a big favorite of my mom's side of the family. benny bell was played a ton when i was growing-up. i didn't speak yiddish myself back then, so they would translate for us kids.

here i am (again)
wow, a lot has gone on in the past 8 or so days. i mean, so much goodness going on in my life w/ family, friends, etc. very much digging & appreciating it. here're just a few highlights:
last sunday i participated in the mp3 experiment #9 on governor's island w/ my friend stacey & her family. the official video'll be out in a couple of weeks. my friend stacey's got the photos we took on her phone & camera. when i get my hands on 'em, i'll share & write more about the experience.
this past thursday, i spent the afternoon w/ my great-aunt jita walking around the west 20's in & out of the rain. we saw a few great exhibits, including one based on the marx brothers. we also stumbled upon the salvation army & picked-up some neat items.
last night was tres cool. so against my usual nature, i threw a lia sophia party at my friend amy's place in honor of my birthday that just passed. a very amazing group of ladies -- most of whom didn't know each other -- got together & had a darn good time. (think of lia sophia as the tupperware of jewelry parties.) i can't thank amy enough for lending out her apartment for the event & running the whole thing. & to all my friends & family who were able to make it -- & those who tried, but couldn't. i'm so not a social creature, but these people can bring me out of my shell any time they'd like. below is a picture of my birthday cupcake -- i made 18 of 'em for the party:
alright, i'm heading out w/ carl to get something to eat. may it not be a really long time till i post again.
[update, 7/22: did not go out like originally planned. instead we ordered in chinese, watched "batman begins" & then "the dark knight" on TV.]

insomnia
[found this in my "drafts" -- it was rather late when i wrote this a couple of nights ago & i completely forgot about it until now.]
claire's at camp. carl's in TX. i'm on my own & can't sleep, so i'm scouring the internet for items of interest, like this song that i used to sing to claire when she was a baby:
& there's no special meaning behind this one. i'm just tired & have the beatles on my mind b/c of the last song:
is this really appropriate for wee ones? "mama, just killed a man... gun... head... trigger. now he's dead." yeah, not really, but i still like this & all those other rock n' roll lullabies.

one last thing about my birthday
here are some picture from "fuerza bruta" -- thanks for sending them to me, carl. the two of us saw the show together on sunday night to celebrate my birthday. just getting around to posting them now. i guess 43 isn't going to be my year to stop procrastinating, eh?

baar baar din yeh aaye
tested carl's patience just a moment ago on the following:
due to it being my birthday, he was rather generous & let me play it twice before he walked out of the room & went to do dishes. so, thank you, carl, for that, the card, the whitefish & everything else. my birthday's rocking & it's not even the afternoon.
