i'm rushing to leave, but i'm addicted to blogger so here it goes backwards:

princess mononoke is beautiful. see it!

i watched the movie between sleeps, which began at about 6am. i'd intended to take a sleeping pill when i woke up, but the movie's subtitles were really small so by the time it was over i didn't need one.

SxS, mmf and i had a hot dog breakfast, which was tasty but the atmosphere (+2 arsim on the dodgy side of tel aviv) wasn't too hot.

about five hours of poker - okay, so i passed out of the universe's most comfortable couch (it's still around) for two of them. i actually bought back in for the first time, and both times i went out i was all in with a pair of queens, which hurt a little.

and one of the guys was a prick, but i understand that everyone else thought so too. it didn't help that i kept screwing up the dealing (i was tired), and at one point managed to tip a glass over my neighbour...

we stopped by a friend's place in pituach for an amusing dessert, after a really good dinner at SxS's.

i went to singer's place to watch princess mononoke, but she can't read the subtitles so we watched i am legend instead, which was a lot of fun: it's like a better version of 28 days later.

a long mission around tel aviv got me a peg solitaire board and some chinese puzzles, and then i ran into our neighbour who came with me to buy wine for tonight's leil seder (the big passover meal with religious antics up the wazoo)... the girls at cafeneto were shocked to see us together, and i don't think they believed for one second that we're not an item :P

i payed some bills at the post office, and bore witness to wonderful displays of service ethic and the israeli ability to stand in line.

happy holidays!
