the sleeping beauty galaxy
i took that walk yesterday - i had a long chat with my mother on the way, she told me to pass on a message to lucky's mom that i attended the right school and know how to chew with my mouth closed :P
btw - turns out that tgtbt got accepted into berkeley as well. WOW. that's quite the impressive list of potential universities she's got going there.
i ordered two tickets to v for vendetta online. i'm always uncomfortable putting personal details and credit card information up for grabs, but i did it anyway. only after the payment went through - i'm such an idiot - i realized that i wasn't 100% sure i'd chosen the right cinema theatre. the theatre's name is "peer", but the only road in tel aviv with that name is on the wrong side of the city, and in the middle of a complicated maze of side-streets. eventually figured out that the name has nothing to do with the street. quite the relief, that was :$
hey moonflake - do you remember your response when we discovered that i'd be taking a course in logic? just goes to show.
lucky came around, after talking a bit we drove to the theatre. we were met there by spot and crasher - lucky's not too fond of crasher, he's not the most socially ept person i know. our seats were separate - we were meant to be more on a date. good thing lucky doesn't seem to be too keen on the dating thing, just another positive notch for her :)
let me be clear: v for vendetta is a wonderful movie. it's the proper movie version of 1984, and it's done brilliantly. the story, the script, the casting and acting, the cinematography; it's all simply wonderful. i'd been misled into believing that it was an action movie, however, and there was probably a total of about 5 - 10 minutes of action. it was all great, though.
-- i've been listening to simon and garfunkle, and bookends theme just came on, reminding me of girl interrupted. --
after the movie we discovered that the coffee shop we owe money to was closed, so we dropped off spot and went to the lizard. we had a good time, but it was late and we left after about 20 minutes or so.
we came back here, brushed teeth, set the alarm, and put on invader zim. come on, i had to. and it was appreciated! ^_^
and so we skip to 5.45am. the alarm went off, i turned on the hot-water cylinder, and we lay in for about 20 minutes. then it was time to shower (just me, unfortunately), get dressed, say goodbye, and head off to the base. it was rainy but warm - my favourite - and i didn't even take my mp3 player with me. i spent the morning basking in the memory of waking up next to somebody i actually like, and seems to feel the same way (it's a bit early to be making assumptions for either of us - but it's about the sensation more than reality), with rain pattering on the balcony and a peaceful day ahead of me.
in fact, i had bugger-all to do today. so aside from the first hour that i was locked out of my office (i spent that visiting the girl-farm and talking a lot of crap with friendlies), i spent my day clearing email. and laughing at psychotic american, whose emails are unintentionally hysterical. one of them was so amusing i called up spot to read it out, and i had to keep pausing when neither of us could control our laughter. my co-workers wanted in, but it didn't really translate without a bit of history.
i spoke to the kid about his work, and got a good opportunity to pass on some wisdom gained from some of my more upsetting experiences working in the industry here. makes the memories a little less painful when they turn out to have a purpose.
i came straight home, and ignoring about 20 minutes of exercise while watching K1 2005 finals @ tokyo, i've just been arbing online (ask zenstar is bloody brilliant. thank you zen!), and am about to hit the shower. i don't feel like thinking any further than that.
'nuff sed.
