Fortune Cookies

The day after I found out I was in the Jewish Journal, my fortune cookie said that someone is speaking well of me. The thing about all fortunes is that they have to be specific enough that you believe it’s about you, yet vague enough that it can’t ever really be wrong.

My fortune cookie today said something along the lines of “You will soon me presented with a tempting offer”. Unfortunately it didn’t tell me what to do with that offer >_<. On the off chance that this offer will come from someone I know and/or who reads this blog, make this offer pls. You never know what I will say. Now, if it’s the offer that I’m really hoping I will get, the answer is yes, so hurry up person!

The Warm and Fuzzies

Imagine my surprise when my boss showed me a copy of last week’s Jewish Journal. I never imagined I’d be mentioned in there, mostly because I’m not Jewish, but also because I don’t really do much of note. In December of last year, I found a guy’s wallet, and returned it to him. This guy happened to be Rob Eschman, editor of the Jewish Journal. He gave me a reward for my deed, and briefly interviewed me over the phone for what he said might show up in a future publication. I figured it would just be a little blurb thanking the guy who found his wallet, but imagine my surprise when my boss points out that a third of a page has been devoted to a kind act. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I’m glad Mr. Eschman is appreciative.

The warm and fuzzies are a good thing…

Communist Lies

My grandmother has a number of weird quirks. Among them, she claims that the black M&M's taste too chocolately, and that the green Apple Jacks taste different. in fact, she makes a lot of judgments about the taste of foods based its color. What on Earth possesses someone to believe that? There is no way in hell that the green Apple Jacks taste different.
