On the 3 train last night, some girl was practicing her pole dancing moves for her friends across the aisle from me.  I was in too much shock to move, so I took out my chumash and started learning last week's parsha just so I wouldn't have to see some obnoxious girl shaking her fat behind and kicking her feet up in the air.   They got off at the same stop as me.  When the train stopped, her friend said "I have to pee like a race horse."  Very classy, ladies.

Turns out that lady who gave me a hard time outside of Kol Tuv has a reputation for being difficult.  I know a few people who've had trouble with her.  She once told my friend's wife that she wasn't helping to bring the geulah because she didn't give her enough money.  I forget if that was the first or the second time she yelled at my friend's wife, but the second time she gave this lady money, she yelled at her again.  So she told the lady to get a job!  When my friend was telling me this story he ended it with, "That's my girl!"  I wasn't sure what to make of that until I actually had to deal with that woman making me feel like a criminal.

On my way back from Kol Tuv this evening, I stopped to give some change to a lady sitting outside on a milk crate.  Shnorrers are commonplace in Crown Heights, and they let us fulfill the important mitzvah of tzedaka.  Sometimes they bother me, though.  I had a couple pennies in my hand.  This woman did not want pennies; she said if I couldn't give her like a mentsh, not to give her at all.  So I gave her a quarter in addition to the two pennies.  So she yelled at me as I walked away.  I told her that was all I had.  So she threw a penny at me.  I felt badly.

I've been trading text messages all day with a friend whom I've gotten hooked on TMBG's "James K Polk" song.made this to send him in a pix message.

I keep having these dreams about high school.  There's one girl in particular who keeps showing up, mostly as a peripheral character.  We were friends in middle school and high school, nothing romantic, which is how it stays in these dreams.  Last night I dreamt I was visiting the high school a couple years after having graduated and gone on to college.  The weird part was I had superpowers like Shadowcat, from the X-Men.
On a side note, Shadowcat is my favorite female member of the X-Men.  She's Jewish, she's hot, she's smart, she's a ninja...  She's kind of like a mutant Natalie Portman in that way.

Everywhere I go these days, I think I see the girl who broke my heart.  I thought I was starting to get over her.  Now I think she's got a doppelganger who stalks 5th Avenue.

My landlady woke me up at 8:30 this morning when she let herself into my apartment.
