sorry for the hiatus
If anyone noticed, I’ve been away for a little while. Here’s a brief rundown (in no particular order) of what happened to me whilst I was offline:
The Pope came to town and caused traffic the likes of which you’ve never seen
I realized that I can’t remember all of the Chorus Line routine, goddamn
I, once again, remembered why I despise matzos and the kashrut
I felt heavy, bluh
I had an icky stomach thing
I lost three pounds
I got over my icky stomach thing
I gained some back
I picked sonnets for the Shakespeare Revels, with help, hat-tip for you if you’re reading (doubtful)
I got my hair cut to right below my chin
I learned to swallow pills (finally I can stop taking chewable vitamins and liquid tylenol, score)
I got all psyched for Vienna in advance
I was reminded how much I love my friends
I watched spring spring
I picked forsythia
I drew on my hand
I haven’t practiced in four days, shit I need to go do that
I resented kitniyot- can I go be Sephardic please?
I listened to the Barber cello concerto
I tried to get my crazy great-uncle off of me
I watched Charlie’s Angels with my cousin
I did some trig
I once again neglected to ask my grandfather to teach me the four questions in Yiddish, although hearing them makes more sense than it used to
I cracked my knuckles.
QED.

A) As the youngest in the family, before actually reading, I decided to launch our first debate of the night by proposing that there are actually five questions, or only one, because only one is formed as a question (in the English…), and it’s the one that doesn’t get counted! After about ten minutes it got put down to bad translation. Oh, Maxwell House…
B)I missed your blog while it was not updatey.
C)Why is it that Jews despise matzah and everyone else (read: the kids who take it from the cafeteria) loves it? This does not make sense.
D)Yay for pill-swallowing!
E) Random thought: there was a two year old child at our seder that spoke four languages. Hindi, Spanish, Catalan, and English. WHATTHEFUCK?
