HIMYM has been saved from having its bubble burst, once again.
Yay!!
I hope tonight is is announced that the Davids will be finalists on American Idol. I love them both, but I love you the most Michael Johns.
Both Brothers and Sisters and Gossip Girls were intense this week. If you agree, comment.
I also would talk more about it, but things are so juicy I dont want to give anything away if you haven't seen it.

B-L-O-G-O-R-O-U-S
Today, while websurfing, I realized how much I enjoy reading other people's blogs, and how much I hate it when they don't update too often. First of all, it makes it harder for me to procrastinate.
I do not think too many people read this blog, so I am ultimately not disappointing too many, but I have high hopes for the future.
I was thinking today, I have been reading www.beingfamous.com since I was in 8th grade (that was 8 years ago) Back then, it was just a pet project of Offer Grinwald's roomate, Amir Blumenfeld, wherein people submitted pictures and if they were lucky, would have their 24 hours of fame, or in my brother's case, humiliation (He ended up crying the day a photoshopped picture of him in drag ended up on the site.) Anyway, people could then submit funny comments and they would end up on the site every time the page was refreshed. From this, Amir got hired at college humor, turned beingfamous into his personal blog, and now has thousands of readers each day and 100+ comments per post.
Blogs are really powerful, magical things.
I only read blogs that make me laugh, or make me cry from laughter.
I hope that is not the case for the reader of my blog, because that is a lot of pressure.
Here are links to some blogs I really love. Check em out.
http://lolliblog.tumblr.com/ This is the link to Amir's co-worker, Jake's mom. Really roundabout but I think she is funnier than Jake and Amir put together (no offense)
Jake and Amir
Joshua Heller
There are more that are on my links page, and even more that I will link later.
Some you can find linked to Josh Heller's blog. Like the fabulous Jen Marmor, Erica Goldman, or Laura Katz.

God Bless the Cinemateque
Before arriving in Italy from Israel, I made a stop in Texas.
Well, close enough. Elise's aunt lives on the U.S. Airforce base near Venice. I don't think I have ever missed my country soo much when we went to the commisary and bought marshmellows, ranch dressing, and egg beaters, all in US dollars.
That night, we saw the movie 21. Before the previews were about to start, everyone rises. At that moment, I realize what is going on, and say, oh too loudly, "Are You Kidding Me?!?!". Every soldier, high school kid that lives on the base because their parents dragged them there, and blond haired wife, stood up, put their hand over their heart, and sang God Bless America. Hands down, most interesting thing I have seen so far.

Europa Europa
Today is my fourth day on a whirlwind 24 day eurotrip.
One day we were in Israel, Budapest, Vienna, and Italy in about a 24 hours period.
So far, Vienna is my favorite city. It was gorgeous.
Venice is a close second.
We also drove to Slovenia on a whim.
The people in Slovenia are exactly how you would imagine them being. I would have taken a picture, but I think one of them had a gun. Crazy Slovik mafia men.
Now we are in Florence. David blew me away, but I am not as impressed with the city as I thought I would be. Maybe because the buildings are so high, you dont get a sense of the entire space. It is nice that everything is so close though, and our hostel is soo nice. PLUS hostel for anyone that needs a hostel in Italy. It was also oddly the cheapest out of all of them.
Off to Cinque Terra tomorrow, sooo excited!! Hope it doesnt rain.

The dollar is a piece of shit
Yay!!
I have have bought just about all of my major modes of transportation for the ultimate Eurotrip.
Costing. drumroll please... a mere $1273. That includes Eurail, flight rt to budapest, and a flight from Paris back to Budapest.
Thats right. That is the cost of fun ladies and gentlemen, if fun is getting from point A-point B, which don't get me wrong, may be half the fun. The other half of fun will probably cost me around $2000+ dollars. But hey, its just money.
Speaking of money, my wallet was stolen. Someone did nicely take the 1000 NIS + my bus card and then toss the wallet to the side for a nice lady to pick it up, go through the trouble of calling the university, and then calling me to return it. I really appreciate that a lot. Some people in this world are kinda cool. I don't have any money though. Well, I have American dollars, but a load of good that will do me. All I have to say is good thing this didn't happen to me in Europe, but why do my lessons always end up costing me 300+ dollars. I think this is actually the cheapest lesson I've learned in a while.

Summer Poll
I have three pretty amazing choices for the summer. Voting available through comments page.
1. Go home right after the semester ends/shortly after the semester ends. Get an amazing internship (hopefully on a really cool TV show) ((anyone have connections????)) and a pretty sweet job ($$$) and an L.A. apartment.
2. Live in Israel for a month -2 months. Rent an apt. in Tel Aviv and get an internship (Ha'aretz is already an option). Live with Rebecca, basically my best friend ever. And lay on the beach. Travel within Israel and possible travel to Cyprus or Greece. See people that are hanging out here for the summer or traveling on Birthright.
3. Go to Thailand for three weeks after the semester. Then, either come back to Israel and crash at friend's places for like 2 weeks and see people on birthright, etc. Or go straight home and still be able to get summer internship.
Other info: a) I am taking a semester off, so I could get an internship in the fall in L.A.
b) I would be immensely happy with any of these decisions.
c) Please help. I don't know what to do.
d) I don't really have any money.
In a perfect world: I would go to Thailand for 3 weeks, tool around Israel for 2, and come home to an internship that starts July 1st.
