Beauty and the Beast
Writing in English because I am not at home.
I am in Goerlitz, and it's a beautiful city, I dare say more special even then Prague is. Every house seems like a work of art, and the street beam with sunshine and life.
The festival staff has also been wonderful: Our room is actually a suite, with a four-poster bed, antique furniture and a great bathroom, and it's right in the middle of the old town, looking out to a pretty square and right next to the city hall, where Osnat will sing. And yesterday we were treated to dinner in an Italian restuarant, with lots of wine, at the festival expense... the only hard thing was to talk for hours in German, including while I'm drunk. But I think I did a good job.
All this - as well as a sightseeing trip this morning and news that Yaron is making progress with poems that I wrote and he will sing at the concert - should have made me utterly happy, and it did, until I managed to screw myself up again, and while trying to work a bit on my laptop I spilled a whole glass of water provided by the hotel onto the computer.
Oh, how I got mad. I got scared, and blamed myself, and got really crazed, because my life is that computer and with the stressed times lately I managed not to backup almost anything. Even a call to my brother in Israel, who told me that usually water damage does not destroy laptops, was not really enough to calm me down. It seems that I just can't let myself be utterly happy, and just have to do something to screw it up.
So now we wait -to see if my laptop will survive this - and I can't work or use the net in Hebrew. In a way, it makes this even more of a vacation... and maybe that is what I wanted to tell myself, that I need to completely immerse myself in this experience and enjoy it without thinking about work. Why they had to hurt a harmless laptop, who never did anything bad to anyone, in the process, is beyond me.

Nature sure is a bitch.
