my first entry on the journal...never though I be here long enough to actually post something, it's really quiet here so it's make me nervous because there is a war in the north and everyday missiles falling around the center but Samaria stays low and my mother tells me to say “has vashalom”, spit and knock three times on wood each time I wonder aloud if it's the silence before upcoming storm....don't know if she brought this from Russia or if it's an old Jewish tradition but apparently everyone is doing it lately. my little sister was over a friend house, one of her roommates from boarding school and returned with new and improved musical taste, actually, maybe not but she came ear to ear with ‘The Dresden Dolls’, so it's all good but ‘Tapping in Vain’ is really vain...to me they sounded like sugar coated wannabe rocker kids or something along the lines...maybe the songs she loves are just like that?
