http://lynneonjewishstuff.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Lynne on Jewish stuff. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. OK, I'll say it. And, having said that, here am I, committed to Judaism, going with my mom and some friends to see Chimes of Christmas at the IU Auditorium next week! And I even bought the tickets! My mom is Christian and my dad died several years ago. So, I don't want her to feel lonely around the holidays. And I will enjoy the music. A creature of conflicts, that's me, I guess!

Bad Wolf Bay: To His Coy Mistress
http://gdenney.blogspot.com/2010/09/to-his-coy-mistress.html
Tuesday, September 7, 2010. To His Coy Mistress. Had we but world enough, and time,. This coyness, lady, were no crime. We would sit down and think which way. To walk, and pass our long love's day;. Thou by the Indian Ganges' side. Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide. Of Humber would complain. I would. Love you ten years before the Flood;. And you should, if you please, refuse. Till the conversion of the Jews. My vegetable love should grow. Vaster than empires, and more slow. But at my back I always hear.

Lynne on Jewish stuff. Sunday, October 22, 2006. I think this is a sad, sad story. OK, I know this is so corny, but the time during Abby's bat mitzvah when we stood on the bima and passed the Torah down through our family to Abby.wonderful moment in my life. And I guess that's why I think this story from today's NY Times is such a sad one - the loss of Jewish identity for the mom and for the child. October 22, 2006.

http://gdenney.blogspot.com/2010/09/its-wonderful-afterlife.html
Wednesday, September 1, 2010. It's a Wonderful Afterlife. I recently saw It's a Wonderful Afterlife. And really loved it! So far, many of Gurinder Chadha's. Films post-Bend it Like Beckham have disappointed me. I am very happy to say that this film subverted all low expectations. As with any Chadha film, one may expect a wonderful cast of characters. I was also happy to see some familiar faces. Sendhil Ramamurthy. Of Heroes fame plays the charming and gorgeous D S Murthy. Mark Addy. Drop a Goog on it.

Bad Wolf Bay: Volver
http://gdenney.blogspot.com/2010/08/volver.html
Thursday, August 26, 2010. I recently saw Volver. I have come to expect great things from the combination of Pedro Almodovar and Penelope Cruz. In this instance, I was not disappointed. Penelope Cruz was amazing as Raimunda. She was beautiful and gave an extremely real and emotional performance. I would definitely recommend this film. It is definitely a must-see!
