Argh! I have no speakers! My incredibly stupid sister seems to have left the house for the night in possession of a Rio mp3 player, a small amplifier, a computer speaker cable, and an audio cable jack converter. Through this, I assume she plans to play mp3s from her Rio at an actually audible decible level. Unfortunately, in this plan, I get the BIG FUCKING SHAFT because now I can't use my speakers.

Furthermore, it's time for revenge.

Well, what an interesting day it's been. Actually, today in school was totally uneventful, and boring, so I'll just ignore the subject, however after school was slightly more interesting. Well, actually it's not. Basically, I got home, did a little work on a science fair project I've been working on, and then spent considerable time just talking with people online. It's pretty weird, I've been having some wonderful and insight providing conversations with somebody I met somewhat at random. The Blogger most-recently-updated index brought somebody to this page, and through it, they got in touch with me. The internet never ceases to amaze me. I talked to some other people, about some other random topics, talked to Nathan S. about our big plans for tomorrow, wondered what I was going to do with my weekend, and got pretty sleepy.

Every day this week, with the exception of today, I woke up before my alarm. My alarm goes of at 6:02 AM every morning (that's 2 minutes after music turns on, which usually fails to wake me up). It's not like I'm going to bed considerably earlier, I'm just waking up earlier, and as a result, I've felt like I'm in some sort of stupor every day in school.... I tried to go to sleep earlier today, but I failed, ended up watching Farscape which I recorded on the TiVo, and then ended up back at the computer writing this.

Speaking of Farscape, that pisses me off. I hate it when a show does a season finale that is a to be continued. Not only that, it was a fucking four part season finale! I've been watching the damn show all month only to be forced to wait until March or something to see what happens next! Not only that, they did some incredibly drastic stuff to the plot! Killing off cast members, having the main badguy sort of win! But, I do like the show a lot, and in spite of whatever has happened, the season finale was pretty good, and I will probably end up continuing to watch it. (In case you were wondering, it's on the Sci-Fi channel Fridays at 9:00)

Well, I guess I'm going to try again to go to sleep, since if the big plan goes through, I'll be pretty busy for a good 8-12 hours tomorrow, I better get some rest. Good thing the whole thing goes down less than a mile from my house, so in case something goes wrong, we all just go home.

I really want to update the look of this page. And I would too, except there are two things between my ambition to change the look, and it actually happening.

1. Incredibly quantities of homework. Having now decided on a science project, it's going to take a lot of work, so less time for stuff like this.
2. Inability to make things look good. This has two parts... (A) I can't do graphics worth a crap. (B) I have no taste. My choice in colors/etc. is very bad, and I often end up with hideious monstrosities that hurt the eyes.
3. (I thought of another one...) The infinite distraction that is known as the Internet. I can't get anything done when I'm at a computer. First, I check my email, then I check the blogs I'm on, then I check if there's anybody on AIM, then I do something else... etc. It's no good at all.

Simply put, without some major help, it's not going to happen.

AHH! I've only got about 250mb free on my hard drive! I won't be able to meet my goal of 1gb of downloaded mp3s by the end of the week!

I suppose it's only a good thing that my unquenchable thirst for downloaded (read: pirated) music is being forced to a stop. I've been going crazy w/ Audiogalaxy recently just because it's so FREAKIN' EASY to queue up songs and go to sleep.

I was thinking earlier today, that I've never really spent any considerable amount of time pondering/analyzing my own personality, and I'm curious about it. I think I'm going to go find some internet tools to help me determine what I'm like.

Whoa that's freaky. Thanks to Oren, I've discovered this intriguing quote:

"This should be good for our business. Getting sued by DEC is a sign of arrival in the DEC market."

John Stadler, President Clearpoint Inc., a maker of DEC-compatible memories, on hearing that DEC was starting legal action for copyright infringement.

Taken from here.

I find this kind of funny. My dad, John, said this... like... 20 years ago, and somehow it found it's way onto this guy's webpage. That's just really amusing.

I am woried. BlogVoices is dead. I liked having a comment system, in spite of the fact that few people actually did use it. In doing some research, I've discovered some alternative options for comments, and Greymatter is looking very appealing, but that would mean changing from Blogger, and Blogger is so easy, and nice, and good. Well. We'll see. Back to work I go.

Whoa! That's FREAKY.

Here I am, very bored. I wish I had something to do during long block study hall. blaaaahhhh....

Goodnight. (This is a very large screenshot, nothing more.)

I hate the bus.

Today, for varying reasons, I was rushing down our driveway to get to the bus in time... and for those who don't know, my house is on top of a hill. During the winter, my driveway becomes somewhat of a... deathtrap so to speak. It's very icy, and slippery, and because of it's positioning, it never gets any sun to melt the ice off. So anyhow, I was rushing down to meet the bus, and I slipped, thus falling, and hitting my ass very hard on the ground. It was also very snowy as a result. So I got back up, with a now sore ass, and headed on down. Eventually, after standing around in the freezing cold, the bus shows up, and we get on, however due to the fact that I had earlier fell into snow, my ass was now very wet.

Not only did I have to sit for 20+ minutes on the bus, but I had to do it with a wet ass.

I blame this entirely on the bus. There's something else I wanted to say, but by having an AIM conversation (msg me! provided I'm on...) at the same time, my mind has wandered, and I forgot what I was going to say.

If you were me, and had 30$ to spend at Amazon.Com, what would you spend it on? Reply w/ the "discuss" link below.

Mr. Murphy, my english teacher, was acting a bit strange today in class... he kept on laughing. First, he was reading the morning announcements, and he just started cracking up during the sports schedule. He couldn't finish his sentences he was laughing so much. In response, I whispered to my friend, "I think he's got problems." He replied, "I think he's doped up again." (If you know Mr. Murphy, you'd appreciate how incredibly funny this is. Or maybe it's just me...) He continued to laugh randomly throughout the class, and my friend and I continued to think of what's going on, and how it may stem from use of some psychotropic drug or something, then he says, "The point of the weed story is..." and because my friend and I weren't really paying attention, this came across as very funny, and we began laughing. Of course, Mr. Murphy didn't really seem to care/notice considering the whole class was laughing as a result of his random laughter.

On a totally unrelated note, during his lecture, he said, and I quote, "Hamlet was not some prostitute." I don't think anybody thought he was.

Good morning. Picture taken at 5:57 AM this morning. I woke up at about 5:40. Ack.

Yay. Some of my almost-stories are getting published in the Review after all.

Due to the fact that I am under incredible pressure to do a science fair project this year, I need some ideas. Leave yours by using the "discuss" link below.
