sleep ultimate

[gaudi - and the earth said oh my god playing in the background]

i was awake around 7-8am, and after tiring myself out with rss feeds i went back to sleep for about five more hours. i'd put sleepy time gorilla museum on a loop in the background... i don't know if i *love* it, but i can say with 100% certainty that it provides an unbelievably good dream soundtrack.
the long, rather vivid and involved dream that i ended up waking from involved pirates, swashbuckling and gory ballroom horror movie-making.

i watched the new episode of penny arcade, which actually moved me to tears, before going out for breakfast.

the chef has an apprentice, and she's good. not only skilled, but friendly too. it was a beautiful morning (early afternoon) accompanied by the chef's playlist (excellent tunes) and alternating between good company, the merchant of venice and the iliad. karnaf got in touch soon after i was done; it was as if he'd received an alert the moment i decided that i should take siesta.

tired or no, on a day like today i most certainly wasn't going to say no to frisbeer on the beach.

the weather was *perfect*, and it was as if all the beautiful girls in tel aviv arrived at the same conclusion that we did and hit the same beach. we ran into some of karnaf's friends, and frisbeer turned into frisbeer + a good section of a bottle of arak and grapefruit juice.

the other guys had been drinking pretty heavily, and were more than good for a laugh. after hanging with them for a while, we hit the water with the frisbee and had a good session, although it couldn't last very long. i felt as if the arak had entered my bones:
catching: a bit off, but okay
throwing: spot on
wading more than than two feet to grab a miss: nigh impossible

we rested / tanned for a bit before heading out again, and the second session wasn't as tedious and my catching had improved as well. at least the second time the call for a break came from the other side, and we chilled some more before it was time to get up and do something: in my case, come home for a saturday evening nap :)

i watched how i met your mother and the big bang theory before that, though. then i slept for another two hours before waking up to face a bit of unpleasant news: tahoma watched kick ass, and it really upset him. i recommended it after he'd seen and enjoyed kill bill; i figured a bit of gore wouldn't do that anymore.

*sigh*

anyway. in light of scrapper's enthusiasm yesterday for my shirt, i sent him a link to meathead - close to mario. as i lay down to nap earlier, a track by aphex twin popped into my head, but i couldn't find it. it has a section that sounds like metal balls bouncing.

[appended: ah, of course]
