All righty, then. I've got almost all of my pictures. I'd post shadow teasers, but there's really no point - the official topic will be up soon anyway.
Also, my mom checked out our local video store, and both copies of The Legend Reborn were out. So tonight's movie will be X-Men Origins: Wolverine (an excellent movie, by the way). I'll check again tomorrow afternoon after school.
Stay tuned for my BBC #55 entry pic.
So, I've decided to stop giving detailed reports of my day, mostly because nobody reads them. If you object, speak now.
I forgot one very big thing when I made the List of Important Things That Have Happened Between Then and Now. Actually, it's so big, I'm surprised I didn't list it. As usual, here's some background:
I'm in FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America), a club that essentially is about preparing you for a future in business. Every year, FBLA holds several categories of competi
So, I'm in fourth period. The only thing I had to do today was take a quick 30-question test, after which I had free time. Have free time, the period doesn't end until 11:48.
Today we had a variant of FCAT Writes that's essentially the same thing with a different name. As usual, it was easy. In cas it's illegal to disclose the prompt on the internet, I'm not going to.
The good thing about this is that our schedule is altered to fit in the Writes. Here it is:
Period 1: 7:33 - 8:13

Midnight is alive. When my grandmother took her to the vet's office yesterday, she discovered that Midnight had been in what's called a diabetic coma. Essentially, Midnight has low blood sugar. Right now, Midnight requires constant supervision and has to be fed every two hours. We also discovered that Midnight has a condition that causes her eyes to be two different s
Time for another blog update. Yesterday, my grandmother picked me up to look at her computer, which wasn't connecting to the internet. After my brother and I couldn't find anything wrong with it, my grandmother took us to Lucky Buffet, an excellent local Chinese buffet. After a quick stop by a thrift shop, which yielded only a book for my brother, we were dropped off at the University of Tampa, where I was to find information concerning campus tours and explore the campus in an effort to discove
At long last, the BZPower forums have returned! I will continue blogging as usual. Please see the first content block on the right for what happened with my blog during the down time.
For those who didn't scroll down, I've started writing set reviews. A content block further down the page lists the ones I've done.
Ugh. I really, really don't like television. It's great, occasionally, but I don't know how people plant themselves in front of their plasma TV and just stay there until the cows come home. It burns to even watch people do that. Mostly, I'm thinking of the co. and their ability to spend inordinate amounts of time watching television. My dad has two large televisions: One in his bedroom, and the other in his living room. That means that no matter where in the house I go (the apartment only has th

Today would be an abnormally normal day if not for one thing. Here, we're going to assume that the definition of a normal day is a day on which nothing of real importance or note occurred. So, today was very normal. We started another guided reading in AP Human Geography, a new section in Algebra II Honors, a new lab in Biology I Honors, a new chapter in Digital Desig
Ugh. Pahrak-Kal is proving to be an incredible pain to take pictures of. I'm trying to increase the quality of my photography, which for me involves creating a plain white background instead of going through the pains of editing one in. Pahrak-Kal's size is making this very difficult; if I try to shoot it from an angle other than head-on, I get a nice shot of it against my kitchen cabinets instead of the white sheet I set up.
Anyway, my goal for today is to get pictures of Pahrak-Kal and star
I am currently in Orlando. I'm writing this entry with my mom's phone in order to practice using the phone's keyboard. After all, soon I will have a phone identical to hers.
It's awesome. Hurrah for elemental powers! The duel between Kiina and Ackcar, with the wall of steam moving between them, was really cool, but I like how they portrayed Gresh's air powers too.
I need to finish my online Algebra course, but all I really want to do is sort my Bionicle parts.
Or make money.
While I'm on the subject of sorting my parts, if anyone has some particularly innovative (or even well-working) way to sort their pieces, I'm open to suggestions.

So, last night. We didn't go to my uncle's because my mom wasn't feeling well. However, my friend did stay ridiculously late - it was around midnight before we dropped him off at his house. We played three games of Heroscape total. My brother and I on a team defeated my friend in the first game - well, actually, he surrendered, but we were killing him anyway. In the s
...building the Jabberwock. I may add some minor bells and whistles after hearing commentary from my family, but it's basically done. Pictures after I return from the beach house; for some reason, nobody brought a good camera.

Well...this is a bit late. I suppose it's more of an evening entry now than an afternoon one. Anyway, before I start on periods five though eight, I want to recount something that happened before school today. But first, some background information: In the center of my school is a structure called the 'Shark Pool' (or 'Fishbowl', for some students). Imagine a large bow

Another day, another morning. I always have a lot of free time in the mornings. You see, I wake up around 4:45 a.m., and school doesn't start until 7:26. On top of that, my school is across the street, and it takes me just five minutes to get there. So, lots of free time. Because of this, I'm going to try to make an entry every morning and afternoon. The morning entry

Every now and then in Digital Design (well, actually, almost every time something is assigned), I will finish ahead of the rest of the class and have a bit of free time on the computer. Fortunately for me, BZPower is not blocked by the school's Websense program. So, as I type, I am sitting in one of the most comfortable chairs in the school, listening to other students
You probably already know that my mom has the T-Mobile G1. The G1 possesses a voice dialing feature - you can speak a contact's name into the phone's microphone and it will call the contact. I decided to use it the other day to call my friend Ding [an alias chosen by my friend for security purposes]. So I activated the voice dialing feature and said to the phone, "Call Ding Chavez."
Nothing happened.
Thinking it just hadn't registered my words, I repeated myself: "Call Ding Chavez." Again,
