Just link to it.

I should be chopping up potatos and leeks for my soup (and will in just one minute) but wanted to write a bit first. 1.  In writing my first article for a magazine that will be in print (or if not in print, in PDF), I am constrained by word c

My friend Pinny has a new channel on YouTube with some adorable Cupid on The Street interviews.  This Rabbi out east sent me an email today, The Fly Fishing Rabbi.  He's a nice rabbi, you should read him. I found out about a new volu

In which we discover that in addition to a frozen sense of humor, my trope has some problems too.

Sunday, 28 January 2007 1:48 P GMT-06
Other than being overly sensitive to strange viral marketing, I also am having some trope memory challenges.  I'm studying with my cantor for my bat mitzvah (March 17, 11:00 AM, be there or be square) every week or so.  As it creeps closer

Not so much.

I opened a profile on Koolanoo a month ago while I was working on an article. And after seeing their newest attempt at viral marketing on YouTube, I;m considering closing my account. Seriously, it is so offensive and just

February 5th.

Saturday, 27 January 2007 12:58 P GMT-06
Alrightythen.  February 5 is just over a week away and that's the day I'll be getting my heart checked out by a doctor.  According to Dr. Mom, I might have mitral valve prolapse.  According to Dr. Google, I might have tachycardia.

My heart's going boom, b-b-b-boom, slosh.

I did it.  I schedule a doctor's appointment.  In fact, I schedule two.  First with a dermatologist for a mole that suddenly morphed into something not so molelike (and while I'm there I'll chat about my avocado allergy that presents a

"ASK ME, UH-HO-HO, ASK ME" (a meme a go go)

Wednesday, 24 January 2007 7:20 P GMT-06
Amy, the author of Three Fallen Women and blogger and friend, started a meme today and I, um, tagged myself. "Here is how it goes... I'm going to answer the five questions my friend asked me. I don't tag you. You tag yourself. If you want

I've got a new article up at Shebrew!  It is another "and the Single Girl" essay, this one is Trope & the Single Girl.  And you should regularly swing by TalkShop and JewishFringe, too. (And I even have a small article in t

This, I need. Singelringen

Wednesday, 24 January 2007 11:45 A GMT-06
I don't usually lust after jewelry, but this morning I found the Singelringen.  A lovely blue ring to be worn by the international singles community.  It doesn't mean you shun marraige, it means that 1) you are single 2) you are committed t

Go Bears! (and Colts)

Sunday, 21 January 2007 5:06 P GMT-06
As much as I don't follow football, I turned on the TV a few minutes ago. There are still a few minutes left in the 4th quarter, but it is clear that the Chicago Bears are going to the SuperBowl. That's pretty cool. To celebrate, y

Damn.

Doing a run around the house with a garbage bag thing, I found a photograph I'd lost a couple months ago.  Damn it.  And of course to accompany the finding of the photo was music he'd recommended.

Sunday, 21 January 2007 2:13 P GMT-06
It all started with a text message to The Shalvster, asking him if he had a show last night. I realized with a bit of a start that I did not need to mope around my house another night. (Truth be told, I mostly stopped moping around on Tue

Shabbat without your shul.

Friday, 19 January 2007 9:28 A GMT-06
Sometimes I forget to be grateful that my shul is standing.  Sure we get some graffiti from time to time, but never any major vandalism.  Not so in Israel where a shul was burnt this week.  Not to the ground, but many books and Torah s

Goodbye Ayn Rand

Monday, 15 January 2007 10:47 A GMT-06
Last night, I put Atlas Shrugged through the shredder.  When I read it a couple years ago, I tried desperately to find redeeming qualities.  Why?  A dude.  The dude I wrote about on Friday.  It was a book I hadn't read, he ha

Well then, that's over isn't it.

It is generally accepted that I'm a smart girl.  In almost every area of my life, I'm smart.  I make good choices, luck seems to follow me.  One area that I'm inexplicably incompetant is love.  Seriously, it has baffled friends an

A tale of two photos.

Thursday, 11 January 2007 7:41 P GMT-06
I interupt this hiatus for a post. I'm not saying the hiatus is over, I'm just bursting at the writing seams and have to write. What about? A tale of two photos and an experiment on MySpace. The two photographs below, Exhibit
