"We all live in a yellow sub-"

Winter has arrived to the lovely stretch of Mediterranean and Desert landscape young Mel likes to call home.
Unfortunately said winter has decided to seek residence inside young Mel's house.
Yes, friends, LJers and country*insert gender here*, the upstairs of our beloved two tier flat is partially submerged. Though the water level has lowered significantly since I put my (nice, warm, toe-sock enclosed) foot into the icy shallows of the disgusting mix of rain and drain water, with a few rotting leaves here and there.

The plumber should arrive at some point after lunch.

Antisemitism *Dun-dun-duuuuuun*!

A few days ago I was reading the blog of an entertaining graphic designer, she's a Palestinian Arab and mentions it probably as much I mention that I'm an Israeli Jew (meaning offhandedly and not always politically), which is cool. It's always good to remember that the blogosphere isn't different shades of White.
However, she wrote something that bothered me and I didn't comment, because my GDess the backlash it would have caused, and the grief it would have given both her and I wouldn't be worth it.
So I'm going to write my much longer, would be comment, here on my own little piece of the Internet.
( Cut so that all your f-lists are comfy )

Should I prepare for my own backlash?
*hides* ;)
