Our dog died yesterday. Mentally composing and rewriting posts about it has been part of my processing this over the past day, but while I announced it on twitter to get some immediate release yesterday, and wrote it on Facebook so that the extended family know and so people at work don't ask me how my weekend was tomorrow, actually writing ( Read more... )

Yes, it is time to admit it. I have not actually been posting December entries at 11:59PM each night, but have, in fact, been backdating entries posted a full 30-60 minutes later. Or in today's case, 6AM. Let's face it, there's virtually no way for me to actually manage posting coherent things by midnight, so I'm just going to post whenever I post ( Read more... )

OKAY. I think it is time to make an actual post that is not just whining. SO. I will talk about three things and they will be, in the following order, (a) clone!Spencer, (b) fun., and (c) cows.

It has been a wonderfully calming weekend*, and so: photodump of stuff I've taken since May, in chronological order. Including: nature, mildly urban natury stuff, holidays and family, baby fruits growing on trees, and the Tel Aviv Pride Parade beach party.

The winds are strong enough to make the dog want constant reassurance, and the storm warnings were ( Read more... )

Let's say a grasshopper* just rains down from the sky and lands on the floor outside, and it's fluttering to itself and crawling around but not flying anywhere.

And it keeps trying to ( Read more... )

For some reason the TAU website won't open for me so I can't check my class schedule for tomorrow D: New semester, and I... think my first class is at noon? Will have to check again tomorrow morning and hope I'm right. (If anyone who can read Hebrew feels like checking it for me to see if it works, lemme know...)

Meanwhile I'm trying to write my

The train home today was full of people either carrying suitcases because they were flying abroad for the holiday (grrrr want), or carrying flowers and gift baskets and large potted plants, on their way to relatives. ( Woohoo, photo. )
