emptying brain onto blog

first of all, funniest email i've received yet at the OU was this girl trying to determine if hemp seeds are Kosher for Pesach.

second, i'm getting married in 12 weeks, and it seems so far away.  i'm so impatient and jittery...

third, more fun with sociology:
i'm doing HW now about hwo to conduct studies and how to determine what the conceptualization process was behind a study we were presented with.  it's cool and all, but i find that i can no longer use english to express myself.  weird.

nice engagemant party last night for bayla and JJ.  if you weren't there, you should have been.  mmm...  i'm hungry just remembering what we ate.

it occurred to me as i struggled to sleep last night that i will be giving brachot to my friends at the wedding, and i shoud sit down and think about what i want to say to each.  mission of th next few weeks is to get that all thought out.

k, back to HW.  btw - avraham is totally the cutest person ever.  well, right after me.  *grin*

also, if someone can explain to me what this trackback thing is...  ??

procrastinating

it's amazing how fascinating eveyrthign gets when you have a shitload of work to do.  ooh! look!  i have fingernails.  must inspect them a while, realize it's 2:38 PM and i'm not going to get my homework done at work tomorrow, realize i have an engagement party @ 8, give up, take a nap.

it's amazing ive made it this far.

gtg, there's a particle of dust dancing in the light that seems to be mesmerizing...

i have soooo much to blog about, and no time.  gr.  i'm totally taking a 3 minute break from work, cause i need it, and i miss blogging, and ...  hi bloggy blog!  i'm in a v good mood, not sure why.  my sweater smells like fried food, which is definitely helping.

ah, thoughts on starsky and hutch - what a great movie.  i thoroughly enjoyed it.  the great clothes, the beautiful cars, the beautiful girls, the awesome music...  for once they made a movie which wasn't making fun of the show so much as celebrating it.  thank you, than you, thank you.  everybody walked out laughing.  so nice.

now i run away

Ides of March

It's documented by far greater writers than I that March 15th is not a prosperous day for history.

This article testifies to the same.

late night @ work

conclusion of the day:

dumb ppl should not have access to email.

pre-pesach surge in funniness as i respond to consumer questions here in the Kashruth dept.  hehehe...  You people trust me to tell you the TRUTH.  hehehe

when telemarketers get desparate

ever heard of adnoodle.com? didn't think so. turns out, telemarketers will now pay you to listen to their shpiel.

i actually considered signing up. til i remembered that i hate telemarketers. (sorry shomo!)

thoughts

my father just showed me a news item that was far more serious than anything i've been talking about lately (cardinals, the passion)...

nava applebaum's family used her weddding dress to make a parochet for kever rochel. i think that's beautiful.

(from the JTA)

(JTA) - Victim's dress becomes Torah cover

The wedding dress that an Israeli terror victim never got to wear was remade into a curtain for a Torah ark. A ceremony Thursday will mark the transformation of Nava Applebaum's dress, which will be used at Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem. At the ceremony, the Kever Rachel Fund will establish a fund for Israeli couples who are having trouble paying for a wedding and the costs of setting up a house. Applebaum was killed on the eve of her wedding, along with her father and five others, in a September 2003 suicide bombing at a Jerusalem cafe. Checks for the fund can be sent to Kever Rachel Fund, P.O. Box 1181, Teaneck, N.J., 07666.




back to less serious stuff, the fight rages on between mel gibson and abe foxman. so stupid... rumor has it that mel wants to make a new movie, this time about the maccabees, and some smart dude suggested he do bar kochba, and ... who cares? he'll do what he wnats, and we can't stop him, we can only aggravate the situation. why does it matter so much if he makes a ridicule of our history? don't we all watch (and secretly love) the 10 commandements, green goo and all?

ppl need to chill

thoughts for the day, and out...
