Hello there.

For Yom HaShoah I actually had this whole outburst of emotion, that I put as a note on Facebook instead of here, so more people could see it.  For those who didn't see it (and are fb friends with me), it can be seen here.

For Yom HaZikaron, I also have some thoughts going on, tho less intense.  Could be because it's earlier in the day ( Read more... )

... when you check the news to see if any tragedies have happened over Shabbat and are relieved to see that "nothing" has happened.  "Nothing" meaning about 100 missiles have been shot at Israel over the weekend, but.... that's normal, right?

Today in International Law class, the prof emphasized the point that democracies (and specifically Israel) pay for human rights in blood.  He went on in semi graphic detail of children being blown up on an almost daily basis during the second intifada and how we could have ended the intifada by telling Palestinians they must stay in their homes and ( Read more... )

Hi.  I'm sick.  I've got a cold and my flatmate's not here to take care of me.  I skipped both class and work today which I think was a good move.  My face is completely and utterly clogged tho it seems to be localized in my face now.  Hopefully it will stay there and not spread to my lungs or anything.  So yeah ( Read more... )

I am in the middle of reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Housseni.  By "middle" I mean just about halfway thru.  And by "of reading" I mean I am not sure as to whether I will actually finish reading it since while it is very addictive with a cliffhanger at the end of every single chapter, the reason I haven't touched it in a couple days is ( Read more... )

Good morning Livejournal!  Happy Sunday!

What's up?  Anyway, this past weekend, iggylani  and I had the zchut of meeting tamzette  in real life.  Finally!  After she's met like all of my real life friends, ya know it oughta be time we meet in real life.  So yeah, it was super exciting.  Also, I want people to read/use LJ more.  Slowly less and less of you are using ( Read more... )

So...

The phone that I got 3 months ago... well, it's not as cool as I originally thought it was.  That plus the zoom on the camera never worked.  And the camera would freeze the phone sometimes, meaning I'd have to take the battery out and restart it to make it work.  That and the phone sometimes just turned off randomly.  קיצור, Samsung sucks.  I ( Read more... )

So I was watching the pan-Arab version of Star Academy, and there was one point where these people were singing "I Gotta Feeling"  by the Black Eyed Peas.  And guess what?  They edited out the "mazal tov" and "l'chaim" parts!  Umm.. What?  Do you really hate Israel THAT MUCH that you have to do that?  Also do they not realize that like half of ( Read more... )

It's unfortunate that it's not culturally appropriate for guys to wear skirts/dresses.  There's nothing like wearing a loose fitting knee length skirt on the hottest days of summer.  A lot breezier than the pants I was wearing yesterday.
