Jewishy-Jewishy...
Live!!!
Over the last few days I've been approached by two guys who may want me involved in radio... Two DIFFERENT guys from two different projects. So, I've been asked to pitch radio stories. Isn't that cool?
The odd thing is that both are Jew-ish-related, and in both cases I'm feeling bad about how little religious content I've been posting here. I think in part because my dayjob is so G-d-centric that I don't WANT to think about religion online as much as I used to... I don't WANT to mull it over here. I want to escape it here.
That's sad, and so makes me happy to be finished with Hillel in a few days. Happy I'll be able to pore my G-dly self into JewishyIrishy and HALF/LIFE. Happy that MY religious life will (once more) be about ME and not about the overly-entitled college kiddles.
Especially with all the death and babies going on this month.
I actually WANT to think about G-d. I WANT to figure out WHY I feel compelled to name my child something archaic and Jewish, and how I'll handle the interfaith bris, and why I can't reconcile myself to my grandmother's refusal of last rites. I want to read the Torah each week, instead of handling the catering and the room requests and the liabilities for on-campus candle-lighting. I want to write poems... which is, as much as Torah, about G-d for me.
So thank you radio guys! You've helped remind me of someone I should be, used to be, am still.... the Jewishy-Irishy Semi-Shiksa Supreme!!!!

Wow!!! Super Duper WOW! That sounds amazing... and knowing you in person as I do, I can vouch for your beautiful, soothing and sexy voice. Call me soon so I can hear it again!
Oh, I'm green with envy at your upcoming return to religious exploration. I miss it. But soon... I'm just hanging on by my fingernails, anyway.
All good wishes and hopes are coming to you, your rockstar hubby, and the bairn in the oven.
xo,
Polli
