back at the ranch

yesterday:

work was actually quite fun: i got sammy interested in kingdom of loathing, and got to talk on irc again! i love working there.

i slept at sammy's, and during the afternoon got him completely addicted to counterstrike. i'm a selfish, bad person. but proud of it, too.

in the late afternoon, i went through to visit a friend in herzliyah, and then went with SxS and a friend for drinks and snacks at medzzo, a really uppity restaurant in the industrial area.

late night caught us playing texas holden, a really cool variation on poker. i did REALLY well at the beginning, but ultimately got left with nothing. oh well, it's my first time.

today:

i slept really badly, and woke up early to go sort out social security. the security by the door really pissed me off, as they confiscated my bag due to a pair of nailclippers. i almost lost my rag.

sorting out SS wasn't too rough - i paid it off at the bank. i had a haircut, and then met up with an old associate for steaks and dealing: seems i might be getting a salary for a bit... db project, sounds interesting enough. now i just gotta guarantee that i get paid.

he dropped me off at the bus station, and i took the buses to the kibbutz, where i met a second cousin for the first time. so we've all been chatting, and arbing, and eating, and by now it's way past time to be showering, as the haircut's left me all itchy.

w00t! i have clean clothes now!
