I actually had this post written up yesterday, but I lost the draft and that was that. The gist of the post was pretty much that all of the things that I predicted in my last post came true and they were pretty awesome but exhausting and now I need to sleep for a weekend (weekend? What's that? We don't have any of those in this country) instead of ( Read more... )

Deconstructing "Deaf Man in a Shtiebel"

trempnvt Nov 30, 2008 10:20

I was listening to my playlist this morning, and the song "Deaf Man in a Shtiebel" came on. This is the type of song that's written to pull on your heartstrings, and I guess it does a good job, but it is not rooted in logic. This bothers me more than it does other people, so I'm going to rant a little bit about it:

Elections

So it's Election Day...I get to vote for mayor and city council. I haven't decided yet for either...I sort of know who I'm going to vote for for city council but I really have no idea about mayor. Both of the major candidates seem really bad. So if anyone on my friends list wants to convince me, can you tell me good things about the candidate you ( Read more... )

Ahh! One of my most preferred teachers just called me a good student! And a year ago I think she thought I was lazy and/or undedicated. This news is so exciting that I decided it was worth it to update from my phone while walking to make the bus.

1. My coffee has an expiration date of 10/02/08. Do I really have to throw it out? What does it mean if coffee expires? I really hope I don't have to throw it out because it came with a free mini-container of coffee which I haven't even opened yet and it's kosher for Passover ( Read more... )

Birthday / Lyrics meme

My secular birthday was yesterday! We had ninabrujaha and Jonathan (her husband) for Shabbos, and friends for both dinner Friday night and lunch yesterday, and people brought birthday cakes for both meals (peanut butter chocolate bars at dinner, and a babka-like pull-apart cake with chocolate spread frosting and colored sprinkles for lunch). And we still ( Read more... )
