Procrastinate now.

I think I may have a semi-finalised schedule, now that my late PSEO paperwork is done:

First hour: Physics
Second hour: AP Statistics (Pelkey)
Third hour: AP Spanish (Qualley)
(A lunch)
1:00-1:50PM Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays: World History Pre-1500 (PSEO)
Sixth hour: AP English Language (Devine)

Speaking of which, today was my first day of CLC studentship. It wasn't that different from a normal high school course: introductions, "why are we doing this?" &c; but I have a feeling it will get to be more APish as time progresses. They already have us writing a paragraph on one person--from before 1500--with whom we would like to dine--and what we would ask them. So, I need to find an interesting, sociable historical figure who wasn't known for poisoning. Any suggestion?

In other news, I saw my dad a couple of days ago. Suffice to say we haven't seen him for over a year--maybe two, we were with Mark at the time--by our own choice. So, it was a happy, albeit awkward event. He was looking as hippie-ish as ever, sporting a pair of braids--he said that everyone tells him he looks like Willie Nelson--a long, three pointed beard, and a headband. He said that he now can't work--due to his rheumatoid arthritis--and he's making too little to live in the US--but maybe in Mexico... Of course, I don't think that he could live off of the US government's disability pay in a foreign country.

Sukorambure Powa!

Well, I got my blog transferred to another site. This one's called "Gaia Online." It's really neat: it's sort of an online community where you can get a house and car and play mini-games like "fishing" while talking with your neighbours. You also get to make your own little chibi avatar for it. I really like how mine turned out. You but clothes for it with a sort of currency called "gold"--which I suppose makes it not currency, but actual money--which you earn for nearly everything. I think I'll improve my house next. Now I just need to set up and transfer my past entries to that Live Journal page I got.
Ivan's been having bladder control issues as of late. He's been pissing on the floor after only an hour inside--sometimes even less. I hope he doesn't have a bladder infection.
In other news, I'm almost done downloading トランスフォーマー Zンーン(Transformers: Zone) (I'm not sure how "Znnn" spells "Zone," or why they used a Latin "Z.". That was the last G1 (original storyline) cartoon, cancelled after the first episode. In it, from what I'm told, they take nine of the coolest Destrons (Decepticons) from the previous series and kill all but one of them in a matter of minutes. But, Dai Atlas looks cool. The sad thing is that I can't find a subtitled version: It's either a shitty fan dub or the original Japanese. This is the Japanese one (hopefully it will make sense without understanding the dialogue).

And so on...

We had a monster of a hailstorm today. What was shocking was not so much its intensity, but its speed. The clouds overtook us in about twenty minutes, the rain came in a visible sheet, and progressed from rain to pea-sized hail to half-dollar-sized hail in a couple of minutes. After a few more minutes, it was gone. Now it looks like a green Autumn outside, with a coating of hail mixed in. I'd noticed that the clouds were moving very quickly, but I never expected such a storm.
In other news, in that Pepsi "Transform your Summer" promotion, I won two sets of DVDs. There are only two problems: first, they're the same set; and second, I didn't enter for them. I entered for the Pepsi Optimus Prime, which had fewer people vying for it. Their good DVDs--School of Rock, Orange County, The Italian Job, Sahara, and Tomb Raider--but I really wanted that Pepsi Convoy. So, I'm selling the other set. It's unopened, and I'll even throw in the congratulation notice so that you can act like you won it. Big Bad Toy Store is offering Pepsi Prime for about $60 (including shipping), so it would be nice if I got at least that for these (and $10.20 for an good, unopened DVD isn't that bad, is it?).

Everything is finite in the end.

We have power! Somehow I've neglected to blog it, but we've had it for just over a week. Although it did go out for a few hours last night, but that seemed to affect the whole neighbourhood. Oh, the things I'd missed...
In other news, we gave Coco away. That means that we're down to the three dogs we're going to keep: Ivan, Bear, and Pepper Anne. And they have been moved from the kennel--which has been disassembled--to the house (for reasons which I will discuss later). We're keeping them in the kitchen so that they don't eat anything in the rest of the house (or do anything else, as they aren't fully house broken) and at night we take them into our rooms. This is kind of annoying because, even though he goes right to sleep (he loves the soft bed), Ivan gets up much sooner than I do, and seems to think that the best way to get me up is to scratch my face. Oh, well, at least he's not a cat.
So, on to why their inside. You see, one day they broke loose from their kennel and went into the neighbour's yard, supposedly wrecking her flower bed. I haven't seen the damage, so perhaps they went to some hidden, out of the way part, bypassing the obvious front. But, at any rate, she was pissed and our dogs were moved inside.

Wednesday, July 18, 2007: Overhaul

Well, I'm sick of my sites' themes. Time to revamp it all. It's too dark and obsessed with Atheism. And my profile just plain sounds immature. So, I'll be redoing it all, one site at a time. And the reason I haven't been blogging is that I haven't been getting more than, say, and hour of computer time a week (we moved out of mum's boyfriend's house, but the power's still out. His kids are scum).

And in case you enjoyed my old stuff, here it is:

Profile: "Excluding what is written elsewhere, I am rather critical and analytical. My dislikes are Christianity (though not Christians in general), intolerance, war, pop music, cover tracks, Jack T. Chick, Disney, deathbed conversion stories, fundamentalism, evangelists, bad remakes/movies from novels, unoriginality, anti-first amendment folks, anti-second amendment folks, pretty much anti-rights folks, Texas, idiots, profiles that mention "God/Jesus" under interests, american bastards, religious groups who masquerade as secular ones, people who don't know what "atheist" means but think they do, when people try to bless me after I sneeze, sexism, when people think that Catholics aren't Christian for some reason, hypocrisy, and more to come..."

Tagline: "Warning: this site contains some content deemed inappropriate for Christians"
