in my dreams
music: servers mood: isitaugustyet?
i need to be in another country - preferably one that doesn't get as damn cold as new york gets. i would like to go white water rafting. i want to play around in a huge but private swimming pool. i would like to go skydiving again. i wanna be in a theme park - going (up and) down all of the craziest roller coasters. a water park would be awesome too! i would also like to go out every night with my friends, get drunk and stumble home at 6am, without having to get up to go anywhere but out the next evening.
my mind is SO not here... how the hell am i going to get through the next few months???

and now for something that makes me happy
music: hanzel und gretyl - verbotenland mood: ehh...
i actually managed to do all of my reading for class this weekend and in a short while i will be heading out to meet with dan marshall of last rites. we are going to see what our options are for a new piece. i've been working with steve for so long (and sill am) that i finally broke and decided that it's time for me to make room for someone else's art work as well. ...being that it was adam i was whining to about this, he recommended i talk to dan.
i am excited =)

ugh!
music: slipknot - disasterpiece mood: *hate*
i know i'll forget about this in a couple of days or so, but right now i'm pretty fucking pissed. two people who i thought were my friends, managed to annoy the crap outta me in the span of no more than an hour of each other. they both turned out to be (each in their own 'special' way) assholes whom i would have likely 'accidentally' spilled my drink on, had i been in the correct situation. thankfully, though, i am in the comfort of my apartment. so by the time i see either of them (which probably won't even happen with one of them), i will have forgotten about my anger and will proceed to ignore their existance. i fucking hate to have to do that... but when someone's friendship is conditional upon their fucking MOOD (of all things), i have just about zero desire to even try and salvage anything that might have been there.

world domination!!
music: hanzel und gretyl - third reich from the sun mood: awake
i just spent the better part of two hours talking to dikla... we did a little bit of catching up on stuff that took place since we last spoke, and fantasized about seven months from now, when our forces will be rejoined for the purpose of conquering the civilized world (well, perhaps we'll be focusing on tel aviv =P).
i love and miss my friends so incredibly much!!

and... we're off!
music: servers mood: hungry?
welp, yesterday was the first day of my last full semester. i had two classes, and they seem rather interesting. the professors appear to be cool, and will likely be interesting as well... however, given the fact that i had but a single day of classes, i have a relatively HUGE amount of reading already. and it's only going to get worse next week, when i find out what the other three classes have waiting for me. heh. i've already begun doing my reading for one of the classes and plan on finishing up next thursday's assignment this weekend. hopefully i'll be able to do the reading for the other class as well, even though it's not due until the following week.
this semester is going to be a lot of work, so i have to stay on top of everything and try to stay ahead of schedule, as much as i can. otherwise... well i don't even want to think of what will be otherwise.
i can't wait for it to be may 17th (last day of classes). lol.

let it be said that the first part of the american idol auditions are fucking hysterical. i cannot believe people subject themselves to such humiliation... moreover, are the people who suck serious ass not aware at all of the fact that they do just that? amazing.

weekend recap
music: lamb of god mood: ok
on friday night, kristen actually managed to drag me out. lol. at first i was planning on going anyway, but as time went on - i decided that staying in was the best idea. as usual. but somehow she managed to make it sound like i would actually have fun. hehe. so i got ready and headed out to meet her and her friend over at korova. we hung out there for a while; had a couple of drinks, listened to some decent juke-box selections, and got to see my favorite bartenders. once we decided that we'd had enough of that, we headed over to remote for the new incarnation of sundown. i think we actually had a good time (photos are forthcoming) and stayed rather late. at some point, though, it was time for food... so yaffa it was.
saturday i think i slept all day, and i got slightly annoyed at my sister for insisting that i shouldn't stay in all day. i think she neglected to understand just how much i love being home and just how lazy i really am. lol.
sunday i actually got up rather early and helped my sister down the stairs with her suitcases. the car service came on time, and she was off to the airport. i was sad to see her go... i will miss her and i'm actually quite jealous that her destination was israel. *sigh* anyway, once she was off, i headed into the city to the office. i had promised one of my agents that i'd help him out with something. that being accomplished, i felt the need to buy a pair of jeans. lol. i think my sister gave me the urge, with all of her shopping. after i had my new pair of pants, i headed back home, where i managed to take a nap and then go out for dinner with bareket (who is finally back from israel). we talked about our future plans and did a little catching up etc.
now i'm back to the old daily grind. i guess it's not going to last very long, though... i am beginning a new semester on thursday.
oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIORI!! i wish i were there to celebrate it with you... *loves*

