I'm sure you guys have seen this already, but I can't help but share. And ask: What's up with the astronaut?

Shades of Grey said...: The astronaut is a continued bit of shtick from the Maccabeat's first music video for "One Day" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLDl8fbJx0I) which depicts a series of mini-stories of how the various guys joined the group.

The fellow in the orange space suit is actually from Houston, Texas - home of a large NASA space center. He wears the suit in the original video, and is only continuing the bit here - which makes for a fun little inclusion for established fans of the Maccabeats.; 12:53 PM
Chaviva Gordon-Bennett said...: I didn't make any this year :\ I might make some for Shabbos, is that weird?

They'll be baked, however!

@Shades THANK YOU for clearing that up!; 7:07 PM

About the Jewess

I began this blog in April/May 2006 shortly after converting to Judaism under Reform auspices in Lincoln, Neb., as a way to discuss my journey. After all, the Jewish journey doesn't end with conversion, it's where it starts! This blog winds its way through a variety of cities -- Lincoln, Washington D.C., Chicago, Storrs (CT), Teaneck (NJ), and Denver -- as well as a variety of jobs. I trekked through Reform Judaism to Conservative to Orthodoxy while living in Chicago and converted Orthodox on January 1, 2010. I've been married and divorced since my Orthodox conversion and would proudly say I'm denominationally "Underconstructionist."

The purpose of this blog is to share my story, my struggles, my ups and my downs, and to connect with others about anything and everything Jewish and social media. Write me, talk to me, comment, and be well!
