the mind softens, oozes into mush

i just completed 2 rounds of my favorite annoying time-waster, Text Twist, on Yahoo! Games. They give you six letters, and you have a minute or so to make as many 3- 4- 5- and 6- letter words out of them as possible. Once you get the 6-letter word, you "qualify" to continue to the "next round," which really means nothing. So I got the 6-letter word RABBIT, then a bunch of the 3- and 4- letter words, but couldn't get that damn 5-letter word...

Next round, I figured out PARLAY, and a few 3-letter words, but couldn't get either of the viable 4-letter words. One of them, it turns out, was PLAY.

Once you figure out the 2 i DIDN'T figure out, you'll see why I am ashamed.

Blogging is tricky. There are so many things you CAN"T talk about. And there are things you WANT to talk about, but end up too tired to write about, like the time that Erik Garcia and I found the Kosher Thai restaurant closed at 11am when we wanted an early lunch. It's a great story.

I've become so darn lazy. Not a good sign.

Done

Okay. I haven't posted in a while. I don't know if that sucks, or if it don't matter at all or if it's symptomatic of a larger problem within me, or in the universe or if it heralds the coming of a Golden Age, a Dark Age, an Ice Age, a Blue Period or what.

Brown is the New Black.

I delayed my return to Israel by one day (only flight I could find this week), so I could have a minute to breathe, launder my skivvies, hang out with mom, go to the beach with Erik Garcia and not be generally totally stressed out. It's been a great day. Most of it was spent at Wal-Mart, but a great day nonetheless.

Tonite me and Mom are going to see Little Miss Sunshine.

More later.

exploitation of the reader

greetings from US & A. I am in Bradford, Vermont. It's covered in snow.
this post is a pathetic attempt to milk you, my friends, for information.

looking for:

1) A decent and reasonable place to get a nice lunch in Teaneck. Any thoughts?

2) A good KOSHER ASIAN joint in Manhattan or Brooklyn--- noodles preferred, but anything that actually tastes good is great.

Write soon-- after Thursday, February 9, this message will be nothing but a fossil in the great boneyard of the Wanderingstu archives.

Thanks!!!

leaving

Okay. so my flight isn't for a few hours yet, but I leave Bat Ayin to head to the airport in less than 2 hours. The dusk is creeping in over the valley, my last gaze upon the quiet beauty of this scene. I just started feeling some mild jitters-- who knows what the next 3 weeks hold?

Do you?
I reckon He does, as they say.

See you soon, I hope.
