In less than 12 hours I'll be getting on a plane. 9 hours later I'll set foot in the place where I am always welcome, by the nature of my birth right. Israel. I suspect this will be an eye-opening experience. Along with temples, hikes, museums, archeological digs and nights in the desert, we'll undoubtably be force-fed some Zionist rhetoric ( Read more... )

I think i want to move to Holland or one other of a handful of countries that have legalized the practice of euthanasia.

The community definitely helps me expand my horizons a ( Read more... )

If you are a fan of The Matrix or anime, or can't wait for The Matrix Reloaded to come out, run, don't walk to Into the Matrix and watch the 4 shorts that are available free. They all take place in the Matrix universe and help fill out the story, not like it needed any help in the first place. Pay special attention to "The Second Renaissance" ( Read more... )

I am still around. Nothing that I feel like writing about though. I hope it isn't the same LJ-apathy that I felt last year after which i disappeared for 6 months.

Finished Bonfire of the Vanities and picked up Jennifer Government. Went to the library for it. It's entirely too short of a book for me to invest $19.95 in a hardcover version, ( Read more... )
