continuous beat

ah - i just got back from watching kiss kiss bang bang and the ant bully at protoplasm's, the first is awesome and the second is cute. on my way home, i turned a corner and found myself on the right side of the road - that was pretty scary and freaked me out for the rest of the drive :S

yesterday afternoon my mother and i went to my uncle's place for drinks. it's been much easier to talk to him since my father pegged, at least i don't have to worry about letting too much slip.
my sister rocked up and we went to inspect my mother's new apartment, and then i came home and read for a bit until hellraiser arrived. we sat chatting for a while, then moved on to call-a-pizza.

aside from getting a great pizza (hellraiser: thanks again!), i was on a mission to get another cd before i leave. slug was visiting, eating pizza (strangely enough), so after listening to one of his discs i asked if i should just buy it off him directly.

the call-a-pizza guys sell trance albums, and it's a great attraction to the store. the fact that all the cash gets back to the artists is just great, cause that's the whole point of not downloading them in the first place :D

so slug told me to pay the mad hatter, and because hellraiser had sponsored dinner i had enough for two discs, and i got a third one free. now that i've had a chance to listen to them i gotta say that i'm well impressed with my new purchases ^_^

and it was nice to see that i made it into the video they took from the vortex :P
they can't give me a copy, though - so as usual i'll just have to rely on my memories until the next one :(

we went through to hellraiser's for a bit; really nice pad. on the way in it kept running through my head that the building he's staying in is the one i lost my virginity in - not very meaningful, but amusing nonetheless. i left just as the post-pizza trauma began to set in, and went straight to bed.

i woke up early this morning, and my mother dropped me off at uct to check out the library. every time i walk in there i want to sign up for an arbitrary course just as an excuse to sit there day in and day out learning.
i kept walking up and down the shelves wanting to be able to suck out all the knowledge from the books just by touching them - they have an unbelievably large collection of books covering topics that really interest me, and i'm sure i'll never really find the time to go through any of them :(

we spent the rest of the morning shopping; i found an interesting looking book on digital communications so i'll start peeking on the flight back. the flight back is all too soon :(

we went to my other aunt's place for coffee, then to canal walk for Even More Shopping^TM, and finally back to sea point.

i was at my cousin's place in the afternoon, we were sitting and talking outside when my brother suddenly rocked up. i enjoyed spending some time with him - it's not that he's a bad guy, he's just an asshole. i'm no less disappointed in him than i was before, but i almost always enjoy his company.

i'm now taking a break before heading back to town... my last night in south africa, and i don't know for how long :( [as usual, dumbass. stop whining!]
