Matthue Roth: Hasidic author, Jewish slam poet, Torah geek and occasional screenwriter: Reunion

http://www.matthue.com/2015/01/reunion.html

Thursday, January 8, 2015. So I have this friend who we used to tell each other everything, and now we both have babies and other kids and never talk anymore, and when we do it basically goes like this:. I'm pretty sure i'm going insane. Oh, DO tell. I don't know liz. My anxiety is worse than ever. I don't know how to talk to people. Let it all out. And i'm pretty sure my novel sucks and it's not even finished yet and if it doesn't sell i don't know if i can take it. And i started drinking coffee again.

Matthue Roth: Hasidic author, Jewish slam poet, Torah geek and occasional screenwriter: March 2014

http://www.matthue.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 30, 2014. Three Things I Forgot About Babar: Death, Incest, and Shrooming. One of the books we read, for my first time in hmm hmm years, The Story of Babar. Three things I did not remember, in no particular order:. His mom gets killed. Not like Bambi's mother, at an emotional high-point of the story. It's just like, Babar is playing in the sand, he's out with his friends, his mother gets shot by poachers. Do elephants actually marry their cousins? Posted by Matthue Roth. Crazy things jews do.

Matthue Roth: Hasidic author, Jewish slam poet, Torah geek and occasional screenwriter: April 2014

http://www.matthue.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 2, 2014. This morning, one kid refused to get dressed, just refused. I cajoled. I promised rewards. In the end, none of it worked and I had to throw a My Little Pony out the window. I am a horrible person. (I think it was even Twilight Sparkle. Like I said: horrible.). On the train the kids played one of the games I designed, and they were actually liking it, liking it a lot. On the train, I realized I'd forgotten not only my notebook, but any sort of paper. Posted by Matthue Roth.

Matthue Roth: Hasidic author, Jewish slam poet, Torah geek and occasional screenwriter: February 2014

http://www.matthue.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 23, 2014. The Greatest Love of All. When she gets home. I was so in the mood for restaurant food. sometimes you need food that you didn't cook, that no human being has cooked, that's fresh and warm and comes to you via a server and some cutlery that someone who's not you will wash (or, alternately, that's plastic and that you can just throw out). Then I zoned out, except apparently I think I might have zoned out more than I warranted, because instead of writing I watched Sherlock. Right ...

Matthue Roth: Hasidic author, Jewish slam poet, Torah geek and occasional screenwriter: June 2014

http://www.matthue.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 30, 2014. First thing: I promise this is not a subtle, passive-aggressive way of saying that you should really say happy birthday to me. Second: I really am grateful to my parents and Hashem and everyone who's pushed me out of the way of a moving vehicle or woken me up out of an alcoholic stupor or otherwise contributed to the very unlikely occurrence of my still being alive. Like, can you please save it for when something good happens that I've actually earned? Because my pirate novel is st...

Friday, August 29, 2014. 2:00 am, Thursday night. I'm half asleep. There's a scuffling from downstairs. Eventually, Itta, freshly home from her restaurant. ITTA: Sorry, I ate your leftover falafel. ME: I was planning to take it for lunch tomorrow! ITTA: You should've gotten food for me! ME: You work at a restaurant! ITTA: I can't eat restaurant food all the time! ME: But my leftovers were from a restaurant! ITTA: Okay, I'll make you sandwiches to take for lunch. ME: You really don't have to.
