The first post says it all Shalom, This is the home of the Pittsfield Jew. Sure its neat to read about Jews in Brooklyn who are very observant but how about a not so observant Jew who lives in the Mid West?

Two days on MP3 and counting

Jonny has been so busy doing nothing that he just finished lunch. Later he has to eat dinner. He has class at 6, where he is the teacher. Today's lunch was turkey sandwich a trilogy ending today. Now he is here in Hollywood drinking coffee. He spent most of the last two days playing with his MP3 player. It is an imitation of the 24 mm cube made by Centron, JNS and hyunwon. The Centron manual even has the same exact language in it, layout, format, weird english translation. Hmmm. Angelina is very needy today. Alberta is now in a cast. Wendell and Kristina might call tonight at 8PM oh boy Jonny won't be there for that. This MP3 player can play ebook, basically anything in .txt format but here is the catch. It has 3 lines that are 8 characters wide. As a programmer Jonny could reformat the text. The thought of such an algorithm is giving him a headache. Probably a google search for text justification algorithm would give some ideas. Then take a text file and reformat in the program with line breaks. Jonny's back is killing him. He took a 1.5 hour nap until 12:20 and that didn't help it much. He stayed up too late. Alberta was looking for glue and printing on the color printer at 11PM. She also had Jonny's laptop so he did his online class homework on the desktop. Probably didn't get a great grade. All his 14 students have A's now. Yeah that is the way to do it. Based on 3 assignments. Each worth 400 points. Jonny put parsha naso on the MP3 player. No bike ride yesterday. Jonny was dumped off the bus at Caribou coffee in a fish bowl like water scenario. The whole place outside was flooded. In the time to cross the street his shirt was dryer standing up then bending over. Then he went home and in a thunderstorm used the gas grill. He has to get back into the situps and nasal irrigation. Now he can listen to the parsha discussion on the way to and fro the car for naps or to the bus or even on the bike. "But you are supposed to listen to music" wailed Angelina. He will but first he wants to listen to a one hour lecture three times. And then do it over again next week. How kosher is that to listen to a torah drash while walking to schul in the morning on a saturday? Maybe tonight Jonny will waste his hard earned petty cash on Burger King. Oh how he has to whore himself just to get $10. Just a joke of course. He started reading the introduction to the English Yiddush dictionary by weinfeld. Not sure if that is the name. OK Weinreich is the name. Hard to read the dictionary unless you understand the symbols. So perhaps a tour of the 40 page introduction will help. Jonny better get back to practicing his torah chanting too. On a regular basis too.
