They're playing Fever Ray during this examination scene on CSI: New York.
What.

A British commenter on Language Log just used the word "shockumentary" when talking about some episodes of Horizon. HILARIOUS.
Also, tonight is trivia night and last week was an Elizabeth sleep over night, so I think I forgot to mention that we tied for first place (and then lost the tie breaker and got second place) last week after getting only 2 points on the first round (out of 14 or 15). We won $70 and a lifetime of happiness. Also, Shane cheated on one question for us. It was about legal food temperature. But if the man bringing you drinks and food wants to cheat for you, you don't ever say 'no'. There was some drama, too, because Billy had only given us 11 points on the final round, instead of 20, so after he announced the winners and their scores we had to go up and be all like "bitch, please".
I found my i-pod cable. I hadn't seen it since the move and my i-pod ran out of juice today. I figured I would have put it somewhere easy to find because it's important, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Turns out I put it in the one place for things that are SUPER important. It was in my backpack, traveling everywhere I went with me every minute of every day.

Woke up this morning feeling like I had knocked back a couple shots of lighter fluid that had somehow gotten ignited on the way down. Now am drinking warm, reconstituted dry milk with sugar. Still have terrible heartburn, too bad they don't sell tums in the vending machine. I have to teach like this? May wear snuggie, since my fluids are all depleted and I have chills. May call Dr. Van Helsing. I hereby file my official request to have my birthday moved back one day.
I was supposed to get yummy dinner and birthday flan :( :( :( I don't think that will be a possibility anymore :( :( :(
Maybe when I get home I will see if I can settle in to my misery with Doctor Detroit.

Pine mouth is 90% gone. It has lasted 5 or 6 days but I predict that tomorrow I will taste no bitterness. I learned a lot about myself. For instance: bread, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives are all I need to be happy. Also: if those things are all I eat, I don't ever feel gross after eating. It's magic!

Epic Muhammad Movie in Pipeline. This is such a good idea. Do you know what one of the most blasphemous and sacrilegious things you can do in Islam is? Depict the prophet Muhammad in a picture. Double that if you're depicting him in a film. That's like, making a porno of Jesus double-teaming his mom with John the Baptist and sending an advance copy to the Vatican. In 1500. This will not "bridge cultures." This will have some hothead issue a fatwa against Barrie Osborne and he can hang out with Salman Rushdie.

This is a T-Shirt design I am working on. The font will change, but the message will remain the same. Can your blob do this?
Also Cherie just made a flan and gained 1000 XP. I'll be in my bunk.

I went to see the movie without having read the book. I just don't have any free time, you see. Very busy person.
It dragged toward the middle/end. It was good. I found the music off-putting when it had vocals, it made me feel like I was watching something trendy all of a sudden. I enjoyed the movie, though. It's pro-running away, so that's cool.
Before then we went to get our portraits taken for our synagogue's photo directory. How much Matt hates having his portrait taken is hilarious. He kind of sassed the guy a bit and then he just laughed for a while about the awkwardness of the pose. At the very end we asked to do our picture. We struck a pose we described as "intrigue". It was the only good picture. The photographer, Reggie, was full of insightful analysis on gender roles in society. Turns out women like to shop. Also, he wouldn't let us sit on chairs at equal height for any picture but the intrigue one. Even though we asked. Matt is only 2 or 3 inches taller than me, but in the pictures where we're both seated he's about half a foot taller. He said that's the way women like it. Um. But. Why does he think it's 1950? So women still like talking on the phone and are akin to children in the backwards world of portrait photography.
Also, why do people like images of women crying? Sitting on the floor, against the wall, preferably in underpants. What's the appeal? Sobby just doesn't seem that sexy.

I cut off a conversation with Ran early, explaining to him that it was my friend Alex's 25 birthday, so I couldn't talk. Ran pointed out that this was a strange thing for me to say, because it was also HIS 25th birthday.
So I am a bad friend and sister. Alex turned 26 yesterday, not 25, and I should probably make a mental note of when Ran was born. For the record, I remember when Ran was born. I was five and half and my dad woke my me and my sister up to let us know that we had a brother. We were very excited. Since my sister and I were rather a bad element, I don't understand why Ran turned out so good, but for the record, he has always been very good. He was always against the bad things we did. Ran has a good core. Just like the Star Ship Enterprise. Maybe one day he'll have to ditch it, to make a speedy exit. Other Ran facts: Ran looks out for me. In one dream he was my conscience. Ran actually appeared in a nightmare I was having to tell me not to worry, that it was only a dream, that I would never kill anybody, and to wake up. Which I did. Thanks Ran! Also, he accomplished both of these in-dream tasks while wearing a black suit with a light purple shirt and a dark purple tie, if I remember correctly, so dream Ran knows to dress up for important dream tasks. Ran is one of the few people for whom I wish happiness before my own wants. So, if Ran would be happier living in China, I wouldn't try super hard to convince him not to, even though I'd miss him so much.
Speaking of China. My parents know some annoying people. They have a creepy lecherous son. He moved to China an estimated 5 years ago. Recently he called them to tell them he got married. My mom thinks this is reasonable, because maybe he wanted to avoid them making a fuss over his marrying a non-Jewish Chinese woman. I think this is UNreasonable, because he didn't give them the option of being cool with it, and he lives in CHINA. That's far away. If he told them he was planning on getting married in a month and they were vocally opposed, he could just ignore their calls for a month. What's the biggie? He should have given them the chance to be happy for him, instead of feeling slighted. He's their only child. I think it's so sad. I hope Matt and I have 5 kids, so that 2 of them could be lame and we'd still have a few kids we like.
It also made me think about life before air travel. People would emigrate to distant lands and then just send letters back and forth. Most never saw each other again. How did they do it? How did they make a decision to leave and never come back, to say good bye to everything they knew, save what they were taking with them? We never have to do this. We move around knowing that we will see each other again and it won't be a big deal. We can see each other several times a year if we want to. It's such a big decision to get on a boat and leave forever. So momentus. I wonder what that feels like in your stomache.
