On Apartment 13, Isaac

I've successfully moved onto the roof, in a blatant act of defiance of the rules (not quite, but we're not supposed to be up there). Getting up and down is really the only downside, as you have to climb through a pretty high window, but if it were any easier, I definitely wouldn't be able to get away with my new home. The place is codenamed Isaac, as it's a pretty common Jewish name ("hey, wanna go to Isaacs?") There were six or eight or seven of us up there last night, hanging out over a session. Good vibes. I'm nowhere near complete with the pad though, I need to get some carpet (I found some for free on Janglo) and I would love to put in a couch up there, although logistically I have no clue how I'd manage to bring one up. It gets hot during the day, and I really can't sleep past nine, but to be completely honesty, I don't want to be sleeping past nine, and I still have my bed in apt. 12 should I ever want to sleep in (or be in a state of mind that prevents me from climbing through a high window).

Aardvark went to the City of David today, a pretty cool tourist hotspot that follows an archaeological dig. The highlight of the trip was a 20 minute walk through an ancient aqueduct way, way underground with water up to our knees at times. The corridor we had to walk through was barely wide enough for one person, low ceiling at times, and pitch black. But the trip was a bit boring as we were force fed information that I got the sense was mostly speculation. Oh well.

And I bought a really awesome hookah today, named Esau.
