Yeah, the Jew Crew.

We have a convenience store downstairs in my dorm, the C-Store, and while it has very little selection you can get the basic necessities there-- milk, orange juice, hair stuff, condoms, mac and cheese, etc (what am I saying? No one buys condoms at the C-Store, they get them for free from Health Services! Or the 6th floor). So I ran out of orange juice and decided to go down and get more (sidenote: I forgot to get soda.). On the way down, this guy came into the elevator and turns to me. He asked me, "Are you Jewish?" I guess it's pretty obvious that yes, yes I am. So I replied yes and he said, "Happy Yom Kippur!" I kind of hate Yom Kippur. It doesn't make me feel spiritual, it make me feel hungry. And cranky. So I may or may not observe it tomorrow. I ask him if he's Jewish and he says yes. "We should start a club," I joke. He replies, "Yeah! The Jew crew." I ask him if he's going to observe and he says that he's going to synagogue tomorrow at 6 AM. I reply that I'm most definitely not going at 6 but I may still fast (or just forget to eat, which tends to happen with me when at school). We talk a little more and then he gets off the elevator while I continue on my way to the C-store.

This brings me to ask, do I look like the stereotypical Jew? I don't have the "Jew nose" according to friends (mine's aristocratic thankyouverymuch!) but I do have the curly brown hair and brown eyes. It's possible that he saw my Chamsa necklace and deduced that I was Jewish but considering it was kind of hidden by my shirt I'm guessing that's not it. Or if it is, I don't want to think about it. Still, it was kind of weird and somewhat awkward but mostly amusing. I guess I'm just Jewtastic.

I saw it tonight, too! It was beautiful! Sometimes on crack. Eddie was in it! Did you see??? I adore Jude!!!! And Max! So much love for them!!! And Bono and Salma Hayack are awesome for doing cameos! I need to see it again. I'm pretty sure I didn't pick up on a lot of the subtleties of the movie. We should watch it together! We have yet to watch Breakfast on Pluto together, by the way. I still haven't seen it all the way through.

I think they were using her to contrast Lucy.
It took me like five minutes to realize it was Bono and less than a second to recognize Eddie.
I want a poster with just Max and Jude on it. Lucy kind of annoyed me.

I agree....Lucy was a little annoying. Max and Jude on a poster would be cool. Max and Jude on my new satin sheets would be even better.
