Argl. I would really like to write this piece for the Purim issue of the shul newsletter, but I'm not feeling the funny. The gag is that we're changing all our kiddush foods to "organically grown, locally sourced, sustainably harvested, and environmentally friendly ( Read more... )

The Purim shpiel went great! People clapped along with my song and my father's song got a great reception. People could actually hear the narrator and were even listening ::gasp::. Okay, my narration was highly mediocre but it was short, which was my main goal this year! (It went on waaaaay too long last year ( Read more... )

I'm really glad I got the nerve together to throw myself a party, because it was awesome :) So many awesome people came and the only flaw is that I couldn't spend hours with each one! Rachel made everybody sing happy birthday ::grin:: and so I stood next to Ben, because I know he can sing well ( Read more... )

In happy news, Lex Luthor stealing 40 cakes is now canon. ::hearts:: This makes me happy :D There should be more stuff from the Super Dictionary becoming canon, because it just adds to the wonderful crackiness.

In not so happy news, when asked why gay people might want to get married, straight people said they had no idea. ::blinks:: Seriously ( Read more... )

I'm so disappointed! My MIL saw the disco ball and she didn't have a conniption :( Wah. Avi wonders if (after 20 years) she's finally caught on to the fact that sometimes we do these things to annoy her. I suppose it's possible. Hmmph. I'll have to check with a couple of her friends tonight and see if she complained to any of them about it. (Most ( Read more... )

I ran into Alan, the guy running the Purim shpiel, today and we talked narration. It's mostly done, but there's a few holes. I'm going to try and fill those in today and get it back to him. ::crosses fingers::

He's done the shpiel for three years but he's tired and wants some sucker other person to take over next year. You'll be pleased to know ( Read more... )

Awesome! ::giggles madly::

I met last night with the guy running the Purim shpiel this year, so we could talk about writing the narration. (Yes, I volunteered to write the narration. Because I am an idiot, in case you were wondering.) And I was thinking that my main rule for writing the narration is the same as my main rule for writing in this year's Yuletide fandom: Snark.

Despite everything going on, I managed to finish my two songs for the Purim shpiel. The first one (which you can see mostly finished elsewhere) had the last few lines done by the guy in charge of the shpiel. I just sent the second one (which was greatly aided by several of you) off to him and we'll see what he thinks. Here it is, in case anyone is ( Read more... )
