Happy Purim!


Today is typically the day on which the Jewish tradition is to drink until it's impossible to stand, but seeing as it's Monday, I did not drink. I did, however, eat a corned beef sandwich at Katz's Deli and get some dessert treats at Russ and Daughters (first time there!). The woman who weighed my one hamentashen and one chocolate-dipped macaroon was so nice! Apparently we both really like those chocolate covered jelly rings even though we can't explain why, and we both have developed a taste over time for dark chocolate. Yay!

Now I'm home and am about to continue catching up on Lost. I only have 7 episodes to watch before I'm completely caught up for Wednesday's new episode. That means I've watched 4.5 seasons (almost 90 hours) in the past month. It's insane. I'm ready.

The song of the day has nothing to do with Purim, but I discovered J. Boogie's Dubtronic Science a while ago (most likely through NPR) and I like them. Their songs have wicked grooves and make me jam on the subway. Because embedding videos from YouTube is so easy and I still can't figure out how to embed an mp3 (one of these days, I will), today's song is in video form again. Visuals are cool, you know you like it.

I love those chocolate-dipped jelly rings too. And also hamantaschen and macaroons. Once again: genetics!
