Hi! It was a lot cooler today. I was able to relax somewhat, plus the cat looked much happier. I still have some really horrible withdrawal symptoms, but I think I'll get through it. I was distracted by another game on Flash Ninja Clan called We're Pirates. A very addicting game. Although it's pretty hard to even get through the simplest enemy's island. It's similar to a tower defense game. You try to sink the enemies ships, and get 20 of your other ships to cross onto the island. You can't let the captain die, or it's over. Apparently, our job is to be his strategist.

We went to the Shabbat potluck tonight. There weren't very many people that showed up, maybe 10 or 11 something like that. The food that people brought were either salads or desserts. Good stuff, but no main course dish. We brought tabouleh (it's an Israeli salad with couscous, parsley, lemon juice, tomatoes, very tasty!), there was watermelon, cantaloupe, lots of vegetables mixed in an interesting salad, an interesting peach pie, brownies, lemon angel food type cake that had raspberry syrup and whipped cream, and lemon bars. Since there was no main dish, one of the organizers called for pizza. I had the pesto, pine nut, feta, spinach type pizza. It was good, except the crust was like wafer thin and was more like a cracker. There were lots of screaming kids running around and climbing on things. It was annoying. There was a new family that came, to see what it was like in the area. They're thinking of moving here. I think they were from Texas, not sure though. Their kids were overly nice. It was nice to see how people were doing.

I'm pretty into my religion but lately I feel my congregation is kind of.... lacking, for lack of a better word. I used to love their services so much, that I find it odd that it's not doing it for me anymore. I keep racking my brain trying to come up with why so we can change it. (My mom's on the religious committee, so she thinks if I come up with why we can change it.) Nothing really concrete has come up though. Yes, I find the screaming crazy kids annoying, but they're gone during Saturday morning services for their 'Saturday' school. (That's another odd development. I know it's funny, but we used to have that type of thing on Sunday, so the kids can see what the service is really like. I actually loved it that way.) Also, I didn't really like our cantor (a person who helps lead the congregation in singing.) towards the end, but she's kind of gone now. I say kind of because she moved to Seattle, but she might come back like once a month or something to help. I didn't like our Rabbi at the beginning, but now I seem to like him more. Kind of like he's grown on me. He still says things I don't agree with. Maybe what I want is to be more 'spiritual', but I don't know how to go about that. I like being a Reform Jew. (Reform- basically a liberal Jew.) I don't think I want to go down the road of being Orthodox or even Conservative. It bothers me so much! What will make me happy 'spiritually'? I don't know. Also, I feel like I should be doing something more about it everyday. Not like let's be Jewish only on Shabbat. (I know that's not really the case, but it's how I feel.) Sorry, if I seem to be babbling about it, but I'm just confused about my form of spirituality I guess.

I watched Eureka tonight. It was interesting yet again. This time about a 'pet' named spot (really a blob) who loves to feed off of radioactivity. The only problem is it gets so big and since humans are a little radioactive it starts trying to eat people. They ended up putting salt on it, and killed it like it was a slug. Kind of funny. Also, I'm pissed that Syfy decided to drop Primeval. I loved that show! It's about these 'anomalies' (portal type things) that open and let in prehistoric and future creatures. Each show showcased an animal or two. It was kind of fun. Oh, and what makes me even more pissed is they decided to show reruns of a different show at that time. You know, take it away and add a new show I somewhat understand. But, take it away and just show reruns I don't understand.
