So apparently, because I have Israeli citizenship, in order to travel there now that I'm no longer a minor I need to carry Military Exemption Papers.

Meaning that if I don't have those as well as a valid Israeli passport, they'll grab me the instant I step off the plane, shove an M16 into my hands and ship me off to the bloody streets of Gaza.

Now, this would be all fine and dandy if it weren't for the fact that we're dealing with Israelis here. The wonderful people at the Consulate in L.A., aside from being utterly unpleasant, are also extremely reluctant to be of any useful service.

The silver lining? I look great in army green.

so today sucked like whoa.
it appropriately started raining.
i had like eighteen errands to run, but was too gloomy to do anything, so my plan for the night is to watch many mucho movies and eat comfort food.
thank god for mac and cheese and funfetti.

tomorrow is the pageant of the masters art festival in laguna.
i'm so not down this year.

also, we learned last night that maya should never drink tequila.

     so today after our dress rehearsal, i was in my little stage managers' office with my production manager running through the insanely hectic transitions for the show. tonight's rehearsal, incidentally, was a little on the disastrous side, transition-wise at least. so there's this scene that takes place in a hotel room, and the movable set unit which doubles for another scene serves as the back wall, and on this wall hangs a framed picture. today, when the unit was moved out during the transition it must have got knocked by one of the stagehands during the blackout, so when the lights came on the picture was severely askew. as a result, my production manager had me add a note to check the hotel picture prior to that particular transition, so i wrote on my prompt sheet "check hotel picture." at this point it's close to 11:30 p.m., by the way. so i look up to say something, and then i look back down to check my notes, and on my transitions sheet i had written "check hotel chicken."

  That's right, folks, it's that time of year again.
The time of swimming, picnicking, playing games, jumping up and down, spending time with friends, sweltering in the heat, and most of all, the time of drastic haircuts.
Next Wednesday, to be exact.
Oh, it's gonna be good this year.

  pictures from my cousin's wedding, which by the way was the most gorgeous wedding ever. i most definitely cried: when the bride came down the aisle, when they showed a video of my cousin proposing to her, when my dad made his toast, when my uncle started dancing (okay, those were tears of mirth). anyway:

i can't even imagine how much money went into the whole thing, but i'm pretty sure that during that last picture my dad's telling me i'm getting married in jeans on the beach.

  let's see if this merits any results:

does anyone have any idea whatsoever where i could potentially find a typewriter, non-electronic, still working and in decent condition?
i've looked online and found a few, but haven't gotten replies back, and i'd like to take a look at any and all sources i can find.
if anyone can point me in a right direction i'd be eternally grateful.

mood: sick
so friday was a success.
i'd say it goes down on the list of epic parties, no doubt.
mostly because of the spectacular costumes.
(if anyone has any pictures, incidentally, please please please send them to me, i have none whatsoever).
i tihnk i may have gotten a little sick, though.
i really hope not, seeing as how my cousin's wedding is in four days and my dad just flew in this morning.
speaking of which . . . !!!!
i'm so excited to see him, it's most definitely been an entire seven months.
that's pretty ridiculously long.

in other news, i finally saw 300 last night.
it was really really fucking cool.
i'd actually totally be down to see it again.
especially now that i know that the guy who plays Xerxes is the hot Brazilian guy from Love Actually.
except, you know, made to look like Cher.

i just got back from the mountain goats show, and i can't think of a single word that would sufficiently describe just how FUCKING AMAZING it was. i just . . . i'm utterly speechless. expect to see me completely elated for several weeks to come - THAT'S how fucking amazing it was.

let me just describe one moment:

i can't remember which song it was during, but i think it was during "Peacocks." I'm looking up at the stage, singing along a little, with the most enormous, ecstatic, goofy grin on my face. so as i'm worshipfully staring up at John, he steps back from the mic for a few bars of hard strumming, his gaze sweeping over the audience members. Suddenly, we lock eyes, and he stands there SMILING DIRECTLY AT ME for a full twenty seconds. As in, the two of us stood there, mere feet apart, and grinned at each other for almost half a minute.

!!!!!!!!!!!

and if you think i'm just wistfully hallucinating, Caitlin saw the entire exchange, so she most confidently bears witness.


in other news, my marvelous fantastic unbelievable friends bought me a $200 guitar yesterday. remind me again what i did to deserve you guys?

  i have to say, so far, excellent birthday.
meine Mutter left me flowers and a card on the breakfast table when i woke up, it was cute.
she's taking me out to a nice dinner tonight too.
i also suspect i'm getting some Scrubs DVD's from her . . .
AND we watched Goodbye Lenin in my German class.
AND the weather is gorgeous - i can't remember the last time i wore only one layer.
AND my dad's coming here in three weeks AND he's getting me a camera for my birthday.
AND coleyface left me the wonderfulest birthday message while i was in class.
i gotta say, i'm really liking this whole turning nineteen thing.

and almost best of all, i'm seeing this spectacular amazing magnificent talented beautiful band play in FIVE DAYS.

i might die of sheer unadulterated delight.

  This story gave me chills when I read it. It's an excerpt from Paulo Coelho's newest novel, The Devil and Miss Prym.

Concerning the painting of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper:

  "When he was creating this picture, Leonardo da Vinci encountered a serious problem: he had to depict Good - in the person of Jesus - and Evil - in the figure of Judas, the friend who resolves to betray him during the meal. He stopped work on the painting until he could find his ideal models.
    "One day, when he was listening to a choir, he saw in one of the boys the perfect image of Christ. He invited him to his studio and made sketches and studies of his face.
    "Three years went by. The Last Supper was almost complete, but Leonardo had still not found the perfect model for Judas. The cardinal responsible for the church started to put pressure on him to finish the mural.
    "After many days spent vainly searching, the artist came across a prematurely aged youth, in rags and lying drunk in the gutter. With some difficulty, he persuaded his assistants to bring the fellow directly to the church, since there was no time left to make preliminary sketches.
    "The beggar was taken there, not quite understanding what was going on. He was propped up by Leonardo's assistants, while Leonardo copied the lines of impiety, sin and egotism so clearly etched on his features.
    When he had finished, the beggar, who had sobered up slightly, opened his eyes and saw the picture before him. With a mixture of horror and sadness he said:
    "'I've seen that picture before!'
    "'When?' asked an astonished Leonardo.
    "'Three years ago, before I lost everything I had, at a time when I used to sing in a choir and my life was full of dreams. The artist asked me to pose as the model for the face of Jesus.'"

What a cute day.

I bought Cinema Paradiso! So basically I'm the most lucky person ever.

Only one more final and then I'm done! It would be pretty excellent except that its Algebra and I'm actually kind of worried about this one.

But its okay, because I have Cinema Paradiso! AND the Angels in America DVD that I stole from Casey, who is, by the way, my lord and savior. That DVD makes me so insanely, extremely, perfectly, wonderfully happy.

Also, Alex is coming home!

And I hung out with a cool person today. :)
