hunting biscuits

it's true. everything's prettier in linux. i've finally installed it, and phase one went smooooothly :)

i've hopefully gone through the last bits of the horrid hayfever thing, i felt much better today. although that is off a low base. i got up on time this morning, skipped second breakfast in favour of another half an hour's sleep, and kind of did stuff during the day, when nystire and i weren't being obscure and laughing our asses off.

the siren for holocaust remembrance day only went off for about twenty seconds... that was super weird.

i'm still amused at sneaking up on nystire and pouncing on his container of choc-chip cookies, gobbling them down while dragging him along as he tried to wrest them from me ;)

and i managed to trade english lessons for improved conditions to getting an army driver's license :D

when i got back to tel aviv, i went looking for a comic book store that must've closed down, so i took a walk looking for boots instead. i finally found a belt to fit the pants i bought, but no boots. i scarfed down a laffa on the way home, then hopped to installing ubuntu.

nystire assured me that the installation wouldn't take more than twenty minutes, but i got through a lot of hyperion and a half an hour's nap before it was ready. just as i was about to log in for the first time, spot called and i went down to cafeneto, where we sat laughing over some of the silliness from the day before i solidly crashed and burned - wait, make that got napalmed by sunshine. i just never learn.

it's now past my bedtime. but seeing my pc looking so pretty is beguiling...
