verbal overdrive

hoo boy. we had a great dinner last night, driving there was pleasant and driving back only a bit of a mission (i was super-tired). some of my cousin's ex-south african friends were there... and it turned out we had a lot to talk about. and when things get political, i can't not step up onto the platform.

not that it wasn't appreciated, but i did feel a bit guilty nonetheless :$

i didn't have the energy to drive to ra'anana at 1am to visit SxS, i didn't even have the energy to sit with pg and watch domino, one of my favourite films.

...

i woke up this morning at a reasonable hour, took the thesis up to the roof with breakfast, and got most of the way through before being commanded back downstairs to waterproof some cracks in the external walls. so i've had a bit of sunshine, and bit of exercise, and now we're taking a break before finishing the job and deciding whether or not to do anything productive today :D

new academic goal: to write a thesis at least as interesting as the one i'm reading. it's about fan-fiction, video games and comic books, and it's really thought-provoking!
