tired? pah. i'm comin' out tonight!

i slept like a baby last night. it was hard work getting out of bed, but get out of bed i did. i made it to base on time. we went for breakfast.

good timing. the mongoose walked past with my mp3 player around his neck while we were sitting there, took one look at me, and legged it. i had to take a flying leap over the wall to run him down, but i got him and got it back. turned out useful, too - five minutes later i was leaving the base to get to the hospital.

i HATE the healthcare system here. i waited in the queue at reception for half an hour. i wasn't paying attention to who was behind me, and a fight broke out amongst all the old ladies, all arguing over who was next. they came *indicates with thumb and forefinger* this close to hitting each other with their handbags.

i eventually got in to see the orthopaedist. most fortunate that i'd brought everything along. even more fortunate that he spoke perfect english. he examined my papers (woof!), examined me (the standard, i now can tell the difference), and then explained to me exactly how he felt.

so i walked out with a useful referral to the pain clinic (bring on the pain! MORE PAIN!), specifically for combination anaesthetic / steroid injections into my back. sounds like fun ^_^

i bussed back to our kindergarten (oops! i meant base. although all we do is nap and play games), and we had lunch.

after lunch... I FINALLY FINISHED THE SECOND MAP OF GTA2!!!! i'm STILL thrilled :D
and i did it according to my perfect plan. now that i've unlocked the 2nd map, the kid and i have agreed that while he does the same on the 3rd (he got there months ago), i'm going to try to complete every mission, and every kill frenzy, and get every gta2 logo... etc. etc. i will rule the residential area! everyone will fear my leetness!

i slept hard for about 2 hours - it was a mission getting up to go home. i bussed back, and found million dollar baby waiting for me. i just meant to test it, but wow. damn. great film. difficult, but amazing. inspiring and frustrating. and quite funny. i like it.

i'm going to shower now. then i'm going to dress up as one of the guys in the final destination poster [darn it! who let him get hold of face-paint?! you were WARNED! - ed.], and get myself off to the lizard.

happy purim everyone! all jews are commanded to get so drunk that they can't tell their mothers from their fathers tonight. so i'm going to go be observant.

pulp fiction is great
i'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack! (don't ignore the comments!)
