Another reminder to RSS readers...be sure to make this change.
I got the call yesterday. They're renovating the building and it's time to move on. You know what means, my loyal readers...some lucky Tel Avivi could get to live with me! Who knows of a vacancy?
With apologies to David Letterman, from our home office in Bat Yam, here are tonight's top 10 reasons to live with Benji Lovitt:
10) I know how to clean the floor like a local
9) I know how to NOT clean a sink (someone still brings this up every month)
8) I can whip up a delicious breakfast that won't lead to cardiac arrest
7) I've learned that everything's gonna be ok
"They're heeeeeeere!" YIYEH B'SEDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!(This one never gets old to me. If I made a shirt with a picture of Olmert or a map of the Middle East with "Yiyeh B'seder" written below, would anybody buy it?)
6) I've mellowed out over the years
5) I can teach Israelis a few things about the New York stock exchange
4) While I may not be able to build furniture, my gever gever friends can
3) I'm over my blepheritis
2) I'll make you laugh
And the number one reason that you're all going to forward me any apartment opening you hear about or take me in...
1) If I don't find an apartment in 44 days, I'm making yerida to here
Somewhere in Jerusalem, an alarm bell just went off. LET'S GO, Nefesh B'Nefesh! HOOK A BROTHA UP!!!
44 days...the clock is ticking...JEWS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!!!!

Well, don't you sound like quite a catch! Any roommate would be lucky to have you for sure.
BTW, you can always crash at our place until you find a new place...
As Benjamin's mother, I sure hope someone can find him a place to live in with wonderful roommates. You know what it'll mean if he has to come back to the States. Oy vay! Do his long suffering mother a favor and help my wonderful son out. I can give you ten reasons:
10. He's smart.
9. He's handsome.
8. He has a great sense of humor.
7. He always pays his bills.
6. He's a mensch.
5. His has fabulous friends.
4. His father is learning to mind
his own business.
3. His mother won't crowd you or
his roommates (too much).
2. He's a terrific fellow.
1. You can get me off my blood
pressure medication.
Holy cow-look who came back to the comments after a year. This is the biggest surprise since Kimberly came returned to "Melrose Place", head scars and all.
I'm not sure if I should be embarrassed or excited; I always thought more comments from Mom would drive up my readership. I wondered if this was a fake until I saw the word "handsome". Only a mother could write that.
Collective "awww"...
Why 44 days? Because that's when the lease runs out or that's when you lose the savlanut?
When I lose the apartment. After making fun of it relentlessly, I am TOTALLY adopting "yiyeh b'seder." But it's not because I have no perspective on the magnitude of what's ahead of me...just because I believe I actually have a lot of time and that it will work out.
ZEELLLLLLLEEENEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! is the best.

again thanks for being such a funny guy
I don't know how Benji would be as a roommate, but I have shared an office with him. He was a very tidy guy. Not to mention he is a funny guy.
So B-Lo what's up? Oh, Flavia from Yugoslavia says hi.
