August 22, 2003= Mood Music and Monkey for Lunch!

August 22nd...around 2 PM

Just sitting here after coming back from "not writing"
my last two entries plus insights from this morning
after reading about the latest horror in Jerusalem.
Came back up to my room after having porridge, an
abortive attempt at train tickets-will go back this
afternoon...and immediately put on my music...I put
on Hebrew music this time and always play my MP3's at
random for the surprise effect-much like listening to
the radio, and just like on these days at home- only
"those" kind of songs are coming up. One after
another. You know the type played on sad days-no
upbeat-usually the most beautiful songs by the
way...so perhaps my MP3 is feeling my mood. At any
rate...started to put together my lunch of
pears-chedder cheese and oatmeal honey bread with
butter. I always keep one window open for air and all
of a sudden the curtain starts moving aside-thought it
was the wind for a second but it was as if it was
grabbed-looked more carefully and it happened again-
WHat? Right! a monkey was after my lunch and almost
in the room before I realized what was going on!!
