Something Familiar: April 2007
http://somethingfamiliar.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 10, 2007. Monkey Boy and two of his eight year old friends are in the back seat of a neighbors car riding home from school. Neighbor overhears this coversation while driving. FRIEND 1: I really wanted to see that movie, but my big sister says there's too much sex in it. MONKEY BOY: What is sex? FRIEND 2: You don't wanna know. MONKEY BOY: No really, I do. FRIEND 2: I'm not gonna tell you. At this point, our neighbor is pretty sure Friend 2 has absolutely no clue what sex is either.].

Something Familiar: December 2005
http://somethingfamiliar.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 31, 2005. It’s usually this time of year that people always make resolutions for the coming year. OK, I waited until the very last possible day. I’ve been busy. Sue me. People always end up choosing things with good intentions, but it’s usually things they’re not likely to follow through on. More of a wish list - except people don’t realize that with resolutions, YOU are the fairy god mother who needs to make the wishes come true. Did I say that? It’s a time to be selfish. It...Of cour...

Something Familiar: December 2006

Friday, December 22, 2006. Festivus For The Rest Of Us. Wednesday, December 20, 2006. Best Laid Plans - One Year Later. Last year during Holidailies, I wrote about the night of Hanukah on which we gave Monkey Boy and Peanut some money, and then presented them with a bunch of options where they could donate that money online. Fast forward to this year –. Sponsoring a “Save the Whales” program? Buying a bunch of chickens for a village in some third world country? After a bit of reluctance, they finally cam...

Something Familiar: January 2006
http://somethingfamiliar.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 17, 2006. I went bowling yesterday for the first time in a long while. When getting our shoes and paying for our games up front, the chiquita at the desk asked for all of our names so she could input them in their system for us. We were 12 people so one less thing standing between us and bowling sounded good. Personally, I have fond memories as a child of bowling with my family (my folks were avid bowlers) and learning how to do math by scoring the bowling games. It was a physical ac...

Something Familiar: November 2005
http://somethingfamiliar.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Too much to do at work. Haven't started my holiday shopping. The sun's in my eyes. When my friend Pooks posted that she was doing the Holidailies challenge, I came up with about a dozen more reasons why I shouldn't join in. Crazy, I thought. There's just no way. And yet, here I am. What the hell? I've never run out of things to say and I might actually enjoy this. Hope you find something interesting here. Maybe even something familiar. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Something Familiar: Most amazing TV commercial
http://somethingfamiliar.blogspot.com/2007/01/most-amazing-tv-commercial.html
Monday, January 08, 2007. Most amazing TV commercial. Get ready to be astounded by the following Honda commercial. Before you watch, read on. There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation - including the costs. Everything you ...

Something Familiar: Chinese Food on Christmas
http://somethingfamiliar.blogspot.com/2006/12/chinese-food-on-christmas.html
Friday, December 15, 2006. Chinese Food on Christmas. This is an instant classic. An original song by a Jewish boy lamenting that he has nowhere to go on Christmas. It's so true and very well done! A must-listen for any Jew who has spent Christmas at the movies. I love the way he tickles those ivories. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Festivus For The Rest Of Us.
