graphic-y

on thursday night, i bought and read the first lookouts episode on my phone. aside from it being a great comic, i'm very much impressed by the quality of the app and its web interface counterpart. i heartily advise giving them a look-see, they have plenty of free comics to try it out with.

after the rollerblading last night i joined up with botchman and a couple of friends to discover what graffiti in tel aviv is all about. it was a weird experience.

when we met up, i was on blades and went into a supermarket to buy water. i was asked to leave because i wasn't wearing a shirt... i live in tel aviv, not bnei brak. what is this?! it's not that it bothered anyone, "it's just policy". i think the main reason i'm irritated by it is that the policy most likely stems from religious concerns... and in judaism, "modesty" is a personal thing that the religious have turned into a social thing. the problem is that the non-religious don't know any better, and it's only a sense of guilt that makes them pander to these foolish demands.
