double post (A)

i usually mash my posts up, but i can't today.

last night i left work for to meet up with this girl. i found my way through the confusing mess of streets that is tel aviv - now that we have access to a roof near the center of the city, we actually have an idea of the layout. space is warped in this city, it's very twilight-zone.

anyway, she wasn't there. so i had a beer, played pool against this guy that spot'd warned me about (i beat him quite tidily), and then walked to the balcony. i had a toasted sandwich on the way... that was quite possibly the worst toasted sandwich i've ever eaten.

i sat chatting with the bartender; after a few sentences, i began feeling extremely jealous of her, and very sorry for myself. she's just finished the army, and is doing absolutely nothing with her life (aside from tending bar), at least for the next few months. i'm busy as can be, and what i'm doing essentially has the same value as what she's up to.

that's painful. so i pondered my pathetic situation, had another drink, started feeling it, took a taxi home, and passed out.

this afternoon: it only took me an hour to wake up. i showered, picked up my laundry, then took a bus to work. i had a serious hamburger for breakfast, and was sitting there eating and reading the paper, the cause of my second post. i've been at work a couple of hours now, simply reading news and doing scraps of work with yogi. i'll hop to it as soon as my blogging is done.

damn addicts.
