Nice boring, feel-good musical movie...
King's paw-prints arrived in the mail today. I am not going to open the package. I am not a sentimental person, anymore. I don't see much difference between sentimental and guilty people. They are both living superstitiously, after the fact. During the moment, they are all shifty and not there. I am happy that my dog came back in my dreams. I think the only thing that would make me happy here would be if my dog had made it here. But he didn't, because some idiots took it on themselves to make him sicker by feeding him and walking him off-schedule. Guilty people. Very guilty people.
My headache was too deep and entrenched to allow me to get anything done today. So, no downtown, no mailing, no work on van, etc. Maybe tomorrow. So far, no rain lined up by the rain people. But, you never know, they might start dancing.
This is a very boring place - which is good if you need sleep - and can get it, despite unneighbourly neighbours. (Aren't they a little like Army Guy? "We can do whatever we want, in spite of you! [BECAUSE of you!]" Well, with no life here, what can one expect, I expect. They should be shipping in Jihad any day now, so that could liven things up. But nothing beats spicing up a boring Midwestern town than a bunch of antsy Jews, I always say.
The state of Israel was an Ashkenazi project - a project of Europe and European Jews, who are genetically a little different to Sephardic Jews. The later don't want this war, and most of them didn't want an Israeli state, to begin with. One Euro-Jew, Albert of Einstein, wisely predicted that if you plop down a new country - religiously oppositional to what has grown up in that region in the last 1000 years - right on top of the land of the Philistines - then there are going to be problems down the road, and then problems down the road, and then more problems down the road. But, today, Netanyahoo, Harari, and most other Jews who rule Israel are the Euro Ashkenazis, and they believe they have a right to have their piece of Europe out in the desert. Granted, the Palestinians aren't really a racially precise bunch, to begin with - they actually are a motley crew. And some of them aren't even Arabish. But, they all act like they are. Because its some kind of rigged game going on. Some kind of symbiotic slow-suicidal pact.
Here is another Ashkenazi, Israeli project, plopped down in the middle of Iowa. It reminds me a lot of this place, mostly in that there is nothing happening here, but the film manages to turn that into somewhat pleasant, high drama, yest still ringing true as a bell with boredom. It's by a guy named Askenazi, working with an Israeli film grant, and Iowa. Two of the three main actresses are Israeli. And one is a cute Broadway actress and singer with a great, "Little Mermaid," voice. Interestingly, the film is so true, that's also what she is in the movie.
So, you've got a train. A McDonalds. A college. Goofball idiots who think the most exciting thing is to make strange poses with their bodies. And the whole theme of the movie is about whether or not to stay in this very boring town. It's a nice movie, but it took a night of L'Chayem Jewish disco to finally liven it up - kind of like the all-night-party scenes from, "Lost In Translation."
Like I said, it sometimes takes a few antsy Jews. Or Japs. Off on some cultural escapade. This land was made for you and me.
