Hello Hello Hello
Recent happening: friday evening Neal came over to fix my computer. He fixed it. He left. It broke itself again. So I'm yet again on my sister's computer. Bahh...I hate technology. I looked for people to give me a ride to saddleback the next day for the drumline competition, but no success. So I begged and pleaded with my mom to let me drive up there (Jack Black's advice, if you really need something don't be afraid to get on your knees and beg). She said fine eventually. So I drove up there on Saturday, left at like 1, and listened to a Disney theme park music cd I made the way there. It cycled like 3 times. That was fun. RBV's show is looking really cool, but at the moment there's very little to see. But it sounds cool, and it's very clean and its all computery and themed to sim city, a geek's fantasy. I hung out with Laura and several other misc. RBV drumline people. Today was sunday, I washed my mom's van, and it was really hot this morning for some reason. Felt like summer. Then Laura came over for a few hours, we watched School of Rock. Then she left, and I was sad. Then... I searched my house to find something to eat. No success. I ended up at the computer somehow and started blogging. I just remembered I'm still hungry. I think I'll go back to looking for food.

ps: Here's a picture of construction of "Expedition Everest: Legend of the Yeti" at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Domokun has been brought in to supervise construction, while John Kerry is absolutely thrilled by it's progress.

Hello all. I've felt very lethargic lately. Same old things, don't seem to want to go away. I haven't actually written a whole lot here as of late. So here's a somewhat amusing anecdote.
Yestesday pohl and I were driving from rbv to my house to when we notice a large house being carted down the street in two piece by large trucks on Melrose. OMG LOL is what i'm thinking when I see this thing, the house is huge for something thats being hauled on a public street. It was bigger than my house. What was funnier was then it proceeded to turn onto sunset drive (on the east side of melrose). My thoughts change instantly to WTF. There was no way it would make it past the curves in that road. We laugh, I go home to get something, then on the way back to rbv we decide to go drive down sunset to see if it had made it through. Sure enough, it was stuck about 30 yards from where it pulled onto sunset, and people were directing traffic to make u turns and turn arond. Not something I get to see everyday, it was entertaining. We then proceed to freshman orientation night, where we had no baritone freshman to talk to. Sigh...well at least I won't be the one who has to recruit next year.
Now, everyone go download the soundtrack to the "Fantasmic" show from Disneyland and listen to it... all 26 minutes of it. Come on, I do it all the time, what's the problem? Ok shutup. I'm leaving.

PS: There's a new toon at Homestar Runner, go watch it, it's hilarious. First new full length toon in like... a year.

"Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.
Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave. " -david gilmour

Again... not much happening...
Friday night I went no where.
Saturday I ran errands for my injured mother.
Sunday I drove to San Clemente and backand has massive computer problems (which weren't resolved).
Only highlight was the time I spent on the phone friday and saturday evening. Other than that, the only purpose this post serves is to document this particular weekend in my life, just to say I lived it. Sigh...I'm bored. I'll go back to doing homework now I guess.

ps: I guess to say this wasn't completely worthless, I'll leave you with this link.

Hmm, time to revert back to livejournal status, for now if not for longer. Friday evening I stayed home, an oddity yes, but it happened nonetheless. Yesterday was saturday, and the el camino festival. Performance was horrible. Very dissapointed. I hate wind 2. Other crap going on yesterday, rather not get into it now. Very troublesome and day, until later on in the evening, i went to see wind 1 perform, i got to see laura, and hung out with the bussetts and derek afterwards.
today was absolutely marvelous. and thats all i have to say about that.
time for bed now, im very tired. tomorrow is senior ditch day and i'm not going to be ditching. most of my friends are juniors and below, and i can't afford to miss extra credit that some of my teachers may or may not be giving. no big deal for me, this ditch day thing. Goodnight world.

What people are saying about Lobsters From Space!:
"...a job well done!" - Derek Earley
"...its so friggin cool." -Pohl
"Sheer paranoid chaotic brilliance!" -Jonathan Hawley
"You freak..." -Neal Bussett
"HOLY SHIT!!! LOLOLOL" -Ben Templeton
So, if you've not yet experienced the continuing tales of Captain Hampton and his brave crew, I'd say it's about time you start doing so.

I finally changed the poll on the left scroll bar, so vote if you haven't already, and let me know what you think of Lobsters. You can also e-mail me or sign my guestbook (*please* sign my guestbook) to let me know what you think of the new cartoon. If you've not yet seen Lobsters From Space, go watch it you fool!
Seems strange, I seem to have a lot less to do in Flash now that the cartoon is finished. Kinda also seems like I have a lot less to talk about... hmmm lets see whats been going on as of late... not a whole lot really...
The annual Disney shareholder meeting is tomorrow, which is big news for stockholders and a small population of random disney obsessives such as myself. There could be some fireworks...from what hear, rumors are already circulating about Eisner on the way out, so I'll just have to wait and see what happens. They're actually having a live webcast, and I might be able to catch part of it in computer animation tomorrow if im lucky, it starts about half an hour before that class ends. Lets hope it will soon be time to take down/replace the SaveDisney.com banner on this page...
