Cute Boy Syndrome
Since I got back from Egypt I have been working lettuce fields (chasa) which has been so amazing. My old job at the Miznon, which is the Yotvata Restaurant, was fun because they had really nice people working and I got to practice my hebrew on a daily basis, but Chasa (lettuce) is way better. Chasa is in a giant green house in the middle of the ( Read more... ) -
Roslyn Shulte
Today, 05.21.2009, Lt. Roslyn Schulte died. She was my cousin’s girlfriend, and he was going to propose to when she got back from deployment this August. Today she was killed in a car bombing in Afghanistan. Everyone in my family felt your pain today, we will always remember you. Rest in peace Lt. Roslyn Schulte. There was an article in the paper ( Read more... ) -
Yotvata update
Time goes by so fast here. I’ve been here on Yotvata for 3 weeks this Sunday and on one hand it feels like ages but on the other it feels like only 1 week. The day by day Yotvata play: Sleep, Eat, Work, Shit, Eat, Nap, Eat, Drink, Go to Bed. It’s the same every day. A lot of volunteers gain a lot of pounds (but everyone else says kilos... silly ( Read more... ) -
Dexter is fucking amazing
I have to start off by saying that Dexter is possibly the most amazing show ever... and if not THE most amazing, then for sure up there in my top 5. I am kind of in love, and still 4 episodes left of season one ( Read more... ) -
Boys are stupid -- בנים טיפשים
They never call when they say they will, they yell at your from street corners in Russian when they don't even know you.... So get this: Shira and I were sitting on a bench on a street corner in Rishon waiting for one of her friends when this car of russians pulls up and they start honking their horn at us and yelling at us in Russian. We ignore ( Read more... ) -
Tel Aviv's 100th Birthday
So I've been in Israel for a week and my hebrew is still pretty garbage, but it's getting a little better bit by bit. Yesterday was Tel Aviv's 100th birthday so I met up with some of Sam's American friends and spent the day on the beach. I met up with Shira and we had beer and Ice cream, what a combination. There were crazy resturaunts on the beach ( Read more... ) -
First few hours of Israel
I landed in Israel, happy as a clam because of my awesome flight. Customs was a mess, and then the taxi driver I had spoke half english half not, and I spoke half of half hebrew... and the GPS system he had couldn't find my friend's appartment address! But with our language powers combined, we finally made it $41 later. Just took a shower and ( Read more... ) -
My Entire Weekend 03.26.09-03.30.09
Stay in New Jersey was great. Sick as a dog but I wouldn’t let that bother me. I got to see my Zayda a good number of times and hang out with my Aunt, Uncle and Cousins. They got a purebred shitzu, the absolute most sweetest thing ever! His name is Prince and he is the funniest character. He likes to sleep upside-down with all four paws in the air ( Read more... ) -
Well it's about time
I leave for Israel soon, arrive on March 31st! I've been planning this for over a year and finally, finally it's about to happen. The only problem is, I wish I could hit pause on Seattle and return to an unchanged city... So much is going to happen while I'm gone and I feel like I'm missing it all. I guess the same would apply if I go out of state ( Read more... )
