I've been very busy these last few days... I spent Atonement day's eve mostly reading the hp fanfic Asaf sent me. It was very good, but I still like DH better. Asaf disagrees, but, well, never mind.

On Atonement day itself I had fun watching Die Hard 4.0 with my dad on my computer (really good action, and Bruce Willis is still incredible at this role) and a rewind of Life on Mars (the first season, a few episodes). Michali and Eyal came over for lunch (Eyal watched us eat since he does fest. I can never understand how he's being so nonchalant about people around him eating while he's hungry...) and stayed a few hours. Didn't do anything special as the day ended, and I went to sleep early.

Yesterday I woke early because I had a long drive ahead of me. I took my sunglasses, a big wallet of CDs and headed north, towards Tiv'on. The reason I went there was that I had a seminar for Perach (could they have stuck it in the end of the fucking world even further?!?!). As i expected, it was mostly bullshit with tiny freckles of actual important stuff. By the time it was over I was tired and annoyed, with two cups of coffee behind me. Luckily i had the car, and I was determined to make this day a better one, so, having been in the north, I went to see Asaf and Sofi in Haifa. The drive there wasn't very hard, and i found their place easily enough (having been there a few times already) and I spent two and a half hours chatting with them (it took Asaf an hour and a half to get home, so I spent most of the time talking to Sofi and watching her eat soup almonds with honey...) Parenti also showed up for some time, and we talked for a bit about how my Perach work collides with my hatred of children (that was quite the conversation, I tell you...), and then I thought it was already time to leave so I took off. It took me 20 minutes (and three mistakes, mind you) to get out of Haifa, but when I got to the coast highway I put my foot down on the gas and made it to Holon in just under and hour and 15 minutes.

Why, yes, I was on about 130 kph most of the way, why do you ask? :)

Had a meeting with the Perach school's headmistress and counselor this morning, but I still made it on time to work.

"Chris, I'm going to tell you two words that will change your life forever - Multi tasking."

Yes, I'm in love with John Simm, move along, there's nothing to see.

Hey, I thought I was the only nut-case that liked soup almonds in honey! (and in anything, really. Soup almonds are so great, they make everything better. The same goes for peanut butter and sweet chili sauce. Oddly enough, though, those 3 don't mix well together. Maybe I need to use better ratios, though?)

Well, we can look at it as a triangle (like the good-fast-cheap triangle) - soup almonds and sweet chilli sauce go great togeth... Well, no actually...

:)

How's Italy? Having fun? Missing us?

And also, peanut butter with sweet chili sauce is horrendous. Peanut butter with soup almond work well together, thought (at least IMO. Roie_m won't agree with me on that).

Italy's great, and the coffee is wonderful :). Missing you all, come here and join me!
