I am proud to say that I have gotten a grand total of somewhat less than 10 hours of sleep since Sunday night. I have gone to bed at 2:30 am or later every night (or morning) since Sunday, and wake up at 6… So I wake feeling more than slightly homicidal. And not to mention cold. It’s cold in the morning. In Orlando. That is wrong. For SOOOOOOO many reasons. Not the least of which is the fact that we’re expecting to get an 81 degree high on December 12th… come on. During the days, the highs are mid 70’s to lower 80’s. At night, it’s in the 40’s. What’s up with that?
So I’m downtown today and I’m stuck in traffic with V. for about 30 minutes at a stoplight before we can get anywhere near the I-4. Anyways, while we drive by, I see this big-ass menorah (though not as big as the one off of Rockville Pike) and a whole bunch of people around it. And it makes me think: Damnit! I wish I was Jewish, too! Those lucky fuckers get to have eight nights of presents while us Christians only get one! And we have to get them perverted priests, too!
Which is not to say that I want to be Jewish because of presents or their lack of pedophilically-inclined clergy, but I’m just saying… that must be pretty damn cool holiday.
(Post script: I really hope this wasn’t offensive to anyone…)
