Good news

Well, I had some bad and some good news with y story submissions. The bad news were the usual rejections for a number of my stories, both in English and in Hebrew. The good news, I'll tell you in a couple of weeks when and if they are final :)

Heroes vs. Villains

I've watched the first episode of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains last night. It looks great on HD and is shaping up to be a great season. I am not going to spoil it to people who by any chance are reading this and haven't watched yet. I am just going to mention that I was surprised at some of the choices, as well as the placement in tribes (I mean Cirie should definitely be with the villains). After saying that, it's going to be a very good season, I hope. They already did things in the first episode that hadn't happened on any other season (sorry, no spoilers :) )

Final 16

I watched Maccabi's game yesterday (I also did last week). I purchased an on-line subscription for sports programs from the Israeli TV. Can't say the quality justifies the cost, but I haven't found a good alternative yet. Anyway, the game was good, though not as good as last week. Maccabi looks to be gaining momentum and maybe we'll still see them in the final 8 this year. This is something I wouldn't have guessed after seeing their group.

P.S. Way to go Omri Caspi. First year in the NBA and a roockie Allstar. I hope I'll be able to watch the game

Study upates

Well, I got a letter from Prof. Dzenis last night. It looks like the situation will be resolved within a week. Just a little more patience

Bli Panika contest

Sorry for not updating earlier. I had finished and sent off the translation to the Bli Panika translation contest. Can't say I enjoyed the book excerpt too much. Pretty heavy handed, imo. Maybe it's just this chapter. I am not going to put up this translation at my translation web site because I am currently in the process of deciding how to proceed with it. Once I do, those who are interested and actually stumble on my bog/sites would be able to read it :)

Still Alive

I am still alive, if anybody is following this blog.
Sorry for not posting for along while. I'll update soon. I promise. Really, really :)
