[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

really, I'm fine.
How about hugs? Tacklehugs? And a magic spell of words of encouragement to boost your ego just as you go into job interviews, and also to encourage you to apply. Job searching is the hardest job out there. We love you in here!

well, you did say that you tended to fall for lesbians.
Ya, I guess it started at a young age. :: sigh ::

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

hugs of all kinds are always encouraged.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Happy birthday, omnis! Also, what are you doing October 17-25? I'll be in town. Half the week with family and half the week at a conference, so I don't know how much available time I'll have, but still.

I will be eyebrow deep in the grand opening of a brand new performing arts district. I will come up for air on Oct 31st. But I might have a wicked ass hangover from drinking too much champagne on opening night, the 30th.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yeah, I can live with Bitches tellin' me they love me.

Is this, perchance, because they know that you can rock?

billytea, I love you SO MUCH right now. Yes.

Happy b-day, o-a!

D'oh! You're going to open an entire district?

Happy birthday to beth's DH!

I still want the very tiny hamster. Possibly two of them. The Girl is rolling her eyes when I mention this, but I think I'm going to win.

We're doing discourse analysis on a recent speech by the leader of the opposition party (for whom odds are 1-3 on for him becoming the next prime minister). This is what we do with our leisure time.

Well, just the Wyly Theater part of it, but both new facilities are opening at the same time, and both are owned by the same company (not the one I work for), so at times, it will feel like I am opening the whole new Performing Arts Center.

I had to Google this.

Happy end-of-b-day omnis!

Happy b-day, beth's DH

Happy hamster, Seska! (Well, you know you'll get one, in the end).

Now, after the whole "would like to hear more about Israel through your posts" from you, I heard this on the news when I woke up. Unfortunately, they still didn't translate it to English, so here's what happened:

We have here the Acco Festival for Fringe Theater [link] which has the main theme of co-existence, etc.. A lot of Israeli-Arab groups are also taking part of this in Acco, which is one of the big mixed cities in Israel (along Haifa, Jerusalem and others such as Lod). As a background, I should say that a year ago there were very rough riots in Acco between Jews and Arabs, which almost caused the festival to cancel, and eventually, to take place is a very reduced scale.

A show which tells the story of the occupied territories based on the testimonies of Gidon Levy [link] and machsomWATCH [link] won the second prize. The manager of the festival read a letter that a 95 year old Israeli sabra [link] wrote, saying that he does no longer believes in Zionism and no longer wish to stay in this fascist country, and about how it's the time to talk about peace and reconciliation.

Given that all of the other shows which won prizes and all of the shows with political statement were from the left side of the political map, it raised a lot of criticism.

I'm surprised any of this is news. This is how this festival has always been. I don't understand the reaction to it. But it sure doesn't help all of the "the media is biased!" screams we hear here everyday. And that's from someone who hardly watch the news.

New hamster! She is called Hamish! She is a grey dwarf hamster. I'll take a picture as soon as she stops digging up sawdust and peeks her head out enough.

Shir, the Arab-Israeli arts festival sounds interesting. At least it inspired debate.
