We had a housewarming party and it was nice. It involved pizza and chocolate and nice friends.

I also have a sefer Torah which W's mum's shul didn't want to fix cos it would cost too much,* so I said pleasepleasepleasecanIhaveitpleaseit'llbeeducational and eventually they said yes, so I get to fix it in my free time and then decide what to do with it. It'd be kind of cool to keep it around, on the other hand it's worth five months' rent and that'd be kind of cool too. The thing about having your own Torah is that you can always have your own minyan, and somehow that seems to be the sort of thing we do...on the other hand, the thing about paying the rent is you don't have to worry about paying the rent. We'll see.

* "Too much" is relative - when you have 20-odd kosher Torahs, spending anything at all to restore one is too much!

I had a Bright Idea. The Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance sells a Learn To Leyn Esther CD, and the people who are buying that are exactly my target market, so I called them and asked if I could piggyback on their advertising (o I am a poor soferet drowning in the sea of Torah). And they didn't say no.

I know some of you can do the whole journalism thing...

...would any of you like to write an article about female scribes for no fee? (sounds amazing, doesn't it, sorry) The Women's League of Conservative Judaism will take an article if I send them one, and it would be terrific both for Advancing The Feminist Agenda and, haha, good advertising,* which would jolly well help, but I can't exactly write an article about myself. Anyway, I suck at that kind of writing, so it wouldn't be any good even if I could. So. Anyone interested?

* If I make any money from it you can have a commission.

"Don't confuse these Holy amulets with the stuff commercially made and mass produced and sold somewhere else. EACH ONE of these amulets was individually made with love and thought as it was being put manually under the press..."
