What is a good name for an ancient Greek mortal woman?
I need a name for a woman in my English assignment, which is to write my own myth. While I dunno if it'll help, the story is about the origins of wind.
Bonus points if the name has a cool meaning.
"...What is the difference between this banana and this mini slinky wrapped in cellophane?"
Chris Taylor is the big man in Gas Powered Games. He's a game designer, famous for Total Annihilation, Dungeon Siege, and Supreme Commander. His current work in progress is Kings and Castles, an epic fantasy RTS.
I cannot wait for K&C to come out, but while we wait Chris Taylor is posting awesome video blogs about the development of the game, one each week. The above quote is from the latest one
I was at the dentist earlier today, just for a checkup. But then the x-ray picked up something funky and she had to treat that. So she numbed the left side of my mouth (that needle was scary ;__ and then took out some tools, like drills (they're insane, I tell you). She stuck five things in my mouth at once and used the teeny tiny drills on one of my teeth. For such a small thing that drill sounded so loud in my head. ._. But then there was this device that spun around and it was so quiet I was
Remember the contest I mentioned a while ago in here? My friend and I managed to enter that contest with the help of my English teacher. The illustrations and all were on computer, so we had to email it. My teacher only saw the book today since I emailed it to her, and she said it was wonderful. With three exclamation marks.
And recently I got a letter saying our entry is in the Top 10 finalists for the city. B)
Winners are gonna be announced at a ceremony around June 3, I'm excited~
So some weeks ago my Italian class watch a movie called Cinema Paradiso (Cinema Paradise). We apparently watched the version that the United states released.
Buuut
The actual movie released in Italy was 3 hours long, so an hour of important scenes were chopped out of the movie to please the American watchers that would rather see a shorter film, foreign or not.
We watched the movie with those scenes, and it was amazing and tear-jerking. I just can't believe that such moments would be le
food entries ahoy
Today in science, despite having a test (which I think I aced~), it was a very good period. First, I had brought in some Ukrainian/Russian biscuit cracker things that were vanilla-ish, and the three people who sit near me were eating them the whole time. One of these three brought in a pack of dango, and it was really my first time trying it.
It was delicious. @_@ I want mooooooore.
So yeah. The other day I had brought in some Russian gingerbread cookies so that was co
When I watch something like Vampire Knight or Rozen Maiden where Pocky is involved at least once, I just have the urge to eat Pocky. But I have nowhere nearby to buy it.
Thank for the happy birthdays in my topic and all that. And more thankees to Spink <3
I saw Alice in Wonderland with my pals, and I liked it a lot. The only thing that killed it was when the Jabberwocky talked. That was just terrible.
Cheshire Cat <3
And Mad Hatter <3
The Tim Burton exhibit was sold out, and we didn't have timed tickets so meh. Instead we went out and chilled.
And it was a beautiful day <3
I also drew Lelouch last night. He's really fun to draw, and I h
There are some moments where you just know art is awesome.
So today in art class I brought in a mango to draw and paint in watercolors. Our new assignment was to paint it and then fix it up in pen, such as outlines, extreme shading, details, etc.
I was like "man I need something more awesome than just a mango"
Then I realized I had Gunslinger Girl volume 1 in my bag, which I borrowed from a friend.
So I took it out, and put the mango on the book (lol mango on manga) so that it replac
He's the one you call, Dr. Feelgood~
Tomorrow is going to be pretty awesome. It'll be a half-day due to afternoon parent-teacher conferences (which my parents never go to) so I'll get out at 11:30. But they did cut out a ton of periods from the middle of the day so I won't see several people. ):
But afterschool, I'm meeting with several friends, and the plan is: Pizza, Alice in Wonderland, and then art museum for an exhibit on Tim Burton. It's going to be fuuun~
also does anybody know wha
I got my report card for the first marking period of the second semester today. Pretty fair, 90 in art, 88 in English, 95 in Italian (I still have my "special aptitude" for the class o_O), 80 in gym (teehee), and 96 in science. I got 99's in both global and geometry. I don't understand why, but that's goood.
Right now I have a really bad headache, and it's been going for at least two hours now. Sometimes it hurts because of lots of noise, sometimes it hurts when I talk constantly, and in wors
I got sick yesterday, starting off with a whole ton of sneezing, and then my nose got all bleh. Today I got occasional headaches throughout the school day, and my ears are all messed up. It's hard to yawn as well.
