end of the weekend

[... continued]

---today:

yesterday afternoon yang invited me to a drum 'n bass party. i arrived soon after midnight. the music was brilliant and the club has a great atmosphere and a fun crowd.

after much consideration (an hour or two on the dancefloor), i've come to the conclusion that if dubstep is the sound of transformers doing the nasty, then the intersection between dubstep and drum 'n bass is that of transformers doing the nasty on a giant, rusty spring mattress in the middle of an enormous construction site while a galactic-scale war is resolved in the background.

an otherwise excellent night ended with a parking ticket and an argument that i'd later regret and apologize for. i really do get too aggressive when i argue, and i really have been re-realizing this for years and i really don't know what to do to make myself aware of it at the time when i can do something about it. at least if pg's around we have a signal, but i (obviously) can't rely on her to be there for me every time.

i slept well, enjoyed a cup of coffee and then walked to the metro, feeling a bit snotty and coughy by the time i arrived.

you know, there's a lot to be said for angry birds space: it's a great game, and it can be played without an internet connection. i enjoy its puzzles almost as much as i enjoy the challenges in hero academy, but if you're not connected then the latter simply doesn't work. which is a bit silly, in my opinion.

i had a much-needed hot shower and got into internet telephony, then passed out, waking up to master conjunctions and figure out that the packaging on the instant noodles lies. they're instant bloody noodles, you don't need to boil water in a pot.

i've eaten well, learned a lot (both french and video streaming), and watched some more hunter x hunter. and i'm just about done posting. and i'm tired. and monday is just around the corner.

---a few days ago pg informed me that my bank branch in israel has shut its doors and that my account has been moved. what's great is that this happens while i'm out of the country. they've very considerately disconnected my internet banking account and if pg can't get me reconnected i'm going to have a problem... it's like all of the israeli institutions i deal with are conspiring to make my leaving the country all the more attractive.

i complained about this earlier this evening, and discovered that a friend of mine was at the same branch and the move caused a whole bunch of his cheques to bounce. that's really, really professional. well done, leumi, well done.
