Bad Jew
Discard Your Star, originally uploaded by emilyrems.
I totes blew off Rosh Hashannah this weekend to get over being sick and to practice my ass off for the big spiegeltent benefit tonight. Now not only am I nervous, nervous, nervous, but I’m also paranoid that my angry old testament G-d is gonna make me drop my sticks or blank on my transitions, or maybs just forget to write my name in the book of life, causing me to perish whilst on stage. Just goes to show, you can take the girl out the high holy days, but you can’t take the jewish guilt/fear/paranoia out of the grrrl.
P.S. I took this picture in a bathroom stall at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Times Square. This is the info-graphic handily emblazoned upon the little box affixed to the stall wall to alert ladies where to dispose of their bloody pads. But seriously, doesn’t it look like a tacit command to throw your Star of David in the trash? Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not all out to get me.

you have until next week to make sure you’re still in the Book of Life, so don’t sweat it. plus i’m pretty sure that music, like fucking, is a mitzvah. but don’t take it from a jew who works on yom kippur.
