Dear Anna, I hope the d**n bad period is going to end really soon. Not a good period for me too and sometimes I almost think that people who come here don't share just that funny obsessions about Noah but something else... Maybe, I hope, he's just preparing himself for the new shoots or maybe he's just busy with his private life. Really? Isn't it TOO SHORT??? Maybe we could add something else.... Untitled VERY SECRET Alien INvasion Project by Steven Spielberg Which Is Going To Stay That Way Until People Here Will Get Crazy While Waiting For Some News AND A PROPER TITLE. ;D

Anna and Raffy, I'm not so good with cheering up words, but I hope all turns better soon It feels really long now because we got used to more regular news, but I really don't think there's anything to worry about. We had in the past long periods like that too before he was back on ER last year... I'm sure he's enjoying some free time before filming, and it's rather good news that he can do so without any paparazzi bumping into him . Yeah! the former version was definitely too short! ;D

for flick, Raffy, Claire and everyone. I guess a hug never hurts! (awww, thanks!) But that just shows how misleading the internet can be, I guess. Actually, the last word that can be used to describe me is bubbly... unfortunately I'm not usually the most cheerful person, and I've been struggling with depression for most of my life. I guess the stress makes it worse, and the last few years have been very stressful, so here we are. But hopefully things will get better soon. and super mega hugs to Raffy. I know, it's almost scary sometimes how in sync we all are. If I were someone who believes in mystic powers, I'd say there's some sort of influence that Noah has, like some sort of higher power, that brings us together. Or maybe it's just a case of similar tastes that extends way beyond our liking of a certain actor. No news is good news, huh? Hmmmph. Yeah, I guess... But still...

I guess it's no use for me to say that I probably won't be online for the rest of the week . I was suppose to go to Denmark tomorrow for work (no idea about an internet connection there) but I guess that won't be ... Anyone else here with consequences of Eyjafjallajokull (I admit, I copied and pasted that )?

Aww, that sucks! I'm sorry you won't be going to Denmark, Claire... Well, the hotel I work in is based mostly on tourists from Europe... 80% of the occupants are groups of tourists from Germany, England and France... And obviously there are lots of empty rooms right now. So now with the workload cut in half, instead of at least five shifts a week, each of the waiters (and kitchen staff) is lucky to be getting two. And my mother is supposed to go to Italy in a week... She sings in a choir and they're going to be performing in some Jewish community ceremony in Milan. It's a huge deal for her- she's never been abroad, she can't really afford to take a trip on her own, and she's always dreamed of visiting Italy. Now she's wandering around the house depressed and anxious... Also, how the hell do you PRONOUNCE that volcano's name? The first time I saw that name I was like "well that looks like someone got really mad and just started pounding on the keyboard randomly!"...

Aww, that sucks! I'm sorry you won't be going to Denmark, Claire... Well, it was for work, and I can't say I'm sad not to go... I just don't want to get stuck somewhere!! So really rather not leaving at all... Oh, I hope she can make it next week. I imagine things should be better by then... That's really an astounding example of how we cannot control all . LOL!! Me too... or I imagined it was an invention by the same guy who gives names to Ikea furniture. I just know "ll" is pronounced something like "tl" That doesn't help much.

Good luck to your mother, Anna. Hopefully next week the problem will be solved.... LOL ;D Italian TV anchormen don't even try to pronunce it. They just say the Volcano with the unutterable name

Here in Holland we can fly again! We had 'the flying Dutchman' for a reason! Haha! Today the first planes took off again and a couple of hours ago planes were allowed to fly in the dark again too. Our minister of transport and lots of Dutch scientists and plane/weather experts said the decision to hold all air traffic was to radical and unnecessary and finally they listened! I hope Israel and other countries will follow soon enough for your mother and her choir! Follow the Dutch! Haha! Well, I actually practiced (I have a weird thing of always wanting to be able to pronounce weird words/names so I can impress people ). It's a hard one, but I managed to do it the same as some reporter from Iceland (I assumed he new the right way to pronounce it ). This is how you say it: ay-uh-fyat-luh-yoe-kuutl-ul If you want to practice with a nice song, try this

Thanks for song. Now we can practice!
UK flights resumed this morning, but it's still chaotic. I'm pretty sure that Anna's mum will be able to fly next week. I do hope so. I sing in a choir so I will be thinking of her.

Watching the news is becoming incredibly depressing and scary. Anyone have an extra ticket to a less middle eastern location, maybe, just in case? No? I hate this f#%$ing country.

I don't want to get into politics here. Just to say that I feel for you and for all in Israel and Gaza. It's difficult to see where peace will come from, but both sides will have to agree on something one day.......
I hope it isn't too hard where you are

Not as hard as some other places, I guess... But then there's always the increasingly real possibility of things escalating into a war. And you know things are bad when you can't avoid the politics, you know? I try so hard to stay away from everything political. Maybe there are places where you can do that, and if you live in such a country, I envy you. This country is always doing stupid stuff, but this thing- it's like I'm stuck in a battle between good and evil, and all I see is hate. Half of my friends hate the other half of my friends for not being "patriots". There's a wave of nationalism that borders on racism. And if you're Israeli you hate the arabs, and if you're arab you hate the Israelis, and since it's people that I know and love, I just can't comprehend how it's possible that it's always been there. It can't be possible to hate an entire nation. It can't. You like or you don't like individual people, that's all. It just really sucks being able to see both sides of the picture. It's much easier to be blindly patriotic and say "well their media is wrong, we know, because OUR media is right"... Ugh. Politics should have no business messing with everyday lives.

I feel bad for you, Anna and I don't know what I could say...
I agree. Unfortunally I know many people who "judge" or "hate" just on the basis of "different politcs". I talk about politcs just with few people who are quite smart to respect me even if we don't agree about all.

Hi Anna , I have been wondering how all the trouble affects you . Easy for me to say but we have to believe there will be a solution, hopefully it won't be too far away.

Anna, I was thinking of you too... I hope things get better real fast.
That reminded me of some things Noah said on Hollywood Clout after reading the article by Muntadhar al-Zaidi (aka the shoe thrower... ). I don't have time right now to search for the real quote but it was something going in the direction "how politics and war affect people in their everyday lives is the only story that should be told"... (that last part I'm quite sure of, I can hear Noah's voice saying it... ).
Decisions by the military and political leaders should really always be about everyday lives, about how it affects people's lives, and not about abstract ideas like patriotism, or about economical interests.
I really can't find a better way to express it than how Noah had put it...
