Hello A,
This is Damka , come to think of it, this game in proper english called checkers i was completly unaware of that.
I was researching about this place and I stand corrected, this place is actually called YMCA Peniel and not Tabcha. The YMCA Is actually a hospitality place to pilgrims, it looks really beautiful in the inside.
I’ve been there only once during my grammar school almost 13 years ago...

My studying are going pretty much ok, the medical field is pretty interesting though like I wrote previously, the studies even for being qualified as a medical secretary (what I’m applying for) are really hard. I got a final exam after Passover in April 11, I know I’ll be doing well in it but it’s just stressful a bit.
The body is really complex and everything works like clockwork, although sometimes it’s not. You can really see how the human body is complicated by say checking an atlas for the human body, this sort of book is really helpful and very interesting to read an explore.
My work is ok, it's been a bit stressfull lately, lots of work before the holiday.

My mom still hanging around with friends from Russia and watches the Russian channels. She is still very much connected to her past and always tells me stories about it so it’s nice.

Mika is very talented, I really enjoy listening to his music it’s very catchy and funky.
A friend of mine is going to see him on concert next month, I’m really excited to hear what she will have to say.
I’ve been doing some music research lately for a message board I’m part of, me and a friend trying to relive the music board there by putting bio’s of the most influential bands of our time. She is doing a research on gothic music and me on 60’s & 70’s rock music, so far I wrote about Pink Floyd, Beatles, The Who and Led Zeppelin.

Speaking of boards and my internet addiction, I can’t even remember how I was a year ago without my computer and internet, I mean I got a Myspace page, livejournal blog, 2 forums that I maintain, 3 forums I am a member, a fansite , soon will have another forum and a possible site. it's an addiction that has become an obssesion really, clearly i'm less online now because of school an work but still it can take over your life...in a way.

Shakespeare is great, love reading the plays and of course i've seen Romeo & Juliet. Baz Luhrmann's way of making movies is very unique, have you seen Moulin Rouge? i think it was such an entartaining movie.
I promise i'll watch Casablanca soon, it's really silly of me not to watch a piece of cinema history.
Oh i hope you'll like Walk On Water, its really a great piece of Israeli cinema, sorry it took a while till it got there.

A few weeks back i have seen a biography on the history channel about Andy Warhol. It seems to me that he was someone who certainly was outcast but also tried hard to be different and do things that are not usual and might be hurtful to some people. With all the criticism he got back then, it is silly that after he passed away the public gave him a legend status and all of his artwork became very well known. He also was responsible for discovering one of my favorite artists, Nico.

I remember seeing Matt Lucas in Shooting Stars here on BBC prime. It was so funny to see him there and later watching him on Little Britain. What a transformation.

Today is an important football match between England & Israel part of the Euro 2008 games. I'm not a fan of football but i think i'll watch it and try to understand what's going on ( no clue at all).

Well i gotta go study so have a nice weekend

Mici
