good work done, great fun. i would be remiss if i didn't mention that we received a new version release, and once again they changed the api and invalidated all my code. all undocumented. before i sent out an incredibly nasty email to a few of the provider's bosses and all of mine, spot asked if i'd checked the version history... the answer was there. understandable, if not actually mentioned as such.

on the other hand, it's the first real opportunity i've had to test out all my funky bash scripts, and they all handled beautifully :)

spot and i finally made it in time to catch the 11pm bus, as opposed to waiting half an hour for the 23.30 one, which is the norm.

i'm having serious difficulty with the IDF spirit, specifically Tenacity of Purpose in Performing Missions and Drive to Victory and Responsibility. i just can't seem to get them into my head.

everything up until those points is clear and present :D

we stopped for coffee at cafeneto, and spot ordered a really good slice of chocolate cake. the waitress is awesome. at some point in the conversation spot reminded me of his hiccupping while smoking, and then accused me of attempting to destroy the fabric of the cosmos, through leaps and bounds of logic, by having acquiesced to the ordering of the chocolate cake and remarking on the hiccups, and also of attempting to wriggle my way out of paying for the whole deal (in turn causing a paradox).

good lord, that quantity of mental masturbation and i couldn't make him stop until we got in the door and he got distracted, thank the lord.

speaking of thanking the lord, my life's actually just fine now, thank you very much - i had a chat with my mom for a while, and while there're still i's to dot and t's to cross, and things aren't perfect, they're so much better that i'm still having trouble internalizing it all.

and the kid made eggs. cooking. in our apartment. hah! i took over when he had to run outside to pick something up, and it turns out i do remember something about making omelettes. my second mommy hath taught me well ^_^

bedtime!

you be the judge
cute - and relevant.
and this kicks ass
