Rockefeller Center and me.
Thursday, 30 November 2006 9:58 A GMT-06
NBC built a lovely replication of Rockefeller Center in Second Life and this is a shot of Virtual Leah sitting under the, um, large evergreen covered with secular twinkling lights. Yes, my SL Avatar has my Hebrew name (Meira) and a yummy Japane

Good news.
Wednesday, 29 November 2006 9:44 P GMT-06
Our meeting went longer than normal, but as far as budget meeting goes it wasn't too bad. I didn't chime in with any of my peace keeping charm, but I didn't explode either, so I felt like I won a battle with my temper.
The good news is that
Guess Time Out sold their list.

Holy catalog batman! After a catalog free year or two, I'm suddently swimming in junk mail. I think I have to thank Time Out Chicago for that. I can't be certain, but I never order from catalogs and TOC is the ONLY (non-Jewish) subs

Do you live in Seattle?
Are you from the Midwest?
Do you know how to drive in three inches of snow?
Then put an ad on Craigslist and offer to drive for people. "Midwest transplant knows how to use two-wheel drive in snow and ice.
Random thoughts before I crash.

I had a long day at work and stayed pretty intensly focused, so I'm wiped out. I had my tunes, I had my groove and I plowed through some of my to-do list. I finally got on the bus around 7:45 tonight. Haven't really had a late night
Why I shouldn't move books before bed.

I had the strangest and most vivid dream last night that I've had in a long time. All I had was a gyro, it isn't like I had red alarm chile from a heartburn commercial. So here is my dream...
I get downtown early, so I have time
Introverts of the World Unite (with your couch and a cup of tea.)
Monday, 27 November 2006 10:04 A GMT-06
Curl up on the couch, introverted friends of mine, and read Marti Olsen Laney's fantastic book The Introvert Advantage. Somehow in the last year of blogging, I had an interaction with her husband Michael, but I can't figure out where or how.&nb
Brutal

I'm in the middle of a total reorganization of my living room. The bookshelves are moving and even harder, I'm cutting books. I'm actually getting rid of books. I'm letting them go. I'm tossing them into Book Heaven. No,
Hot date!
Saturday, 25 November 2006 6:12 P GMT-06
I decided to treat myself to a hot date tonight. Me, myself and I are going to see Sheketak in a few minutes. It is the Israeli version of STOMP! Perhaps there will be someone tall, dork, Jewish and single there for me to meet?
Condesing my story

Akira sent me an alert about a Call For Submissions. Two women are compiling essays on converting to Judaism for a book called What Ruth Possessed. If'n you also converted, you have 4000 words and a little less than a week to get your sto
Three years!
Friday, 24 November 2006 8:42 P GMT-06
Just a short note to say this is the third anniversary of my blog. Three years of almost daily public writing here on blog-city. What a three years it has been!

It's too scary! (Happy Feet and Chinese Food)
Friday, 24 November 2006 10:21 A GMT-06
It wasn't the Chinese food that was scary, not at all. In fact, instead of driving all the way to Chinatown from Evanston, searching for a parking space, waiting ages to be sat, and battling with waiters who might not be fluent in Engish (and m

Two new CDs, a book, and two days off
Wednesday, 22 November 2006 6:57 P GMT-06
The strange thing about sitting in an isolated cubicle up on 64, is that I don't feel the celebratory "OFFICE CLOSES AT THREE!!!" that I did when I sat on 63. I used to have a cube in the middle of a large group, populated by 20/30-so

Aw shucks, I sure hope that means what I think it means.

Two new Shebrew articles
Wednesday, 22 November 2006 7:52 A GMT-06
First a big thank you to all my friends who were interviewed for my very first article with interviews. For Love or Money? is now up on Shbrew. And the latest installation of & the Single Girl is up. For this issue on careers, y
In the meantime
Monday, 20 November 2006 7:25 P GMT-06
I have an article due last week for Shebrew, some lightbulbs orders to organize for shul, and Hebrew to study. Oy!
In the meantime, you should read my friend Akira's speech from his son's bris. It is beautiful, no surprise there.

Fox pulled the plug on the "I'm innocent, but if I had killed my wife, I'd have done it like this" book and tv special.
My new loves in London.
Sunday, 19 November 2006 11:28 A GMT-06
The iPod has changed my life. Yes. I'm sold. I should have bought one for myself a few years ago, but I didn't. But my brother sent me one last month and it is awesome. The best part has been discovering the boys in Lond
Ooh, I like this interviewing stuff.
Friday, 17 November 2006 7:01 P GMT-06
I'm working on an article for Shebrew's next release. We've beefed up the editorial calendar to posting every 10 days or so. The next article is all about careers, so yes, there will be the requisite "& the Single Girl" colu

I rarely talk blogosphere here, even though it is a big part of my job at Edelman PR. So I'm going to make a blogosphere observation, just so it is on the record.
Jason Calacanis resigned from AOL. He's the guy that was the CEO of Weblog
Running of the Jews... snort.
Thursday, 16 November 2006 10:48 P GMT-06
I don't know if I have ever gone to a movie and almost had an asthma attack from laughing. Tonight I went to Borat and almost needed my inhaler. Consider yourself warned, take oxygen, take an inhaler, expect to laugh your asses off.
Best Retort Ever

I said, "That’s it. I need to find a boyfriend to drag me off to foreign lands!"

In 2006, Christmas is the new Holiday
Wednesday, 15 November 2006 8:47 P GMT-06
After last year's boycotts and the craziness driven by O'Reilly, Christmas is back in force. I went to the Rack on State Street today and every store is RED and every store is saying CHRISTMAS. Already and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet.&

Both of the editors who read this can breath a sigh of relief, I finally looked up the spelling of the lovely fruit I had last night. I probably won't remember, but I will remember that is is specifically mentioned in Exodus and is rumored to h
