pyesetzPassover is over, so I guess I passed.
[Poll #1179301]
In ancient times, Passover was considered to be the beginning of the year. New Year's was later moved to the fall, creating the new holiday of Rosh Hashanah, during which Jews are supposed to think about all the sins they committed last year against Man and doG. I don't really celebrate Rosh Hashanah much, but I do commit significant amounts of effort to Passover (this year we drove down to Toronto to buy matzah, certified pineapple juice, chocolate bars without soybean oil, etc), so I guess this should be my sin-contemplation holiday. Obviously I have sinned a lot this year, because comments on this journal have fallen waaaay off. Well, not really: For Jan-Apr of 2007 I made 15 posts, receiving 64 comments; this year I've made 21 posts that received 79 comments. But of my last 8 posts, half of them got nothing and the other half got 1-2 comments (which is basically one commenter plus my reply — hi![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dakhun!) It looks like the "zit porn link" was the journal-killer. Since I posted that, no one will talk to me anymore. Sheesh! Should I try a penis photo next? A monograph on the "one-state solution" that Israel will eventually have to accept? What Ben Stein's Expelled tells us about the Nixon administration?
Maybe I should just post elsewhere. I shot my mouth off at Street Prophets and got 8 "cookies"! It's too bad LJ doesn't have cookies, which is just a way of saying "thanks for writing this" without having to come up with any reply text.
