OK, I finally got a color scheme that I like. Too pink? Tough noogies. It's not that I'm a girly-girl or anything. I just kinda thought it would be nice to use the colors I use on my website. Deal.

Here's what's going on with me....

• I want a second cat. The shelter requires a written statement from the landlord (probably a good idea). Landlord said I should write something and he'll sign it. Gotta get off my ass and do that.
  
• Work sucks. What's new? End of January will mark my four-year anniversary of working at this company. That might be cool if it meant a nice big raise. Since it won't, it means nothing.
  
• My cousin Connor's bar mitzvah is tomorrow. I remember the day he was born. I feel all old and stuff.
  
• I'm still waiting on that TiVo. My brother swears I'll have it real soon now. Yeah, right.
  
• uh... there's more.

I may be a poopyhead, but I can kick your ass at Scrabble -- even when you're sober! So nyah!

So what's the joke about the rabbi and the guy with the pin?

the joke

It goes something like this:

A rabbi is walking down the street and encounters a member of his congregation. The man looks terrible: unshaven, his clothes dirty and torn, eyes bloodshot, etc. "Oy, what on earth is wrong?" exclaims the rabbi. "Oh rabbi, it's terrible," says the man, "my business is in awful shape, I can't feed my children, my wife is going crazy from worry. You must tell me what to do."

"Well," says the rabbi, "I don't know from business, but I do know what to turn to in times of need, and that's the bible. Tonight, you go home, you put the bible on the table, close your eyes, open the bible at random, stick a pin in at random, open your eyes, and whatever part of the bible the pin is stuck on, you take that advice." "Well, okay," says
the man, "I'll give it a try."

Six months later the rabbi is walking down the same street and meets the same guy. Now he's clean-shaven, wearing an Armani suit and Gucci shoes, smoking a cigar, looks great. "You look wonderful," cries the rabbi, "tell me, what happened??" "Rabbi, it was your advice, it worked like a charm," the man replies. "Oh!" says the rabbi, "well, what did the bible say when you stuck the pin in?"

And the man answers, "It said Chapter Eleven."
