My jaw dysfunction (which… Continue reading Stress Level High

A quick update

Can’t sleep. Caffeine in my bloodstream. Looking at Feb 1st apartments though my apartment lease expires March 31st. Meanwhile, I saw a place at 185th and Audobon with my name on it. Also, still reading To Be a Jewish Woman. A fabulously talented homeless man on the subway sketched a lovely portrait of me on… Continue reading A quick update

Greetings from the Edge

Chanukah’s been pretty good to me except that is until the final night. I came home to find out that my boyfriend’s little heater wasn’t going to help the below freezing weather in my apartment. Oh yea, for some reason, the heat conked out upon New Year’s. No heat, no hot water. As if that’s… Continue reading Greetings from the Edge

Monday, ah, Monday

Monday was a good day. Nothing say loving like waking up at 2pm. Wasn’t a hard day by any means. I purchased Season 1 of Firefly over the internet and had to go pick it up so my sister could catch up before watching the film based on the series, Serenity. Great flick if you’ve… Continue reading Monday, ah, Monday

Reverse Anti-Semitism?

As an almost Jew, one of the ways I find that I am lacking enormous amounts of information is when I run into the most traditional, Orthodox, well-versed, whatever you want to call it, Jews. These are the Jews who are superbly observant and do not think twice. They can summon together an eloquent dvar… Continue reading Reverse Anti-Semitism?

Low Energy, Nightmares, Etc.

It hurts to walk. Last night, I didn’t make it walking back all the way home. I made it up to 90th and Broadway before I had to give in and try to snag a cab. The cab took me to 123rd Street and charged me $10. Then another cab charged me $10 more dollars… Continue reading Low Energy, Nightmares, Etc.
