The Lost Ann-Mi

At Ben Gurion Airport

Ohhhh… so tired. I wish they had the flight service they offer in the film “The 5th Element”, where you spend the whole flight asleep. I could use some of that now.

I’m so happy that this isn’t the flight where I have to spend 8 hours at the airport between two flights.

The security was so thorough that I am now confident that nothing I carry is explosive. Especially not my laptop, which they dismembered and removed the batteries from.

Also, my shoes appear to be safe.

In fact, the only thing they didn’t check was the liquid in my suitcase, and my makeup.

Time for travel

I’m going to go home for Christmas for about 10-11 days, depending on whether you count the days spent traveling as home or not!

There are no direct flights, so I spend anywhere between 8 to 14 hours traveling (excluding the train to the airport, and the two to three hours extra-early I have to check in due to the stringent security measures in Israel.)

I think it’s crazy to have to spend so much time traveling to someplace that is in the same time zone as Israel. I suppose it’s not the longitude that matters this time, it’s the latitude. Southern Finland seems to be about 30 degrees north of Israel.

I have a feeling that -3 to -5 C is going to be a shock for my system. I’ve gotten used to the “cold” winter here in Israel, which dips down to a shocking +13 C. <insert cries of “zomg” here>

Is there a country out there that has the Finnish summer and the Israeli winter?

I am looking forward to a (possibly) snowy Christmas however. A green Christmas with 20 C doesn’t feel quite right.

A sketch and the final piece by the Italian brother duo, “Ekoes”. These are found on Terrible Yellow Eyes, and you can see the third (equally cute) picture there too!

I think I&#8217;d be scared to sit in this chair&#8230; All the little details are so lovely! There&#8217;s a tutorial on Design*Sponge on how to make your own Patchwork Chair. I wish the pictures were a bit bigger, they&#8217;re so luscious!

Ok ok, the last muppets video for the day (unless they release another one today!)

One of my favorite Christmas carols… as performed by Beaker, Animal, and Swedish Chef. Enjoy!

A very epic rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody”, Muppets Style

A very neat, and pretty music video. To be honest, I like the music on its own plenty too.

Have a look. :) It makes me want to travel. The special effects are simple and beautiful.
