no power, power and magic moments

When I got to the Karov today I was first and realised I could feel my way round to the lights nearly as well as in the New End which was weird and nice.

I feel a bit weird and poorly so I will go home soon. I think it is mostly nostalgia because I watched 'Sex In The City' the first movie last night and it made me really really miss my clothes, especially the pink shoes. You can read more about my materialistic moral obsessions on the After A Fashion blog. The height of my feelings is such, however, that I momentarily had to mix the two worlds.

Building the profile of the Karov beyond Israel, or getting beyond Israel into the Karov proves daily to be less and less of a mean feat and today I am exhausted. I know what to do and how to use my brain but the two are just not in tune ha yom and I don't have the koach even for Ulpan. Also, as I was leaving the house today a cockroach fell on my head.

HOWEVER. ON THE PLUS SIDE.

This Saturday we have How To Teach Communism To The Mentally Ill which I can't wait to show to Ruthie when she comes. I can't wait to show you the Karov full-stop, darling. Also, I was telling Dorit all about the things Ruthie and I have done together and we want really to build part of She London around a unique non-Jewish perspective she could bring. If you're in Israel and read this, you can come to see Communism for the special rockabilly rate of 20NIS this Saturday only. I am doing the synopses, Karov backgrounds and refreshments (sort of) in English for non-Ivrit speakers so let me know ahead of time.

Nearly time to start the application for The Fall for Melbourne. We're also looking to Russian-Israeli embassies et al to raise the money to go to Grigory's festival. Nico seems up for the adventure and Albert said he would stay in a tent. All this pleased me.

I have lots of different favourite types of moments at the Karov but one that is very strong in my mind now is the type with Dorit when her energy and genuineness show me a new type of humility I never saw before in my life. Yesterday we were talking about something to do with the program-I do not remember what exactly-and I was moved by how she related the She event to the needs of others.

Very far removed from how I used to feel sitting in certain massive theatres surrounded by wankers who wouldn't know humility if it threw up in their soup.

Goodnight x
