Something I keep seeing is a complaint that another area, usually a country, gets some product first, whether BIONICLE set, video game, or other-- curse them for getting that "other" first... I hate them so. Anyway, I don't see what the big deal is who gets something first, as long as other places are getting a chance at it (that's key, though I'll explain later).
It's as if people seem to think that just because another place gets something first, they who don't have will enjoy it less w
I don't have to go to either of my jobs today (FYI, I work two part time jobs: Toys R Us and my college bookstore). I just wish I knew that before I got to my 4 AM job at Toys R Us, only to find out it wasn't necessary; icy roads in the dark can be treacherous. At least I was called ahead of time from the bookstore to be informed it'll be closed all day (the school didn't even open until noon).
I just wish I had known that I could've stayed in bed today or at least slept later. Oh well, may
So that data entry job I had was temporary (if they need me again, they'll call me). But fear not, for I have procured another profession, this one of a full time nature.
I'm going to be working in a bank at night (it's kind of complicated to explain what exactly I'll be doing). This coincides well with my schedule, and since I don't start for about 2-3 weeks, it allows me to deal with a fast-paced online class before then. Woot! Life's been a bit crazy lately, but things are looking up righ
Yes, we all know that BIONCLE has been around for less than a decade, and LEGO gets complaints for its clone (or almost clone) sets. But hasn't Nintendo been doing basically the same thing with Pokémon for ten years? We've been playing the same thing for years, and there's no uproar against Nintendo for this.
Let's not forget that with Pokémon, the games are limited within their own universe: Pokémon can't be put into another universe. It's the same thing everytime you go through the game: yo
As promised, I'll reveal how I normally spend my Wednesday mornings during the school year.
Brace yourself.
I volunteer.
That's right, I volunteer at my local arboretum: "arbor" means trees, and "etum" means... place that has trees. Okay, I'm kidding about that last definition, but what I do does involve helping children learn about trees. If there's ever a place to volunteer, your local arboretum, if available, is a place to go: there's nothing like being out in nature.

SATURDAY
I went with some of my church's youth group to a Cleveland Indians vs. Texas Rangers baseball game. (There was a MercyMe concert beforehand. Yay!) The game wasn't that great: the first pitcher allowed one home run and a grand slam in the first half of the first inning (Boo!). The game ended 6-5: we're still skeptical of that last point we didn't get.
SUNDAY
After church, I spent the day digging through a mess for important documentation. Um, yay, mess.
MONDAY
With a few friends
No wait, I think that's a typo.

I interrupt this blog entry to bring you an important message... okay, an interesting one.
Believe it or not, I was actually going to set up a joke and have a picture of red socks here, so I did an image search on Yahoo. I got several results (far more than I wanted/expected), so I tried some other colors. Same results: way too many. Finally, I put in "socks" and got 1,109,206 results; I then proceeded to Google and got 3,140,000 re
If you can't tell by that terribly annoying pun, I now have access to playing a Wii at home. My brother and I stood in line for nigh eight hours to get a Wii during launch hour (Central Standard Time), and it was worth it... well, we've only actually had opportunity to play the Wii once (sans demo for me), but soon...
In reality, I'm not talking about the Wii itself: I'm talking about hanging out with fellow nerds. (Yes, we waited that long for previously unreleased technology; therefore, we
