I love getting into the "hannukah spirit." This morning on the Christmas radio station they played Adam Sandler's Hannukah Song. Nobody else on the bus understood all the little inside jokes... And then of course they'res the giant jewish star made of lights i put on my lawn this morning =]. Haha, and we can't forget the famous candle lighting! Today was my sister's turn, she did pretty well (nobody was burned so that's always a plus!) I can't wait untill sunday, i'm going to bake some gingerbread Rabbi's ;)


Happy Hannukah everyone!! 


this post seems a bit short, so meme! Stolen from [info]tehrussian
Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5.Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.

here goes

"This is acomplished by embracing semiorigional semielitist cultural artifacts that remain just out of reach to those wo desire them- the so called Cocoa Puffs of Power. We all relate to Sonny the Cuckcoo Bird. We pursue that which retreats from us, and coolness is always a bear market. Coolness is always what others seem to have naturally-an unspecific delicious, chocolately paradigm we must pilfer through sub-terfuge. It drevies us for a lack of better terms "coo coo" " page 123 Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, by Chuck Klosterman

wow, out of context this guy seems like a nut =]

Happy Hannukah! I love all three versions of that song! "so drink that gin and tonic-a/smoke that marijuana-ca" Always the one line I remember.

Also, "Bruce Springsteen isn't but my mother thinks he is!" Hee.

That is one cracktastic excerpt.

I love the Adam Sandler Hannukah song. :) I'm sure I'm not getting it all, either, but it's funny.

Heh, and yeah that guy does sound a little nutty. Nothing wrong with a nutjob, though. :D

Happy Hannukah!!

Ahaha. It drives us, for a lack of better terms, "coo coo"

Very nice. Crazy, but hm. What's the book about?

thanks! =]

it's basically an essay-esque book this guy wrote about life using pop culture references. That particular chapter was about "coolness" and how everyone strives for something that's always culturally unatainable
