From the Onion:

Israeli Prime Minister: 'One More Suicide Bombing And I'll Give Them Whatever They Want'

well

i graduated from Drisha last night (beit midrash program)

it was nice, if a little sad.

so many people are moving on for real, across the country and up the coast.  feels like i didn't have enough time with them.

it' funny - i've only known most of them for about 7/8 months, but i really like them and will miss them.

4:20

i'm up and i'm sick and i do'nt know if i'm going to school tomorrow - not only is it my second to last day, i have a class presentation that i've been working my butt off for, and i'm a little annoyed about that.

college is going well although i have a ridiculous amount of work to do by sunday.

thank god there's blind date to keep me occupied in the middle of the night...

The Cute

My nephew turned 3 on Sunday

When he was at our apartment the week before, his grandparents gave him a gift and a card, and we prompted him to say thank you

He ignored us, so we prompted him again

He wandered off and around the room, then said (to himself) "This is SO NICE!"

All the adults collapsed laughing

Dark Red Sentra from Connecticut

If you were the woman who was driving that dark red car, I have this to say to you -

the road does not belong to you.  When there is a stopped vehicle in front of the people in the right lane and they move to switch to the left lane to get around it, you should keep driving at the same speed you were beforehand.  Speeding up to block them off at the last second, thereby ensuring that they will have to come to a very hard stop 2 feet from the back of the non-moving bus (assuming evereyone's brakes are as good as ours, otherwise the car would have stopped *in* the bus) is not just an asshole move, but ridiculously dangerous.  And not just for the people who you cut off - when the choice is between the non-moving very big bus in front  of us and your little car, where do you think we'd rather take the impact?  Slamming on yoru brakes at the last second and honking at us as if you had the intention to let us in all along does not change the fact that you almost killed us.

So thank you for letting us know that some people would rather speed down a city street to cut us off when we're way ahead of you than just let traffic move.  Thank you for almost killing us this morning, and thank you for acting like we did something wrong.  I hope you hit a tree.

And on a serious note, thank GOD Avraham is a good driver.

7 weeks

until the weddings.  met with a dressmaker on weds, bought fabric on friday, am dropping off fabric on monday and getting measured, and hope to have the dress in 3-4 weeks.

which is about when charlotte is getting married and i have nothing to wear.

yay.

anyone want to finance a shopping spree for me?  : )

the laptop is dead. long live the laptop

my wonderful little buddy has finally kicked the bucket.  in that way where the AC adapter socket has melted and will not charge anymore - 3rd time it's happened.  we're going to see if there's anything that can be done for it, but in the meantime -

we'd like to welcome to the family our new wonderful and mighty desktop.  hello, love!  we couldn't afford you, but we couldn't afford not to get you. shmushy cute - cheeky monkey.

3 more weeks til drisha's over, and about 8 weeks til ESC is over.  yay for goodness and school eventually being over.  well, the semester at least.  OVERWORKED!  but loving it.

i mut finish my paper for American Cinema  - writing about Jmmy Stewart.  love the man, love his movies.
