So much for 'until tomorrow.' Here's the update:

Sunday (July 26) was mostly uneventful. On Monday (July 27), my mom and dad traded cars so that everyone (me, my dad, my siblings, and the co.) could go to Busch Gardens, a local theme park with roller coasters and animals. Teusday (July 28) contained several events. First, I built a prototype body for Pahrak Kal, which was torn down shortly thereafter because it didn't allow for the unique requirements of the arm. Then, later in the day, we found out that not only would my sister be going to the Magic Kingdom (a Disney Park, the one with Cinderalla's castle) on the 29th, but would also be staying that night in a hotel with my dad and the co. and be going to Sea World (a sister park of Busch Gardens) the next day. So she packed and when my mom came home, she was dropped at my dad's apartment. After that, the most interesting thing of the day happened. My brother and I had come with my mother to drop our sister, and so were (in my brother's case) dragged to the mall afterward. While there, I encountered a Books-a-Million, and decided to check for any Bionicle books I didn't yet own, since Barnes & Noble and Borders had both stopped selling them. Imagine my delight when I discovered that not only did they sell Bionicle books, but had a single copy of Raid on Vulcanus waiting for me on the shelf! I immediately snatched it up and pulled out a five-dollar bill that I had been saving for this very occasion, and walked out of the store a proud owner of the latest Bionicle book. Needless to say, the book was finished before I went to bed that night, and it was a good book.

Today, very little has happened. I woke up about 40 minutes ago, worked to get my mom up (she should already have been gone), and began writing this entry. I was supposed to sit in on a college psychology lecture with my uncle today, but that was canceled because the lectures were over - this week's 'lesson' was a party, and next week was exams. So, instead, my grandmother will be picking me up at around half past noon for lunch and some clothes shopping. Not in retail stores, mind you - my grandmother is the queen of thrift and bargain. Beyond that, however, nothing else is planned for today.
