Yom Kippur is gone and past. I fasted and save for a little water after dinner last night did the whole real deal (save for the 22-23 hours part).
Didn't quite make it back to Temple today, but that's alright as I put in my time last night. What I did do is see a movie, which is becoming a bit of a Yom Kippur tradition. Although my grandmother doesn't approve, I'll prob still keep doing it. After all, sometimes I think I believe in Cinema more than I do God. For the former the proof is in the pudding, whereas with the latter, well, it's based more on a leap of faith.
The movie I saw today was pretty phenomenal: NEVER LET ME GO. Not exactly a crowdpleaser but beautiful film nonetheless. Can't imagine a more appropriate movie on Yom Kippur than one that touches on death, dying and mortality and paints a picture of just how important the people we love are on our brief time on earth. Despite the depressing subject matter, the fact that these particular characters have even less time than we tend to get, helps put things in perspective and makes it a bit easier to stomach. If you're interested in seeing a well acted, beautifully shot and altogether worthwhile flick, I highly recommend you check it out.

Hello night owls,
crazy to think this is the first edition of UWTL in almost 2 months. Yes I have probably been uwtl a handful of times since our last rendezvous but alas I have been lazy.
Tonight, being Yom Kippur, I am going on 5+ hours without food, only 17-18 hours to go (yes I know that doesn't quite add up to 24, but I'm super super reform or as most other people call it Agnostic, so deal with it conservs!).
Anywho so tomorrow, there will be no food til supper, that is what's up. I'm hoping to be super lucid and able to focus and get some shiz done, but alas that may not be in the cards. If the afternoon arrives and more Temple seems as appealing as it does right now (which is not very), then maybe i'll go check out THE TOWN (Affleck yo!). Lot's o great movies starting to pop into theaters, gotta try and keep up. Saw EASY A tonight, the teen comedy starring the babe-aliscious Emma Stone. Went with the sis and the little cuz. A good time was had by all. Not quite MEAN GIRLS level girly teeny bopper brilliance, but alas not all such highschool comedies have the benefit of Tina Fey in front of and behind the camera.
That's it for tonight. If this post was just a return to meandering, aimless form, then get stoked cause I got a few more blogs launching soon. Both are significantly more focused. One is a photo blog with a slightly sick sense of humor (sorry ladies!) while the other will be an in depth look at where all great and awful TV begins, the Pilot phase. Hopefully both will be something slightly more than massive wastes of times. Who knows? Only times will tell.
