It's weird to me that the people in the apartment can so successfully find new things to move/drop/hit/fix/destroy/et cetera all the time and create so much noise. I mean, there has to be a finite number of things that a person can do in a building made of concrete (as almost all buildings here are) that make such a loud noise. Frankly, I am impressed by their ability to create noise. Maybe they are trying to put together an Israeli version of Stomp, but just have no real musical talent. A distinct possibility. If anyone investing in this venture is reading this now, I have this advice for you: KEEP YOUR MONEY!

So I've been watching this really stupid tv show for the last few months. It is based on Romeo and Juliet. The funny thing is that the show is so full of cliches and bad acting that I'm hoping that, in the end, it really is like Romeo and Juliet. To me, a happy ending would be if the two stars killed themselves. Frankly, it would be nice if the whole cast followed suit afterwards, as well. The only reason I watch the stupid show is that I've already watched over 100 episodes, so I figure I might as well stick it out. I have a bad feeling that they will all somehow survive. To me, this will be a tragedy.

Am I an asshole for laughing at this? If not, am I an asshole for watching it ten more times and laughing every single one of them?

So I was reading the newspaper today online (if you can call Page Six a "newspaper") and I saw a story about a guy who got dumped by his girlfriend for another man after being together for three years. The thing that made me laugh was that his guy is a huge New England Patriots fan and his girlfriend dumped him for Tom Brady (the Pats star quarterback). The part that is even funnier is that he is still supporting Mr. Brady and the Pats as they prepare for another Super Bowl. Being a fan of a team is one thing, but when their biggest star steals my girlfriend away from me I think its safe to say that my support for the team has run its course. Maybe I'm just a small man.

So I was stumbling around online and i discovered that my mom has a livejournal (and there is no way that I'm linking to it, btw). I'm still not sure what to make of this fact, although I have seen a few articles deeling with "what to do if your mom finds your blog," I'm not sure there is a "What to do if you discover your moms livejournal." I find myself mostly looking for all the places she talks about me. Yes, I'm vain.

About 3 years ago I bought a whole bunch of this Clinique facial soap (it was really cheap and the free sample I got made me feel fresh and clean). So this week I finally ran out of this soap and decided to check the Clinique web site to see how much this stuff costs there only to find that I can't find it. My little green soap is gone! Now I've found that no matter how much I wash my face, it just doesn't feel clean (and I've tried a few different soap cocktails). How Shakespearean. Maybe they still have it at Bloomies. One more thing to investigate on my American tour.

btw, does this mean that "The M Word" applies to me now?

Ok, so I was watching the "Rise and Rise of Pink" on VH1 just now and someone said the following about her: "If she hadn't found music, I think she might be in jail right now." Now people say this as if it is supposed to be some kind of compliment to celebs (I think we've all heard it too many times about too many famous people), but I just seem to be missing the point here.

First of all, it seems to only apply to people who went on to become famous. This makes me think that if we went to prisons and asked them what their other options in life were besides murder, rape, and drugs they would reply "well, I was considering becoming a pop-star but I thought the hours sucked." Or maybe "I was going to apply to the Actors Studio, but I decided to just rob that bank instead."

Ever met an accountant who told you that he would probably be in jail now if it wasn't for his talent to save people money while charging them money? I haven't.

Is it supposed to impress me that this person chose fame and fortune over crime?

Just a thought...well...almost a thought...more of a ramble...

So i decided to start a blog (blame Sarah).
