This is so absurd that I actually laughed when I saw this reported: six months ago one of the IDF Commander's security officers attempted to rape a girl on the night of his bachelor party. Attempted only because eventually bystanders heard her screams and ran to the riverbank where he was holding her down and pulled him off of her; he attempted to ( Read more... )

Can somebody please save me from this icon binge from hell? I spent years being perfectly content with my 6 LJ icons, I've spent at least a month with only 15/100 DW icon slots filled, and suddenly I've started looking up icons and saving them and it never stops and I will never have enough slots for what I want and I will also, to be honest, never ( Read more... )

1. Tomorrow morning I shall set sail flight for fair Verona, where we lay our scene, hang out there for like an hour and then take a bus to the ski site where we will pass the week \o/ We will be Dad, my sisters, and one of my absolutely best friends, who is abandoning me doe Johns Hopkins at the end of the year (\o/! /o\! I can't decide!) so I ( Read more... )

As I finish writing up some leftover posts that I'd, um, meant to write, a short interlude about current Israeli TV:

Not ONE day after my big "I am beginning to exercise" post and I am skipping a workout already :( I blame this on Eitan Fox's new 4-part musical miniseries "Always the Same Dream", otherwise known as:

Yesterday was the Kochav Nolad final. I watched. And flailed. (Temporarily unlocking the post, will re-lock tomorrow.) And was disappointed.

Just now I watched the season premier of the Israeli Wife Swap, where the two families participating were a secular family from a kibbutz up north, and a male gay Reform couple from New Jersey. Israel!Mom ( Read more... )

The extent to which I've done nothing today is delicious and amazing. I fell asleep after 33 hours (or so, but WHO'S COUNTING) of being awake around 10PM last night, slept till 10AM this morning, finished watching I Love You, Man on my iPod and then fell back asleep till 2PM. (I Love You, Man was not as funny as I hoped it'd be, and full, full, ( Read more... )

I had an exam this noon, which was weird: I was 30 minutes late (my fault, don't ask), the prof smiled at me like he actually knew who I was (also weird; he's one of the faculty hotshots), I wrote one good answer and one horrifyingly crappy answer to which I tacked on a joke at the end, figuring that the answer can't possibly get any worse and that ( Read more... )

OMG, this is what American Idol RPF fandom has done to me: I now want to slash contestants of Kochav Nolad together. I FEEL SO VERY, VERY WRONG. ONE OF THESE GUYS IS A FRIEND OF MINE'S COUSIN. Seriously, it makes me feel dirty :-(

however, if any of you want to discuss these hypothetical pairings with me -- or even just the similarities between AI ( Read more... )

Kochav Nolad on channel 2, Maccabiah Games opening ceremony on channel 2, Kings and True Blood and the pilot of Leverage on my laptop, OVERLOAD. Also I want to write up about the thingy with the head director of Lost, which was interesting despite me not asking a question in the end :-( Most importantly, though, I really need to sleep -- I've been ( Read more... )
