 Burnt Toast and Toothpaste
picture7 Aug 2005 @ 10:22
My amazing brother, Larry Weinstein, and his firm Rhombus Media are responsible for another heart/mind bliss experience.

In "Toothpaste" and "Burnt Toast", relationships are examined in short 5 minute vignettes. Words sung in opera, text poignantly true to what happens in our strange little lives - glorious in their magnitude of a moment and ludicrous in their miniscule point in the overall road of history.

Alexina Louie wrote the music and Dan Redican scripted the words. Larry directed and I enjoyed the entire series.

Toothpaste has been on the short film circuit for 4 years, and Burnt Toast in part or whole, will probably show up somewhere near you, very soon, on TV or in the cinema.

If you get a chance, watch it. You'll laugh. You'll cry. Your heart will be taken by the music and the insight into your lifetime experience.

excellent. 5 stars. yeah!

 Maimon gets through to Eurovision Song Contest final

Israel's Shiri Maimon got into the top ten at the Eurovision Semi-Finals.

Her dress was exquisite, as always. Israel always does well in its couture. The song was a song, in my opinion, but sung well with plenty of heart.

 Kassam rocket fired on Western Negev
picture19 May 2005 @ 03:15
Since the announcement that evacuation of Gaza is definitely taking place, a few events have occurred.

For one thing, there have been more bombs fired on the Western Negev. Sderot, the town that has suffered a number of rocket blasts has been back on the receiving line.

Last evening, the explosion was very loud as I sat here in my kibbutz house, and we're located too far from Sderot to hear what's going on there.

I'm not sure where the rocket landed, the papers won't give out that much detail to the attackers, but no casualties were reported so chances are that it landed in fields very close to us.

Another event is the Gush Katifnikim trying to rally support for not leaving. Are they insane? They should have left years ago, way before the country voted them to get out. They've been in the middle of a quagmire for so many years, intentionally sticking their thorn-selves into the sides of people who want their land returned.

So driving home from Be'er Sheva, we passed a group of religious kids trying to convince drivers to tie an orange crepe paper streamer on their radio antennae to show solidarity.

Unbelievable! Don't they get it? The fool's paradise is long over. We must get out of there and fast, before Israel finds itself encumbered any longer by the facts of this ludicrous geographical blunder.

I can't believe it, people. Sorry I can't provide pictures right now, but I'll search.
