shirei_shibolim, you might enjoy knowing that I got a few compliments on my megillah trope (aka, your megillah trope)this morning- because the etnakhta and sofei-pasuk are actually easy to distinguish from each other. People seemed to find this unusual.
2. Why the heck isn't Vashti held up as a model of good tzniusdike behavior (aren't they always looking for good biblical role models for religious girls?), rather than being cast as a villainess? What would people have wanted Esther to do in the same situation? I keep thinking that someone should dress up for Purim as Vashti by wearing a chador... (Even if I still get a kick out of the idea of her turning green and growing a tail...)
3. Steve brought really exciting hamentashen to minyan this morning for Rosh Hodesh. It was a pleasant surprise, and rather inspiring on my part.

I'll be bringing the graphic novel (http://www.megillatesther.com/) to BORG this evening for you and others to peruse. It is very shiny, and very, very twisted — as befits the story, of course.
Also, shameless-but-relevant self-promotion: lyrics (http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/01/bnewman/songs/lyrics/Masquerade.txt) and MP3 (http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/01/bnewman/songs/music/Masquerade.mp3) of "Masquerade".
