some reflections about the israeli art

I had todayprobably the most boring classes ever... It is called the 20th Israeli art. The art itself is not that boring. The way professor presents the topic is so uninteresting people can imagine. We are sittin in a room, the windows are covered, watchin' the slides and she is talkin so slow, so strange (although I like the british accent her is really horrible). I don't want to be unfair - she has a huge knowledge and probably she likes what she does but she is not tallented enough to present the art. The result sie achievs unintentionally is that I am not interested in the Israeli art almost at all. Fortunately some of the artists defends themselves pretty good - like Adi Nes or this blog. It will be continued...

gonna be difficult?

Well somethin has started... No one knows how it gonna be. Next few days will show. Thing we can be sure of is that IDF will respond strongly and surely to every act of aggression against the State and its civilians. As it respond already. Israeli Minister of defence Ehud Barak: "We have no choice, the time has come for us to fight ". To read more please check comments by Amos Harel and another one. Interesting thing to me was to hear from my host that the place where I live is only 70km from the border with Gaza. Israel is a small country indeed. The second thing as well interesing as the first was to hear the far sound of the jet engines flying above in the sky.

If you find links which I provided already not enough here you have some info from CNN and al Jazeera .

Okay let's change the topic. This is a very good commercial. worth watching till the last second.

rain

Today it was really stormy here. It has started to rain yesterday and today almost during the whole day it was pretty much the same. Kinda monsoon rain - wall of water you can get totally wet in couple of minutes. It is nice untill you're sittin in a nice cozy place with roof and big windows so that you can watch what is going outside. When you go out you feel strange, sky is grey all the time some rain falls, wind blows really strong and it gets cold very fast.

There are two kinds of rain in Israel one is necessary and welcomed with happiness, the other with fear and consternation.

But to change the topic I suggest to listen to this band:

Or if you want to listen to something more traditional:



what is funny that totally by coincidence I have to write a paper about the Jewish Calendar and Channukach itself, so rigth now I am sittin and browsing a few hundred of pages looking for some inspiration and information.



Meanhwile I read about the situation in Israel when the cease fire with Hamas has come to an end. Nothing nice... http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1048368.html

I'll be back




tomorrow Im going to the south - for the second time during the last two weeks. It took me a while to be back here, but I hope from now on I'll fast mention about all the events which occured till now and all which will happen in close future. It is all because Israel is so crazy and fulfilled with unexpected moments and experiences.
