Ya la la la, Happy 60th, Israel!!!
8 05 2008I’ve just gotten home from two free concerts celebrating the 60th anniversary of our country. I had such the dilemma tonight as to what to do –there was so much to choose from! One option was to stay at home alone and do nothing. Seriously, this was very tempting after attending the memorial tekes in Rabin Square last night with Daniella and Limor (and missing Tif and Idan who were still working at that late hour since it has become something of a tradition to meet up there for it these past three years
and so. after hanging out at Limor’s place for awhile, not getting home until the wee hours and then getting up very early to work and work myself.
My two more tempting options for the night were going to see free movies (sorry Sarah) or going to hear a free concert –which turned into two free concerts. Somehow it seemed more fitting to do something active (bop around) than passive to celebrate. Besides, I needed to colour my hair so that I would not look as (prematurely) old as my country and that was going to take me beyond the 8pm start of the flicks.
So I met up with Yuval, Adi and Limor at 11:30 to hear Dana International play in Park Hayarkon. We had fireworks there and further down the park in both directions fireworks displays were set off and we could hear the beat from other free concerts. Dana International, however, rocked. S/he was really fantastic. The opening act, and I don’t know who it was sadly as we arrived at the last two songs, also seemed really good.
Oh, here is yet another reason to make aliyah –you will dance exactly like everyone else and not feel bad about it. Yeah, there seems to be something in the Jewish genes that predestines us all to do the “jump up and down, occasionally wave a raised arm or two in the air, and generally look uncoordinated” kinda dance. Awesome. Finally, I’m surrounded by hordes of other people who dance just exactly like I do. Then we motored down the park and caught another concert. I think it was HaGivatron but I’m not sure –it was certainly hoppity.
I’ve retrieved my heavy hebrew computer from work (I actually did this on Sunday) and so am somewhat connected again. The tech people came out and replaced the wireless modem on Monday but I am still downloading at approximately 14kbs per second which is seriously not on. It is better than before but not a heck of a lot better. Theoretically, my speed should be 54 mpbs per second which is what I am theoretically connected at. Obviously there is a problem outside of my poor broken ibm and my modem.
My Ema tells me via email (to which I have not as yet replied –you are in the queue!) that I should charge a Mac on my visa and I won’t regret it. I am seriously thinking about it. I’m not a Mac kinda girl, always preferring the pc, but I’m thinking about switching my computer orientation. The Macs are now pretty darn kewl and from what I’ve been reading are pretty compatible with switching files from a non-Mac to the Mac — a seriously important consideration.
There is so much to celebrate — our 60th anniversary, being connected online again, no class to teach tomorrow, I’ve washed the gray outta my hair, and simply being here in our national homeland. That last is something to celebrate every day, despite all the headaches that go with it. Truly, there is no place like home.
If you’ve emailed me lately, please be patient. I’ve finished with the “in cardiac arrest” emails and am now moving on to those that only need “life-support” with the “minor injuries” still down the queue!
