Like a Good Book

Haven't written in a while, so I'll start from today and go backwards.

( Today, pretty boring )

( Yesterday )

( The beginning of the week )

( Last weekend )

I think that's all.

( My plans changes yesterday )

( Plans for today and tomorrow )

Only 50 days until the book, and only a month until we go to England!!! We really should sit on the trip, I guess, matbe make sure we have insegnificant things like hotels booked... :)

It took me quite a while on Friday to make up my mind on where to go. I was bouncing in and out of will to get dressed and go out, not to mention I had no one to come with me. At the end I pulled myself out of the couch, got dressed and went out. I didn't really know where I was going, so I just started driving and ended up at Seven Stars Mall in Hertzlia. Walked around the mall (which was packed with people) for some time before I headed back to the car. Didn't really do anything - but I needed the outing and I needed to drive. Fooled around with the idea of going to Mazarin for Macaroon cookies but gave up when I could find no parking place near it. Headed home, feeling "half", like I hadn't really achieved what I intended on doing when I left the house, but I was still glad I went - I would have felt worse if I didn't.

Spent the evening with Navot - having a Shrek-marathon. We laughed our heads off at the movies, even though it took us quite a while to get the DVD working (it was actually PlayStation but who cares).

On Saturday morning I was delighted to find my SoulSeek had downloaded some more of Rachael Sage's music, so I went to have some pancakes with a good mood... Which reduced to hear that my uncle and cousin were coming to visit that morning (look, they're family, and I like my cousin, but my uncle is a blabber-mouth and a very "American" person, which annoys me greatly. Plus - hello!? It's Saturday morning! I wanted to rest...). After they left we had almost no time to get organized to go to my grandma for lunch, where we met my other aunt and uncle and cousin (whom I love very dearly). Spent the evening at home.

Yesterday was work, but at the evening I met Tal, my cousin from Saturday morning and we went to "Max Brenner". We made this plan on Saturday when she said she had never gone there (she's been here almost six months and is going back home to L.A. in two weeks). Michali and Eyal joined us a bit later, when we were already at he half point of stuffing our faces with chocolate and we had a lovely time. When we finished we went outside and Eyal said he wanted pizza (both he and Michali had nothing to eat, they just drank) so I joined in (yes, I know, calories...). Drove home to find the place empty - my parents went out and I forgot about it. I wasn't very tired so I put on the episode of "The 4400" I taped earlier that evening. Was quite creepy, to tell you the truth, but it was a good episode. I only went to bed about 10 minutes before my parents arrived.

After a quick check this morning on the computer I found that "House MD", "Gilmore girls" and "Veronica Mars" has all fully downloaded. Will watch them all tonight.

Went to see "The Departed" last night with my dad - was a good movie, really good actors, directing and screenplay, but the ending was... Pointless, it seemed. Oh, well. I had fun anyway.

Friday morning was spent on the sofa. I had back pains (already wrote about it). It was a complete waste of a day. Did absolutely nothing.

On Saturday morning I woke up feeling a lot better And was drawn into the frenzy of organizing and cooking for lunch. My mom mentioned my aunt bringing shrimp and calamari salad, which made me super happy, until she arrived. The salad had tomatoes in it. I detest tomatoes. I had none of it, and my dad said something that annoyed the hell out of me, so I said "You aren't cheering me, you just make yourself look good." He gave up, and I returned to my misery from Friday (which grew heavily from seeing my sister rushing out to buy Udi a present. My mom understood, and asked if I was angry at her, and I said yes. Sorry, if my birthday was in May, Michali's and Udi's in September and December and they already got their presents it annoys me. I always remind everyone to get the presents - I don't need to get my own present on my own They need to go buy it. So, bitterly I resumed the cooking, feeling claustrophobic as the people filled our house. I was my unusual-self during lunch, almost no talking and being thoughtful. I escaped to my room a few times, needing the fresh air, only to discover My cousin took over the room to talk on the phone. I hated that, but couldn't tell him to get out. It took him about 45 minutes to get off the phone and get out of my room, all that while I was nervous and edgy. After that I calmed a bit, sitting in my room for a little while when my cousin's wife started looking for a place to change their son's diaper. Luckily for me, they gave up on doing it in my room. When everyone left I felt better, and at night I watched "Priscilla, queen of the desert" with my dad. I love that movie ("Ever, ever, ever, ever!"). This morning I got the car, and even got to park in the newspaper's parking lot. I was planning on taking myself to a movie after work, but talking to my mom I found she needs the car to take the new router from the shop. I was again, quite bummed. I guess I'm going to stay annoyed for some time now, unless someone decides to make me happier. Or I will.

On Friday I worked until 11:00, and then went to pick up Udi from the train station. His hair grew a bit, and his hands are completely chapped, with blood on them... It took my mom a long time to convince him to use ointment to try and heal it. He said it would get him out of kitchen-duty...

After dropping Udi and his friends off at home I headed to the sale held by Yediot-books, since they're moving their warehouse. I walked around picking books, and managed to limit myself to four books. After 40 minutes of standing in line I had six books... Well, it was fun. I bought a cooking book and five other novels (two of them I've already read during the weekend... Fun!).

Michali and Eyal came for lunch on Friday, and afterwords everyone took off, leaving me alone at home with one sleeping Udi. I watched a bit of television, read a bit and fell asleep on the sofa 'till 1:00 a.m., when I dragged myself to bed.

On Saturday morning I woke at 10:00, feeling quite refreshed. My mom made pancakes and I sat down to read some more. Michali and Eyal came over again for Chulnt (yuck, but it's Udi's favorite). I made herb salad again (without pine nuts - we had none) and salmon with asian sauce. Had a great lunch. Spent most of my afternoon reading and listening to music. When the evening drew, I mentioned to my mom she promissed sufganiot, and she said she was too tired. A few puppy faces, a walk with the dogs and clearing up the dish-washer managed to persuade her... Me and my dad watched "The truth about cats and dogs" and "Pirates of the carribeans" (in which I fell asleep half-way through). I went to bed at 00:00.

My birds paper is still not finished, nor did I start studying for Immunology. Big fat bad.

Hagar, this morning (she brought the rest of my truffles to the lab):"You'd think I keeping Heroin in the fridge, not chocolate by the way people run after it..."

Me: "Yes, I am planning world domination with the truffles"

Hagar: "why?"

Me: "World peace!"

Hagar: "Why would you want world peace? It's boring...

I'm going to see a movie with Avihu today, the new Almodovar movie, I've been wanting to see it since it came out, so yey for me.

"Though we love men individually, we admit that as a group they're rather stupid"

I got that quote from the last place I ever thought I would... Does anyone knows where it's from?

Edit: Since no one took the slightest notice (*pouts*) I'll tell you (But you probably don't care anyway) - it's from "Marry Poppins"...

At least I thought it was funny...

( Why I love movies )

I'm still studying. Have had a test today and it went horribly - but I knew it. I had no time and I ended up giving up and not going over about half of what we learned in class. I'm expecting a second time of doing it...

Lorelay and Luke from "Gilmore Girls" kissed on the last episode played here. It was like - Luke moves in for the kiss, Lorelay flinches back and he says "Would you just stand still?"... God, I love it... So love it!
