MAY 6
Last Saturday my dad made us clean the shed out. My dog was clawing at the floorboards and was practically snorting the dirt that lay upon it. I lifted one of the floorboards an found a super cool rat carcass! It looks as if it's mummified, so I might use it for in the future in case I have to give a presentation on mummification anytime soon, but for now it shall remain under the shed. |

APRIL 21
Okay, I realise it's been a while since the last time a posted anything at all. I will be posting a few things since I have a lot of time on my hands. The first will be concerning food. In my History Through Film class we usually just sit around watching a movie, eating snack food, and telling this kid to shut up. This time, however, I brought a HERO SAMMY! I felt a little weird eating a sandwich with ham in a Jewish school, but I forgot all about that after I tasted it. It was so good, I shared it with my two good friends. I tell you, a giant sandwich can make Gone With the Wind not feel four hours long. Oh, and the Seltzer Water bottle is filled with frozen juice concentrate that has been reconstituted with seltzer water, rather than normal water. It's better than soda, and it's free of refined sugar. |

FEBRUARY 5, 2008!
My parents recently went on a cruise to Mexico. They left us at home (generally not a good idea) and told us to do our school and keep the house clean. We were going to have a Star Wars original trilogy marathon, but our Xbox DVD player wouldn't accept the disc. Everyone else decided that they didn't want to cram into my dads tiny office and abandoned the idea of a marathon. It ended up being me laying on my dads futon watching Star Wars all alone. I feel like such a loser. On to important stuff now. My parents brought back gifts, which I wasn't expecting because my dad's "thrifty"! I got a really cool twisted Coke bottle. It was emptied, heated, and twisted; then they put the Coke back in and put the wrong bottle cap on top. I swear, that bottle cap thing will bug me for the rest of my life (when I'm out walking I avoid a certain house because they screwed up one of their fence posts)! Good News: My brother's Boot Camp graduation is later this month! I don't get to go (like I said, my dad's "thrifty"), but my parents are going, and they're leaving us alone again! w00t? |

My hat that I wear all the time is getting old and tattered, so I decided to make a duct tape one to replace it. I was going to make the bill black, but I ran out of the black duct tape, so now I have a silver bill. It's all duct tape except for the cardboard in the bill and the cloth sweatband on the inside rim. Other than that, it's all duct tape! I've seen other duct tape hats online, but they're all crappy. One is a regular hat covered with duct tape, and the other is squarish. Mine is better.
First I had to find the perfect shape for the panels of the hat. It took a couple of days of math and experimental paper hats before I got it to where it would work. I still don't have it perfect, but I'm going to go over it with my dad, the physicist, after I buy some more black duct tape. Click on the image for a cool stop-motion video of the hat. |

OCTOBER 31, HALLOWEEN!
First of all, my Halloween party was a moderate success. We had a butt-load of food and a couple games to do. The first thing we did was throw eggs at a piece of plywood that was cut and painted to look like a house (we couldn't really egg a house because most of the people that were there are Mormons), then we smashed the plywood with a piece of our broken trampoline. We went back inside to play a game, ate more food, and went around our block giving candy away. It was pretty funny.
We would go up to the door, knock, and if they answered it we would ask them if they wanted candy. It's amazing how hard it is to give candy away to adults. A few of the people asked us which house we stole the candy from, one lady told us we were being rude and shooed us away (she's a jerk), and one guy lectured us on diabetes while he was taking Hot Tamales from our bowl. At the last house we just dumped the rest of the bowl into the lady's bowl and said good night as we ran off. I think I'll bring a video camera next year. |

It's also our fat black cat's birthday today. He turned two. We had a crazy night keeping him inside so people wouldn't sacrifice him or something. We were lucky that less than ten people came trick-or-treating to our house. If more had come he probably would have gotten out a dozen times instead of two. |

Since I have a Halloween party tomorrow I figured I'd carve a pumpkin. My little brother and my friend carved a bunch of stupid scars while I was making fake blood, those jerks. One of them looks like a number sign (#). What do you think of my staples-as-stitches idea? |

OCTOBER 17
Recently we stopped giving milk to our cats because it's been making them throw up. Since it's been my dad that does all the milk-giving I decided I would put a 'NO MILK' sign by the area we used to give them milk to remind my dad that he shouldn't give them milk. Well, this morning one of our cats (Rex) was staring at the floor by the sign. So I took a picture of him. He looks like he's reading the sign. I later got a picture of our other cat by the sign. She was glaring at me with the hate of 1000 corpses. |

OCTOBER 15
Sorry I haven't written lately, I was sick with a cold and I didn't feel like doing anything. Not even video games (okay, that's a lie.) Anyways, I got on here mostly to show you some pictures I took last night. The first picture is of our van, which my sister totally smashed. It happened in a parking garage (women's #2 nemesis, right after food.) My sister told me that when it happened she was like, I quote: Oh F---! No, not 'fart', it was the mother of all F-words. That just goes to show what my sister is; a beer swilling, cigarette sucking, foul mouthed, crazy psycho who drives over the speed limit. I am sorely disappointed in her. But the van is kind of cool now because we took out the middle seats so all we have are the front two and the back sofa. It's the closest I'll ever get to a limo. I also have a picture of my little brother. He was making a lame joke about what my dad probably looked like when he was a kid. I seized the moment and took a picture of my brother in the act. Now I know you must think I'm an evil brother for putting his picture up here for all to see, but nobody actually comes here, and he keeps calling me fat. So the picture stays! |

OCTOBER 5
Last Saturday I got a awesome mini-fridge from a rummage sale for ten bucks! I probably should have told you last week, but I'm a procrastinator (what can I say? I'm an evil heathen.) Anyways, I got a couple of pics of it. (Notice the In-N-Out Burger sticker.) |

I didn't really have anything to put in my fridge so I went to Safeway with my sister and she got me the sorbet she owed me (I bet you forgot about that ,huh?) But that day we also got an entertainment center thing from the rummage sale and we got to move our N64 out of my room and downstairs where we placed it by our trusty XBOX (which we only have one controller and one game for.) Unfortunately, my little brother was the one who undid the cords of the N64 up in my room and he accidentally unplugged my fridge, thus ruining my sorbet. |

And in other news: The San Jose Giants are playing a championship game tonight at 7:00pm. It's a best of five championship, and both teams have won two games, so tonight is the deciding game. I'm excited! |

SEPTEMBER 15
We hiked back today, since it was mostly up hill on the way to camp, it was mostly down hill on the way back. We completed the hike and nobody died, so we are successful. On the way home we stopped at an In-N-Out Burger. I had a 'animal style' Double-Double with no pickles or tomato's (I hate them), french fries, and a chocolate and strawberry milk shake. I almost couldn't eat my meal. I'm lactose intolerant, so I have to have these little pills every time I eat something with lactose, such as a double cheeseburger, or a milk shake. The problem is, I couldn't find my little pills. I need my lactaise enzyme's! I looked around the car for, probably, ten minutes. I finally found them with the help of my dad, thanks dad! So I got to eat my meal, and I lived happily ever after. Please go to In-N-Out.com, that's where I got the picture. Be sure to check out the not-so-secret menu. |
