*** yesterday ***

wow! everything went according to plan!
more or less... but more more than less ^_^

i got up around 8am, and picked up my charge at 08.45. we took the bus to tel-aviv, and had a relaxed croissant and coffee on ibn-gvirol. we took a walk down dizengoff, met up with karnaf, and sat down with him for breakfast.

after which we went to willie dogs for lunch.
GREAT hotdogs.

we spent the rest of the afternoon shopping in dizengoff center, and, surprisingly enough, found some stuff for her (it WAS her birthday yesterday).

my charge and i went back to herzliyah (i needed to get to a lecture), and discovered that he was locked out of his apartment. so i left him at my place, to play tekken (i'm a terrible babysitter :P), and went off to listen, for two hours, about how wonderful daimler-chrysler is.
not that i'm saying that it's not.

when i got back, i beat my charge with almost every character (although i think he really has improved, and he destroyed my "anna"), and took him home.

after getting back, i discovered that a major part of my gift had a big-ass sticker on the outside, that wouldn't come off: i spent over half an hour scraping and scratching, and futilely abusing it with alcohol-based aftershave, and multi-purpose-my-bum cleaner.

i had a quick shower, and she arrived. fortunately, she was pleased. we spent the evening eating mike-'n-ike's candy, and playing the israeli version of "uno" (they call it "taki").

*** today ***

i had some really weird dreams: serious laser-tag with m16 replicas, in the neighbourhood i grew up in, destroying property and real-life 4x4's...

i've now had breakfast, read my morning webcomics, and am about to deal with the paper that's due today, and is far from complete...

*** later ***

i got lucky this morning, and found almost exactly what i needed online. so i met up with the others on campus, and we had an emergency finish-the-damn-project session, which was entirely successful.
i hope.
the results. it's all in the results.

we suffered through the most rediculously uninteresting finance lecture - most of us were going crazy by the end of it...

i got a ride home, and spent the entire afternoon playing counterstrike (as opposed to sleeping, which is what i *should* have been doing).

funny story - i use the nick "i_love_bunnies[^_^]" because it's fscked up to be killed by someone with a nick like that. and today, one of my victims got REALLY peeved, and i let him go off at me for twenty minutes, before explaining it to him.
had EVERYONE (including myself) on the server giggling ^_^

in about ten minutes, i'm leaving for work. i have an unpleasant assignment due at 9am...

i love may.
