I saw my old friend from highschool, Shane Kirshenblatt, at work today. He looks incredible, and we did some catching up. He is one of the most talented artists that I know, and apparently he's publishing graphic novels now!!

I'm picking up my copies at Toronto Comic-Con between April 29th - May 1st, because he'll be showing there. But also remember to see my brother's installation piece at Maxex gallery that weekend!PLUG PLUG PLUG [Help support my starving artist friends!!]

Besides that, I found out that I got on the Birthright trip with Deja, Kirsten, and Sara. For those of you that know me, I never wanted to go on this, but we've done a few things right. *For those of you who don't know, this is a free trip to Israel for Jews 18-26 all over the world.
A) We requested the Young Professionals trip which is for ages 23-26. This means NO 18yr old little jappy girls from Thornhill!
B) We somehow managed to get on a very special trip. Instead of a bus full of Toronto Jews that we know and dread from BBYO, Synagogue, camp, or just plain old Jewish life, we have 10 Cuban Jews coming along, and kids from all across Canada. To new Cuban friends!! Cheers! As long as they don't all defect while we're there, I might have a buddy to stay with in Cuba by the end of it! I hope they speak some English so I can make communist jokes on the flight over.
C) We are all very cool, very strong, very adventurous chicks, and we requested each other.
D) I plan to come back with as much Jesus paraphernalia as possible just to piss off the organizers! (I'll take a dozen thorny crowns, thank you, and throw in some 'I Love the Lord' T-shirts for good measure please.)
So I'll be leaving on May 29th for 'the Holy Land', a place I never wanted to visit and never really cared about. I just need to be off the continent, and this is how I can afford it. Wish me luck on....well....not dying! My mom seems convinced I'll get blown up.
