It’s only 8:54pm, and I’m hungry. It’s Erev Yom Kippur this evening. “Erev” is hebrew for “evening.” It’s the evening of Yom Kippur. So, as of around 6:30 this evening (this “erev”), I’m not allowed to eat for over 24 hours.

So, I haven’t eaten in, ohhh, 2 hours and 24 minutes…, and 27 seconds 25, 24. But, I’m not counting, or anything…. More than even eating, though, I’m thirsty. I want water. Just one little swig?

Parched.

Poor Josh-O forgot it was Yom Kippur — on the way home from SYNAGOGUE — and asked me if I wanted Starbucks $%$#@! YES, I WANT STARBUCKS! YES YES YES! I can’t THINK about anything else!

Dangit.

On Yom Kippur we’re supposed to repent our sins. The day-long fast is supposed to cleanse us, so we can enter the New Year on a clean slate.

So, I wasn’t going to blog tonight. Because, really, we’re supposed to use this time to look inward, explore, reflect, release, resolve. But, I felt like saying hi and telling you a bit about this day.

ALSO. I had to tell you! GORGEOUSES, my cousin MILES DID AWESOME tonight (now 10:04…am HUNGERS!) on So You Think You Can Dance Canada!

Isn’t he adorable (I know, I can’t stop saying that)? I’ll get the vid of his dance on tonight’s show as soon as it’s out on youtube. I didn’t think the routine he was given was that great — what, with the totally GRATUITOUS KISS (but, maybe I’m just being an overprotective older cuz…) — probably because Miles is a popper, AND WE WANT TO SEE HIM POP THAT CHEST! I also kind of wish they paired Miles up with that blond BOMBSHELL who KILLED her hip hop routine, Natalli Reznik — did you see the BODY on that girl?

But Milesy ROCKED IT — and his partner Lara, though not a great match for him at all…, should help him get through Contemporary with flying colours. And, he’ll carry her right through to the top 10. The judges LOVE HIM. Check this from Jean Marc Genereux: “You are the John Travolta of our show…of Canada…sexy beast!” YEEEAAAAHHHH!

And, hey? did you see my AUNT SHELLY in Miles’ intro? I’ll get the vid, I’ll get the vid. I am SO PROUD. I can’t even tell you.

In the meantime, here’s the vid of Miles making it into the top 20! His segment starts 1 minute and 7 seconds in….

See HERE for Miles’ So You Think You Can Dance bio. And, thank you, Canadian Gorgeouses (and even some of you American Gorgeouses who tried!), for VOTING for MILES FABER LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Wish me luck fasting…. It’s going to be a LONG DAY. Eat a tofu burger for me, will you? LOVE!
