Bo’s Ilan (there are enough clues that I think that’s a reasonable conclusion) writes about the hard life of a comedy screenwriter (Hebrew).

Brick released in local cinemas
Browsing Haaretz’s site, I discovered that the intriguing movie Brick is showing in Israeli cinemas starting this weekend. Abigail saw it in the Jerusalem film festival and before that Kenneth Hite recommended it. I was skeptical that it would be released, but looks like it has. I really should go see it or something.
This is a couple of weeks old, but well-worth reading. From the Los Angeles Times: A Primeval Tide of Toxins
Runoff from modern life is feeding an explosion of primitive organisms. This ‘rise of slime,’ as one scientist calls it, is killing larger species and sickening people.

Accidents happen near home
Tonight I get home, and as I’m about to get out of my parked car, I hear a crash; I turn around and see a car finish landing on its side, less then 20 meters from where I am. I reach for my camera, then stop and walk over to take a look. All around, people rush over, crowd in to help, shout if anyone called the paramedics or the police, gather to gape at this remarkable spectacle of two cars smashed together, one on its side with 3 people trapped inside, the driver struggling to get out, a woman beside him and another in the back. The other car has a wrecked front and a woman, apparently the driver, is crying hysterically outside it. I would too, if I was in her shoes. But I’m not, so I move back, and gape as people open the booth door, perhaps trying to get the woman in the back seat out, and I go home. Disappointed I didn’t take a picture, ashamed I thought to, before anything.
