nothing like 'net

friday morning i woke up, spent about 20 minutes barefoot on the grass with coffee and butter (butterfly net = cigarette), hurriedly dressed, got a ride from a cousin to afula, sat and got my tickets organized (all electronic, very cool), then bussed for two hours to get back home.

stopped at azrieli, did some shopping, then returned *home* home. from that point until last night, i was packing up my life. spot helped me out a lot - i really owe him one for that.

on friday night, the two of us went with s'belle to mike's place for supper. within five minutes s'belle managed to remind me why i promised not to go out with her again. good lord, i'm such an idiot! what the hell could possibly interest me in a stupid girl that young??

oh, yeah. that ass. dead sexy. needs a spanking. but it won't be getting it from me. HELL no.

got a ride from another friend from base, then passed out watching apocalypse now redux. woke up, went to be introduced to the storage facility, and saw the apartment. STUNNING, ENORMOUS apartment. only problem is it's completely accessable from the street, and the doors don't lock.

brilliant.

then i resumed packing, rejoined by spot. we finished around 10pm or so, then walked to the lizard. lots of american tourist kiddies, hysterical to watch. had quite a bit to drink, talked a lot, danced a bit, reminisced too much (:P), then walked home, showered, and crashed.

my apartment is so sad now.

this morning i was in such a hurry to pack everything for the base, that i forgot to bring pants for work. i organized some pretty cool shit in our systems^*1, then the kid and i went to the givatayim mall for lunch. nando's with serious peri-peri - i almost cried, tears of joy ^_^

went past my soon-to-be old place, spoke with the movers, picked up my pants, then returned to base. spent the afternoon doing fun stuff, then came to work. now that i've gotten this out of my system, i can actually start grafting.

^*1 up until today, in order to switch between our old systems and the new ones, we've had to run three different things each time, and personally keep track of which systems are currently available. so i sorted out that we only have to "flip a switch", essentially, and the second that's finished changing the environment, an active desktop block on the desktop updates to say which systems are activated. looks sharp!

*ahem* oh, right: the title of this post. i'm officially disconnected from the net for the next two months, so i'll only be updating from work. the conversation i had with the adsl provider this morning was quite funny: the girl didn't believe me when i told her i had a problem with understanding hebrew - "but you don't have an accent!"

*big thumbs up for me*
