Well, not exactly productive but I did manage to make something with all my spare time. For Christmas, my parents gave me a nice expensive knife rack and after balking at the price they were asking for a magnetic wall-mounted knife holder, I figured I could do one better and make one. Here are my knifes, arranged in all their cute glory:

Ahem... so I had this weird white spot on the back of my throat that didn't hurt and I didn't have a fever or anything but it looked bad enough for me to go to the clinic. The doctor there said it was fungal and gave me some stuff. Out of laziness and distrust for "the man" I have not yet filled out the prescription. But the spot was getting bigger ( Read more... )

Idit has left to Haifa for the day and I am all alone in Tel-Aviv in Aroma Cafe (the Israeli equivalent of Starbucks)! Boo hoo! But really, I am fine. In fact, I have been nothing but fine for a couple weeks now and it's almost at the point of weirding me out. I've just felt very Zen and calm in the midst of what should be life-changing events and ( Read more... )

Hooray for Easter Sunday. Easter egg hunt in the Eucalyptus Grove on campus with Tequilla and rum in plastic eggs as hidden by the beautiful Lola. We may have left a few in the forest if you want to go searching. The rule is: find an egg, drink it or force someone else to take it (sort of like that other forest game, Wild Mushroom). Picnic on ( Read more... )

My weekend: Rockstar. Hallucinogens during the day and stimulants at night. Dancing throughout (with occasional breaks to sleep). Creating looser ties with new people and stronger ties with old. Traveling is awesome.

Current downers: Tyler breaking his wrist. He's usually so bouncy and now he's in a lot of pain and sort of unhappy. Not fun to see. ( Read more... )

Damn you Vampire Weekend for hijacking my brain! With lyrics like 'First the window, then it's to the wall. Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth' are making me smile more than they really should.

Anyway they've got a clean, somewhat Caribbean (West African?) sound and undeniably catchy tunes. This is them bouncing around in spastic United Colors of ( Read more... )

I finally understand viscerally what straight girls see in the gay club. Dancing with no commitment with a dozen attractive girls, both friend and stranger. The music flows by like anerobic thirty-five millimeter film. It pulls my puppet strings in enjoyment. Falling asleep drunkenly in the taxi ride home I think, "These are the best moments to be

I am drowning in a sea of yarn! It tried to eat my shoes this morning! Send an organizational team to my apartment!
