I do exist! I realize I haven’t been updating much at all, but nothing really has been happening and I’ve just felt sort of dead.
It’s Passover now and going nicely so far. We had a good Seder last night, just the four of us. During the reading of the section about the Jews being slaves in Egypt there was a line about how the Egyptians set upon the Jews cruel taskmasters and yet they still multiplied exceedingly. A short discussion ensued about how could inflicting suffering make it so you wouldn’t multiply as much. My dad suggested that they were all accountants and they were multiplying mathematically as opposed to people wise.
That sort of ended that discussion.
During the afikomen hunt, my dad got all giggly. He really likes hiding the afikomen and watching my brother and I search for it. His rules are it’s hidden so you don’t have to move anything to see it. Admittedly you may not have to move anything to see it, but it’s just a tiny sliver showing so you still kinda have to move things to see it. This year it was under a dustpan on top of some binders. I lifted up the dustpan to peek into the binders and there it was. The most frustrating year was the time he planned ahead. There was a space between the stove and this small, wooden cubbyhole thing. He taped a clothespin onto the side of the cubbyhole and then stuck the afikomen in the clothespin. It was basically defying gravity.
BUT I didn’t have to move anything to see it. So it was technically still legal.
There was no Passover Coke anywhere this year because apparently there was something wrong in the formula to make it kosher for Passover according to California law and so the stores couldn’t carry it. The kosher store we went to was the only one we found that had the soda because they probably got it out of state. But you can’t find it in the supermarkets anywhere. Which is sad. I like Passover coke! Coke Cola says they’ll have it fixed and ready for next year. Huzzah!
I’ve started using Illustrator in the graphic design class. Vector art is frustrating. ALL THE PIECES. And making sure they fit and then making sure they stay together. O_o We had to trace a cartoon character using the pen tool; I did Rainbow Dash, because I’m awesome like that. But ohmigawd all the curves! I should have gone with Batman Beyond. Less curves has he.
Still jobish hunting. We contacted a place that helps disabled people find jobs. They said I was the highest functioning person they've had, but they're still going to try and help me. So here's hoping.
