nutshells

i managed about three hours' sleep last night, primarily because i was watching promotional videos from cape town trance parties. awesome.

i slipped back into the routine morning quickly, hating it only slightly less than usual. breakfast was alright, and then the meeting that i posted about took place. one of the positive effects of the new situation is that i'll be able to continue working on last year's big project - amusingly enough, i get an even better computer than before.

the base sociologist was horrified when she overheard me enthusiastically describing my new status to one of the guys :P

lunch was doable - apparently this week's been a good one - and i have to admit that there's no sleep as satisfying as that siesta taken while in uniform and theoretically on duty. nystire called me a bastard for stating that upon waking. he's right.

i read a bit of the merchant of venice, and i'm more and more glad that i obtained the copy that i did, it's full of interesting bits :)

we caught and soaked one of the unit's toughest (he was promoted recently), and although i took a knock on the chin during the struggle it didn't do any damage and we definitely got him back. quickest washing i've ever been a part of - about five minutes to drenched :)

i wasn't able to read on the shuttle home, and was sitting too awkwardly to sleep, so i put on ambient trance and just mellowed. i was in a sterling mood by the time i got home! i went to cafeneto to use the net, but the connection there sucked. i've just taken to attaching my netbook to my router, so i'm finally set.

i finally learned to use cue-tips to put in ear drops, but i'm feeling a tad leaky now...

scrapper and i played forty-five minutes of great frisbee, and now that i've chatted with my mum and had a snack, i'm off to blade ^_^

mini da minx is an awesome girl i met through hyperviper a few years ago, who's just released a really tidy track called frisk my disco with vlad sokolov - very cool!
