back in business - not too shabby!

so this morning (yesterday morning. whatever.) was quite laid back. we continued watching the devil's advocate, i introduced the mongoose to my twin niece and nephew, and we went off to the aquarium.

on the way, we found a lot of nice gifts at the waterfront, which was helpful.

the aquarium was grossly disappointing. R65 to enter, and seeing EVERYTHING (some things twice, even) took about 20 minutes. there were only three exhibits that were at all interesting: penguins (amusing), jellyfish (pretty), and enormous lobster-like beasts (creepy). that SUCKED.

we improved our mood a bit with decadent donuts (dough, i know), and then drove through to my cousin's place, to chill at the pool. the mongoose was introduced to the older niece. pity that the cute friend my niece brought along has a boyfriend...

after they left, my mom arrived. we went upstairs to play star wars - battlefront, which really is the shit. we then left to long street (m bar) for drinks with hyperviper, noddiex, and a couple of others... we drank a LOT. seriously. it was really nice there.

i drove home, with only one dangerous incident. i'm not impressed with myself, but we were under time-pressure. no excuse, but it happened.

we finished watching the movie, dressed nicely, and went off to a fancy (supposedly, they were extremely unprofessional in every sense) restaurant. i had an enormous bowl filled with mussels. i made an absolute pig of myself. and the mongoose actually managed to find something nice that he could eat (he's turned out a mite picky, of late).

service aside, it was a very pleasant evening. we returned home to pick up keys, then drove through to landsdowne to meet up with sweetiepie - got a bit lost, and then all the pubs turned out to be closed, so we went to her place. i'm sorry for wasting the mongoose's time, but it was great catching up with her. we talked a lot longer than i expected, and it was interesting. nice place, too :P

we were joking about getting married, and decided against it because the whole jewish / catholic thing doesn't work for either of us. jokes aside, she's one of the few girls i would even consider marrying. *sigh*

anyways, we then went to opium. and finally got there while it was still possible to get in. and we were dressed right.

the music was great, the whole night, and the women were fantastic. incredible. unbelievable. superb. talented all round. we both enjoyed ourselves immensely. finally! we found something!

i'm the last to pass out, it seems. any minute now... (especially considering the volume of alcohol in my blood)
