strange thoughts

thedarkprojectI may have mentioned this before, but every day, at about 6pm, a couple of goths (one male, one female) walk up from the city centre and eventually past my house, presumably to wherever they live. Whenever I'm heading home at that time myself, I usually see them. What I find odd, is that the male is always about 5 or 6 paces ahead of the female. It's as if they've just had an argument or something, except every single day. And they seem to get along fine, as occasionally they'll draw alongside each other for about a minute to talk for a bit, before they'll separate back out again.
Aren't people strange?
I fooled around with my computer the other day to try and get Windows to start up quicker. One program I managed to remove was a service that apparently helps the webcam apply 'effects' - in other words, software that runs at startup and stays resident until you turn the computer off, on the off-chance that you require the webcam feature that superimposes your face onto a dog or into an astronaut suit or something. W.T.F. Anyway, with that gone, and a couple of others, I think maybe I shaved a second or two off the start-up time, but now it takes 10 seconds longer to shut down.
Aren't computers strange?
This morning I have no running water, and I'm not sure why. Even the hot tap has no pressure. At least my door-opening gadget thingy started working again.
Aren't houses strange?
