Please, can't it stay like this for the rest of the year? It got up to about 65 degree today. Lovely day. Sadly, a cold front is about to come through. <<
So my brother is spending the week in the hospital. He was having a hard time breathing while stretching before basketball practice, so he was rushed to PriMed. They didn't find anything, so they sent him to the hospital. They found out that 15% of his lungs have collapsed. He's ok now, but it's rather odd that it would happen to him.
So the midterm ended last week, and teachers are starting to get their grades ready to be turned in to be sent out to all the parents who eagerly await to see how their child is progressing in school. Normally, my parents would just take a quick glance over mind and expect to see all "As", but it's changed this time around.
Although, it is partially my fault. I mean, if I had just taken the time to write down a few more notes in Chemistry class, I wouldn't have gotten a 10 on the quiz grade h
...is about the coolest show on television right now. Big swords, wicked fight scenes, and an excellent storyline. Doesn't get much better than that.
In other news, Elebits for the Nintendo Wii is actually a pretty fun game. It's strangly addicting and the controls are very smooth. I'd buy it if it were any deeper, but alas, GameFly is just the way to go for this game.
And I had to work today. It was pretty slow up until 8:59pm. And we close at 9:00pm, people. When you see the manager wal
So I'm sure any of you who read my blog know that I had off school today. I woke up around 10:45 or so, and got a call from a good friend asking if I wanted to go to his house to play some games. I couldn't refuse, so I brought along my Xbox360 Harddrive, a controler, and a few games. I must say, it felt great to be able to play some games again. I hooked my HardDrive onto his 360 so we were able to play Gears of War on XboxLive. I am now re-addicted to that game, and I can't even play it at my
No school tomorrow or Friday! It's about time I get a few days off.
Now, if only I had my Xbox to make the days off even better...
I laugh at you as you go to school tomorrow and Friday.
Yes, you do.
And you will bid on them.
*jedimindtricksftw*
So my 360 won't play any games now. I guess I'll have to send it to Microsoft for them to repair.
Again.
So this entry title serves two purposes:
First, it's been rather cold lately. About two weeks ago it got into the 70s. And to make things worse, my school has to be the lamewads that only allows the students to wear "official uniform jackets" even when it's bitter cold outside. Plus, those jackets cost a fortune, and are the ugliest things I've ever seen. The uniforms in general are pieces of junk, but that's a whole new topic.
Second, so I bought this lovely new game called Lost Planet. G
"George Romero Will Be At Our Wedding"
I was looking for you when I first heard the sirens
The ambulances filled the streets
The masses screamed and called for help
You were no where next to me
The soldiers came to round up the living
And take them away to somewhere that’s safe
But if I cant find you there’s no place to save me
If you are gone then its too late
Night turns to dawn, and dawn into day
And the land overflows with the dead
Where did I last hold you in my arm
"Give me back my saaaandwich!"
Oh, and I finally got up to 10,000 gamerpoints. *points to Gamercard on left hand side of blog*
In other news, I'm no longer "expecting."
Guitar Hero is one of the greatest video games I have ever played. It's amazingly fun rocking out to those classic rock songs, such as Sweet Child O Mine, by none other than Guns N Roses. There are plenty of other songs to shred to, including Trogdor, as made famous by Strongbad. I would have bought this game a long time ago if I had a PS2, but luckily, they are making one for the Xbox360 which I believe is being released in March. That will own, especially since Xbox Live opens up the opportuni
Inside joke. No school Monday, whoo.
Monologue due Tuesday, boo.
So we finished and published our first school news paper. I must say, I was mighty proud for only having 3 days to work on it. It needs a little more "mmph" to it, but it's still nice. This yearbook/journalism class is more fun than I thought it would be.
Underoath & Taking Back Sunday concert in Birmingham on Feb. 25th. I'm so there.
So tomorrow is my first test of 2007. The test is on American Lit, so it should be fairly easy to memorize all of the authors and such...I just wish they didn't throw in artists too. Hopefully I'll do exceptionally well on this test, because I pretty much bombed the first quiz (but it was a pop-quiz, so it's not my fault ).
But anywho, Lost Planet comes out on Friday!! I'm probably more excited about this game than I was for GoW. I didn't know how good GoW was until I bought it, but I actua
So it was pretty much the coldest it's been all school year the -first- day we get back from Christmas break. Odd, because a few days before Christmas, I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
And don't you just love it when you're in school on a Federal holiday, and when none of the other school in your town will be open for another 2 days or so?
I'm ready for '08.
