harry potter...

my mom arrives tonight! it's been 8 months since the last time we met. i wasn't too sure when she told me she was coming, i mean, i've gone thru some difficult times lately (with the separation and all), but she was very excited about coming to visit me and the be in my graduation ceremony...so i agreed.
i'm kind of nervous cause this time she is not coming with my brother (who speaks hebrew so he could go around the city without problem and take care of her), so with no english and no hebrew it won't be easy. plus, last time i was living in a 3 bedroom apartment and this time is only one!...but the truth is that when i went last week to take my hat and gown for the ceremony i finally understood that this is the conclusion of a lot of hard work, nights of study, a lot of effort invested and sacrifices made...and i want my family (or part of it) to be there and share that moment with me...my other guest is my ex, he helped me so much these years that i also want him there...
so i have my blue gown, my mom coming and my ex...and i'm starting to get really nervous!
i'll post pics of my harry potter suit after the ceremony...with glasses and all(but with a couple of million dollars less in my account!

...and the city?

this country never stops surprising me...and not in the best way. the latest brilliant proof of israel being a middle eastern country is what happened with sex and the city...
according to reports of the local media, the municipalities of Jerusalem and Petach Tikva have asked the compnay in charge of the promotion of the movie Sex and the City to remove from the street ads the word "SEX"...meaning that the movie would be called "... and the city"!!! this is so stupid and of course there are a lot of talk backs on the local news sites against the stupid idea...but there are also a lot of comments on favor of taking out the word sex...
religious and charedim are so hypocritical! they are the main consumers of prostitution in this country, most of the cases of sexual abuse in the last months have involved religious people...but yes, the word SEX is really what we should worry about!

in any case i'm totally waiting for Carrie and the girls...it's going to be great movie!

gay kiss...

i'm still going through some crazy times, trying to be comfortable with my new "single" status, living alone for the first time and stuff... and in this new phase i'm trying to be friends with my ex...we are still really close, we eat together couple of times a week, we watch the new episodes of our favorite TV shows, we meet common friends, etc. but it seems that what i saw as a very matture "divorce", which made me proud, looks weird for all the people around me...every body still thinks there is something going on between us...and i really get pissed, i hate to explain them that we are not together, that nothing happens between us...and i guess it also makes me think there is soemthing weird there, maybe i still feel things for him?
watching this week's episode of my favourite TV show, Grey's Anatomy, with the gay and the military thing going on i realized that something had changed in me. my ex is a reserve soldier, we went thru a war together (trust me, u don't want to be in that situation), and it was really hard for me...i was always afraid that if something happened to him his family or someone would not allow me to be with him in case he needed me...well, this times the feelings were different...i couldn't stop thinking that i wish to feel that again, to feel i love so much someone that i would be ready to change places with him just for him not to suffer, someone i'd be ready to give my life for...and my ex is not that person anymore. i do love him still, but in a different way, he is like my family now, a part of my history that i never want to forget...but he is not "that guy" anymore...it is strange, sad and happy at the same time.
here u have the clip from Grey's Anatomy (it has some spoilers):
