Did you notice how the Korean KIA cars changed their name in the commercials? A couple of years ago they used to go under the name k-EYE-uh, but now they're k-EE-uh. I remember how someone once explained to me that their name had to be changed in Israel, because of an unfortunate word resemblance with the word for "vomit". I guess they're over that by now, huh?

BIBLICAL, adj.

Very great in extent; enormous (e.g. "I'm gonna bring the whole fuckin' diseased, corrupt temple down on your head. It's gonna be biblical." - from Law Abiding Citizen, the movie).

As some might have guessed from my previous post, I took one day off this week, and went up to Jerusalem for a tour of the city walls. It's a fascinating promenade, which gives you a glimpse into people's roofs and backyards. I only walked the northern part of the wall, but there's also the opposite side, which I saved for another visit. A few photos.

Made it into the top-10 card senders in Israel. 167 cards in less than a year. Yeeha!

After stirring the contents of the composter a bit, I discovered some huge roaches running around the box.
Doctor, is that normal?
