(bleh, need to find that clip in better quality so I can make a better GIF)
I has book report. =(
It's boring. =(
I think most of it's going to be... "filler material." There's a more common, two-letter name for it, but I'm not allowed to say it here.
Our school got another bomb threat. I'll bet it was a freshman. Stupid freshmen. You know, I don't think I've made fun of freshmen nearly enough this year so far, and I'm a senior! It's practically a duty.
In any case they evacuated us for 20 minutes in which we had to stand outside in the cold and in which a good amount of seniors wandered off to the parking lot and drove home.
What's funny is, the threat was obviously discovered before C lunch, because that's when they announced a facult
You know why they have those cracks in the sidewalk? Because when it's hot in the summer, the concrete in the sidewalk expands, and when it's cold in the winter, it contracts, right? That way there's room for the little cracks in the sidewalk to get bigger or smaller as the concrete blocks contract or expand with the cold or the heat, all respectively. So the concrete doesn't instead crack or buckle as it heats and cools alternately.
Well apparently they do that in roads too, it's just had to
I hate retainers. I mean, yeah I guess it's much less noticeable than braces and stuff and at least it means I'm on the home stretch but wearing them 24/7 for a whole month stinks!
Oh did I mention I got my braces off? Well let me do it now then: I GOT MY BRACES OFF! =3
But anyway the thing about wearing retainers 24/7 except when eating is that you can't really snack unless you wanna take them out, eat your snack, rinse your mouth, rinse your retainers, and put them back in, which is just
A screenshot doesn't do it justice. That's because this OP sequence really dove into the true potential of the animated medium. I mean, watching this really drives home the point of why they animate and don't just show a slideshow of images. Crazy graphic design elements, kinetic typography, lots of brilliant movement and colors... you simply have to see this sequence in action.
This may very well be my favorite OP sequence of all time.
The ED is amazing, too, for that matter.
As for th
AKA my Mom unwittingly invites over 40 people to our house after assuming that most would be too busy to come and after colleagues who weren't invited got offended so she had to invite them, too. Really mostly co-workers and their families. But... massive...
Lucky we got a finished basement now, increases usable square footage, and the home theater kept the kids amused. They spent the time watching that Ben 10 movie on Cartoon Network. Admittedly I spent an hour and a half doing the same thin
My sister is going to KINDERGARTEN this fall!
FWEE I'm so proud of her... She's actually going to be going to a real SCHOOL!
Yester... uh, was it yesterday or the day before? Anyway, my mom went and got all the kindergarten registration stuff... kinda crazy, they need the original birth certificate and original deed to the house and probably your mother's aunt's maiden name. I mean, is it really THAT important to have all that stuff? My mom was going crazy over it.
But anyway, still. S
Now that all the plugins and such are installed, got a printer properly connected (I washed the dishes in exchange for my dad figuring out the printer. I think I got the better end of the deal), got Flash, quicktime, Firefox, haven't gotten AIM or YIM installed yet but I'm using one of them online IM thingies... anyway, now that I got it all mostly comfortable, same old wallpaper, all my files from the old comp... I gotta say, it's scary. Before if I left the comp on late at night my parents cou
We watched the same one last year.
HILARIOUS. AS. ANYTHING.
I'm getting this odd feeling of Deja vu, did I already write about this?
Anyway they have the mannequin on fire to demonstrate "stop drop and roll" and the raging inferno, and one guy looks up and goes "hey, fire!" and the really corny acting where the narrator goes "if you follow, safety procedures, chemistry can be FUN!" and the kid gives this huge, fake smile...
The funniest part, unfortunately, I probably shouldn't put h
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS!
Aw man, I just finished it, after borrowing it on Monday... and it was really good. I kinda do wish he'd developed the ending more, because you know, you grow to love those characters, but I suppose a happy future was implied and the rest is best left up to the imagination. The sort-of-epilogue was nice, I liked it.
But see, now I'm really angry.
Because the film rights to the books have been sold...
