-almost- ready to face the week

i just realized i only have to be up at 7.15, so i feel better already!

friday:

work was pleasant enough... i had some hardy calls, but nothing too serious. got sucked into a new game on miniclip called motherload, and worked a bit on the lizard's website. i'm slowly earning my free beers ;)

i then walked through to the lizard - dressed all spiffy for winter, with my half-gloves and big fuck-off jacket. not only do i feel good dressed like that, but it drizzled a bit and i had nothing to fear ^_^

j-girl hadn't called me, so i was feeling a bit agitated...

i was at the lizard for a short while, before i got a ride to the mossad - a club i've heard lots about. there i met up with one of the mongoose's ex-girlfriends, and the scout and a friend of his. it took ages to get in. AGES. they have three dancefloors - one for weird happy-clappy metal, one for generally good stuff, and one exlusively hip-hop that wasn't bad at all.

we spent most of the night dancing, but the average age was 18, and there weren't enough attractive girls to make it worth it. because i'm worried about this radioactive examination on monday, i made a comment to the mongoose's ex about needing to get a girl pregnant this weekend... and she offered. i don't think she was serious about the pregnancy, but i think she was about the sex. so i had to explain to her the rules about not sleeping with good friends' women.

she wasn't impressed. and don't think i didn't think about sleeping with her at all, we danced together all night and on the hip-hop floor it got a bit steamy...

i walked home around 4am, and the club is FAR from my place. it was an extremely good morning for a walk, ignoring the fact that i was so exhausted my body ached for each step. i walked through one of the most dangerous areas in the country - all things being relative, of course - and have discovered that i live on its border. nice :P i love the name when translated to hebrew: "the hope" :D

saturday:

of course, i *had* to play syndicate while waiting for hot water. it kills me that the last time i played i was a young teenager, and i was sure that when picking it up again i'd be disappointed. i'm enjoying it even more now! some things never get old. and to think that the sequel sucked SO badly.

i slept until around 11, woke up for breakfast and the wonder years - i find i get too embarrassed on kevin's behalf to keep my eyes on the screen sometimes - and then went back to sleep until about 3/4pm.

i spent the afternoon / evening working, and got quite a bit done. i wasted an hour because i forgot a simple "feature" of vb (function returning) that's quite different from real programming languages, and only discovered the cause of the problem once all the surrounding code was absolutely perfect. swak.

j-girl called! we spent half an hour talking... she finally REALLY dumped the boyfriend (that's what i thought happened last time, so i'm hoping this time it's for real). it's the first time i've ever discussed genital shaving on the phone, and in hebrew it was especially difficult for me. in general i hate telephones, and i find it much harder to express myself in hebrew when the person i'm talking to can't see my face. i hope i didn't blow some kind of test :P

turns out she's only coming back to base on tuesday, so maybe i'll speak to her again in the meantime. i'm trying to convince her to come and spend a night with me in tel aviv... *hint* *hint* (and a few nudges)

i walked to the lizard, and spent half the night dancing, half the night sitting in the kiosk and talking to the mongoose's friends. i rate half our base was there tonight - we're all going to be screwed up tomorrow morning. some girl waved at me on the dancefloor - kind of cute - and i only later learned that i'm supposed to know her from the base. she's was quite upset when she realized i didn't have a clue who she was...

the owner called me into his office - the mongoose was sure it was about all the freebies... he made a comment about it not pleasing him. turned out he wants me to do a few more things on their website. and he's well impressed with the updates i've made so far. three thumbs up! (one of them mine)

i just got home about half an hour ago, gonna shave and shower, and then crash like a king. ooh - hido you bastard! i've been looking for baby learns to ride for years, because i was SURE that's what you told me the song was called - i discovered earlier that i actually HAVE the damn song, and it's called baby wants to ride... i feel so blonde!
