Today I grow older
Although some of these fotos are from the night of the 10th, it is from a party that took place near midnight and crossed to the 11th, so for all I care they fit in the 11th
The day started slow and gradually escalated into a frenzy in a BIG birthday party, that actually wasn't mine
It was a birthday party we were invited to (that happened to be of some actress called Avital Abergil (formerly named Avital Oz [till she got divorced])... Anyway...
After a visit to my girlfriend, who had a killer headache and didn't want (couldnt) come to the party I headed to the unknown. Strangely enough (and it IS strange) I arrived first to the crime scene. So I passed my time eating small (tapas like) sandwiches and drinking lots of punch. I don't know what I did more - eat or drink, but I am sure that at that stage, before everybody came, I was more fed up than drunk (a situation which will soon change).
The second strange thing this night (or all nights) was that I met 2 "figures" from the past. Of all days, they come to haunt me tonight? I guess its a small world.
By the time my friends came, I finished all the tapasandwiches there were and even consumed all the punch that was left unattended. So as a last step of desperation I headed to the secret reserve of Chocolate-balls
after 10 of those I concluded that its enough solid food for me and I should stick to drinks. Now... I know it sounds like I already had too much food and too much drink by now, but, when you had too much to drink, it doesn't really matter what might seem logical to others at other times
So I kept drinking.
My friends arrived and we continued to drink.
Zilzi came with Tami (his supercute girlfriend), and Zilzi #2 came as well. Later on Sefi (Tal Shavit [aka. Otsker
]) came with his lovely girlfriend Soli and we ALL drank some more.
After a long party with drinks and dances we decided to try another place, a little more quiet, so we can sit and talk some. Sushi was the idea thrown, but half way to the Sushi we changed planes.
Half way to the new place we changed plans again and so on and so forth. Until by accident we arrived to one of the planned places. A short ride with the car took us to a place called "Brasserie".
Last strange thing for the night, although I tried to guess how to finger-whistle for years, on my own and with no luck, and although he himself never managed to do it but probably heard the theory behind it, Zilzi #2 managed to teach me how to whistle really loud with the two fingers in your mouth. HONESTLY (Tami - you have to believe me) I did NOT know how to do that before. So - Now I know how to whistle
Although we did not eat meat, we ate everything else on the menu (or so it felt) and because the waitress understood its my birthday, we were treated with a special dose of sugar in the form of brown chocolate cake. TASTY
From there we dispersed back to our homes, a bit hungry and thirsty, but happy
On that same day - but in the morning, after the night sleep ....
I woke up and went to meet my sister, Naama. We decided to go and eat a birthday lunch (like I didn't eat enough) in some fancy nice place on the beach in the old port of Tel Aviv. Can't remember the name of the place. Was it "Thelet"?
Anyway, it was nice and sunny. A bit too sunny
AND very windy. The salad we ate flew out of the plates
But it was great. and tasty. We spent some time in the sun and from there moved on to fix my sister's computer
After that I went to Galit's house, my girlfriend (which headache was gone by now) and prepared for tonight. YES you guessed right - more food and drinks
We have tonight a special (fancy again) dinner with Raanan, Keren, Shay, Galit and me.
Galit bought me a web-cam. Strange I know, but I did not have one at the time. Now I know why Raanan asked me if I had a web-cam. Sneaky little rascle 0) So she planned it all along
We rushed to meet the guys/gals on some junction and from there moved to the restaurant (again, forgot the name, but Galit chose it so it has to be good).
Not to forget that Galit came up with this notion that I banged some car that was behind me on the way out from the parking. I was so sure I didn't but with the rush and all I chose to believe her and left a note on the car.
We dined and wined and had great time, although almost everything we asked from the menu ran out. Strange for an expensive restaurant to have that happening. But anyway, the only effect it had was a bit agitating feeling it cause Raanan and some disappointment building up in Galit's stomach for being "guilty" of choosing this place.
However, it is my opinion that the place was really nice. the food was really good and even the service (although missing some food items) was good.
Shay chose a wine for us and we all drank it till the bottle was dry
Came back to find that the note from the car has disappeared. However, weeks later and noone called me. I figure that proves that I didn't bang the car. They probably thought some strange fella annoys them about buying the car and didn't bother to call back...
We went to sleep, very tired and very hungry (just kidding!!), older now by a year
but still younger than I am now when I write this entry
I don't know if I am getting further from the beginning, maturing, growing, aging and getting close to the end, but I do know it can be great fun. I hope it stays that way for the short even I will have
