Why does all the good stuff always happen during the Jewish High Holidays? Gossip Girl is taping on my street tomorrow and Tuesday, which I would probably go straight to Hell for picking over Rosh Hashanah services. That is, if Jews believed in Hell of course.
And, spoiler alert. I believe the GG location shoot in Hell's Kitchen can only mean Serena gets punched in the face by a crack-head later in the season. Hope she's wearing the traveling pants when it happens.

I've just returned from my childhood friend Caryn's wedding, which I have to say now wins the award for most unique wedding I've ever attended.
Now that I'm a Jew among many in New York, I often find it hard to explain that, yes, there are other chosen people spread throughout the country, and some even live in the midwest. And while Ann Arbor certainly has an amazing Jewish community that I'm proud to have grown up in, I don't think anything could prepare me for Caryn's farm wedding complete with bluegrass band, chickens, hay, wheelbarrows and more organic/locally grown/fair trade food than my body should ever have to digest ever again.
As Woody Allen noted about relationships "they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs." Caryn and Matt will most definitely have eggs to last a lifetime. Both figuratively and literally.
Mazel Tov, y'all...
PS - If you're looking for some really unique baby gifts or even want to pamper yourself with all-natural, homeopathic products, check out Caryn's website ARTEMISIA!
I just got back from a preview test screening of TERMINATOR: SALVATION, the much anticipated prequel to the Terminator trilogy.
Generally, I hate spoilers, but I can't believe the direction they went with the film, and I feel the need to share the plot with my readers.
In the year 2018, the lucrative technology corporation called Skynet continues to be run by former president Cindy McCain. When a series of malfunctions on military weaponry supplied by the organization turns on its operators, a conspiracy is revealed going back to the formation and funding of Skynet. Cindy is really Syn-D, an android prototype hellbent on the destruction of mankind. Now, only serial killer Patrick Bateman is Earth's last hope for the salvation the movie title promises.
Apparently, I've been so busy in my office this past week that I completely missed a group of midgets in Chucky costumes walking around my hood. That would have scared the shit of me.
Anyway, it's for the 20th Anniversary of CHILD'S PLAY, now on DVD. That makes me feel really old. Does this mean I am too old to play with murderous dolls?
You'll recall my non-endorsement for Obama earlier in the year. At the time I was under the delusion that Bill Richardson had a chance at being the Democratic forerunner. Now I realize he has a better chance being the spokesman for Chipotle.
And, as I am not yet ready to endorse either candidate for President, I just want to be perfectly clear that any reader of this blog that thinks Sarah Palin should be allowed anywhere near the White House is clearly a Nazi. Or some sort of book-banning, evangelical nut-case. I wouldn't even let Palin on the White House tour if I had that power. There's a nice Caribou Coffee across the street I'm sure she'd feel a lot more at home in. Bring your own Caribou optional...

Vader with boobies. What will they think of next?

I wanted to give a shout out to Pete, a long time reader of this blog who is starting 11th Grade this Fall.
