That's scary economic news, Hil.

This country is going to need a cute little curly-headed triple threat to keep our spirits up, n'est-ce pas?

I can probably say the in the U.S. Jewish jewelery would relate to religion, while here they relate not only to specific type of Jews, but also to specific political stand. I don't have any Jewish jewelery: hell, I find it hard enough to wear my heart necklace (which I find very pretty) in case people would mistaken to think I'm a romantic fluffy person.

Jewish power beads (ugh -- fad that lasted about a week), a mezuzah necklace (made by a Judaica artist in New Orleans)

What are Jewish power beads? And the mezuzah necklace sounds awesome - could you take a picture of it? I can't imagine it.

Also, for those who are interested: Tom Purcell, the head writer on the Colbert Report, would be tomorrow (your today, already?) on a radio show I'm usually listening to on 1pm PST, on this link. A word of warning: the show has it's share of offensive humor.

Jewish power beads -- OK, regular Power Beads were a fad about five years ago. They were bracelets made of beads of semi-precious stones -- amethysts, coral, turquoise, a bunch of others -- and each one came with a little card explaining what sort of mystical power that stone had -- like some were relaxing, others were invigorating, others would bring luck, and so on. Then someone started selling Jewish power beads -- similar-looking bracelet, but the beads are light blue glass, and there's a Hebrew word written inside each one. There are four different bead words -- Mazal (luck), Chai (life), Ahava (love), and one that I spent a while puzzling at before realizing that it was Gelt.

I don't recall buying this, so I'm guessing my mom got it for me. There's a picture here [link] .

I just have to say: I'm sitting dead tired in uni right now, and I'm wearing a skirt, knee-high, and a shirt without too much of a cleavage. So, opening all those links? People are gonna assume I'm religious.

Well, I may be dead tired, but I might as well go and write a paper. It's not like I'm gonna get any sleep in here. sobs

Oh, that reminds me: I got an official apology from my friend's boyfriend as well. In the shape of a lollipop.

My camera's being a pain and won't let me take a picture of the necklace, but basically, it's a really really tiny mezuzah scroll, rolled with the printed side facing out, inside a little clear tube (Lucite, maybe?), with silver decorative caps at the top and bottom, on a silver chain.

Hee. Acceptable apology?

Night!

Acceptable apology?

How could I not forgive? But still, tired...

But still, tired...

Maybe I shouldn't have checked bitches before going to bed.

Yeah, remember what I said about not blushing yesterday? Forget it.

Night!

Wish I was. hence that not really in bed yet.

You just want me to order you to go to bed again, don't you?
