It took me five minutes to stop laughing

When I saw what "NILI" (a company we work with) sent me as a gift for the holidays.

It's a flash light, but it has a handle for manual use - meaning, I push it and it turns a small generator inside and I get environment-friendly-light. It also has a battery, but the handle just threw me to the floor, I was laughing so hard.

Yeah, it's been a good morning, even though I woke up with a headache (two optalgins got rid of that, at least for now).

The Perach job needs some logistics coordination - I have a three day seminar next week, so I need to get someone to replace me at work, and the week after that I need the mornings of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday free to go start with the school I'll have. I wouldn't care much if Lily was here, but since she's still at home it'll need to be done exactly right - making sure I have a substitute and making sure the days I'll be here only half a day would not make Racheli crazy.

Still, it's worth the trouble. Having this job means i'll be able to pay for my tuition without help from my parents and still have some spending money. Plus - it's good for the resume and I can go up the level the next three years.

Yes, have I mentioned I'm really happy about this? :)

Tidbits

Went to the TA museum of Art yesterday with Mel. Had a lot of fun walking around some of the exhibitions - especially the "One Family" photograph exhibition and the contemporary Italian art one. The impressionist constant exhibition was very beautiful as well, and I loved some of the cubist stuff Mel didn't. We both loved Jackson Pollock's paintings, and the Chagall paintings as well. We spent about two hours there and after that we went to "Cup o' Joe" across the street for a sandwich and diet coke (which made Mel go "I'm at "Joe" and I don't get coffee?!"). We walked back to Begin road and I caught the bus as Mel went over to the train station.

I'm finally writing "Gold Dust", the HDM fic I've been thinking of for so long. It's only the beginning, but it's coming on nicely, and I hope It'll be in a condition good enough for others' reading in a while.

I hope I'll have some time to go buy myself something new to wear on New year's eve, but my hopes are not high. Oh, well. We are the hosts this year, since my grandma doesn't have the strength to make the entire preparations. I'm planning on making wine-punch to make everybody extra-cheery.

I also had a dream last night which drew power from all sorts of stuff - starting with HP and ending with "Kyle XY" which I watched last night - a beautiful beach with dunes on a cliff, me trying to hide myself and some objects and a feeling of peace. Hmmm.

T.V. annoyance - Two episodes of "The Dead Zone" got to 99% and got stuck there... It's been there for three days, and I haven't been able to find another torrent to download them from. ARGH.
