That's great news Heather.

Heather, thanks for posting your good news.

If I'm ever sending you a postcard from Israel, it's going to have camels on it.

I sent it to school with her so someone could maybe translate it

I was reading it thinking "oh, if you scan it I can translate it!", and then you mentioned Kristin, and, well, so much easier.

I now have a doughnut. I'm not sure what to call it. It looks like a little loaf of bread.

Tim Horton's has these. They're sort of like a donut muffin.

Foods have too many names. Or maybe in-English foods. Or maybe in-American-English foods, I don't know where the difference lies. That's what I learned from skimming yesterday's Natter.

Aren't they just loaf-shaped muffins?

commenting about that "girl who laughed so loudly in front" (we were at the most front occupied row, so it had to be me), followed by attempts to imitate that strange girl's laughter.

I keel them!

Not really, because they only seem to come in donut flavors, at least the ones I've seen. The texture is more donutty, too.

Thank goodness, Heather.

Re: crying at movies. I unabashedly will quietly weep in a theatre. It's dark, so I don't worry about people looking at me--or even walking out puffy-eyed. Once while watching Grave of the Fireflies at an anime film festival, three Japanese girls in front of me were SOBBING and weeping at the end of the film. Needless to say, that film is sob worthy.

I'm awake, and not happy about it, since I don't need to be awake and my neighbors suck donkeyass, but now I think I may imitate shrift and drive really fast to where there are donuts and coffee.

This may require pants, but I think I can find some.
