Happy belated, Sabin.

Sorry to hear you didn't have any 'kittens'.

Thanks guys. One of the lamer birthdays. I woke up after a kibbutz party and was given breakfast at my hostel by this lovely Jewish couple that knew no English to speak of. They asked me if I wanted to go to the Golan Heights because it was snowing there. I said "Sure, but I have to pick up some hair gel from a different hostel because my hair is really long and horrible." They didn't understand what I meant and when I came back, they were gone. They didn't have my hair gel either. I remembered that it was in Shlomi, this residential town, so I took a cap from Nahrriya to Shlomi and they didn't have it either! And the town was shut down on Saturday so I was stranded in this bum-fuck residential town with nothing to do and the most expensive hostels ever.

So I hitched back to Nahrriya and waited until sunset and took a train to Florentine where some new friends of mine let me crash. We hung out until 5 in the morning drinking. Not a great birthday compared to what it could've been, but I've had worse. And a bad birthday is a nice alternative to none at all.

Happy birthday! By the way, just because you're in Israel, it doesn't mean you can't work on a spec script or two. United Artists and The Weinstein Company have signed an agreement with the WGA; so, at least they can buy scripts and make movies right now.

Don't I know it.

Happy Birthday, old friend! It's been a pleasure watching you grow and develop over the years (close to a decade, wow!).

I can' tell if you're making fun of me.

Uri
Oy vey. You guys are, well, clueless. Israelis tend to be rather culture-centric.

Yeah, I'm done. I'm the New York-iest Jew to never live in New York.

Damien
Ummmm, it was a joke. (And Sabin and I have a little bit of a history with Bettie Page.)

Hush. Thanks but hush.

I'm sure you'll meet other Israeli girls who don't buy into American media imperialism's Cult of the Child -- where mid to late 20's means your life is over (besides, didn't you already get some tail in Israel?) -- and even if you don't, just remind them you're American and about a little something called the Israel Lobby. Tell them they owe you or something. Or you could always try Israeli boys (no one here would be shocked, I promise you)

Thank you. And you wish.

I did in fact get some tail in Isarel but she was an American import on my Birthright trip. I got drunk with her after the sulfuric hot springs in Tiberia and she kinda gave me head a little bit. That was pretty cool.

Yesterday I saw 'Dan in Real Life' which was wonderful.

Happy Birthday, Sabin. Love reading your posts here.

Happy Birthday, Sabin. I can just hear these girls in my head with their The Band Visit kind of fracture English. You Americans of this board - count your blessings, for all you had to suffer is my poorly written English.
