For some reason, my Brickmaster sets arrive at my home very early, whereas my magazines come late the following month. Would that it were the other way around. The set was Thulox. Nothing new, pretty disappointing, so don't get too excited.
But on this glorious day off from school of mine, should I see Spider-Man 3?

Anyone familiar with my older blog entries knows that I absolutely hate iPods. What does not make sense, however, is the fact that for the past year I have been using my own video iPod to listen to music. This has come to an end as of my birthday four days ago. I now have a portable multimedia device from ARCHOS. My new Archos is everything the iPod failed to be for me. Instead of needing to import and convert/sync files through the painfully slow iTunes program, all I ne

-- It's April 11. My bedroom faces the busy street on which our house sits, so I always wake up to the sound of tires streaking across asphault. But this morning I woke up to another sound I know very well: tires rolling across wet asphault. The bed of my brother, who had obviously woken up to eat breakfast or do whatever he does first thing in the morning, was empty. With our bedroom door closed, I strode to our bedroom window excitedly, thinking perhaps that the tenn

Hey there, BZPower! Today is a very special day. Very, very special for me. Can you guess why? Well, I guess I should tell you anyway. Here it is -- the new comedy show Thank God You're Here premiered on NBC tonight!
Um, yeah, it's my birthday too, smart one.
Yeah, this is the part where I give a long list of things I gawt, but... nobody cares, so... um, I don't feel like typing all that junk if no one's gonna read it. But I will use this space to wish you a very h

Yesterday -- for the first time, I drove behind the wheel of a car.
It was my first behind-the-wheel driving lesson. The instructor showed surprise when she heard that I hadn't at least practiced with my parents before the lesson. I'd been putting that off, as I had never been getting a decent chance after school days to fit in some driving. I have to get my naps in, you know? Well, after my friend and I exchanged positions from the back seat to the driver's next t

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

Last month, as usual, I got my Brickmaster magazine really, really late, like on the 28th or so. Not only did the magazine come late, but it came without any plastic covering over it, both the front and back covers had been torn off, and the spine of the whole thing had been badly beaten up. I called LEGO customer service, and they readily shipped out another magazine to replace the mutilated one. I finally got that one about a week-and-a-half later, and even then, the
Turaga of Mata Nui
Shortly after the Great Cataclysm, the six Toa Metru – Vakama, Onewa, Matau, Nokama, Whenua, and Nuju – were charged with transporting the comatose Matoran of Metru Nui to a new home: the island of Mata Nui. After an incredible struggle against the Visorak hordes in Metru Nui, the Toa Metru were able to bring the Matoran to the surface of Mata Nui in six airships. With their destiny as Toa fulfilled, the only task that lay before the Toa Metru was awakening the Matoran,

It all happens so fast in the new Bionicle short movie that I never noticed this until I watched it the tenth time or so.
Kalmah has the mask and fires a squid at Ehlek, Ehlek fires it back, Pridak comes up from behind and -- wouldn't you know, he slices right through Kalmah's tentacle with his blade, making it spill blood into the water. (Although, please, I ask you not to resurrect the blood on Pridak's face argument, as I sorely recall that debate.)

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.

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

Hey guys. Here I am, at 11:25 PM on the night before my semester exams start, posting a blog entry for the first time in several days. Sorry I haven't posted an entry in a while, it's just been one of those weekends where I'm not paying too much attention to my blog.
Just a summary of what's been happening in my life lately, both on- and offline: Semester Exams. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I have three of my most rugged tests tomorrow. I've studied a bunch, bu

Look back at yesterday's entry, which was about my brother's school getting canceled. Well, we have a plot twist, friends.
I was in one of my high school classes yesterday when another student said to me, "Someone broke into your school."
"What?" I said, at first a little taken by surprise, since my old grade school doesn't come up in conversation much anymore, especially with students who didn't go there with me.
Sure enough, he told me that someone had br

Today was my first day back to school . Felt like a monday . Gotta hate those.
So I have to get up at 6:40. I come downstairs after washing my face, getting dressed, etc. I'm eating a bagel when we get a phone call. My dad picks up.
"Hello?"
...
"This is he."
...
"Oh...really?"
...
"Alright then... would you happen to know what the reason is for this?"
...
"So, you're not really sure, you're just happy to pass along the news ."

First of all, allow me to say happy new year! I sure am looking forward to 2007!
Secondly, sorry about the fact that I haven't posted since... the other day... I forget which one exactly. It was about iPods.
Guess what -- this entry's about iPods too!
Looking back on Christmas shopping at Office Max... I cannot tell you how many items had a totally unneccessary iPod station built into them. I mean desk lamps, televisions... dishwashers . Serously though, i

That's right, we got locked out of our house yesterday. My parents just walked right out the door without checking for keys. That's the price you pay for wanting to spend time at the park, I guess .
How did we get back in? Well, our neighbor still had a key to our house from the time she looked over our cat while we were gone over Thanksgiving. Yeah, I have some thanksgiving for that right now . Actually, there was one problem -- she was at work and we weren't e
