The 24 hours period have just ended! I am now done with the showers, and thought I’d sit down and write since I haven’t done so recently. Mark and I just returned from (unholy) Tiberias which lies right on the Sea of Galilee (called Kinneret in hebrew, and isn’t really a sea, rather a big lake.)
So, what am I doing in a holiday town with Marko? Our buddy Avner invited us to his wedding, which was in a cool private beach at a place called Villa Melchett. We had such a good time. I’ve stayed at the party for about 6 hours before heading back to the hotel (next wedding I’m bringing a tent and saying the whole night!) The entire gang crashed there for a great trance party. I missed that. I was back at the hotel watching Diggnation and sucking on my diet-sprite.
Sometimes it amazed me how simple our lives are. We are both very busy people, and even though I don’t attend an office on a daily basis, I still feel very stressed out and with absolutely no free time. Can’t remember when I watched a movie for the last time..
Tiberias is about 2 hours drive from my home, and is generally referred as Abroad. Lifestyle there is completely different, the ride involves gorgeous farming landscapes, it was just pure heaven.
So, 24 hours are over. 25 non-spam emails were waiting for me on my gmail inbox and I’m writing this blog entry before I open up vim and start coding for a living again 
One cool link I’d like to post today, is A Daily Film Appreciation For Long-Takes. I Recently took a course in the university named ‘Understanding Movies’. It won’t teach you how to become a producer, director, actor or even a static. But it teaches you the patterns that make movies tick. At some point during the course, the teacher showed us several one-shot movies, and some long-takes. I appreciate these so much as the tiniest bit can fuck up a lot of time and money on everybody’s expense. One film that I love in particular is Children of Men (I vote this one for Top 10,) and thankfully it is covered in the long-take appreciation post (see link above.)
Okay. Time to work!
Snakkes!
