Gasp! A real entry!
It's not very often that I make an entry like this. I'm still not sure whether it's because nothing particularly interesting happens most days of my life of just because I'm lazy. In any case, this weekend was interesting enough to warrant a real "blog" entry.
I spent the weekend at Diane's (fozziebear54) house for their Passover seder. We took a train out at about 2:30pm on Friday after I accidentally slept through my only class and unfortunately had to miss Eyeth Day (Try and Google it, I don't feel like explaining it), which I was required to go to for ASL102. I'll have to make up the assignment by watching a video and answering questions about it in the professor's office. Too bad I didn't realize this conflict before getting the train tickets. In any case, it was a fairly uneventful train ride and we got in a little after 8pm. We spent the rest of the night playing Diane's NES, which she recently acquired. Hopefully it will be up at school next year. There was also a dog show on TV (Yay!).
Then there was Saturday, the only eventful day of the weekend. I got to meet some of Diane's extended family: Phil and Jake (the fun ones) and Uncle Vic and Bernita (the funny ones... particularly Vic). Yes, Jake is her real name. We started the seder at about 2pm and managed to blow through it in a half hour. Phil had promised "thirty minutes or less or the next one's free" and just barely managed to earn the money nobody intended to pay him in the first place. After eating, there was much frisbeeing between Diane, Alex (brother), Phil, and myself. Jake joined in a bit too. After we had enough, it was time for dessert, which there was (almost) too much of. Sponge cake with strawberries and whipped cream, actually Cool Whip; "nothing cookies," which taste better than anything with "nothing" in the name ought to; macaroons; and also some of the candy you would expect to find in the Passover section of Wegmans, like fruit slices. Somewhere in the middle of that, we played Mario on the NES, with Diane, Jake, Phil, and me taking turns. Phil had never played before, but somehow performed the best. The rest of the night was spent watching TV; first we had to watch The Ten Commandments, of course, during which the company eventually left. After that was over, I had Diane put on Muppets Take Manhatten, simply because I hadn't seen it before. I enjoyed it, of course, but I don't think it surpasses The Great Muppet Caper, which is the muppet movie I know best. But hey, that's just me.
Today/Sunday morning, I woke up to find a reminder that I was in a house of two religions. The Easter Bunny had left me a small basket of candy the day after our Passover seder. It reminds me of those AIM buddy icons for Christmas & Hannukah that say "I cash out twice!" Morning trains suck a lot, but I'm back on campus now and that makes me happy. Who wants to play frisbee?
PS- Sorry for all the parentheses
