I can't really open my eyes. I have a lot to do today, with emphasis on seeing my friend before her flight to South America for the next 3 months.

RE: custard. Coming from half-English family, I know the vanilla pudding dessert as custard. Sometimes my mom adds caramel on top of it (yum!). With my 100% English relatives, it usually served with fruit salad/ice cream/both, but usually fruit salad (but I like the caramel topping most).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need to be distracted from this.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think it's adorable ita, go buy it.

I am such a dork. Talking to a fellow mom today we got into a discussion about one of the American Girl dolls--Julie. I said she was the 70s doll, she said 60s. Since we're both academic types, we both were CONVINCED that we were right and the other was wrong. She finally ropes her daughter in to agree with her and tells me "it's two against one." WhatEV. So I of course get home and check online. Julie's story is set in 1974. I KNEW I was right!

Hey ita!
Jumps up and down, wearing something bright radioactive colors and juggling ice and fire while sneezing and whistling at the same time
Over there! Look!

(Explanation: this is a hilarious Israeli music video (actually, to an artist I really don't like). It's called "It is not good that the man should be alone". Apparently the cow is very sympathetic).

"Custard" to me means flan. "Frozen custard" means the stuff that's sort of like soft serve ice cream.

Hee. It's two in the morning here. And frankly, I would rather be anywhere but here right now. Tomorrow, I've got to work on my dissertation. Don't wanna!

I just want this writing to be over. I've promised myself a trip to Europe and/or Israel after I graduate. Also, a friend invited me to visit her in Cairo. So, fun things to do. After I finish all of this stuff. Which will take all year.

Fun is always ahead of us, Hil. Only sometime we catch it. Better than the horizon, I guess.

But yay for future travel plans!

Is it a sincere song, Shir? Because...weirdness.

Humm. I don't know. It says something like "It is not good that the man should be alone, but he is alone either way".

The cow makes my laugh so hard I tear. Every time.

I know that writing the dis is stressful, but for myself, I spent a lot of time not actually writing it.

That video is very odd.

I'm stressing out over my dissertation. This is not good.
