No time since I'm leaving for Japan v. soon, but...
Just heard Opener parts. One word: r0x0r. That is all. Christine, get me good parts. And know that we all play castanets in the beginning as a visual and that's what the Ulrey said and it's cool so there.

Since Blogger is now working again, I give you back issues:
07-05:
So, I should be writing about how awesome Around the World in 80 Days was. Or maybe fixing my profile so it is not long and death like and is also having of the links. But actually, I am going to have fun with Google!
So, firstly, you always need to know what Google can do. Also, what their engineers can do. Especially because they're definately using their time well.
Also, you need to know their children programs. Mainly because whatever you can't find using Google you can find using something else they've written.
Or maybe you wish to Check their blog. Especially since they own Blogger.
What about all those special logos? Miss some? You can find all of Google's logos here if you wish.
If you don't speak English, they do have langage tools. I personally like Bork, bork, bork!, Elmer Fudd, Pig Latin, and 1337 (they call it "Hacker"). But maybe you want a real language like Xhosa, Japanese, or Klingon. You can also visit the domains of many different countries, including Djibouti.
Now, if all this talk about Google has inspired you, maybe you should get a job there. Not convinced? Here are some reasons why you should. Or maybe just buy their stuff.
And now Google should pay me money for advertising for them.
So, went to dinner with the Hinmanns. Maggianos. Then I had to do my Fit Fit Revolution for today. I still feel fat... :(
Christine - thing and the ya know = :)
Hmmm... I had something I wanted to say. Well, I went shopping. THAT was interesting. Other than that, I don't think I did much.
I wish there was someone to talk to...
EDIT: That's right! has THE BEST LJ ICON EVER. Katana, you especially need to see it. I mean it. Go. NOW!
07-03
I am, at the risk of being a loser for posting so often, am now going to let out the long held in rant about zip codes.
So, I live in Burke. I know this. You (now) know this. My zip code is 22015. With me so far?
Burke has a post office. Everybody who lives in Burke (to my knowledge) has the zip code 22015.
Enter Springfield. When I lived in (West) Springfield, my zip code was 22152. Does this look like 22015 to you? NO.
HOWEVER. Whenever I go somewhere it is like, "t3h OMG u r t3h living in Springfield." Note: That was Katana's "freshman voice." It means they're stupid.
So, I go to LJ. It says I live in Springfield (like so many other things including Build-A-Bear and Amazon.com). So, I go into my user profile and change it. I found that I had typed in Burke the first time, and idiotic LJ had changed it. So, I type it AGAIN. Look at user info: Springfield, Virginia, United States.
I have never had this kind of trouble in any other state. Stupid Virginia. Stupid LJ. Stupid town of Springfield, assimilating us all.
Looking on the bright side, I suppose now stalkers will not be able to find me as easily. Except now I've ranted about this, they will know it is a LIE. Oh, well.
Today's Adventure: Getting an Oil Change
So, like, I drive up and the lady tells me to go away, they'll call me eventually, and it'll be about an hour. Mommy told me they would come and get me and show me stuff, and then I could leave.
So, I sit there. Read the comics. Do the crosswrod puzzle except I am bad. No person calls me. Finally I am called. Man says, "Your lisence plates lights are out. Your transmission is leaking AGAIN. You're supposed to get it serviced every year, but it has been over two years and 10,000 miles. Also, I hate you, you cruel car hater." Well, maybe not the last part. But that's what it sounded like. so then the lady done AFTER me gets to pay first, and I am sad. They also keep calling me "Mr. Goehring," probably because my daddy usually does it, but he was too lazy. Finally I leave (and go over the curb) and stop at THE BELL OF THE TACO! Order my usual (Soft Taco Supreme, no tomatoes, Nachos, Sm. Drink), and then I eat. Also, my car door does not shut properly and the man totally moved the seat back, like, three feet. Okay, maybe that's an exageration... Also, they were like, "Let's open up ALL THE DOORS." I like my dad's car because I can move it up to a comfortable closeness, and since there is not of the airbags, I do not have to utilize stupid "push-pull" turning.
And that, children, is what we call "Stream of Conciousness Writing."
Today I got up at 6 o'clock on the dot due to the fact that I went to bed at a normal "school" time (alarm is set for 6 with the school). So now I think I should just stay up until 2 o'clock to avoid this problem.
