salty, salty tears

but first - a rather insightful cartoon i've been sent:


i slept like a baby last night. got to the base in time for inspection - i'd really shined my boots properly, which actually felt kinda weird. waiting to be inspected took forever.

the kid and i breakfasted, then spot and i went to a meeting for lonely soldiers (didn't really do any good), and took another breakfast. we returned to the office with the intention of wasting time, but i was called upon to play jay (as in, jason mewes). so i changed, messed with the wig, and waited my turn.

i was supposed to be snorting coke. we had talcum powder. not being entirely certain of its possible side-effects - the warning label on the bottle being a good hint - i got hold of salt instead. three takes, three lines of salt. i don't know if any of the takes are any good, but i've been told they're absolutely hysterical from the perspective of somebody who HASN'T just fucked up their nasal passage. that shit HURT.

maybe i should've shortened the lines a little.

i can't tell you how difficult it is to say "snoochy booches" in jay's voice, while unable to uncrinkle eyes, nose and cheeks.

had a fairly decent lunch (i had a packed malawach, and the chips were alright), then spent an hour wasting time with the team. then i went off to the dentist. to discover that they'd cancelled the appointment that i made over a month ago. without asking me. just cancelled it. without letting me know. just - cancelled - my - appointment.

WTF?!?!?!

so i made my way back. i crashed for a while, got up for "supper", then bussed through to mmf's. i lazied and arbed and slept for an hour or so, then spot came over and i beat him in tekken... although it wasn't by as much as i'm used to. it bothers me that it's more likely that i'm getting worse, than that he's improving.

i'm at work now, until 1.30am. then it's either back to mmf's, or out and back to mmf's, because either way i need to get home in the morning, so that i can spend the weekend in tel aviv proper.

*sigh*
i WILL remember to pay my electricity bill.
