*** early morning ***

i went for a walk, as my mum told me, and it turned out to be an okay idea - i definitely didn't feel worse, and i did buy something to drink on the way back.

i managed to get onto a cs server :) - the only problem is once you start playing you completely lose track of time.
i meant to stop playing around 00.30, and it's now 02.30 and i still haven't gone to sleep.

i sucked at the beginning, but then i picked up my game later on. but it took me ages to get the ten or so frags that i did, and i really can't tell if these guys are that good or if my aiming is that bad.
time will tell.

good night.

*** later ***

i have the most comfortable bed in the whole world.
thank you, bed.

i woke up at 08.30 to try to sort my life out. at this rate, this is never going to happen... i made some calls, discovered that i didn't have to leave my room, and started playing cs - again.
between maps i did my washing, moved a step forward in gaining ftp access to the site i'm supposed to be working on (they keep changing the username/password, and then wonder why i'm not doing anything), and i think at some stage i had breakfast.
details.
i got a really important phone call, just as i turned a corner and into the barrel of someone's gun, and i had to be polite and friendly when all i could think of was "you killed me!".

eventually, around lunchtime, or a little later, i went to the shops to organize a lock for my door - if i'm going to sa for a couple of months then i'm not leaving it open.

i got back, installed the lock, and continued playing.
i forgot to mention that today was a beautiful day - i was meant to go surfing this morning (finally, we have some waves), but i forgot. turned out to be a good thing though.
herzliyah had another sewerage leak today, so the water's crap. and this happens regularly.

you'd think in a country being terraformed they'd use the shit for fertilization, and stop dumping (tee hee) it.

but then, you'd think they'd have set up desalinization plants already.

enough politicking: i got my fifth of six results today, and it is 73%.
quite frankly, i don't give a crap if i got one of the lowest scores, it's good enough for me.
it's looking more and more like i'm going to be studying next year...
imagine. me with a degree.

i've spent the rest of my day playing - in the last two maps, i managed to keep my score higher than my deaths! i'm very excited, these guys are good and i'm starting to return to my original 1337 skills.
if i ever seriously type something like that - i EXPECT someone to shoot me.
it's stoopud.

i've just had supper, and i'm seriously thinking of playing some more...

oh, yeah - i had a breakthrough this morning with the drivers - i've been studying this driver, which looks really complicated and is difficult to understand, for two weeks now.
this morning i realized that i don't have to deal with it at all, so i've wasted a lot of time...
only problem is that now that i know how to do it, in my head it's done, and i have no inclination to finish it.
typical.
