Really?!? Bill Maher Under Fire for Tebow Tweet
According to a recent Huffington Post article, “Twitter continues to swell with a flood of complaints against comedian Bill Maher in response to a particularly scathing Tweet the outspoken television host made about Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow during Christmas Eve’s Broncos-Bills showdown.”
Now, I haven’t been a super-active member of the Twitter community for...

Chanukah, Night 6
I love that there is one Jewish United States Supreme Court Justice for every night of Chanukah.
And, if we went in order, tonight would be my baby’s night.
Ohhh, Ruth. Happy Chanukah!!!

Grief
by فروغ فرخزاد Forough Farrokhzad (1935-1967) (translated by شعله ولپی Sholeh Wolpé)
Like the disheveled locks of a woman the Karun river spreads itself on the naked shoulders of the shore. The sun is gone, and the night’s hot breath wafts over the water’s beating heart. Far in the distance the river’s southern shore is love-drunk in moonlight’s embrace. The night with its...

Win
Every Christmas Eve, at the synagogue, we have Chinese food and movie night. Tonight, the movie was Mr. Saturday Night, starring Billy Crystal.
Heading to the synagogue, I asked which way was quicker — the main highway or an alternate route. I had directed the question at my mom, but dad answered. He answered, “this way,” meaning the highway, so I asked louder,...

Mission: Love - Say Anything (Part 1)
So, I’m a pretty open-minded person. That’s why it kind of bugs me when a friend of mine with good taste in music is obsessed with an artist that I don’t like. The artist in question is: Say Anything.
I know my high school self would have listened to a song by Say Anything and dismissed it as trite emo trash. Well, I’m a little bit older now and should have definitely...

2011 in Music
After consulting my last.fm account, my iTunes, my YouTube likes and favorites, what I’ve retained from memory, and my own personal bias, I have come to the conclusion that I’m ready for a Music Awards-type-thing. And, since this is MY thing, I do what I want.
Albums of the Year (2011): Wounded Rhymes by Lykke Li Let England Shake by PJ Harvey 50 Words for Snow by Kate Bush The...

My Dead
by רחל המשוררת Rachel the poetess (Rachel Bluwstein) (1890-1931) (translated by A.Z. Foreman)
They alone are left me, they are with me still, In whom death’s sharp knife has nothing left to kill. At the turn of highways, when the sun is low, They come round in silence, going where I go. Our true covenant is one knot naught can sever. Only what I lose is what I have forever.

Death
A Facebook friend (acquaintance) from high school died, today. He was in a head-on collision with an 18-wheeler on his way home from college.
I would definitely say “acquaintance” is a perfect term for our relationship. We were both involved in the honors programs at our primary schools. He was a year behind me, so we would usually see one another at academic competition meets, or at...

UNO
Just taught dad how to play UNO. He won, the first time.
Dad: That was boring. Me: Yeah? Dad: Yeah. Me: Why? Dad: Because I’m still wearing clothes.
