I sometimes check out my sitemeter to see who is checking me out - and it is not surprising that I get some really weird referrers.
Like this one, a google request for "baby food "badatz kosher ". Which in turn led the searcher to my blog post here, about the Frum guy in jail for some porn misdemeanors, who requested Kosher Badatz food.

MEME Eilat Style!
I have been MEME'd and told off for not MEMEing about my Eilat experience.
Here goes!
5 questions you don't believe you are hearing on a bus full of people going down to Eilat for the weekend.
1. Is that our land or theirs?
2. That view is so beautiful - it must be ours - is it our land?
3. How come there are mountains on the Jordanian side?
4. Is the water salty also on the Jordanian side or only on ours?
5. Can you stop the bus I need to puke (chuck, throw, vomit, hurl, barf, ralph etc....)
5 Things you absolutely have to do in Eilat!
1. Relax by the pool with trashy British magazines. How else would I know that Christine Aguilera married a Jewish guy under a Gothic Chupah in a "Jewish Style" wedding, where they served macaroni and cheese and hamburgers at the reception?
2. Eat good food, however, I highly recommend you don't stay at the Laguna hotel for any gastronomic pleasure.
3. Scuba Dive, if you can't scuba dive then try snuba and if you can't snuba then snorkling is the next best option. The fish are not to be missed.
4. Drink copious amounts of alcohol at the 3 Monkeys and dance the night away. (Or in my case don't drink any alcohol because of liver problems and don't dance because of previous week's stomache surgery. Oh well - sit the night away at the 3 Monkeys - it's still fun in the right company)
5. When all else fails - Shop - but remember it is only 16% off so no need to rush out and buy a kitchen sink.
5 Things not to do on your weekend in Eilat
1. Sit next to stupid people who ask stupid questions on the bus.
2. Sit next to the person who needs to throw up on the bus.
... Okay, I lied, that just about covers it :)
Believe it or not I actually had a great time - and I was well looked after by my roomy the beautiful PP!

Men! Sigh!
So my husband has been going on at me for some time that he wants to see the movie Crash. I have heard good things about the movie so I wasn't too concerned.
On Saturday night it was showing at Cinemateque in Jerusalem but to be quite honest I find it very hard to go out on a Motsei Shabbat when the movie only starts at 9:30pm. And anyway the movie was also showing Tuesday night. So we made our plans for the whole week around going to see the movie last night (Tuesday).
When we got there we had only a few minutes to spare for buying tickets, then rushed into our seats - movie about to start - when my husband declares! Oh no, it's not the right Crash!
It turns out we had bought tickets to see the Crash that came out in 1996, not the new one. Fortunately, Cinameteque were kind enough to refund our tickets and even more fortunate that the 2 friends I had called and arranged to come to the movie with us could not make it in the end.
Oh well... We enjoyed a hot cider in the restaurant and went home to bed - which is where we should have been on a cold Tuesday night anyway :)

Why do it when someone does it so much better?
I was going to write about my weekend in Eilat but the ever-so-sexy Purple Parrot did such a good job of it here - that I decided to save my blogging time for more serious things.
and....
I was going to write about my experience with going to see the new Harry Potter movie (which was brilliant BTW) - but Shaya did it so much better here!
So happy reading.

Pizza Capers
So I have to write about this very funny thing that happened to me the other day!
I don't often eat junk food but here I was alone at home - no food in the house - no energy to go out and buy something to cook and sporting a very rare craving for Anchovie Pizza.
I call Pizza Hut - but they don't do Anchovies!
I call Pizza Mai - but they don't do Anchovies!
Pizza Meter - same!
Pizza Sababa - same!
In desperation I called back to Pizza Hut and begged the guy to go across the road to Super Moshava (the supermarket across the road) and buy me a can of Anchovies and I would pay for it. Surprisingly they agreed.
40 minutes later my Pizza arrived with Sardines all over it :)
At least the cat enjoyed it.

I got this when trying to view my blog this morning (Nushworld.blogspot.com)
! You are not authorized to view this page
but....
"If you believe you should be able to view this directory or page, please try to contact the Web site by using any e-mail address or phone number that may be listed on the Nushworld.blogspot.com home page."
It's amazing!
It's Amazing - what inspires me to take 5 min out of my busy schedule to blog!
Well actually to say this is inspiration is going a bit far - I have in the past blogged on my feelings about James Blunt here, now Purple Parrot has blogged about it.
All I can say is that I heard his new screecher this morning and it has "inspired" me to stock my car up with all my old CDs from now on, instead of suffering any more James on Galgalatz.

One person's clutter is another person's treasure
Never has this been more true than this morning. I came downstairs to head off to work. I was running very late - which inevitably means sitting in horrendous traffic for 30-40 min longer than it normally takes me to get to work.
I live in a fairly decent, you could say upperclass, neighborhood. And as I got to my car I noticed a disheveled man poking through the bins looking for clothes/food. He had a few plastic bags on him already filled to the brim with other people's shoes, clothes, discarded kumkums. It was a cold morning, and even though I was late, I remembered that I had a box-full of promotional T-shirts from the company I work for in the boot (trunk) of my car. I took out a few of the shirts - I did not think my work would mind too much - and I went and gave them to the man. "Shakran Shakran" He was soooo grateful.
I had just returned to my car when a thought came to me that I am always complaining about the clutter in my apartment that needs to be cleaned up. I have a huge iMac box full of my husband's old clothes that has been sitting, tablecloth draped over it, in our lounge since the day after we got married. I have a cupboard full of old dishes that the previous owner of our flat left when she moved out. I have a suitcase full of old blankets and pillows that a friend gave to me to "look after" when he made Yeridah and never came back! Everywhere CLUTTER CLUTTER CLUTTER !
I went back to the man and told him to come back tomorrow at lunch time and I will give him clothes and blankets and dishes and food - he "shakraned" me a few more times and now I have the daunting task of dealing with the mess in my apartment that I have been meaning to take care of for sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long. But it's all for a good cause!

It's been a while
My husband asked me to re-instate the iPod song of the day - so I am forced to admit that I have not blogged for a long time and that I miss it. Mine is not a problem of nothing to blog about - rather the opposite - too much to blog about. I am overwhelmed with stories, links, emotions, thoughts that I wish to write about and quite frankly cannot find the time for.
I am happy to say though that I am getting better. Except for the small matter of some surgery I am having next week - which may just give me enough time to catch up on my blog reading and writing.
I am also happy to wish Rampisad a very happy Happy 60th Birthday. Abba you sure are getting old! :)
Anyway - not sure if anyone even bothers to read it - but it is the reason I am now blogging again - check out the iPod song of yesterday on the left-hand-side.
