pizza nightmare

this time, the weekend abused me. it all started after posting yesterday morning... not in the least helped by this strange, nagging feeling that something's wrong. a feeling that i simply cannot finger or fathom.

the kid and i did some shopping, and then began yet another mission to find a beach umbrella. this was even worse than before, and in fact the only beach umbrella we came across was in the hands of an understanding young woman who'd desperately pulled it from a trash can. the situation in this city is dire.

we came home disappointed, and i spent the rest of it in my room. around 7pm spot woke me up and invited me to dinner at his gran's, so i had a shower, dressed and we walked over there.

friday night family dinner should not involve ordering pizza. it wasn't bad pizza, it's just that it's a tacky thing to do. after dinner i went with spot's sister's friend to get some ice-cream and shuttle to visit hdg, then go on to euphoria, a really sweet little bar which was hosting a rather funky electro-session.

we weren't there long before some friends of hers dragged us off to the lansky, which is an absolutely stunning bar catering for an absolutely crap crowd. it was awkward to begin with, and then the horrid, disgraceful tech-middle-eastern music started, and the grossest of the gross got up to jiggle and wobble and make stupid noises. our cue to leave.

i got to bed around 2.30am, and suffered the most aweful pizza-dreams. i'm glad i don't remember much, but i struggled and tossed and turned until around 10am, and followed it up with a day of agitated fumbling. mostly reading karl schroeder - lady of mazes (which is getting interesting) and playing fallout 2.

i just can't set my mind on anything at the moment, and i don't know why.

our neighbour and her friend joined us for supper, and they cleaned up after us which was surprising and nice :)
we began watching flash gordon - great film - but were vetoed by our neighbour and forced (oh, the pain) to watch pulp fiction again. could've been worse.

now to begin another week. just one more of keeping it together before i take my leave.
