Half-Deaf Mute

29 July 2009, 18:26

The Good:

McG’s work’s annual ball – the seasonal “Christmas in July”. Everyone dressed up, my dress in particular had a particularly special red bow for Christmas effect. Hey, someone had to do it. Plenty of sparkling wine (to offset acute hunger pains at waiting until 10pm for our mains… just a small gripe you understand), making superb new friends. Apple Strudel. Nom-central.

The Deaf:

Look, I’m already deaf in one ear, but the other ear got a severe pounding at post-ball Karaoke at K-Box in Lonsdale Street. K-Box was such a find. Piles of individual karaoke rooms, a bit of a rarity in Melbourne. 16 of us crammed into 2 rooms. One a death-metal room, the other a room for a more friendly Gen-X tone (Madonna, Kenny Loggins, you get the drift). My ears are still ringing with a post Bohemian Rhapsody aural hangover. Nice.

and the Mute:

Laryngitis. Self-inflicted. I don’t expect any sympathy.
