:) one more hour and i get to open gifts.
yeah! i don't think i was this excited about gifts even when i was a child.
i will probably get lots of crappy useless things, BUT it makes me happy just to receive them.

we bought the most awesome presents for everyone, i can't wait to see their faces.

did i mention i love christmas?:) a christmas loving jew... how weird.

this has been a decent year, no one died. but it was a life-changing year.
i coud have skipped the life changing part, but we get no choice.

so let it be this way, as long as i have D. and my mother and the relatives (cousins:)) i don't need much else.

seriously! i don't really need as much as i want.

the only thing missing is a child. every day i feel the desire, the need to be pregnant, to give birth. it goes away in the afternoon:).
one day it won't, and then i will have  a baby.

i have no resolutions, nothing that i really want to change, except turning 29! i dont' wanna do that.:( 

January, go away.

my mom is here, helping me grade.:)


i woke up all grouchy and nervious. bad dreams that i can not remmember.

need to get stoned but mommy is here.

the great thing (well not for her) is that her leg hurts too much for her to walk down the stairs, so i can slip down to the basement, toke, and not worry that she will find me out.

i do feel bad about her knee. my pooor lovely mother. she is getting very old and her body is sort of falling apart.

took her "shopping".:) salvation army shopping that is. good deals!!! everything is either 50 percent off or buy one get one free kind of thing.

WOW [06 Dec 2004|02:06pm]
Dr. Kerry Kirwan of the University of Warwick poses with a biodegradable cellphone. Researchers at the university along with materials company Pvaxx Research  and  Development, at the request of U.S.-based mobile phone maker Motorola, came up with a polymer that looks like any other plastic, but which degrades into soil when discarded. The university researchers developed a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed, which will feed on the nitrates that are formed when the polyvinylalcohol polymer cover turns to waste.

watched a movie last night, "carrington".

free love, homosexuals, suicide.

i am still getting over it.

i am sure i will end up like her, killing myself when D. dies.
life without him won't be any kind of life i want to live.

politics are over for a while. washington governor officially won. that should make some people very sad, while others will be happy. (including me ---- who ever thought i would be cheering for someone just because he is a republican. did i mention i voted a straight ticket? ofcourse, the republican straigh ticket.)

teaching is so good! my calculus class is full of wonderfully smart and intellegent and fun people. we will be doing Areas and Volumes today.

and i am so looking forward to working at the new place! I am going to have a grader and an office and ... i am just a little excited.

Arafat was a Monster. and that is how we should remmember him. [11 Nov 2004|01:32pm]

It would take an encyclopedia to catalog all of the evil Arafat committed. But that is no excuse for not trying to recall at least some of it.

Perhaps his signal contribution to the practice of political terror was the introduction of warfare against children. On one black date in May 1974, three PLO terrorists slipped from Lebanon into the northern Israeli town of Ma'alot. They murdered two parents and a child whom they found at home, then seized a local school, taking more than 100 boys and girls hostage and threatening to kill them unless a number of imprisoned terrorists were released. When Israeli troops attempted a rescue, the terrorists exploded hand grenades and opened fire on the students. By the time the horror ended, 25 people were dead; 21 of them were children.

Thirty years later, no one speaks of Ma'alot anymore. The dead children have been forgotten. Everyone knows Arafat's name, but who ever recalls the names of his victims?

So let us recall them: Ilana Turgeman. Rachel Aputa. Yocheved Mazoz. Sarah Ben-Shim'on. Yona Sabag. Yafa Cohen. Shoshana Cohen. Michal Sitrok. Malka Amrosy. Aviva Saada. Yocheved Diyi. Yaakov Levi. Yaakov Kabla. Rina Cohen. Ilana Ne'eman. Sarah Madar. Tamar Dahan. Sarah Soper. Lili Morad. David Madar. Yehudit Madar. The 21 dead children of Ma'alot -- 21 of the thousands of who died at Arafat's command.

I am so proud of American people, who came out and fvoted for President Bush.
They were quiet during the pre-election times, but when the time to vote came -- they showed up! Unlike the liberal pot smoking, history illiterates, conservative americans voted! They made their voices finally heard!

We don't want another Beslan.
Israel is our Friend.
We are behind Israel
We will protect ourselves.
We won't tolerate any socialistic agenda.
We will bring freedom and peace, by force if we have to.


I feel bad for democrats and liberals. Really bad.
Some of them are people I love.
I wish harmony for them, i wish reflection for them, but i do not wish a feeling of despair. WWII was desperate times. Stalinist times was desperate times. We do not live in desperate times. By historical standards, we live in a very very peaceful, prosperous times. We have it the best! Even starving people in Africa. There was a time that they had it worse.
Rejoice in the thought that we live in a great era.

PS: Chirac DID find time to visit Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in hospital yesterday.

HISTORY -- You MUST learn from it. [03 Nov 2004|02:53pm]
When W ran for governor of Texas, the issue of gay marriage came up in Texas.
He won.

Three Mass. judges decide to start a gay marriage debate two years before the election (2002). This became an issue for every single contested state this election. This became the reason for conservatives to come out and vote.
Bush won.

Lesson: don't bring up gay marriage issue before election if you want Democrat to win.
