Alef Bais Charts are in the movies

Really...

I was just watching Juno with Da Wife (her idea ) .

When Juno goes into to Bleeker's room in one of the scenes, there is this blue alef bais chart made of felt on the door ! Cool,eh?

Any hot new blogs out there?

I'm in the mood for some variety...

Any hot new (or old) blogs out there?

I'm talkin' interesting viewpoints, engaging dialogue and more.

Leave a comment and if I like the blog, just might add it to da blogroll.

Shmata Kugel 2.0

Mazal Tov and Mabrook to frequent "Jacob's Jokes" contributer D.S. on the birth of his daughter Hadas.

He was having a kiddush in her honor at the infamous home/shul of the "Shamata Kugel" so I rolled in for a taste.

As I was chugging a shot of Glenroth's, a shul member began to extol the virtues of the Shmata Kugel :

"Instant Heart Attack" " Goes straight to your arteries" "Ah Geshmack!"

Truly.

So what has Da Jew been up to?

"Nu, what have you been up to, Jacob?"


Let's see...in the last 6 weeks I have:

- Moved into a new apartment.

- Taken my first business trip overseas and been to 3 different foreign cities in 6 days.

- Discovered that my job is wayyyy more difficult and complex than I envisioned.

- We conducted our Sedarim at home this year. Mad Props to Da Wife as she pulled it all together.

- Got outed by "Headbanger" aka "Rivlinatorix" while shopping at Glatt-Mart Erev Pesach.

Is that ALL, Jacob?

Well, I did start a new hobby....but more on that in the next post.

Never a dull moment in Da Jew's life!

When braces aren't "yeshivish" enough

My dear brother-in-law (remember Joobs?) imparted this gem about his braces over the weekend:

" One of my rebbi's approached me and told me that I need to change my braces...why? Well, they have these green fillings in front and its "girlish", like a BY girl. "

Me: You're kidding, right?

BIL: Nope.

Hmmm. And this is what we pay so much tuition for?!?!?

Back in da hood!

I'm backkkkkk!

Miss me? Sure ya did....Right...

Well, we finally got an internet connection set up here in the house.

Lots and lots of cool stuff have been going on, will have to fill y'all in.

But for now, I'm off to visit my esteemed blogroll and catch up on all the latest bans, news and general shwag.

It's great to be back!

Moving Day and Blogging Recess

Tomorrow, Friday, is Moving Day.

We do not have an internet connection set up yet at the new place so responses to new comments and emails will be lagging.

It's been a really really long week.

'Nuff said.

Good Shabbos.
