Out of the Blue

this week

This week I:

-Really need vacation to come. As in, like, today. This second. Please.

-Discovered Regina Spektor. Well, not really discovered, since I’d known about her before, but actually listened to some of her music. I like it. :)

-Was late. A lot. Well, what else is new?

-Even though it’s the fourth night of Hanukkah, my family and I haven’t managed to light any candles yet. But we had excuses! On the first night, we were busy watching a pantomime. (Which is, like, totally Jewish of us, seeing as pantomimes are things you’re meant to see on Boxing Day.) On the second night, we found out that we didn’t have any candles. Oops. On the third night, we had a bunch of goy guests for dinner, so we figured we could skip it. But, to make up for all that, tonight we are totally making latkes and lighting the candles and everything! W00t!

-At Hebrew school, in order to celebrate Hanukkah, we made latkes. Yay! We spent pretty much the entire thing grating, chopping, mixing, and crushing raw potatoes. Turns, out, I’m allergic to raw potatoes. But once my eyes stopped watering and I stopped sneezing and the rash had gone down, they were delicious. Even if the teacher served them with ketchup.

-This Friday is a non-uniform day. And a half day. And the last day of school. Which always means we all go to the cinema! We’re watching “St Trinian’s 2”, which seems kind of bleh, but there will be pizza, so I’m in. :)