So I finally got an MP3 player. Due to certain circumstances, the finances were lacking around the 25th of December at my house, so not until today was I able to pick up my main Christmas present. Of course, I had to chip in a little moola ($100..)to get this gift, but let me tell you, it was worth it.
I picked up a brown Microsoft Zune and my initial reaction is that it is completely awesome. 3" screen makes quite a difference when you are watching videos, and the interface is way nicer tha
We basically had our Christmas on Christmas Eve, because my sister and her husband came over and we all had our big Christmas meal that evening. I brought up my Wii and hooked it up to our 52" TV and my brother-in-law brought over his 2 controlers, so we had a big Wii Sports party. It was all fun. My step dad really got into the golf, of course. I was having a great time, until I got asked to come into work...
I worked Friday and Saturday, so I was looking forward to having Sunday off. Good t
I love movies. Especially the action-y kind. So a few new trailers have been released for movies that should be entertaining for me in 2007.
The first one would be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle trailer. Now, I was never really into the whole TMNT thing, but I absolutely loved the Lost in Time (or whatever the title was) game for the SNES. I always had to be the purple one with the staff. But yeah, the trailer gave us a nice peek at what seems to be a good movie: some nice action, with a l
Junior High called. They want their drama back.
It's just a contest, folks.
On a completely unrelated note:
I'm almost at 10,000 gamerpoints, as you can see to the left hand side of my blog. I'm pretty proud of the accomplishmen; it's taken a while, but with more and more good Xbox360 games being released, it shouldn't be too long before I reach 20,000 points.
Bungie released a short video documentary about Brutes, and how they are changing the characters to best fit into Halo
Ok, so I went into this movie thinking that it was going to be the best movie I've seen all year. Boy, could I have been any more wrong...
First, what was up with the length? An hour and thirty-nine minutes. Yeah, you want to keep it short to keep everyone's attention, but the thing is, film-makers shouldn't have to keep a movie short to keep everyone's attention. The movie alone should keep everyone's attention. And I can say that if the movie were done right, it would have kept everyone's a
So I found out that I'm exempt from all of my exams except for one. I'm not too worried about taking it, though, it's only English. The only thing I'm worried about is not getting enough time to finish the composition after the actual test. But I managed to pull out an essay (including outline, rough draft, and editing the rough draft) in about 30 minutes or so today. But once I'm done with this exam...
School's out for the year!!
A lot of people I know aren't getting out until -next- w
Well, my oldest sister has finally graduated from nursing school. The end of the road was a little rough, but she made it out just fine. Two members of the extended family came down from New Jersey yesterday to attended the pinning ceremony and the official graduation today, so it was nice to see them. I didn't have to go to school today, so I missed 2 test (history and English) that I'll have to make up on Monday. The teachers were supposed to have all of the grades down by today at 3PM, but oh
Just hit me that we only have 30 more days left in the year 2006. I don't know about you, but this year has been a great year. Next year should be even better, because I'll be a senior next year! But not to get ahead of myself...
Ungh, Christmas vacation starts in about two weeks, and we all know what that means. Exams. Normally, I'd be exempt from all of my exams, but as we have a not-so-good teacher for Algebra 2 and Chemistry, I don't know if I'll be exempt or not. Of course, the only thin
K, so I got a Wii early Sunday morning, and am I glad I did.
First off, the console is just plain fun. Wii Sports comes packaged with the console, and right after I set up the Wii I was swinging away in Tennis. My favorite game is definately the Boxing one. Bowling was pretty fun as well. I was also able to score the Legend of Zelda yesterday. Lordy, that game is pure ownage. The graphics aren't even that bad, really. Now, they aren't anywhere near like what a 360 or a PS3 can do, but for su
Auburn won the Iron Bowl (fifth year in a row, btw). Ohio State won the biggest game of the year.
I so called them both. Boy, are they gonna hear it at school...
Torhu, Kohaku and Toaraga all got to get their hands on a Wii demo, and finally, I did too...
I played Excite Truck. Still can't believe how small the wii-mote is. I knew it would be small, but not that small. Maybe I just have big hands...Anywho, yeah, ExciteTruck wasn't as exciting as it could be. It'd make a pretty fun online game, or party game, of course. I wouldn't honestly pay more than $45 for it. The controls worked pretty well. I want to go back and play some more.
So supposedly
Yes, this week is officially being called "THE Week" by me because it is the week that both the Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii are going to be released. I myself don't plan on bying a PS3 anytime soon, but my local Wal-Mart had a display up, and I must say it was -very- shiney. They didn't have a Wii demo, just the little banner above the section where the games will be. I do hope to be visiting a few Gamestops in town this week to see if they have any kiosks up. I've been reading more and m
