grand freakin' weekend

it has been a long, long, LONG time.

met up with the girls (resurrection and tesla) at the lizard, and we walked into the first techno party where i thoroughly enjoyed the music. simply brilliant. the girls and i danced, and sat and talked, until roughly 6am. tesla was looking absolutely fantastic - but i couldn't go after her after i'd already begun things with resurrection (who's not bad-looking at all, but it's all relative :P). the mongoose informed me at some point that the other guys there were beginning to get upset with me monopolizing the two of 'em... i told him they could get stuffed ^_^

anyway, we drank a lot, but not too much (i'm learning when to chill - and strangely enough, plenty of shots don't do as much damage to me as a pint of beer. odd.), and tesla disappeared when things began taking their course with resurrection (okay, i'll admit. i'd been hoping to go home with both of them. bummer). when the party began shutting down, and everyone was hinted at most politely to get the fuck outta there, we began moving in the direction of my place.

we sat talking on a bench for a couple of hours, then took a cab to my place. we pretty much went straight to sleep, and until midnight we spent the day alternating between dozing and shagging.

it has been a long, long, LONG time.

i haven't felt that comfortable with a girl since forever, and everything was just right. there's nothing i appreciate more than a woman who can put thinking out of the picture when it comes to the fun stuff ;)

around midnight, we took a taxi to her place, and i said goodnight and walked to the lizard, stopping for a sandwich when i registered that i hadn't eaten anything since the night before. the party at the lizard was great; i stood and chatted for a while, then walked slowly and merrily home and put myself to bed.

...

waking up this morning went way better than i'd expected. on the bus, i ran into my teammate who'd gotten carded thursday night; discovered that she'd properly managed to lose her soldier's id. that'll get her in shit. it was the friendliest bus-ride to base i can remember, and we got there in time to do the morning rounds.

a surprisingly large part of the day was spent arguing about that foxy russian girl i was introduced to the other day. everybody has a different rating system, and our CO's DYING to see what she looks like :D

we got some work done today, we got lots of fun stuff in too, and that air force transfer looks to be rolling onto the runway.

i've been at work for three hours now, and have only just finished catching up on emails and news. now for the graft.

oh yes... and linkage:
pandora is the most awesome thing i've come across. ROCKS!!
interesting commentary:

at age 18, most israeli youths enter the armed services, where a battery of psychological and intelligence tests identify the most intelligent and promising inductees. while their u.s. counterparts are still deciding on a major in college, young israelis are being asked to fly jets, oversee projects under wartime deadlines and conduct other urgent tasks.