AND THEY'RE ONLY MAKING TWO.
Yes that's ri
So we had guests yesterday and so today my parents were drinking the leftover wine.
And my sister was like, "That's beer!" and I said, "No, it's wine," and then as a joke I added, "It's like what you do all the time."
And then my sister said, "There are three kinds of wine. There's the wine that you drink, the wine that's in the jungles, and the whine that's like waaaah, waaah."
And then I'm like, "... the wine in the jungles?"
Oh and I also forgot to mention that my sister lost her
So someone on another forum put it aptly. To paraphrase:
"We know something Haruhi is coming this April. We just have no idea what. Thank you Kadokawa."
At least it's not an outright denial since Newtype didn't explicitly say it was a rerun and they used images obviously from Disappearance... in the end however, all the news was utterly ambiguous. *sigh* Well, as I was a latecomer to the fanbase, this hasn't happened to me before... I feel sorry for the people for whom this is the fourth t
Well, let me start off by saying that my sister is six today, and I got to sing Happy Birthday to her via cell phone. ^w^ But since I mentioned that yesterday, let us move on.
We ended up only playing Laser Tag for the first twenty minutes XD. We went on the Bumper Boats twice, shot water balloons at each other, and somehow found two hundred tickets just lying around the arcade area; after losing track of three dollars worth of tokens of course... *sigh* (NOT MY FAULT) But we probably wouldn'
Well, today was a VERY good day.
For one thing I missed Latin, Gym, Math, and English. And the rest of the entire day of school.
Why? Because I went to observe the NJ Chemistry Olympics hosted on the beautiful campus of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, or NJIT. People have called it the "MIT of New Jersey." My response to that is: "NO DUH."
Anyway, this year I'm in Honors Chem, and only AP Chem students can compete, but I was invited to come as a guest since I'd be taking AP Ch
HAH! All you silly people who can only count to 10 with your fingers! I can count from zero to 1023 on my FINGERS!

You know what that is?
That's how much money I'd have if I had a quarter for every time I sneezed today.
46 sneezes. Geez. Assuming that I'm going to have a... 14 hour day, that makes, what, something like 3.5 sneezes an hour? A little less than that, but nevertheless... scary.
Yesterday I ended the day with only six bucks!
Allergies... yeesh.
I wonder why they're called "loanwords."
It's not like the language plans to give the word back once it's done with it, is it?
Blatant advertising line.
It's amazing, isn't it...
My parents both went to college, then graduate school. Both have PhD's. And my dad spends his days doing computer programing to boot! He orders new "toys" all the time, various new high-speed stuff, more memory, and gadgets I can't even begin to fathom the function of.
Now recently our family cell phone plan has been switching around and all, and I have no idea what my parents have been doing to it but we've got a family set of brand spankin' new phones, with all
I MADE THE FINALS! =D
Yaaaaaay.

Plx? =<
Yeah, it seems to be a rather brutal poll this time for some reason... everyone has something to say about the entries.
While I understand the color scheme argument (I personally like it, but it looks like plenty disagree) I would like to point out something to someone who posted a comment that confused me for a moment until I realized what they were saying. Apparently they were complaining that the fin would look different from the o
According to my record I've read 38 books outside of school since the beginning of the school year. I'm almost certain I've forgotten at least five off the list since I always forget to add at least the title before I return the books and I have to wrack my mind for what I've missed and I always get the nagging feeling that I haven't quite got them all.
Anyway, I read quite a lot. It makes the bus ride to and from school more interesting.
So running down the list, here are the books that r
So we're leaving the robotics lab and we open the front door and suddenly we realize...
It's raining freakin' cats and dogs. And "other small furry animals" as I believe someone else put it.
Since I learned my lesson the last time I got caught in the rain, I had an umbrella on me. So my top half didn't get wet, but my bottom half did, basically. It was raining that hard. Like, there's this huge stone overhang over the entrance to Wean Hall where the robotics lab is, huge ol' shelter I mean