While I was at the place, I considered going to GameStop to see if Andrew was there, but I don not know when he works, and I have a grand total of $6.52. Also 26 yen, but I don't think that'll buy me much.
Which reminds me. I want 1 yen pieces!! I think every single one I can find I will keep because they are SO AWESOME (Re: being made of Al, only the coolest metal ever to exsist due to its extremely low density). Also, which one is Atomic Number 70 (Re: Newspaper puzzle)? Ytterbium! How was I supposed to know that!? ...*hates Washington Post*
So now I get to steel myself for PARTY OF DOOM so much fun.
Also, my dad thinks I am good at typing and am also fast. Ha ha ha, no.
Finally, day two of "Fit Fit Revolution" proceeded pretty well, except I was not very good today. Also, sad that my brother could not find us a new mix. Well, new to us, old to anyone else. Instead he found baseball. I think it's time to call up the INTERNET.
And that is all. Good day.

Thing says:
You are an SRCL--Sober Rational Constructive Leader. This makes you an Ayn Rand ideal. Taggart? Roark? Galt? You are all of these. You were born to lead. You may not be particularly exciting, but you have a strange charisma--born of intellect and personal drive--that people begin to notice when they have been around you a while. You don't like to compromise, but you recognize when you have to.
You care absolutely nothing what other people think, and this somehow attracts people to you. Treat them well, use them wisely, and ascend to your rightful rank.
Okay. There's some truth in that. Actually, quite a bit of truth in that. Well... Anyway.
Andy-- Couldn't sleep until 3:30 last night. Hope you're happy :P
So. Star Trek.
I have three words for you: Trials and Tribblations!!!!11oneone
Those of you not familiar with this episode may wish to note that the basic plot is that DS9 crew is inserted into TOS episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" (notice the pun in the episode title). This was done extremely well and contains a LOT of funny dialougue, mainly because it was DS9's tribute to TOS and the episode was a comedy. Let's just say it was awesome. I particularly like "I can't wait to see your face when we get back to DS9 when you find out I never exsisted!" Also, the Klingon scene. But my dad was confused, like them, about old!Klingons. Oh well. Two thumbs way way up.
Also was the pah wraith one, the Risa one (Worf: Do not hug me.), and... the Odo-is-guilty one. They weren't particularly memorable, but the menu was! It usually makes computer sounds, but for the tribble one it made tribble sounds. I think this is the appropriate time to go "squee!"
Also, I did not do the last one, which included "Looking for Par'Mach in all the Wrong Places." I suppose you can infer Par'Mach is the Klingon word for love. Anyway, I just like the end.
Julian: [to Quark and Grilka] What happened to you?
Quark and Grilka: *smile*
Julian: Okay, I don't think I needed THAT image.
Jadzia and Worf: *walk in*
Julian: What happened to you?
Jadzia and Worf: Well, we, ah... *cough*
Julian: Okay, I don't think I needed THAT image either. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to stop asking people that. People come in, I treat them, and they leave.
teehee. Other episodes were on that disk, but they were not as good. And "The Ship" was sad 'cause Quique died. *sad*
Also, Mommy is upset because I have not begun to pack for Japan yet. Usually, don't you pack, like, a day or two before? I think she doesn't think we have all we need. *shrug* Also, nothing from my host family and nothing happening with Gold Project. *sigh* Oh well. I work best under pressure!
Now I suppose I will go get dressed...

Vacation, non-graphics intensive version. See lj for that.
So, we get on this plane and go to California. I'm sitting next to this old Korean woman with a bad accent and a 7th grader in "the high school class." Oh what a joy. Actually, not as bad as it could have been, but I would have liked to teach the ickle one a bit about the fine line between telling the truth and bragging. Because then the other person gets defensive and feels the need to defend his or her own intellect and may or may not hate your guts and/or think you smell like a geek. I was taught this in the sandbox, but apparently this girl was not and she's lucky I'm much better at dealing with people now than I was when I was her age. Which is what she thought I was. They absolutely refused to believe I was 17. Feh on them. other than that, Ashley from Virginia Beach was nice. Also had no clue about the world's tallest thermometer in Baker, CA. But we'll get to that later.
