Looks like I won’t be going to IMEA tomorrow… On the plus side, it means that I’ll be able to swim one event at the meet tomorrow in order to get credit for YMCA championship meets (since I need to make it to 3 Y-sanctioned meets in order to qualify). I still feel kinda bad about skipping IMEA though, since its an honor to be accepted. But I guess it can’t really be helped.

EDIT: It seems I forgot to post this last night. Strangely, Blogger sets the timestamp before you submit the post, so it still shows up as being from Friday.
Well, I seem to have lost my post. Not much happening tho - I missed school again today cause I still feel crappy, but I should be there tomorrow so that I can do that English skit thing and so I don’t have to make up my chem test. I hope I’m well enough to go to IMEA on Saturday…
I had a bad day today. The math graphing section was especially depressing. For those not so inclined, the parabola is the set of points equidistant from the directrix and the focus.
I’m still sick. I left after history, so I missed chem and math. And since I have IMEA on Saturday, I have to take the PLAN tomorrow morning, killing 1st through 3rd hours. Which means I have to make up a Japanese reading quiz, a Japanese exam, my English play, and the first part of my math test. And of course, I, not being fully sound of mind, totally forgot that I’d be gone tomorrow until I left school today, so Ito Sensei and Mrs. Majerus expect me to be there… Oh well.

Blah Colin Powell quit. (Yes, I know this was announced yesterday, and yes I know that it’d been expected for a year. It’s still bad.) I think that the Daily Show put it best:
With Colin Powell’s resignation, the Bush Administration has lost its most influential moderate. Also, its least influential moderate, its tallest moderate, its shortest moderate, its blackest moderate, its whitest moderate…
Its kinda sad that someone who’s had such a major role in politics for the past 20 years is leaving. Even if I wouldn’t agree with him on everything , Powell still struck me as a reasonable man.

In case you hadn’t noticed, I made a few modifications to the theme. Here’s the original theme for comparison. And yes Jake, I really did make the banner myself this time.
Also, Trillian 3 is pretty cool, in case anyone was wondering.

I was sick today and missed school. Very sad. I guess I missed out on a lot too:
[20:09:15] Spectr 060: whatd i miss today?
[20:09:44] icflames8: IMPORTANT STUFF
[20:09:59] Spectr 060: such as?
[20:10:50] icflames8: WORLD WAR II
[20:10:54] icflames8: AND THE CREATION OF…
[20:10:55] icflames8: rabbits
Or maybe I didn’t miss out on much. Only homework was to finish math review sheet (argh), read a page of history (lunchtime ^__^), and study for Japanese (which I now have two quizzes in tomorrow). I certainly hope I’ll be able to go back to school tomorrow.

And everyone, turn on Atom syndication for your weblogs. It’s really easy. (Image uploaded below.)

I’m kinda sick. I had to go to swim meet tho, since I have to make 3 YMCA-sanctioned meets in order to compete at States. I also had to go to orchestra, since I’d missed 2 of the past 3 rehearsals (and you’re only supposed to miss 2 per semester).
Man, I’d forgotten how good episode 2 of Stand Alone Complex was…
And if you think Super Milk-Chan is stupid, then you’re stupid.

Also, if you have WinXP, I’d suggest getting MS’s PowerToys, primarily the Virtual Desktop Manager (although it is kinda kludgy).

Somewhat short entry today, sorry. I guess I haven’t done much lately.
Argh… Writing a template from scratch is a real pain…
Anyway, some bad news for anime fansubbing: Crustol, the king of dubbing shows that I watch, retired from translating. Pretty depressing, since I’ve watched Fullmetal Alchemist and Naruto with his translations.
In other news, Gundam SEED really owns now. It’s become increasingly more engaging since the beginning.

Well, the half (and by “half” I mean 50 minutes shorter than normal) day was okay. I got back my absolutely dismal chemistry test score… Ugh. I certainly hope I scored better on the history test. I got 5 extra credit points on it, and on a 50 point test, that certainly counts for something. I went to Moonstruck with Tony, Annie, Ford, and Aria after school, where we drank hot chocolate, ate cake, and attempted to play 80 Points, despite the fact that Ford and I had never played before. Oh well. I had to leave at 4 so my mom could pick me up after the teachers’ meeting. Of course, she was about 15 minutes late, so I stood out in the cold in front of the Union for 15 minutes that I would much rather have spent playing cards or whatever inside… Oh well. It seems that I’ve caught my sister’s sore throat at least a little, so my apologies if anything I wrote here is completely senseless or badly worded/punctuated…

This is incredibly depressing. I don’t understand why someone in the UN doesn’t try to do something about this. The US has something of an excuse in the quagmire we call Iraq, but there are other countries out there with militaries, and I’d say that UN intervention here would be much more appropriate than back in Kosovo (although I was only 8 when that was news).

Well, I just tossed on one of the default templates for now. Now that almost everyone else seems to have migrated, I think I’ll set up the Atom feed equivalent of a blogring; basically, a page with links to everyone’s blog and the corresponding XML feed. The feeds will be accessible through Firefox’s Live Bookmark feature, as well as the usual RSS feed readers.
