JAYpac visits!

י״א בשבט ה׳תשס״ה (Friday 21 January 2005)

JAYpac just visited me, with upturned collar, swarthy complexion, unshaven and a vaguely surly demeanor – ie, at his best! He’s in the country as the madrich for a Birthright trip that already ended. I was a little disappointed he didn’t let me speak to his group, but at the same time I don’t blame [...]

My immune system sucks.

י׳ בשבט ה׳תשס״ה (Thursday 20 January 2005)

I woke up this morning with a killer cold – sore throat, headache, fatigue, sore muscles, stuffy nose – probably from my visit to the mall yesterday. When we were there, I asked Avi, “What are all these random high school aged kids doing here in the middle of the day?” And he was like, [...]

Phone-shopping at the mall

ט׳ בשבט ה׳תשס״ה (Wednesday 19 January 2005)

I went with Avi to the mall today to go phone-shopping. It seems that most of my friends are on Orange, so it made sense for me to go to the Orange store and talk to someone there. When I sat down, I first explained to the guy that I prefer a flip phone (ie, [...]

Shabbat at Tzvi's house

ו׳ בשבט ה׳תשס״ה (Sunday 16 January 2005)

As noted, I went for shabbat to Tzvi’s family’s house in Ramot. Tzvi has six siblings: two sisters and four brothers (he’s the oldest), plus his brother’s girlfriend, and another friend Binyamin, and the cat Yenta, were present. It was a full house. Tzvi’s parents are cool. I got to talk to his dad quite [...]

What a week

ד׳ בשבט ה׳תשס״ה (Friday 14 January 2005)

I have to admit, I am a bit disappointed by my slower-than-expected recovery. While the incision is healing nicely, I still feel discomfort and soreness from the surgery; I spent most of this week still minimizing my motion and activity, mainly by lying in bed. I did get some great visitors: Ezra and Miriam walked [...]

Food for Shabbat; movies

כ״ו בטבת ה׳תשס״ה (Friday 7 January 2005)

Well well well. Miriam returned yesterday from her visit to America and she and Ezra brought me stuff today that I can eat over shabbat. Woohoo, I won’t have to cook rice again (last time I clumsily tore the bag open and spilled it all over the counter and floor), for a while at least. [...]
