Oh, Yes I did!























So on another one of my journeys through the world wide web I stumbled across this magnificent find. A Spock Barbie Doll!!! Now, for those of you who have known me for a while, you'll remember my obsession (deep obsession) with Barbies and now having that mixed with my main man *faints. Oh I'm definitely prospering today my friends, this bad boy was on SALE! $15!

The Green Hornet - Trailer

The trailer for the new Green Hornet movie debuted last night (see below). I'm not really sure how to feel about it. I can't figure out WHY Cameron Diaz has to be in everything! She isn't hot anymore and is truly ruining a lot of new movies for me. Also, I adore Seth Rogen but I think he's a little soft and squishy for a super hero. As a whole, I think this movie lacks the testicles that Iron Man possesses and will probably be a renter for me.

Jew and Improved













For as long as I can remember I have had a fascination with Judaism. I am just in love with the spirituality, community, humour, attractiveness and basically everything that is involved with being jewish.

I ran into this book on one of my frequent trips to chapters and it seemed right up my alley. Its Benjamin Errett's story of when he converted to judaism for his wife. Not only did this book teach me a lot about the jewish faith but it was pretty darn funny too.

Errett's wife is an illustrator and designed the cover and also illustrated the chapters. I have to say this book's title and cover design made it quite the head turner on the subway.

Now to be honest this story is not the most riveting thing I have ever read. But I learned from it what I hoped and that was to get a better glimpse at what converting to Judaism is all about. Now if I could only find my jew in shining yamaka, then maybe I can get the ball rolling.

For an example of Errett's humour see his Bubby Blurb below:
