It's so cold here today. Very strange. I'm going to have a St. Patrick's Day party this weekend. I think that will be a good change of pace. I've been working a lot of long hours and listening to too much Lou Reed lately. My parents are here. This is their first visit to Israel. They're staying on the kibbutz, which is kind of funny....

The kibbutz Purim party is tomorrow night. We're supposed to dress as historical figures. I'm going as Richard the Third. Tonight I think I'm going to go to the pub at Kibbutz Ketura. I used to go there a lot, and it was always fun. I haven't been there since July though, and I think it'll be good to go tonight. Not much else to...

So today I went to the annual Israeli date grower's convention, which has to be right at the top of my list of things I never thought I'd do. It was at one of the big fancy hotels at the dead sea, so when we got increadibly bored (time elapsed: 30 seconds) we ducked out and went to the beach. It was a good day...

How hard would it be for me to pretend to be Jewish so I could get a free trip to come visit you?
gregweed:
P.S. I haven't gotten any pictures from you in awhile. Do you have my new e-mail account at aracnet?
Spring has arrived. I'm sitting outside right now, enjoying the sun and listening to reggae. About an hour ago I realized just how much I had to drink last night. I walked out of my room and found furniture that hadn't been there before. I don't remember where it came from, but I hope nobody comes looking for it. In other news, I have been...

its going to be a scorching 45 this weekend!
gregweed:
It's 48 and rainy all week here, so there's little chance of me listening to reggae with a bottle of rum in hand. Do you know if you're getting that mechanic job yet?
devil_tunz:
oooo i talked to the guy from eritria... and he may come to the hillel formal -i told him about it and hes letting me know by the end of the week if hes going to go... i havent actually said im interested though or asked if he would go with ME, thats for a later stage...
i may not have to chew off my leg though

FINALLY bought a computer. I met EnsignCrunch in Eilat and got a bunch of shopping done. Our appartment still looks a bit like a prison cell, but it's getting better all the time. I hurt my leg at work, and it got infected, so I'm spending a lot of time sitting around. Video games and rum will probably take up most of my time. I...

Yay for rum. How bad is your leg?
devil_tunz:
You know, the feeling that you're feeling is just what many of us call... a "feeling".
Watched all of season 3 last night... and I wonder why my marks suffer...

Boy did dinner suck tonight, and after the weekend there's never any food in the appartment. I could really go for a sandwich.

I'm going to try to be in a good mood today. I've been pissed off since friday, and I don't want to be anymore. I've got a bottle of good scotch and some Rolling Stones to cheer me up tonight. Probably having people over too. It just might work.

How you doin' buddy, holdin' up ok?
I may soon have a new job. There is an opening in the garage here, and I'm more than qulified for the job. There is only one other mechanic here with any formal training; he's the boss in the garage, and I have more training than him. Also, all of his training is in farm equipment, which would make me the only one with automotive...

It wont stop snowing!!!!!!!! Why did I move here again?
Pretty much settled in now. It hasn't exactly been a whole lot fun. Being an immigrant is not the easiest thing I've ever done. I've had a lot of help from my roommate, EnsignCrunch, but it still sucked. I have managed to not get too bored here on the kibbutz. We've been playing a lot of poker, and watching a bunch of movies, and...

devil_tunz:
dont you love crazy phone calls from people who havent slept all night? 
So, I'm pretty well settled. My room was a mess when I got here. There were two broken TVs and a bunch of other shit sitting around in there. The rest of the appartment was pretty normal, and it didn't take too long to clean up. Everything's going well though, and I have people to hang out with. I didn't see anybody I knew at...
