i seem to have very bad luck at my attempts to turn golden brown. apparently, everytime i plan to go to the public pool to get a tan, the sun is shining like a Stephen King novel. however, by the time i actually get to the pool, that stupid ball of fire runs and hides behind some clouds. thus, hindering all forms of sunlight and my chances of becoming an instant mat.

today was no exception. the sun kept peeking in and out of the clouds like Indian dancers behind a cypress. i waited for 45 minutes before becoming fed-up with the sun's game of hide-and-seek. 12 laps in the pool later, i was gone to the toilet and setting off for home.

walking out of the swimming complex, the sun suddenly shone like there was no tomorrow. chee bye. i hate Murphy's Law.
