This past year, I've developed a habit most unusual for me: napping. I would have never seen it coming, but since my school lengthened the school day by 22 minutes this year, I've found it necessary to recharge my batteries upon entering the safe haven of my home once again. It got really bad this past week, because I slept for hours every day. I don't think I once ate dinner with the rest of my family those past five days. Just yesterday, Friday, I fell asleep around 7

My family is gone all day, driving my brother to a band camp a couple states away. I'm alone now. But it's not so bad when it's just me and the computer!
It's getting close to that time when all of the Lego Magazines arrive in everybody's mailboxes. Unfortunately, I'm one of those sad people whose magazines don't come until weeks after people post the heck out of them on BZPower . I might have gotton my magazine really early once.

"If I see you playing with anything during the movie, I will take whatever it is away and not give it back. If I see you doing homework, I will take it away and not give it back. If I hear a cell phone ringing, I will take it away and not give it back. If I see you put your head down, I will take it away and not give it back."

A week before last Tuesday, a new Battle for Power game for Tanma was put onto the Bionicle website. The player needs to reach the end of a long tunnel, moving forward only by pressing the up-arrow key for upward thrust while drifting forward. The player picks up powerups for speeding up and for refueling. Pressing the space bar causes Tanma to release a powerful light blast that destroys any Makuta in your way.

Today I took a science test. I thought I was doing do well when I was taking it, but later I realized that I did horribly on the written part because an alpha-D-glucose bonded to a beta-D-glucose does not make sucrose! I'm gonna die on my finals.
Has anyone seen that movie called The Mission? How depressing.

I've noticed that this winter all of the chicks are wearing these really fancy, high-tech-looking boots of various brands. They all look like they must do something besides keep feet warm, and they seem to be a big hit. Now, I don't know if they know it, but I foresee that the next fashion trend will be...

Today was my second day of exams. Sorta.
We have an entrely different schedule from normal for exams days. Exams are split up into three days with three exam periods each -- that means I have only three (longer) classes in a day rather than the normal nine periods. For example, I had periods 1, 3, and 4 yesterday -- three of my hardest classes. Of course, if someone has a free period, lunch period, or class that doesn't have an exam, he or she doesn't have to att

TGIF, and I'm glad I made it. This week was way too long. Fortunately, I have some more down time before the big finals. My Greek final...it'll be okay; I know what I'm doing. Science needs attention - NOW. So does math. Today my religion teacher handed me a three-page list of things I need to study, so that will take some time to go over. And as for English, I will do my best to be prepared.

Do you ever get the feeling that the day is too short? Do you feel like you had no morning? Do you sometimes even get mad at yourself for waking up at lunchtime because you feel that you were shortchanged a few hours of your day?
That's who I am. Because it's summer, my whole schedule shifts so that I sleep only past midnight and wake up only past eleven. So this morning I forced myself to wake up at 7:15, just to experience what morning feels like again.
Now I r

Today was really tiring. Another late night, early morning. I'm barely running on Pepsi even now. :wakeup2: I get a day off from summer school tomorrow again. Goodbye now.

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.

Did you know that on America's roads there is a whole lane dedicated to safe, legal drivers?
It's called the right lane.
Drive responsibly.

...Oh, right.
I'm adding a new thing to my entries now: Ancient Greek Word of the Day. You know, every day I post a word from the Classical Greek language ('cuz it's so cool). Today's GWotD is:

Derivatives: George, georgic, geo- prefix

I'm thinking I need more actual Bionicle news in this blog for archive. You know, instead of nonsense.
Biocast: Dark Mirror 3 is on the web today at www.bioniclestory.com.
In this chapter, Takanuva has escaped his prison with his old Takua self, having thrashed some Vahki guards on the way out. He heads down into the Archives looking for the Rahi Krahka. What he finds in the Archives instead of artifacts and static Rahi are trophies of Toa conquests, the most s

At least I think I broke a world record. I'm talking about lateness in receiving the Lego mag. That's right -- it is the 23rd of the next month, and I have have just now finally, finally received my Brickmaster magazine. I've always gotten my Lego magazine on the late side, and I've tolerated that. But this is totally ridiculous! What's happening over there at Lego!? Come on, the new comic made it on Bionicle.com over a week before I received my own in print! And you kn
I hope one of these puts a smile on your face. No, I didn't make them. Give credit to the artists' names in the watermarks.
Notice how all of the Google ads at the top of my blog are about staples now. Hmmm...coincidence?

Transliteration: polus
Translation: much, many
Derivatives: anything with the poly- prefix
The greek letter "u" (upsilon) is transliterated as "y" through Latin. Polu, the neuter form of this adjective, becomes poly and serves as the prefix so often used

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
Smells like a steak, and seats thirty five?
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Hey, hey!
Twelve yards long, two lanes wide,
Sixty-five tons of American pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Canyonero! Canyonero!

I just got back from my week-long trip. I've gone so long without a TV, I could just watch PBS for hours on end. This week I found out that I don't do too well without a couple hours of brain-numbing activity daily. I start to notice things that are outside that way .
On my trip I finished the first of my two summer reading books (yes, without TV I start reading, I mean really, READING!). That was good. On my trip I also scored an old typewriter from family. I'm not su

It's a sad day in Chicago today. Especially with it being the first day of the school week . And it's so cold it's hard to breathe.
