Oct. 13th, 2011 10:53 pmI'm still googly-eyed over the news, I can't remember the last time -- at all, seriously -- that there's been such jubilation in the streets, in the news, it's been two days since the announcement and it's still hard to comprehend. And I'm still holding my breath because it's not going to be real until Gilad Shalit actually meets his parents again, until we see him step on Israeli soil, and we've been through this before and last time they lowered coffins to the ground, not survivors. It's nothing short of ridiculous that kidnapped soldier is part of our national vocabulary, that our personal histories are sprinkled with collective memories of eighteen-year-old kids who could be anyone's son or brother or friend reading today's paper as proof of life on the evening news. I remember Nahshon Waxman's tapes on the news when I was in fourth grade, and the news that the army was pulling a heroic rescue operation to get him out safe, and the news that the operation failed and the op commander killed and Waxman executed before the army got there, and the realization that life doesn't work like the movies that way.
It's not final yet. But almost, almost, and oh, while the future is uncertain, while the price paid was high, it's such an enormous relief to have this not hovering over us any longer. Almost there.

And while I'm still all O_O about it, I'm also finally able to actually concentrate on other things. Like Downton Abbey! HAVE I MENTIONED it is so lovely <333. Apparently my grandmother watched it when it was on Channel 1, ha. And also The Hour, which I am on episode 4 of, hush-don't-tell-me-anything but I am greatly enjoying that as well, for those of who who've been looking for the MI6 Cold War reporting noir thriller you've always dreamed of. I have also acquired Game of Thrones and am in the process of getting season 1 of Doctor Who, and I've watched Merlin (wow) and House (...wow? lol idek) and the first two episodes of Switched at Birth. AS YOU CAN SEE I have been having a very productive holiday /o\ HAPPY SUKKOT by the way.

Also I drew this picture of Dallon. Because:
@DallonWeekes
Bass problems galore tonight, BUT the show was VERY fun anyway. I found out I'm too old to crowd surf anymore. #myback
@TheIanCrawford
@DallonWeekes this may sound weird, but for a second when you were mid-air over the audience, I think you took on the shape of a unicorn
@brendonboydurie
Thank you, Sacramento. Tonight was a success.. meaning I didn't throw up on anyone. And I saw a unicorn stage-dive. A very old unicorn.
( hi Dallon hi )
...I am still excited about this app yes. If anyone has any prompts I can give them a shot! Or, one or two of them, since it still takes me a long time to draw anything basically.
