I'm back home now. I guess I'll explain it again: I went the last nine days without an internet connection or television. Basically I was cut off from the media. And now I've come back to a world where celebs are dropping like flies.
As if Bernie Mac wasn't shocking enough.

For a Friday the thirteenth, my day wasn't so bad.
This morning, I didn't have to do carpool because something came up with the other guys. That's a very good thing because I REALLY HATE CARPOOL (I'm sure I'm not alone on that). So my dad drove me to school. Interestingly, I saw some unfortunate that I know from my old grade school get pulled over on the ride to school.

I worked up my own translations of the Amazon.de website descriptions for the 2007 sets. Me and my dad (who is familiar with German) came up with these translations directly from the German source:
Mantax stalks his opponents in the darkness and grabs them from behind. He is equipped with thick armor; venomous, red spines; and sturdy forceps.
Carapar is twice as wide as he is long. With his long arms and enormous claws, he is able to overcome every obstacle. Thanks to his thick armor, he

Graaaah, haven't blogged all year. Happy 2009 everyone!
Remember those magical minutes after the New Year tolls in...
"I haven't slept all year."
"I haven't eaten all year."
"I haven't been to the bathroom all year."
"I've been standing up all year."
"Shower? Please, I haven't taken one all year."
"Go outside? I've been in my house all year."
"Haven't seen you all year, man."
"I haven't gone downstairs all year."
"I haven't been online in a year."

Ah, the Greek letter "xi." Some say it looks like like a box; others, an "E;" others, a spring. What do you think it looks like?

Here goes another iPod rant:
Take a look at this video on CNN.
I love Japan. So practical. They don't limit imagination and applicability of technology over there.
