A Peek into a Mind

I’ve woke up half an hour ago and I got a full day ahead of me. Just felt lke dropping a word on the past 48 hours and the last week in general. Terrorism, indeed, never rest, but the past 48 hours it had too many successful attacks. 10 suicide bombers in Morocco (againts Jewish targets, 41 dead – 100 wounded – none jewish as much as I know), the usual saturday evening attack in Hebron (a wife and a husband killed), 2 terrorists caught trying to penetrate Shaarey Tikva at midnight, 2 suicide bombers this morning in Jerusalem, add to this the huge attack in Riyadh the past week and here you go. And I bet I missed some small incedents as well.

Now, it’s not that surprising since I know at least the palestinians try several times a day to execute attacks. The only thing that prevents these endless waves of terrorism is the hard work of our army.

The world terrorism, on the other hand, is much more successful. Since the battlefield of this terrorism is the whole world, and there is no serious attempt to fight it (each country to itself – it’s like each city in Israel will try to protect itself alone) it will keep going strong.

I’m not going to count dead now, maybe later. The last attack (in the Givaa HaZarfatit in Jerusalem) had already cost 7 lives, 20 wounded, out of which 4 are critical. Hmm… Abu Mazen, I think some of your people are giving you the finger!

Anyway, I’ll be off now. Still have o take Leonardo to the vet. The past weekend he drove all of the area nuts with his endless barking. My mom thinks maybe he got a physical problem, in addition to being a totally wacko dog in the first place. Then I’ll drop by Ace to buy a fan for Yonit and I’m off to my flat in Jeruslem. Got an assignment to hand tomorrow, gotta sit on it.

I’m waiting for Ariel to arrive to Ashkelon and call me, so we could meet to discuss the TV show I’m working on. Since it’s really hot and my mind is in advanced melting process, I’d thought of linking to some snips of the net. Something I haven’t done in a long time.

I’ve finally got a current picture of Hila. She’s a very close friend that moved to the US and married. I haven’t seen her in a couple of years but we’re contact through the net. Was very happy to get the picture…

It took time, most of the net was waiting for him, and finally – Salam Pax is back. Well, sort of – he contacted Diana and sent her a word document which she copyed to his blog. It’s a long post, but then again – he was offline for much longer.

Don’t miss it – Check it out.

(Thanks to viv, who sent me an sms about this yesterday. This is one SMS I was hoping to accept for a long time now…)

10:20am I’ve arrived home from Jerusalem an hour ago. Mishael, my young cousin, have arrived here at 7am and went to sleep. Sagit, another cousin, have arrived 20 minutes ago from Ashdod bringing my grandmather, 2 of my aunts and another cousin (Ravit). We’re currently 10 people and it’s going to grow in the coming hours. As every year, I’m going to broadcast the whole Bar-B-Q event. Don’t know who’s gonna see it, but it’s going to be a about 4-5 hours live broadcast (well, if live means a picture every 40 seconds, while Ravit is trying to point the cam away and I try to fix it all the time…)

Feel free to send me text messages, I’ll do my best to answer and comment back as soon as I’ll get them. Or I’ll send Mishael to do that if I’ll be too busy making the food.

11:46 am I’ve been working on the 2 grills so far, got the heat up and all. It’s a hot day and being in charge of the grills, where the heat is even worse, is just plain the worst job in the Bar-B-Q thing. Ho well, at least I can make sure the food is tasty by keep eating it… Wanna bet who’s going to eat the most?

Anyway, my friend Nir is also suppose to come, as well as my cousin Iris and her boyfriend. Appearantly my cousin Igal took his family to Eilat, so we’re 5 people less then expected, but I’m sure the rest of us will have no trouble handling the extra food…

It’s so sunny and fun outside!

I’ve came back from the army reserve at Wednesday evening, after a 4-5 hours drive from the north. I went to sleep right away and only woke up the next day at 11am or so. I slept for 14-15 hours straight, didn’t even wake up when my mom called me to eat. Oh well.

Thursday passed in a flash. I mostly ate, relaxed and took care of all the computer related stuff (had about 20 or so emails I had to answer immediately, after weeding them from the 296 junk-emails). I also borrowed Nir’s scanner and started scanning pictures I took in the Milueem:
