I spent the morning alternating work (which right now is mostly editing) with some internet (Internet is my incentive to work now – I spent a certain time on Frelling Dissertation, I get certain internet time. So far, it just might work!) It is still a wonder to me sometimes when I edit something I wrote a while ago that it actually sounds sort of intelligent.

My afternoon was less fun, but at least the prognosis for life suckage going away is better than yesterday.

This is an article from USAToday on interfaith marriage in a Jewish community. I don’t like how some rabbis only accept such couples in their community if the children would be raised Jewish. So once a person becomes a parent, their own spiritual needs end, if they are into that sort of thing. I only ever go to services on high holy days, if then, and I’m never comfortable with any kind of institutional worship, in general, probably because I grew up an atheist and Judaism for me is a more social activity. Still the article is a good read.

Today is the second time in a week where I had to think long and hard on whether I want to post about certain happenings in my life or not. A few of my family/friends are going through some medical issues right now, some are more serious than others, although all worrisome. And a lot of my time will actually go into that, in the next two month especially. But I also had a request not to post details anywhere online, which I feel I must honor. So long story short – life sucks in a lot of ways right now and I will write about it to myself but I will not post it until I feel it is ok or if I get permission. One thing I will say – I don’t know what people did before the Internet. My way of coping with stuff has always been learning as much as I can, and Internet makes it very easy (even if Wikipedia is not exactly a reliable source – and it does have great links).

On more bright news – Harry Potter trailer . It looks so wonderful, I can’t wait!

After I watched the trailer I just wanted to see “Half Blood Prince” again since I knew I could access it anytime on HBO OnDemand. I saw this movie in the movie theater twice and I like the quiet intensity of it. I forgot that scene where Dumbledore realizes Harry is a horcrux – I know it was my favorite moment when I’ve seen the movie in theater. I think I was noticing Harry personality more in this movie.
