Blog-Worthy Information

I had been planning on writing an entry today, at the request of a friend, about the Jewish holiday Simchas Torah, that occurred this past week- the holiday where Jewish singles from all over the world crowd into the Upper West Side, then into a few synagogues on the Upper West Side, then into a party in one apartment on the Upper West Side. Then I was thinking to write about my reconsidering getting married on a secluded beach, because on the train back from New Jersey today, I heard a girl talking on her cell to a friends about how rude it was of a third friend to expect all of the friends to pay to participate in her destination wedding. But the hot topic of the day, or the week for that matter, was the fact thaton the way back to my apartment, I passed by the candy store on 97th and Broadway to buy my frozen yogurt, but it was mysteriously shut down! The metal shutter was drawn, and the black awning had a huge square cut out where the name and logo once were. It was kind of eerie-looking in the dark. This is very upsetting to me, and I am determined to find out what happened to this regular pit-stop of mine. I am imagining they lost a lot of business due to the Tasti-D-Lite nearby. If anyone has any information, please pass it along!

The Answer to One of Lize's Great Mysteries

Here is the reason I eat so late at night. It's because sleep is so damn tiring!

It's Been a While

I haven't written anything for a few weeks now, and really for no particular reason.. Because I've been too busy? Too happy? Whatever the case may be, I am back, writing once again from my hometown of Montreal. I came here for 2 weeks for a bridesmaid stint at a close friend's wedding, and to spend Rosh Hashana with my family. Here is what I have learned in the last week:

1. Working from home sucks, mostly because you spend more time corresponding with coworkers over IM and email than doing actual work.

2. Canadian TV sucks even worse than American TV. At least I have been able to catch up on old episodes of CSI.

3. The clothes here are more interesting, the shopping more fun and less of a nuisance trying to push through crowds of people.

4. There are mayoral campaigns going on here too- for Montreal and the smaller cities and towns. The campaign signs are out of control!

5. My niece is very cute.

6. I feel even more strongly about getting married on a beach.
