Patty cake. Patty cake. Baker’s man?
I start training tomorrow for a job at Heller’s Bakery, established 1928 (now under New Management). Training may or may not consist of wearing an apron and learning the appropriate way to ask somebody if they would like to supersize their cupcake. If you want free pastries, just challah. Apparently [...]

Since Paris and Durst both got their accounts hacked this week, I figured I’d let everybody take a sneak peek into my personal e-mail account. This way, I can show that I’m not hiding anything scandalous that you’d be interested in. Except, of course for those compromising photos featuring me and Marion Barry.
The following is [...]

Snow days make me feel guilty. So do weekends. Why? Because these days are no different than normal days for me.
This forces me to look at the minutiae to differentiate the days from each other.

Today was the day I [...]

I took several technology literacy tests today during an intense job interview for a Temp Agency.
Clearly, my life is less exciting right now than Sean Carter’s. Unless, of course, Jay-Z is currently interviewing for data entry work at a [...]

“Comics. Classifieds. Obituaries.”
That was the first sentence of a short story I once submitted for a writing contest. The rules of the contest were that you had to write a story inspired by a random Gedney black and white photo that they published in the school newspaper. The photo was from the special archives of [...]

I’ve been looking for new employment opportunities lately. In between taking practice LSAT tests, I scour Craigslist for interesting jobs. I think I found the best one yet: Fundraiser for Documentary Film.
“The film is a feature length documentary exploring Jewish basketball players and basketball’s Jewish roots.”
I’ve been trying to think of good one-liners for [...]

We watched “Groundhog Day” in our 3rd Grade Sunday School Class. My teacher had a rather unorthodox approach to teaching Reform Judaism to say the least. On this particular day, I think she was using a Bill Murray comedy as a vehicle to discuss Judeo-Christian concepts of the Categorical Imperative, though I Kant be to [...]
