I haven't posted since ages. I lost a job where I had no chance to get paid for all the overtime I had to do. I took a final exam in English literature, and defended a thesis paper. I helped my mom through a big sickness. (Sometimes I blamed her for getting sick in the first place. I'm pretty sure all people who have to play nurse to other people feel like that sometime or other. There are moments when you're tired of the whole job and the sick person's health and/or mood doesn't seem to improve at all. And then, the person is suddenly healthy, and life is beautiful again.)
I've acquired a virtual pet tiger. He's called Levi, after a friend. Apart from being perhaps the first Jewish tiger in history, he's also famous for munching on meat in a really cute way.