So, we arrive, and go to the hotel. Hotel.
Wow.
Then to Joe's Crab Shack, which yeilded crab (what else?) and this picture: Spelling. Wow indeed.
Also, on the way: A woman and the flag.
Palm trees.
Then to the baseball game, where my brother proceedes to claim the Anaheim Angels are the best team ever. They won, by the way. From that: This is the giant "A."
This is the inside of the stadium.
This is some d00d.
This is them celebrating a run.
Also, and artsy pic as tribute to Jeff, except I'm not very good: Sky with foul pole.
At the hotel there is a pool. This is my koala, Snuffles (long story) at the pool: Koala in Sandals
We went to the beach: Beach.
And to the mall. This was an outside mall. It reminded me of my middle school. Aside from getting cool new shoes and clothes, there was also a mechanical bull. My uncle rode it, then my brother. Notice my brother fails at bull riding.
My uncle, not my brother.
My brother, not my uncle.
So then we went to my uncle's wedding, which was interesting, and then to the reception. Talked to my third cousin. He's a froshman percussionist on a drumline of 19. Difference: 900 people apply to be on this drumline. Whoa. We could use that kind of interest. As long as they were all worse than me, that is. Did some stuff, and was esentially the life of the party along with my parents. This should tell you how happening the party was. Wendy (my Godfather-uncle's girlfriend) was amazed I knew all the disco/old stuff that was being played. I was dissapointed I did not know "Devil with the Blue Dress." Then, for the second time on the trip, my age was mistaken (on purpose) to be "and old lady in a young girl's body." Not my fault I like music. Or should I say, I LOVE MUSIC! Yeah, so, anyway, went to the hotel, slept, and then got up to go to Vegas. There was a crisis. I wish to say nothing more on the subject.
So, we finally made it out of L.A. and on to I-5, then I-10, and finally I-15. I stop at this point to be a bit nostalgic. When we crossed into San Bernadino County, several things crossed my mind, one of them being, "This is home." I have never returned to a home, but I have run into to some old friends. Nevertheless, it was a very odd experience driving by "Ft. Irwin -> 31." We stopped at Peggy Sue's, but it's different than I remember it. I think I finally decided that that place is no longer my home. It's kind of sad, in a way, to give up something like that and put it aside for a new chapter of life. But, I've done it before and I can do it again.
So. Finally. Vegas. Sin City. Got to see some wedding chapels. Took some notes. Actually, I was already familiar with the legalities of getting married in Vegas, though...
Big dissappointment: NO PIRATES. What are they, kidding me? You cannot have the Treasure Island without pirates!!! Also, we were on the smoking floor. But, it was okay. Nicer than the Holiday Inn.
Grandpa insisted we go to Circus Circus for huge steaks (and they were huge) and then we went to the arcade(!). I drew my FIRST DDR CROWD EVER!! w00t. m4d s|<1||z.
Least favorite part of Vegas: TROLLEY FROM HELL. You flew into the air over speed bumps and had to wait 45 minutes when they said it would only take 15. But it got me home from the best part of Vegas: THE STAR TREK EXPERIENCE!!11oneoneone
This one is of the Enterprise, but it didn't turn out too well.
THIS one of the Enterprise-D was good though. You know, they put "Enterprise" on the timeline. They fail at life. Also, Enterpise changed its name to Star Trek: Enterprise. They are sneaky and I hate them. It's a shame, too, because it's a good show, just not in the context of the Star Trek universe.
Klingons!! One of them told me I had been impaled (I was wearing haristicks) and asked if it was a backstabbing Romulan. I held my toungue. I also did not murder the Ferengi. Are you proud? I am proud.
Voyager. Admiral Janeway made an appearance in the Borg thing. It was cool they gave you two rides instead of one. Borg thing was scary, though. Hate the borg. Also, my poor dad (not much of a Trekkie, but indulgent) had to sit through it all with me, and THEN bought me a shirt. I love my daddy. See if you can spot said shirt in my wardrobe. Also, Katana's useless gift. Usually I keep them a secret, but she won't be back before I go to Nihon, so if the curiosity's killing you...
It's a bumper sticker that has the Klingon thing and says "My child has more honor than your child." I think she'll get a kick out of it.
And then we packed and went home. The end.
Star Trek later.
