Open Left:: I Don't Know How Many More Progressive... →
Nothing like heading into a new decade already feeling defeated.
I need a life coach.
Or a guidance counselor. Or somebody to explain to me exactly what to do, there are too many information streams and I seem incapable of separating my logical and emotional brains. Why can’t therapy be every day?
Me: I like that breakup album.
Tim: Who are you?
Me: Dinah.
Tim: Who are you?
Me: I am Dinah, your womb twin.
Tim: Don't text me again, I have no idea who you are, stop it.
Conclusion: Tim changed his number, I really freaked some guy out.

Virgo, December 28
In times of crisis or extreme business, you tend to take on extra work in order to make it easier on other people. Sometimes you are recognized for this self-sacrifice, and sometimes not. This time you will be.
Just payed 19 bucks to see Too Much Light, which is worse than the worst possible dice roll. On the other hand, it was awesome.

Big Gabe: She's taking a fifth year to finish school, on account of her triple major.
Dinah: Being?
Big Gabe: Theater, Psychology and Gender Studies.
Dinah: This sounds like overkill.
Little Gabe: Yeah. Gender Studies is essentially just Theater and Psychology anyway.
If you're havin' quidditch problems, I feel bad...
I got 99 problems but a snitch ain’t one.
Is it possible that High School was fun?
Just helped my sister write horoscopes for the entire cast of Macbeth, which is what passes for 9th grade Honors English homework these days. This sounds more or less like something I’d do in my free time now. I miss school.
Christmas on shabbos makes for tough planning… matza ball soup or ma pao tofu? Movies or mitzvas? Culture v religion death match.
Family planned a trip to the gym this morning. Ended up at World Market, Ruby Tuesdays and the movies instead. Typical.

I have been pinning an unhealthy amount of hope on the Mega Millions.
Near-death experience unrelated to today’s 200 mile drive. Finkelstein luck at its finest. Pictures to follow.
On the road home! Call in the next four hours if you feel like keeping company…
“Up in the Air, beyond its unnecessarily cruddy cinematography and its garish...”
– Nick’s Flick Picks: The Blog
Nick Davis, you are so good at finding nails and hitting them on the head. The perfect antidote to that Times review, and one hell of a single sentence capsule.

Obama admin violates judge's order, refuses to... →
As the article points out, reasons this is bullshit:
This is the president supposedly spending all his political capital to ensure Americans get access to health care.
This is the president who was going to quit overreaching with executive powers like, say, not unilaterally overruling a judge’s decision without the normal appeals process, etc.
This is the president who campaigned against...
buh bye
critters:
I’ve decided to discontinue this blog. It’s been a good year, and I wish you all the best in 2010. You can follow me on my personal blog, if you are so inclined. I may post the occasional critter there. But if you need your daily fix, I recommend KidsKidsKids.
Peace out!

Happy Solstice to All
Here’s to more light, more energy, more hope, and lighter hearts in the coming weeks and months. There’s something wonderful about the moment when things can’t get any darker, so here we go.
“They are ordinary thieves.”

Another statement that boggles the mind! The five men arrested for stealing and defaming the Arbeit Macht Frie sign from Aushwitz are being described in the papers as “common criminals,” just stealing this historical artifact loaded...

– Shakesville: Army Gets Tough on Pregnancy
There are no words. The government finds another way to punish women for being women, with pesky things like reproductive systems.
And that’s what we call supporting the troops.

I think just hit "angry."

Nice and toasty from dinner with nrr, show with ms ruhl, now cuddling up with maggie gyllenhaal and the cat. Excellent day of ladies.
Date with my girlfriend Sarah Ruhl! Nothing but love.
