I blame weird band encounters over the weekend and inadequate coffee consumption. I'll be back to not caring what the world thinks of me by this afternoon.

Did you go back to high school or something? Because that sounds like high school to me.

It's true! That's how I feel!

Oh, that's not what you meant, is it?

In other news, I really wouldn't have thought Hebrew would make a very good singing language, but I'll be damned if it doesn't sound downright sexy!

I guess it must work for some...

Why aren't you people doing your taxes online? I changed jobs, bought a house, and cashed out a 401k this year and my taxes still didn't take 20 mintues.

Call me paranoid, but I like having all the documentation in hand, and copies of both my work and the instruction booklets to keep afterwards. I superstitiously feel it's like warding off rain by carrying an umbrella.

This is why I use HRblock.com but print out the forms and file by mail. No handwriting or math, but I still have a paper trail.

Did you change states? Cause, grr. My federal taxes were a breeze, it's fighting it out between the two states (which a, won't tell me my AGI until I enter the AGI from the other state and b, have incomprehensible forms on the service I'm using) that's driving me AR$AGTHAWIRHOFAWEOIH.

Well, fair to say I don't find the Muppet Show theme song sexy. Just this Yael Naim business.

Did I miss anything? It's in Hebrew?

I changed jobs, bought a house (and moved lots of money around to do so), lived in three jurisdictions, had a husband doing contract work in all three of those jurisdictions, . . . I took my taxes to the CPA for the first time this year because it was worth it to pay someone else rather than spending the time and frustration to do it myself.

Someone gave me the Hebrew version. I've been remembering it as Nilly. Possible it wasn't, and I'm simply associating Nilly with All Things Hebrew and Hebrew-speaking. (Except the woman on NCIS.)
