dmxratedYesterday was the day we were to head out, not today. Mom came home from work early in order to start packing everything into the car and tying up loose ends.
We stopped at a post office to send that book out, and a gas station at a nearby Wawa's where someone fuels your car for you, right before arriving at Uncle Robby's as a halfway point to Grandma Ella's.

Lately, I had been really distracted from my next video while commissioning for a couple of assets and a restoration of my first Getter Love!! video. Originally a matter of staying on top of everyone bidding for each position, and also making a point of examining every detail on both that Sugar ad and something of Mai Tsurugino extracted from Anime Freak FX Volume 3, in order to find the right person to restore my old video, but Mom and I had also spent a good few days preparing for the trip we're on.
Was originally planning to complete my current video before this trip, but Rob did tell me the other month that he was unable to view my last main video when I emailed him the link there.
Last night, I managed to show him and Cousin Adam that video, followed by my two Earthbound clips after some following discussion. Terms like "generational" and "new math" did come up between us, given Mom and Rob's lack of understanding of video games, and Rob even interpreted "spawning", a gaming term that came up in relation to that butterfly in my recent clip, to refer to the biological process of real butterflies spawning.

Adam then put on a few videos of how mathematics is taught in school today, unlike when Mom and Rob were growing up. These videos depicted things like positive and negative numbers blinking through a screen while a class keeps track, and someone flapping his hands while showcasing his talent to keep track of quadruple-digit numbers rather rapidly (not actually speaking; the running answers might've appeared on-screen, but I don't quite remember).

Just occurred to me this morning that "Apply on company site" means on a website, not at the actual workplace.
