NFL WOMEN'S APPAREL - FIT FOR YOU →
OH HELL NO. How many times do we have to go over this? I just want a jersey that fits me - not effin’ bath salts with me team’s logo on it!
This is such bullshit. If you actually look at the NFL apparel, the women’s selection is disgusting. For example, I couldn’t buy a Bradshaw jersey in a woman’s fit. Look, my body is not the same shape as a dude’s. I...

To whom are you listening?
As I scrolled through my iTunes today, looking through music with which to make a “mixtape” (can I call it that if it’s really a mix-playlist?) , I realized how much of the music is by male artists. Not only is most of my library male, but the artists to whom I really listen—you know, those albums you listen to over and over again, whose tracklistings you know by...

Ruminating on Sports and Stress
It is the the top of the sixth inning. The Yankees are down by two. The Rays have a man on first and second. There is one out. If the Rays win tonight, the Yankees’ lead in the AL East race will drop down to 1.5 games, with 10 games to go.
My heart rate is through the roof. (Actually, it’s close to a normal human’s heart rate, but I actually happen to have a low resting...

I recently spent a month in Haifa, Israel studing Hebrew in a 5-hour-a-day intensive program. It was my first time in Israel. I did not get to do as much traveling as I would have liked, but that’s okay. What I learned about myself was incredible. Not only was it my first time in Israel, it was my first time leaving the country - ever. And I did more than just survive it out, I...

שנה טובה (A Good Year)
Tomorrow evening, Rosh Hashanah begins. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, beginning at sunset tomorrow evening, and lasting until sunset on Friday. Ten days later, will be the holiest day of the entire Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, meaning the “Day of Atonement.” The night before Yom Kippur is called Kol Nidre. We stand, and gently rap against our hearts as we recite a list of...

Seriously, you'd think we're past the whole...
So I came back from the library today (I think I finally have a concrete thesis topic, woot!) and caught the tail end of the Yankees’ disgusting one-run loss to the O’s (don’t get me started!) on YES HD. Which I am thrilled to have. I have never lived in a house with YES HD before, this is actually a dream come true for me. (Hey, Mom? Can we upgrade our cable package?) And I...

What this is.
This is me trying to find some way to express my thoughts. I used to have a journal on a pretty well-known online journal community, and the pace of it all, the demands of that kind of community, got to be too much for me.
However, I have a lot of thoughts. That was originally why I got a Twitter account, to write down all my thoughts, random or, well, thoughtful. But I’ve found that...
