I feel betrayed. The weather report said it would be 80 today. It definetly got up to 93 today. The forecast for the rest of the week maxes out at 80 but I find that hard to believe.

It's as if everyone simultaneously got abducted by aliens. No Livejournal posts, nothing on opium, I haven't even gotten an email for the last 24 hours.

Is anyone out there?

I finally cleaned out my Brandeis inbox for the first time since maybe February. I went from 54 pages of emails down to 6. I'm sure the deis servers love me except not really because my usave is probably an impercievable dent as far as the big picture goes. I got back from the grandparents' house. They were remarkably well behaved which was ( Read more... )

I'm going to the grandparents' house. I have to leave in about 15 minutes to get a cab to the train station. I feel bad not wanting to go see them at all but they live far away which means that I have to go and spend the night. This being Israel, if I go somewhere on friday afternoon I have to stay until Saturday night because the religious right ( Read more... )

Lately I've been realizing that other people have actual, legitimate problems and I am not one of them. I may have papers to write and places I need to go that I don't really feel like going, I may love a boy who doesn't love me back. But when push comes to shove, I have the free time to just loaf in my bed reading a book. I'm healthy, as are my ( Read more... )

Aside from taking the trash out and going out to wash my bathroom rug and my beach sheet I pretty much haven't left the apartment all day. I was supposed to go on an academic tour (field trip) which was set to leave at 6am but I was up al night trying and failing to breathe through my nose, I believe that shit warmed over might be an appropriate ( Read more... )

I forgot to say that Eliya and I met with the woman in charge of the dorms here (the Haifa Maggie Balch if you will) earlier today regarding the problems with the crazy roommate. Turns out that she had been offered two different rooms if graduate student apartments. She regected one because the flatmates are smokers and the other because it was ( Read more... )

Happy Lab Ba'Omer to everone. Chris if you read this, we did not just make up this holiday to get a day off school. Actually we don't get off school for this one, it's not like shmimini yimini though that's a real holiday and only the name ytou came up with for it is made up ( Read more... )

So this girl who lives in my apartment officially wins the title of worst roommate EVER. She is a passive aggressive hostile bitch. The other day Liz saw her packing up some mugs in a box and she dragged two huge bags of garbage out of here. We started to speculate that maybe she was planning on moving out early since it's only about a 45 minute ( Read more... )

Last night I was getting ready to go out to dinner when grandma called

Grandma: What are you doing?
Noy: Getting ready to go out with a friend (masculine implied in Hebrew)
G: You have a friend?
N: Yes, just a friend
G: Is he Jewish?