talented people
music: radiator clanking (is that even a word?) mood: content
yesterday was so much fun!! i got up at the ass-crack of dawn and got ready to head out to connecticut for a shoot with brian mackey. the way there was pretty much uneventful, but once i got there everything that could have gone wrong - did. we missed our turn on the highway, the site that we were supposed to shoot at was unavailable and we were seriously running out of time. however, once we got situated in the new location and got things going, we were on a roll. i got to (finally meet and) shoot some sets with erin, and i decided to stay in CT for the night so we could get some more work done.
there are plans for more work with the lovely couple in the next few weeks. i can't wait! thank you both for your hospitality, company and amazing talent =)

nothing like being up at 5am on a saturday
music: silence mood: yay!
went to sleep at 8pm last night so i could get up at 4am. i figured that two and a half to three hours should be sufficient enough for me to get ready to go to CT.
today i have a photoshoot with mister brian mackey! i love him =)
i can't actually believe i'm doing this, since i haven't done any shoots in months now... much less ones that require traveling to another state. lol. i know i've been long overdue for something new, but i don't like the modeling 'scene' in this place and no matter how much i try to stay detached from it, it finds a way to get under my skin. so i've mostly been avoiding it (much like everything else around here).
anyway, it's about an hour and a half before i have to get out of here and i'm already all ready to go. i was considering going back to sleep for a bit, but i don't think i will have a successful attempt since i already slept almost four hours. i think TV is in order =D
i will most likely have some photos later on tonight, but i'm not sure how many of them will be posted publicly (considering the nature of most of brian's work)... we shall see =)

Wednesday, January 4th
and then there's this...
music: office noise mood: *sigh*
well, there are all of the school/apartment issues to consider (for those of you who know what this is about), but there is also the fact that lately i've been feeling all shabby and neglected. yes, i guess it's safe to say that i've been neglecting myself - both the way i look and it seems that i have given up on this extra weight i put on... no thanks to people who keep on telling me that i look lovely the way i am. while i appreciate people who want to be nice, allowing me to let myself go is not what i consider a friendly act.
i have to immediately go on a decent diet (no crash diets cuz we know how those turn out) and start going to the gym again. i don't know how i'm going to find time to do the gym thing, but i don't think i have a choice. also, the plan on sunday is for major change in my hair's look. i have to go blond again. i'd love to stay black, but my stupid allergy won't allow me to do that. i'd also like to have it straightened out for a bit, but one thing at a time. another thing that's in order, is some serious shopping. i'm not talking about anything that will be specifically for work nor specifically for going out... i just really need a LOT of new long sleeve black t-shirts (and perhaps a few other colors too) and a new coat. i mean i'm trying to save money, but i feel really icky; all of my old stuff is ready to be converted into rags and pajamas.
time to pick myself up, feel good about myself again and get my stuff taken care of; school, apartment or otherwise.

fare well
music: office crap mood: nostalgic?
yesterday and last night were bitter sweet... after work, i headed to the 34th street area to meet up with amir and orr during their shopping expedition. i wanted to go see them again before today, when they fly back to the holy land. we didn't do much aside from walking around in the rain and making a few stops that they wanted to make. once that part was done, we headed uptown to tal's apartment, where we were to decide on the activities for their last night here. we decided on sushi, followed by korova. korova was set to be the place their friends (and fans =D) were to come have a drink and wish them well etc. they got marke to allow them to play the jukebox instead of having the TV volume on, and also got the DJ to wait until their set list was over. heh. gotta love israelis ;) by about midnight i was ready to crash, so i said my good-byes, grabbed sharon and amir and we headed back to brooklyn.
i slept like the dead.
they are still here today for half of the day, but i will not get the chance to see them. hanging out with these people this week was quite an experience, and an amazing one at that. it makes me wish, all the more, that i was back with my obnoxious/loud/rude friends, in isreal. i'm seriously going to miss these boys... odd, considering i've only known one of them for a really long time and one i just met this week.
*shrug*
and now on with the show!

some people just rule!
music: office chatter mood: extatic
what does one do when they suddenly get something they REALLY want... something that can help make the change they have been dying to make?
i never thought i would ever get a break. but now, i am so overwhelmed, i wanna dance!
this is going to be a difficult transition, but i'll be damned if i'm not going to take this opportunity!

come what may
music: otep - battle ready mood: i should probably go back to sleep
last night was definitely one of the better new years celebrations i've ever had, thanks to this particular group of boys =) i didn't go far to get to some crazy party... instead, i found myself at a local brooklyn bar watching some bands play. we all got seriously drunk and had an insane time! photos are here.
i thank amir, ofer and orr - for having me along on the last show of this tour. may they grow and succeed with everything that they do and have a safe trip back to israel.
*sigh*
i'll be going to see them play live in tel aviv sometime in 2006.
