So after picking Rosh Beytza up from the airport and dropping his bags back home, we went for a drive around Lake Leman and the alps, just to show him who's who and what's what. He enjoyed the view, and I got to show my feeble control of the French language and of the geography of the area off. Then we ate pizza, and went to see the Last Samurai. I enjoyed the movie--its pacing was just right and managed to convey the essence of Japanese thinking, that's still relevant today. The editing annoyed me a bit--too much use of slow motion and placing wide shots where they don't belong, just because they look nice, but all in all, I really liked it, despite the fact that it had Tom Cruise as the hero. But what really made my day was the cinema itself. Instead of going to the Balexert like we usually do, we went to a place called Hollywood, and despite the cheesy name, it's a really nice place;
We bought four (Rosh Beytza, my father, my brother and me) old style tickets, that were kept in a small tin box, and after waiting for several minutes outside, we walked in to a very small lobby, with one door at the far end leading in to the only screening room in the theatre. Yes, ladies and gents, it had only one screening room. I am very much in love with that place.
Plus, great news, I saw some Van Helsing posters in the lobby, which looked cool. Hurrah for vampire movies---one can never have enough. The cheaper the better.

Friend:
אח שלך הסביר לי איך באת לעולם
Me :
אז הוא סיפר לך על השמיים, שנפתחו, על הלהבות שבקעו מהאדמה ועל המקהלה המלאכית ששרה שירי הלל?
Friend:
לא.
הוא סיפר שאמא שלו ואבא שלך עשו סקס
Me:
שקרים
Me:
מעולם לא קרה

Opera IX's female vocalist annoys me so much.
You can actually hear they only keep her for the sex, because she sure can't sing.

all I ask for is a nice, long, witty, intelligent conversation.
It feels like I haven't had one in years.
