tickets!

[i couldn't deal with the gimp's selection tool, and this is what me giving up looks like]

spot shouted it at the same time as my phone began beeping, the reminder "tickets!" flashing at me with uncanny serendipity. we have tickets! to nine inch nails!

i woke up late this morning (on purpose, this time), put in the laundry, and woke spot up. he made us a solid breakfast and could take the washing out.

i would've caught the bus if i hadn't left my dog-tags behind... i had to take a taxi to the train station, which was an annoying waste of cash.

a large part of today was sitting in transit. not cool. but it was a fun day, educational, and as much hebrew as was thrown at me i handled well, understood, participated and didn't fall asleep ^_^

and lunch was really good.

when i got home all sweaty and gross, i was faced with the option of showering and becoming disgusting again, or just going out as is. i went with showering later.

spot and i got the tickets, and then went to sit at another coffee shop in the area that we've never visited before. the service wasn't good, but it was provided with a smile by a really cute waitress, and the attitude really does make all the difference. we had plenty of time to discuss the sad state this world is in...

specifically the current situation with iran. it would be interesting to see, if the americans pulled out (which we know is impossible to do gracefully, these are arabs they're dealing with), how long it would take for the iranians to move in to iraq and afghanistan. world war three, anyone? the americans would be in an incredibly uncomfortable situation, the arab league probably would be forced to side with the new big boy, india would be in deep shite and the EU would be pretending neutrality while inherently supporting the arabs. russia would be needlessly defensive, the chinese amused, and we'd be screwed.

but that's just the short, quick-and-dirty version of a long session of mental masturbation :P

partly because i hadn't showered yet, i was inspired to go for a blade, which i haven't done in a long while. see the post above for the reason that i came home pissed, having a good scream and laugh with our neighbour (ex-police) before coming inside to shower and rant.
