While anyone hockey-inclined probably read that title as a typo of some sorts relating to Jonathan Toews - my fingers actually automatically typed 'toews', which surprises no one - I am, in fact, talking about my actual toes!

I have spent the past 9 days traipsing around London and Edinburgh (with the awesome sabra_n in a pair of boots, which I thought ( Read more... )

News: Here is a story from this week. An IDF soldier was sentenced to 11 days of military jail this week and suspended from his command course for... eating a bacon sandwich. To make the context even worse, this is an American soldier who made aliyah so he could serve in the army, and was living with his grandmother at a kibbutz where she made him ( Read more... )

Seriously, HALLELUJAH, I am actually reading a book for reaaaaaaal this is so exciting. I started Uprooted over the weekend, and I have definitely reached 'hooked' (='dammit-this-will-make-me-late-for-work') status ( Read more... )

Well, the half-week-long storm is over -- I wore a t-shirt again today, and I fear this will be the last rain we will see this year.

I've finished The Hunger Games so I'll just get my very minor reactions for the third book out of the way: ( major spoilers )

I'm 22% through the third book now. I knew nothing about these books except the concept, which

I haven't watched SPN since the beginning of the season, but hearing that this week's episode was about one of my favorite tropes ever (episode trailer here) I had to watch Friday's episode, and I don't think I've laughed out loud so many times in a TV show for a loooong time. "Season 6" pretty much says it all, but nevertheless, go show. I don't ( Read more... )

I have Unseen Academicals! Hardcover, American cover (always, always uglier than the British), and only 399 pages long :(:(:( It has now automatically been bumped to the top of my books to read, once I start reading books again, and I don't know whether to be happy or cry ( Read more... )
