Lucky for me, the Senior Editor of 6S sent me a "Spring Forward, Fall Back" reminder. So did my friend Stoli. So did Verizon. So I totally remembered and I was at the gym on time and well rested this morning. It was
It's a blog world after all.
Monday, 30 October 2006 12:09 P GMT-06
Is it blogging that has made my world so small or becoming a Jew? In the normal world, we are connected to each other by 6 degrees, but in my world it seems that I am only one link apart from so many people.
I got a nice email from Elaine Solo
Single women and duvets.
Sunday, 29 October 2006 9:14 P GMT-06
I had my first duvet when I was living on the King's Road in Chelsea. Yeah, way back when I started this blog and was living in London, I discovered the world of duvets and duvet covers. But when I cam back home to Chicago, I went back to

In a few minutes I am on my way to a Yoga class. Now I'm not real big into yoga. Nothing against it. Actually, I quite enjoy how I feel at the end of a yoga class, but for whatever reason I don't seek them out. I should.

While I'm at OSRUI teaching our students how to tell a story, you can scoot over to Six Sentences and read some micro-fiction that I wrote. Well, that I distilled. In the meantime, enjoy this video.
I want to be like that when I grow up.

This year I've spent a lot of time being surprised by how nice, supportive, welcoming and friendly published writers can be. I mean, when you are me--a blogger, writer and occasional talker rarely gets paid to write or talk--published writers a

I skipped shul tonight and headed to Women and Children First for a reading. I went to see Hillary Carlip, Queen of the Oddballs and founding member of the Memoirist Collective. I ws treated to readings by Jill Soloway, Tiny Ladies and Sh

Friday, 27 October 2006 9:13 A GMT-06
Some weeks I'm a hermit and some weeks I'm a social butterfly. The thing about going to the gym every morning (or almost every morning) is that every night is free for play. And this week, play was the plan. I think I've done SOMETH
Any Lawyers in the hizzouse?
Thursday, 26 October 2006 9:07 P GMT-06
Leah, did you just write Hizzouse? Seriously? You actually wrote that word? Can you define it?
Whatever.
Do I have any lawyers who read me? My sister is in Law School and she gets plenty of advice about what type of law
Oh my. THAT'S why everyone got an iPod.
Thursday, 26 October 2006 8:17 A GMT-06
Last night, I loaded up my iPod with music and Hebrew podcasts. It was easy, so damn easy that I sat there wondering, "Why did I wait five years for this?" Then I leaned back on my couch and listened to a Tech podcast in Hebrew
Oh happy day.

Good things happened yesterday.
I retrieved my new silver iPod nano from the FedEx holding cell in Skokie. Huzzah! Thanks Ry! This kicks ass.

Thank you to the man in the red van who drove slowly by me this morning and told me that my legs are great. That made me feel much more confident about the skirt I wore. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Pity the fool.

A lot of people come here looking for The Shizzolator, whichI wrote about a few years ago. Guess what folks? It is broken! But it has been replaced with Gizoogle.

1 ) One book that changed your life: The Torah (is that cheesy?) fine, then, The Idiot's Guide To Understanding Judiasm.
2) One book that you’d read more than once: The Stranger by Albert Camus
3 ) One book you’d want on a deserted is

Top 100, top 1000, Number 1 on Google. All things we bloggers want to be. Face it, Leah, you'll never be top 100 on Technorati. But right now I'm in the top 100 for Ice Rocket.

Toilet full of suds = problem.
Sunday, 22 October 2006 11:52 A GMT-06
I heard the gurgling this morning of a monster in the drains. I've heard his growls before and watche as he caused my toilet to imitate a bidet on steroids. I figured it must have rained last night, so maybe there is a little problem.

Appreciation to Jessica for pointing out that the Hadassah article is FINALLY online. Amy Blumenfeld did a wonderful job collecting and telling the stories of many Jews By Choice. In fact, there are a lot of great articles in this month's
Sugar daddy found and he's my brother.
Saturday, 21 October 2006 11:07 A GMT-06
After begging for a Sugar Daddy to come forward and supply me with a portable mp3 player, one came foward. I was shocked when my older brother sent me a tracking number for an item being sent from China. After some Google Sluething, I dis
Old Friends
Friday, 20 October 2006 1:11 P GMT-06
I sat down with my sandwich at Potbelly's today and the musician in the loft started playing "Old Friends" by Simon and Garfunkel. I have a fantastic version of that by someone on Spanish guitar (maybe.) It kind of punches me in
That was totally easy.

You ever said something that was so hard to say. you thought your heart would explode. Then when you sat at your computer an hour later, you were shocked that you lived through it.
I'm right there. I didn't exactly plan on sayin

While trying to convince Amy not to fret over her Author Ranking on Amazon, she told me how important it is. Did you know that you won't hear your favorite author at a major bookstore unless their author ranking is over 100,000? And if it

Fake Jew dropped by and told me that he didn't say he is Jewish, he said he is Sephardic when asked what kind of Jew he is. I saw the blog a few months ago, said "what?" and forgot about it. Then yesterday I got his MySpace frie
