    Here's this week's song, suggested by Ringo. It's Back in the USSR.
     
    Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
    Didn't get to bed last night
    Oh, the way the paper bag was on my knee
    Man, I had a dreadful flight
    I'm back in the USSR
    You don't know how lucky you are, boy
    Back in the USSR, yeah
     
    Been away so long I hardly knew the place
    Gee, it's good to be back home
    Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
    Honey disconnect the phone
    I'm back in the USSR
    You don't know how lucky you are, boy
    Back in the US
    Back in the US
    Back in the USSR
     
    Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
    They leave the west behind
    And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
    They Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind
    Oh, come on
    Hu Hey Hu, hey, ah, yeah
    yeah, yeah, yeah
    I'm back in the USSR
    You don't know how lucky you are, boys
    Back in the USSR
     
    Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
    They leave the west behind
    And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
    They Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind
     
    Oh, show me round your snow peaked
    mountain way down south
    Take me to you daddy's farm
    Let me hear you balalaika's ringing out
    Come and keep your comrade warm
    I'm back in the USSR
    Hey, You don't know how lucky you are, boy
    Back in the USSR
    Oh, let me tell you honey

    This week Blue Jay Way was voted for by two members, so it's this week's song.
     
    There's a fog upon L.A.
    And my friends have lost their way
    We'll be over soon they said
    Now they've lost themselves instead.
    Please don't be long please don't you be very long
    Please don't be long or I may be asleep
    Well it only goes to show
    And I told them where to go
    Ask a policeman on the street
    There's so many there to meet
    Please don't be long please don't you be very long
    Please don't be long or I may be asleep
    Now it's past my bed I know
    And I'd really like to go
    Soon will be the break of day
    Sitting here in Blue Jay Way
    Please don't be long please don't you be very long
    Please don't be long or I may be asleep.
    Please don't be long please don't you be very long
    Please don't be long
    Please don't be long please don't you be very long
    Please don't be long
    Please don't be long please don't you be very long
    Please don't be long
    Don't be long - don't be long - don't be long
    Don't be long - don't be long - don't be long.

    On the roadtrip back from LA, we heard a lot of Beatles songs on the Radio. Some of them were...
     
    -She Loves You
    -All you need is love
    -Something
    -Octopus's Garden
    -Your Mother should Know
    -Maxwell's Silver Hammer
     
    For Song of the Week this week, you guys pick your top 3 of these, because I want to choose a song I heard in the car, but need to let you BZeatles decide which one. (This choosing system isn't going to become regular, in case you were wondering.)

    So today, I worked at a thing in the city, this christmas event for homeless children. I helped them decorate gingerbread men, took dishes, put out candy, set up tables and chairs.
     
    All around me were little children and their families, none of whom had homes of their own. It really put into perspective just how lucky and privileged I and all the rest of those who have houses really are... I felt almost guilty about how I have it all, and they have nothing. So it was both rewarding and heartbreaking to be volunteering to help them.

    I was really obsessed with the winter '09 sets, so I made this to look at them on, without having to open 14 different windows.
     
    What do you think?

    Myself and two other people each pitched in a dollar to buy a $3 giant thing of s'mores Pop Tarts at lunch today. The thing had in it 6 packets of two pastries.
     
    The first guy who helped to buy the stuff actually owed me money, so I got half of his share.
     
    The other one didn't show up to claim his lot at all.
     
    So I was left with 5 packets of delicious Pop Tarts.
     
    I sold four of them, first for a dollar a pack, then a dollar a pastry, then, in a climax of rip-off-ness, $2 for one Pop Tart. That's paying 2/3 of the original price for 1/12 of the original value. (What can I say... the customers were very hungry and desperate for Pop Tarts during class.)
     
    Yeah, I made a massive profit (about $5), as well as got to eat many a delicious Pop Tart, out of a simply $1 contribution.
     
    Can't help but feel sorta dishonest, though.

    Gresh and Skrall. They're pretty cool. Went to TRU hoping to pick up a buncha Atlantis sets, but they had none. The only 2010 stuff I found happened to be Gresh and Skrall, so I bought them, and reviewed Skrall.
     
    I have very little to say on that topic.
     
    Other topics, yeah, I could prolly type thousands of words on. But it'd all be complaining and stuff. Nobody wants to hear that, and I don't wanna burden y'all with my IRL difficulties, considering I bet they aren't near as bad as a lot of other problems out there.

    Today, all the art students in my grade got to go and see a presentation by ILM (Yeah, the special effects peeps) about how they do their stuff for movies. We got to see some awesome concept art for Pirates of the Carribean 3, Iron Man, and Transformers.
     
    It was really cool, seeing how they had to digitally make every miniscule part of a Transformer, then put it together into a figure, only to have it explode in a scene. Plus, they showed us a lot of cool (and oftentimes nostalgic) clip shows of movies they did in the past, like Star Wars and E.T., as well as some more recent stuff.