At least now I get to fuse different kinds of tea that I could use for my current state to create one great tea with an unidentifiable taste.
New Firefox makes it harder to get my blog banner URL. D:
And is my life really that boring that I have to resort to entries about my food?
So today my friend decided to give me an early birthday present (she even gave me the card early), because she won't be able to attend my lovely afterschool plans for the actual birthday. Which I will explain in a different entry if I already haven't.
We went down to her middle school, which was kind of pretty even though it looked like any old school
So for art class we're gonna start some serious watercolor paintings, and I need to either bring in a fruit (which I've been bringing this whole week ><) or bring in some random, cool objects.
Any suggestions for objects?
I also finished the drawing I mentioned in my previous entry, but I'll have to scan it when I bring my big bag (it really is a sack) of art home.
And I dunno about you but I think this is pretty awesome.
So like I told my mom I wanted to eat and asked if we still had this awesome cream cheese.
She was like "No, but we have cream cheese with tomato and basil."
And I said "Okay I'll try that."
When I spread it on my bread, it was like pizza. The cream cheese is just like pizza: the tomato, basil, and cheese, minus the bread, but then you provide the bread so yeah.
It was awesome.
(And totally not like those huge, disgusting bacon creations.)
Sadly my bro and I used up the last of
no not of the end
Today was another day of Spirit Week at my school, Wacky Tacky Wednesday. Originally I was going to wear some weird outfit but then last-minute, I decided to stick with a sign. I took a piece of paper and a red marker and wrote "WACKY" on the paper, then punched holes in the top and tied string through them. I wore the sign around my neck all day, except for gym and last period. Everybody loved it. B)
Then I went to that awesome bookstore, and I got three books: A Fullmet
It's March already? Because March is an awesome month. You have Spirit Week at school, St. Patrick's Day, my birthday, spring finally coming (=D), and report cards/parent-teacher conferences. Okay, the last one might not be awesome, it depends on you.
But February was fast. Even though it was a short month. And very snowy. Too snowy for my taste.
Randomness:
Also yaaaay Hetalia's new season started today so that's another thing to make March awesome =D
Tomorrow I'm going to that chea
Today, the city held a snow day. As mentioned earlier, it could mean the end of the world as we know it now that my city has had two snow days in a month. This is the Prophecy - and only you can save the world!
You and your companions set out for the Park on this day, a place of nature built by Elves, I guess.
You enter the park, and it is packed with snow, at least a foot of it. Walking is difficult, and your legs have a higher chance of getting tired in this environment.
On the first
Fall trees have been taken away and broken trees trimmed to ugliness. Snow is tainted by mud and salt and evil from beneath. The demonic messages were removed (a couple got rewritten), and it's just all different.
It's terrible. ;_;
One day really makes a difference after a snowstorm.
But the icicles are still good.
It snowed all day and I forgot my umbrella so I got reaaaally wet. My hair's dry now, so it's all good. =D
So in school, when we looked out onto the sidewalks from the windows, and saw the snow sticking, we all covered our faces in shock with our hands and cried out "It's sticking!" in high-pitched voices.
Later, in Italian, we were watching Mafioso and then some assistant principal's voice came on over the PA system, saying that all clubs were canceled and other stuff like that. But, snow
Days ago I added a content block under "Beautiful hair!", for your information so you can enjoy it.
The Open House was okay and left me tiredtiredtired. I'm very thankful a kind old lady staff at school let me out half an hour earlier.
Other than that the event isn't very interesting to blog about.
Red velvet cupcakes, on the other hand... yum.
Also, a friend and I are entering a contest to write and illustrate a children's book with the theme of diversity and tolerance. Friend is going
So some time ago in 2009, some friends and I went to the park near my school and rode the carousel, as I blogged somewhere in this crazy blog.
Well, today, the same friends (plus one more) and I all went back to that park and got into a playground that was basically empty. We climbed around, slid, took pictures, and made a video where one friend explained her morning wash-up and make-up routine and everyone else was her over-excited audience. We had a lot of fun spending ~45 minutes there, an
Kinder Surprise Eggs <3
And inside these chocolate eggs are really cheap but surprisingly fun to collect tiny toys. I have a huge bin full of them, some with missing parts and more.
But yes, that was my childhood. Now, the store that I got then from doesn't sell them regularly, only around Christmas and New Years. But they sell other Kinder products throughout the year, though they just aren't the same as the eggs.
