man yesterday was pretty good, all things considered. woke up kinda late-ish around 11:30AM when my mom called to tell me that my gammy has an ulcer on her eye and cannot see anymore as of this moment, so i'm worried. i'm really close with her, so it scares me that i'm not there. but i did get to talk to her when my dad was at the doctor with her, so hopefully everything will be fine.
our goal during the day was to rearrange things for the party with al and ray ray. we felt like hoss women when we were done, because we moved heavy shit. and did it with style. we ended up with a japanese/indian style sitting area made from matresses and a little bed frame that functions as a little tiny table. hung out with alice, jade, izy, rayna, and buffy. we laughed a lot, it was really fun and we all talked about our costumes and other party details. very excited. i hope it goes well.
around 5, al and i were picked up by elan (host dad) and driven (in rainy traffic, which i totally slept through and lost track of time) to lapid to pick up the birthday boy (eran) and the rest of the fam to go eat at a restaurant called 'max brenner: the bald man'. now, the restaurant in questions specializes in one thing and one thing only: chocolate. they have every form, treat, drink, dessert chocolate EVER. it's the best shit i've ever seen. now in preparation for this dinner, i barely ate anything all day. when we got there, i knew i needed actual food, so al and i split a salad (delicious veggies), veggie quiche (also amazing), and white chocolate chai tea (instead of milk, white chocolate). i had a really hard time picking my big deal dessert (choices included: chocolate hamgburger and chocolate pizza, mind you). i finally settled on a little confection called a 'nougat crepe', which consisted of a crepe filled with chocolate nougat, drizzled with chocolate sauce, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, with toffee yogurt and chocolate sauce on the side. it was ridiculous. al got a banana split waffle. i don't understand this fucking place. anyone that visits me in israel is eating here. i don't care what you say. sorry guys. this is rule.
anyway, i was wonderfully full and ready to gain 5 pounds in one night. on the way home we played tongue twister games in english and hebrew and the kids tricked al and i how to say 'i fucked a cow' in hebrew, which i forgot how to say. oh well, i'm sure i can figure that out no problem. made plans to be picked up from tel aviv for eran's bar mitzvah ceremony this saturday morning. VERY excited about that and the party!!! got home and watched part of v for vendetta before falling asleep way too late.
this morning we all had to go to ulpan, because MASA reps were supposed to meet us to talk about the General Assembly coming to israel in the next couple of weeks. it's supposed to be a big deal and al and i have both (with 3 others) been chosen to represent ISC at the GA in jerusalem. its very cool. i go to ulpan anyway, but the reps didn't end up coming. however, i did interview with the woman in charge of hooking me up with the group of students that i'll be teaching photography to. i start next week. with middle schoolers. ITS RAINING in israel right now. seriously had to walk to ulpan in the rain this morning. very crazy. i think i'm doing well in ulpan. i like learning hebrew. spanish kiss my ass. although i was feeling a bit under the weather. probably not sleeping enough. plus, it's wet out. al is getting sick too, i think. so we almost didn't go to the TV station today, but we decided to anyway. good thing we did, because we got some good work done editing and splicing music into the little learning demo film we made for keren (tv station.... lady). its really funny. we decided to turn it into a horror movie of sorts. don't ask. i'll post it if i can. really silly.
OH! toy remember the woman that tried to pimp me to her son, vicki? she regretted to inform me today that her son thought i was too young... DARN. :)
walked home in the rain, changed into comfy clothes. naama's brother imanuel came over to bring alice some medicine (and me too) and we got to hang with him for a while. he's hilarious and i really enjoy his company. after he left, alice and i made some cauliflower and broccoli olive oil spaghetti and finished v for vendetta and i've just been watching jonah hill, michael cera, and christopher mintz-plasse interviews. i'm a douche. and i'm going to bed. it's 11:30PM. FINALLY an early bedtime. i'm in love. it's fucking cold. and i just saw a mouse in our room. i think his name is sherman. don't eat my fucking clothes sherman. i beg of you.
love,
sally
p.s. dolly parton is a woman for the ages. that's all.
