Blah. This week’s Gundam SEED Destiny is a recap, and new Naruto isn’t out yet.
AMC 12 is on Tuesday. Remind me again why I’m the only person in the sophmore class taking the 12?
Betrayers of Kamigawa looks fun. As Dom put it, “Magic: Now with NINJERS”.

Saw House of Flying Daggers at the Art on Saturday. Pretty good movie. TOO many plot twists though. There normally isn’t such a thing, but the characters’ motives begin to contradic themselves. The fighting was pretty neat. And also, dramatic season changes. Like, summer to fall to winter over the course of three or four days. And if you like rape, this is the movie for you. Ew. It’s PG-13, so not that kinda ew, but still.

History test went well, tho I did badly on the chem quiz. Only 10 pt quiz tho.

I’m becoming a bit paranoid about viruses or something. I’ve got two anti-virus programs running (though one’s out of date), a hardware and a software firewall, and check what programs are accessing the Internets fairly often. Oh well, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten Trojaned, which isn’t bad for someone running XP Home.

Blah I have to go. More tomorrow or something.

History test tomorrow shouldn’t be too bad. I did alright on that math test/quiz that took the whole hour too. Japanese kaiwa quiz got delayed to Thursday for me, and the start of the speech isn’t due until Friday. Also, Illinois came back to win the game vs. Wisconsin. So yay for that.
Swim practice was hard… Too much butterfly. 750 butterfly pull; I’ll be sore for days.

I’m so 1336.

I’m so 1336.
I totally forgot to get the math problem numbers and lost my English syllabus. Got a scan of the latter from Ford tho now, so thats okay.
Oh man, I got the new Pillows album. (Illegally… but it’s pretty niche Japanese music, what’re you gonna do?) Original torrent. I’ll burn an iTunes CD w/ the album cover and better ID3 tags if anyone asks. FYI, the Pillows are the people who did the music for FLCL/Furi Kuri/Fooly Cooly.

ahh, to go to winter formal or not?

I’m thinking not. Sorry, but I didn’t get back home until just now, and I’m really tired and hungry. I’ll prolly jsut do some homework and watch anime for the rest of the night. Wait, no. I have KOTOR2 to play, since its due back at Blockbuster tomorrow. I won’t be able to beat it tonight tho… :(
Jake/Spencer/Taotao’s appeal was denied by the provost. Unsurprising, but still sad. Good luck at UHS/wherever to them.

I haven’t put anything up here since Friday. Blame it on KOTOR2. That game is teh own. I only have it till Sunday though, then it’s back to Blockbuster.

Picasa 2 is out. I don’t see a whole lot that’s different from 1.6 or whatever, but it’s still useful. Like the iPhoto of Windows computers.

Also, check out Whitespace if you’re l33t enough. Best. Syntax. Ever.

Blah missed school cause of fever. Showed up at 3 to pick up homework and say bye to Jake and Spencer tho.
Knights of the Old Republic II is a good game so far. I’m only an hour and a half into it tho.
LiveJournal’s servers were dead for a while today. Haha.
Anyway, sleep now.

Well, unless some kind of miracle occurs, tomorrow will be the last day at Uni for Jake, Spencer and Taotao. Even though what they did was wrong, school certainly won’t be the same without them. That reminds me, Jake’s blog is back online.
______

Tomorrow is the last day of the semester, as well as being a 3:00 dismissal. Chemistry final won’t exactly be fun though. Still, 3.5 day weekend, with parties at Domier’s.
Also, youth orchestra concert at 7:30 on Monday at Smith Hall. Program follows:

  • Antonin Dvorak - Slavonic Dances 6 and 7
  • Franz Schubert - Unfinished Symphony (No .8) (both movement, for you Uni orchestra kids)

    • People should come. We sound pretty good.
    ______

    I leave you with this:
    OMG!! WALLHACK!!1!

    Iceland to be without oil power by 2050. Sounds good. Mr. Bergandine was discussing that yesterday, and how hydrogen wasn’t a particularly effective fuel, since it’s usualy created through electrolysis, which uses up electricity, which tends to come from fossil fuel. Of course, in Iceland, there’s insanely easy access to geothermal power, so hydrogen can be made cleanly. Hmm… Lots of renewable energy sources? Iceland has no military? As they say, freedom is on the march.
    But seriously, pretty neat. Petroleum reserves are supposed to run out around that time… and it’s not as cold as the name implies.

    Also, good luck to Jake/Spencer/Taotao. I certainly don’t think the punishment is right, even considering what they did.
