I’m not creative enough today to blog and update Facebook, so here’s my status update from earlier today, inspired by this news story. “Would like to alter my license to say ‘Organ Donor. Exception: Dick Cheney.’” …and my own comment to that update… “But come to think of it wouldn’t it be just poetic revenge [...]

The Thing That Made Me Mad Today
I have had a hard time understanding what makes people change their mind dramatically about things. For instance, I feel liberal to my core. As soon as we learned about the difference between Democrats and Republicans in History class, I remember thinking, “yup, that is what I am, I’m a Democrat then.” When I hear [...]

A time to break down, a time to build up
I do not want to write this post. My mission in blogging is to keep things light, with a side of funny. I want to write all about how excited I am for the new Presidential administration or how fantastic Marin Luther King, Jr. was. I want to re-enact things with dolls and chocolate donuts [...]

Give me your tired, your poor…
The past two mornings, I’ve woken up, and my first thought was, “is it still true?” (It is!) I still haven’t gotten over that night in 2000 when I went to sleep happily knowing Gore was the next President and woke up to the cold, harsh reality of it all. But it is true this [...]

I’m kind of curious…
I’ve made it no secret that I’m a tried and true Obama fan. And now that today is here, I feel like I can finally relax a little and admit that to even myself. (After having my heart broken by Dean and then by Kerry, it’s been hard for me to really put myself out [...]

I voted!

Boo!
Happy Halloween everyone! I hope, even if you’re not a huge fan of the holiday, you’re having a spookily good time today! Despite being slightly peeved about having to spend money on candy for random kids, I do have some fondness for the holiday. After all, there’s nothing like a good scare every once and [...]

This Weekend
This weekend, I had both a craving for roasted pumpkin seeds and a need to support my favorite Presidential candidate in a creative way. So I killed two birds with one stone. First the seeds: I took the yeild from one pumpkin, which was 2 cups, after sorting out all the gunk. I mixed them [...]

I have the accurate compass, and I discovered America
I’ve always held a resentment towards Columbus Day. As a kid, it was because we had school that day in our district, while everyone else in the tri-state area had a day off. (The fact that we didn’t have school on the Jewish holidays or the two days off for the teachers’convention did not make [...]

Friday Five
With apologies and thanks to Stefanie, for being so kind about letting me steal the Friday Five… ONE: Went to Jersey yesterday to get the radio in my car fixed. (Random buttons would stop working at random intervals.) They gave me a refurbished one which is exactly like the old one, except that it only [...]
