So yesterday I was working with Candy, and she must have had a very surreal experience, because it was surreal enough to me, and I knew what was going on. The Chabadnik rabbi came in, said hello, asked me to say the blessing and the shehecheyanu, and then blew the shofar for what seemed like an inordately long time. And then wished us a happy new ( Read more... )

(MAH KARA?)How about these thunderstorms, huh? That's one a day for the past three days and it's *still* not getting any less humid. Oh, God, when I stepped outside my building today and was just whacked in the face with that wall of humid HEAT, it was only by a supreme effort of will that I didn't just turn right around, go back inside, crank up ( Read more... )

No cheerful squeeful Leora today. Blame it on the weather, and on the fact that I am still reeling from Torchwood COE and that feeling won't go away anytime soon. I'm doing well, considering- I manage not to think about it too much, and I'll settle comfortably into denial eventually, but until then the grief is rather crouched in the background ( Read more... )

So I hadn't been to Symphony rehearsals for over a week, due to... well, individual reasons, y'know. Each M/W/F I would have woken up just a little too late, or moved too slowly here or there, and then it became just too daunting a prospect to walk in late when I hadn't walked in at all the past five times, and I would resolve (again) to show up ( Read more... )

So I have a shiny shiny new iPod speaker system, with radio and a clock beside, and the sound is great and it's all just very shiny. It was my present for finding the afikoman, which I did in like a minute, hahahahaha. It was folded inside the drapes, and apparently Aba had insisted that it was too hard and I would never find it and HA. Too many ( Read more... )

WTF

I CAN UNDERSTAND IT

WTF, WTF

AM BLINDSIDED

ALSO THAT IS SO TOTALLY AWESOME

goodbye.

Eema is fond of telling me, in exasperated tones, that God loves me and only he knows why. This phrase appears whenever something ridiculously unlikely has happened that just happens to save my ass from whatever trouble I'd gotten myself into. Snow days when I haven't studied for tests. Her being free to give me a ride when I miss the bus. ( Read more... )

So apparently Carlos Botero went to the Raphael Jimenez School of Awesome. It may be a bit early to tell, but from here it looks like if Jimenez = King (and he does, forever) then Carlos Botero may very well = Prince ( Read more... )

so there's some movie, I think it's computer-animated, with this SCARY AS ALL HELL cow that eats people. Swallows them. anyone know what I'm talking about?

Dinner:
-sweet salad, with gorgonzola and strawberries, greens and sweet dressing
-sweet potatoes in brown sugar sauce
-challah with butter
-apples with honey
-tenderloin with onions shallots ( Read more... )

Have downloaded the full version of Banned From Argo off of iTunes, and probably my best purchase ever, because YES ( Read more... )
