Ah, the weekend. It was a balmy 14 degrees today (Celsius, of course... 'twould be around 57 F), warm enough to go out and walk around without a coat. A really pleasant surprise.
We saw "The Ring," which I thought was fairly disturbing but had a lot of loose ends that needed thinking about, and "Bowling for Columbine," which was bitterly funny and brutally informative. I recommend both for a good scare. "Columbine" will really make you want to move to Canada.
There was a segment about SG on SexTV (program on a local station) tonight, which was enjoyable. Gotta love the fact that Canadian broadcast TV can show nudity. I really appreciate the more positive toward sex that the culture in general here exhibits (this coming from a New Yorker...).
Animal of the Day
The Giant African Millipede: this thing actually has 242 legs, not 1000, so it's a bit of a misnomer, but I keep on thinking how the person who sat down to count all of them must've had a lot of spare time on his/her hands. They're harmless and pretty friendly; I've had one crawl all over me, and it's kinda cute how they wave their antennae at you. Sometimes, when they're upset, they'll excrete this nasty-smelling brown stuff, which I've had the privilege of wiping off..
That's all folks, see you tomorrow.

my pic is from halloween. i was a chassid. I passed out gelt and dreidles all night. but the sideburns are real and still rockin... so is the israeli. this weekend has been rough as you know. but im a stonch supporter of the human race and believe in us enough that we may find an peaceful answere if we try hard enough. so i support, as do most kibbutznics, a peaceful coexistance with the arabs. i also believe that an arab grandmother has the same dreams for her grandchild that my grandmother has for me. i refuse to buy into the jerry springer, wwf, george bush, nsync bullshit. Peace is possible.
Yeah.
