Siege of Gaza? What about the Siege of a West L.A. Mall?

Oh man.....so less than 48 hours left. What's new?

1) I'm sick. Really really sick. Okay, technically I'm not actually sick. Wait, actually that's a lie, I am sick: I have a really bad sinus infection. But it's actually the medicine that I'm taking that is making me FEEL sick. The doctor is afraid I'm going to be in agony on the flight so basically I'm taking like 5 different drugs, ahhaha.

2) WHERE THE HELL IS THE FUCKING U.N WHEN YOU NEED IT??? They keep trying to call Israel's defensive military operation a war crime, when in reality the only war crime Israel is committing is sending out fleets of post-army Israelis to sell hand creams to Americans who DO NOT WANT YOUR FUCKING HAND CREAM! It's especially annoying because I am, in fact, allergic to a lot of creams/laundry detergent/whatever, and sometimes can have really painful skin reactions to it. Today was priceless though, because when some Israeli tried to sell me some of that Ahava shit, I said, "Sorry, I can't, I'm allergic...."

And here is her response, completely un-edited:

"No no no no no, no you are not allergic."

WHAT???

We then had a conversation for the next couple minutes that went something like this:
Me: Yes, I am.
Lady: Can I ask you a question?
Me: Um....okay.
Lady: Let me spoil you. [Not actually a question, lady....]
Me: Uh.....
Lady: I spoil you now (starts trying to put hand lotion on me)
Me: (squirming away) Really, I am.....I....I....I gotta go!

Seriously though, based on our exposure to Israelis, anyone who had never been to Israel would think that everyone in Israel sells hand creams.
