suicide bombing in the heart of Tel Aviv
We had a friend of David's over for a visit, when his celular phone rang and a friend informed him there was a suicide bombing very close to where he lives. Over 30 were wounded.
David's friend told us he uses to sit in one of the coffee houses in that street a lot. its shaking.

Thanks, Michael.
Michael Bernstein writes in his weblog about the situation in Israel and about Israeli weblogs, including yours truly and the israeli blogs webring that I run. There's also an index of israeli blogs, if you're interested.

Friday Five
I answer the questions on my Hebrew weblog, so there's no reason why I shouldn't do it here :)

1. If you could eat dinner with and "get to know" one famous person (living or dead), who would you choose?
I'm trying to pick between H.G. Wells, Dame Judi Dench, J.K. Roling, Rowan Atkinson (whome I admire) and Robbie Williams, Julian Sands and Guy Pearce (who are dead sexy).

2. Has the death of a famous person ever had an effect on you? Who was it and how did you feel?
The former prime minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin. there's no need to say anything more.

3. If you could BE a famous person for 24 hours, who would you choose?
I'll be corny and say I would like to be famous on the grounds of my accomplishments.

4. Do people ever tell you that you look like someone famous? Who?
never happened to me.

5. Have you ever met anyone famous?
not that i remember...

the very secret diaries
the very secret diaries of the characters in LOTR. Hilarious! (Some Tolkien/fantasy/sci-fi geeks may not agree with me on that, but they don't have any sense of humor anyway).
I'm definitely a hobbit-fancier.

Happy Passover?
Yesterday was Passover Eve. We celebrated at David's parents. There are many hotels in israel that hold a Passover Seder in Passover's eve. Hotel Park in Netanya was one of them.
but it won't anymore. an armed palestinian terrorist marched into the hotel's packed dining room and blew himself up. 20 innocent israelis, their only crime - wanting to celebrate Passover in peace, were murdered. 64 are still hospitalized, 18 in a serious condition.
Today a palestinian gunman infiltrated the Elon Moreh settelment and opened fire on one of the houses. 3 people were killed.

Back.
I haven't blogged for a few months, I know. I spent most of my time on the net writing in my hebrew blog, called Racheli.Dot.Net. I guess I couldn't invest time in both blogs. I'm trying to go back blogging in both languages. I hope it will be successful.
