breaking heads

wow. php + curl + json + vtiger + remote testing = headache. even if none of the elements in that equation is particularly complicated. i can't believe it's such slow going. i've just spent my entire day here and i haven't managed to login successfully yet :S

a part of the hold-up was learning that i didn't have anything to learn regarding ReST, and there's nothing more time-wasting than seeking something that doesn't exist.

sunday:

after posting, i scooted home and pg and i bladed to a faraway park to play frisbee, barefoot in the dark. it was one of those rare, satisfying, "i must be doing something right" moments in life. for some reason it reminded me of india, but i cannot fathom why.

how complicated is it for cyclists to stick to the right on narrow pathways? it's a recurring theme. people in this country just don't think.

i had a power dinner (great tuna salad), and we settled down to watch a few more episodes of one piece. pg's addicted ^_^

monday:
i scribbled down dream notes but they're not clear enough to understand anything from them. i only know that i slept in a bit.

i spent some time building my vampire character, then went to have a panoramic scan of my jaw done.

the day was HOT. the heat waves have begun. i constructed a portable gazebo on the roof, almost ripping a hole in my neck when my pliers slipped while trying to fix something. *deep breath*

it was no mere heat wave: it was joined by a dust storm. nice. i went looking for a fan; the first place i went to didn't have, so i had to mission a bit. i was a bit uncomfortable when my credit card didn't pass, but it turned out to be the shop's machine on the fritz. it's not nice to be in negatives.

i bought a large fan, beers, and a sixpack of water - carrying them back home alone was tough. i was extremely fortunate in that the packet with the beers only split when i was already in our street, so pg could rescue me without too much hassle...

scrapper, botchman and eidetic arrived and we roasted the afternoon away while playing vtm on the roof. it's a good story, and i got the hang of my character without too many hitches :D

i drove us to the big passover dinner, a languid drive that had us there early in spite of our intentions to the contrary. it was great seeing everyone! and great that some of my cousins had difficulty recognizing me :D

the seder was combined with a celebration of my cousin's impending 80th birthday, and the evening was really loud, and really fun. and the food was excellent as usual - only this time the steaks came out as a surprise and i'd already loaded my plate...

... the mousse was deadly. also as usual.

the drive back was chilled, and i didn't have any troubles with my night vision, which usually worries me.

tuesday:

i began the day sitting across the road from cafeneto to use their wifi, unimpressed with the amount of hooting, mizrachi music and dog shit. i returned home for a quick snack, then walked to eidetic's to continue the game.

brilliant. absolutely brilliant.

i met up afterwards with urchin for coffee and a chat, then returned home and pored over wired before pg and i went out for the rollerblading group. the route was AWESOME. the evening was really fun. coming down rokach was madness. pure adrenaline, and i was way too aware of the danger when i hit maximum speed. pg's first response upon hearing about it from somebody else: "you're NOT doing that again!"

actually, i think i am ^_^

today:

it was a chilly morning - i woke up with the internal shakes, and i'm not sure if it was the cold or something else. i went to rabin square to sell our spare ticket to the festival, then went hunting for a pocket-belt. no luck, and i even braved the market for it. i did purchase a random unbrella (which i'll spray over).

i came in to work, handled a whole lot of internet stuff, and aside from that i've been working all day. now i'm going to go over my seminar paper - rough it up a bit - and then it's time to go home and rest my poor little brain.
