slowdown

the big guys have reviewed my submission already. i've been asked to call them after the weekend (tuesday, because monday's thanksgiving). should i be excited?

---it was rainy today, and i slept in. eventually i got up, had breakfast, and tried (and failed) to set up the testing environment in linux. then pg reminded me that i hadn't tried using her computer... but it didn't run there either. so i sat back down, made the changes i hope worked, added a couple of finishing touches and then decided that i'd done enough.

what will be, will be.

i then watched we are legion - the story of the hacktivists (see my comments on the subject, please), after which pg and i took a walk in the rain to find the bar with pool tables that we've passed a few times.

long story short, the drinks are expensive (just like in israel) but the atmosphere's cool, the tables cost per game, the radio station was playing great rock music and the tables are just fine. it was all very cosy.

after a few games we came back, stopping for a bite at the 24-hour indian bagel place across the road (i somehow missed the vegan dishes and settled for samoosa-like things) before returning home, eating leftovers (it's a thing, here) and sitting down for dogtown and z-boys.

that was invigorating - it's an excellent and interesting documentary - but now i'm tired. it's a long weekend and i can spend it however i want. i like this.
