it was great waking up late, having breakfast and coffee slowly. i took a bus to the immigration bureau, and that turned the morning on its head. the idiot woman doesn't understand that her job parameters are not merely defined by a bunch of rules, but that she's actually part of an organization whose function is to serve real-life human beings.

while i was shouting at her, rather harshly in retrospect, some american walked in at the end of his tether, and she began giving him bureaucratic grief too. we were both shouting at her when a guy from new zealand waltzed in, rolled his eyes and with an amused smile began studying the wall.

we eventually managed a breakthrough, and while i was waiting my turn the new zealander and i struck up a conversation, he's a surfer in the area so i might get it together sometime to join him. and the woman who dealt with me was the same cow as last time, but what needed doing took five minutes so i didn't have to crack my teeth on a frosty smile.



on the way to base, i discovered that i'd somehow managed to skip about half a chapter of lady of mazes, and i was so entranced going through it with flashes of "oooh, so that's what that was!" that i almost missed my stop.

the day was pretty much standard. i can't believe i'm saying that about a good day - it's so nice to be living the good life! the only source of irritation was calling up a wrong number due to a miscommunication, and having to deal with a really unhelpful prick.

i got a ride to azrieli, and couldn't find anything i was looking for. tower records have re-classified all forms of rock as "pop/rock", which is retarded. i don't want to go through all the latest crap to find real musicians :/

i did enjoy a great supper from shinto, though. they make their rice perfect for chopsticks!

i ran into ru55's girlfriend on the way home, we had a fun chat, and then i bussed home, with some weird old crusty making intermittent remarks like "you don't take responsibility for all your actions".

i drew cash, did some shopping, did the washing, showered, and have now spent more than enough time online.

thought for the day: "all i need is love".
