two out of four

i've been very conscious of keeping my back straight today, and i've been mostly fairly relaxed. it may be helping that i've been listening to hard rock and metal again for the first time in months, and it's a good way to vent.

either it was really hot today, or that was a fever breaking :P
i arrived at the clinic, and realized before going in on wheels that i hadn't tried to call once i got outside.

no problem.

i made an appointment with the opthalmologist, then continued on to work. i spent the day familiarizing myself with one of the less interesting systems; it became much more interesting when i discovered that all the php logic is ass backwards, and i invested a fair amount of time understanding it while being completely flabbergasted.

after waiting an hour for the burger i'd ordered from zinc, i called to discover that the driver had had a problem.
no shit.
it arrived fifteen minutes later with no charge; it had to be warmed up in the microwave, but it was still a tasty burger and it was free - not a bad lunch.

nobody complained about jamiroquai at work today, and i was impressed to discover that i like a lot of stereo mcs (i didn't know the name) :)
i've been stressing a little over health insurance, and i was called up and offered a program today that sorts me out comfortably... *phew*

by the time i was ready to leave (chased away by a headache brought on by a buggy mysql database) i'd figured out how to rewrite the site logic and manipulate a few of the tables to make it all smoother, faster, shorter and more efficient. my web-fu is still good, it seems. and i got flex and php on friendly terms, so it was all-in-all a successful afternoon.

* the quote "i think i broke it" wasn't appreciated. at least i managed to get it all working before heading off :P

i got home all sweaty again - there was barely enough time for a pirate bath before walking to shadal 7: a dive underground that's extremely cool. lipgirl and i met there to hear a comedian friend of hers, alon nahari. aside from starting an hour late and aggravating me with his toilet humour [literally], he did have some funny topics and he's pretty much the first israeli comedian to make me laugh.

i wasn't totally enthusiastic when he began... not only did the warm-up act suck, but i realized that lipgirl simply isn't serious about music. buggrit :(

both the walk there and back had me feeling like a king - was this past week me being on the downside of bipolar? another of lipgirl's comedian friends joined me halfway, and our chat was more serious than friendly... my bad :(

i went shopping, and returned home to discover that chc finished the tuna (apparently, i'm mostly sure that i didn't have the last one), so i settled for mixing marmite and beef on one rice cake and nutella and beef on another. they both worked. or my tastebuds are screwed. it doesn't really matter.

i was going to work, but i'm tired. morning, then.

the dog whisperer? i'd throw a "come on!" but he's pretty darn impressive.
