Actually got out of the bed at 10 am (which means the clock radio is probably playing upstairs–it was set for 11:30). That's unheard of during the current trend. Just wanted to print out my confirmation for tonight's screening then come back up and exercise. Only, I've been online for 3 hours already. How does time go by so fast? It's just email and facebook and reading the articles linked ranging from long hair for grays and views of last night's debates.
Ate my oatmeal – 'porridge' as my father used to say pedantically – supplemented with chia seeds, chopped nuts, raisins and cinnamon, and feel like i could fall back to sleep. Too bad I have to go in an hour and a half...adding a real life errand ahead of my farewell chiro appointment. Can't afford to spend on feel good treatments anymore. I'll just have to live with my scar tissue and contracted muscles with mechanical apparati and drugs.
The film tonight, The Other Brother, is the story of Israeli and Palestinian infants who were switched soon after birth. I hope it's good. It's a great idea.
I'm shocked at the Jewish response to the Rachel Corrie lawsuit. A girl who was non-violently resisting was murdered by the IDF. She is not to blame for her victimization. She was not in a "war zone" as so many have written, she was in a village of families. Anyway it's not a war if only one side has an army. I'm ashamed of the Jews who are hating so hard. Does anyone remember the Chinese man with shopping bags who stood himself in front of a tank? That tank did not run him over. Who had better visibility, the tank driver or the bulldozer driver with a window?
Shameful that as Jews who participated in peace and justice actions here in the US, more of us can't stand with an American who courageously and literally took a stand for justice in occupied lands.
