We were on TV !!

Israeli Channel 10 invited us to be guests in the morning show today. Avri Gilad and the other presentor asked us questions about star wars and about us, and made us look like complete geek, but, since we are, and very proud of it, no harm done.
I tired asking for a copy of the show, but they charge 50NIS for it. I’ll think about it when i get back from London…
YAY !! LONDON !! In two days we’ll be vacating, eating, drinking, enjoying, meetinf stars and having fun !
but up until the flight i need to finish something like a gazzilion stuff, including a lecuture about Leonard Nimoy who we’ll meet tommorow at the Tel-Aviv Cinemateque..

I hope that 128M+128M+64M+32M will be enough for all the pictures i want to take in london. I know they won’t be. I’m guessing that probably the convention alone will take take much space, but each 128 costs 140NIS, and i already bought one memory card yesterday.

So many things happen in the past week, which has been crazy CRAZY CRAZY week that i’m utterly confused.

For instance, we found a impounding note on our door two days ago, which claimed that they’ll break in our apartment and take all the stuff unless some guy called “Rom Li” will pay 150,000 NIS.
I had to spend half of my day going to the govermental office and filing up a petition that i’m the rightful resident of my apartment and not that jerk who gave my home adress as his.
All i wish for is that creditors won’t come and sweep clean my apartment while i’m gone…
I have to finish working on my presentaton for the nimoy lecture.


I’m also sure i forgot to pack something REALLY important…

Live long and prosper !!!

A long nice weekend

AHhh… long weekends are the BEST.

Though i didn’t get to do all the things i wanted, specifically i managed to play very little star wars kotor2.
we did however manage to catch the fireworks on independance eve, attend a pancake brunch on independance day, watch the star trek enterprise final episodes (notes about that below), make a late independence day barbeque (pictures coming soon).

I love fireworks. A friend of mine, Ariel, recently did a fireworks operator’s course.
I’ll do one myself once a new one opens.
We saw two firework shows and heard a third and forth. The second one was better and i though to myself how the show could have been better if i’d program it, and wether or not there are softwares to program the firework shows more exact, (i’m sure there are, but that there can be even better softwares) and if you can synchronise fireworks and music perfectly like they synchronize the Tikva and 4 airplanes in the Air Force pilot’s course ending ceremony.

A word about Lee’s Laptop.
NO BODY EVER DO BUSINESS WITH NATI SAKAL ! they are a bunch of cheaters ! Read Lee’s story at her blog But the point is that her laptop havn’t arrived yet.
and it’s been over 35 working days (over two whole months) since she ordered it. They were suppose to have it delivered within 21 days, and they didn’t.
now i’ll post some text in hebrew so the search engines will know to link here.
נתי סקאל הם שרלטנים רמאים שאינם מספקים את הסחורה שהבטיחו כלל !
אל תעשו עסקים עם נתי סקאל
וזהירות רוב המכרזים באיטנרנט של מחשבים ניידים מפנים אליהם !

again stay away from Nati Sakal.
I hope google’s no 1 search hit for Nati Sakal will lead to either me or Lee’s page, but i’m not worried. If you search for them you are direced to numerous sites that say VERY BAD things about them, their service and even the EXACT SAME SITUATION we are in, with all their failure to supply stuff we already paid for over two months ago.

I’m waiting to see how our lawsuit against them will be.

After having to smell tons of barbequed meat over independance day, and having gone to a vegeterian package brunch on the day itself, i decided on friday i MUST eat some barbequed meat.So we went to the supermarket, bought some meat, and coal, and an oven (mangal),
called up some freinds who also bought a lot of food, and we all gathered at Hayarkon park and ate and drank and had fun.

Lee’s mood suprisingly changed for the better.
Astrid made me a wonderful birthday gift which i only got yesterday at the barbeque.
It’s a small statuette with the phrase:
SAVE THE BUGS, Don’t check your code

It’s sitting comfortabbly on my work desk making my co workers laugh.
THANKS ASTRID !!!

I took some pictures of it, you will find them in the hall of pictures once i am done uploading them, along with the barbeque pictures.

I didn’t upload them yesterday, because i needed my bandwidth urgently to use for something.
No, i’m not downloading any episodes of any tv show illeagally.
on a completly diffrent subject:
The last three episodes of star trek enterprise, and some say, last episodes of star trek.
They weren’t bad.
The last episode which was a nice cross over between Enterprise and Star Trek: The Next Generation, was nice.
There were some nice shots of the enterprise D, which looks diffrent in that high res, HDTV format that we saw it in.
But, you could see how much the actors who play Riker and Troi aged up. Jonathan Frakes gained some weight, and looks distinctively older.
And the whole deal with killing Trip in such a stupid way, was really useless and redundent.
There wasn’t any point in killing him, not like Data, or Spock.
I know a lot of fans are angry at that.

Anyways, This month, May 2005 is packed full of meaningful sci-fi event.
With Star Wars, and Star Trek coming to thier end, The hitch hiker’s movie, and leonard nimoy coming to Israel, and finally, us attending a star gate convention in London, all in all, this has been a very evenfull and exciting month, which might lead to a long dry anti climatic period after wards.

Stay posted…

More Star Wars one liners

I had another good one liner to write about SW:ep3, but then i bumped into this and forgot:
http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/?t=archives&date=2005-05-13

Ohh !!!
And there’s a new dvd edition of Space balls !!!!!

Have you noticed how much good torrent sites are getting sparse these days ?
What the MPAA achieves when closing sites down is that for each good and orgenized site they close, about 10 new bad sites come to life, and then we have to choose from them which one to get our favorite tv shows from.
I, of course do not illeagally download any copyrighted material nor infringe any copy rights, nor should you !
