you could be from venus and i could be from mars

let's see here. right after i fell asleep after my gigantic rant, i was unpleasantly woken up by the sound of our mirror falling from our windowsill to the hard ground. after i got over being terrified and shaking, i went back to sleep. in the morning, al and i met ofir in tel aviv so that i could take some website photos of this apartment building and also scenic pictures of tel aviv for applicants to the internship program that oranim offers. the owner of the building even asked if he could have some copies of the photos for his website, so i may sell them to him for extra money. cross our fingers. we then walked through the art market in tel aviv, which is so beautiful and amazing. anyone that comes to visit me, we're going there. photos for sure. there was a guy playing spanish-style, drum accompanied classical guitar that reminded me why i love the guitar. incredible.

after the photo sesh was finished, we grabbed some food at king george restaurant (famous restaurant in tel aviv). then we hung out for a while, watching boys play shesh-besh (backgammon). we were about to leave, when we decided to go to this bar down the street. it was mostly outside with couches, lights, and grass on this beautiful patio and even a random piano (which i later played and was kicked off of). oops. we met up with this business man and his son who is now in the army here (from LA, attempting to be charming and shmoozy like his dad, but just ended up seeming cheap and sleazy). also, this other business man from south africa, who explained that he just hired people to do everything for him. i found this very interesting, that someone in life can just pay someone to do everything for him. is that fulfilling? i don't think i'll ever know, but i doubt that it is.

anyway, woke up this morning and am about to get ready to go to tel aviv for a social function with israelis at this indian restaurant/bar. apparently, i'm supposed to bring my guitar. i'm so fucking stoked for tonight. WOOOOOOOOOO.!!!!! indian food and music and israelis and some drinks. i'm in dreamland. WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

oh, and AIR is coming to tel aviv this week, so i'm super excited for that. i'm listening to them right now. i really like them so much. their music is infectious. you can't not like them. kind of like the beatles. but honestly i've met more people that don't like the beatles than have not liked AIR. which reminds me that i'm still sad that i didn't see paul mccartney. there's a girl from the oranim office that we ran into at the shook in tel aviv yesterday that told me you could hear everything perfectly from outside the venue and if positioned properly, you could even see paul. and that he was using hebrew words. i almost cried. i don't know why, but i'm just mad at myself that i didn't make more of an effort to see him. i'm afraid i won't be able to again. :( oh well. i need to get on my voting responsibilities and finish applying for my absentee ballot. i heard the debates were bullshit. i need to watch them. eff.

photos soon, promise.

love,
