I've been kinda neglecting the site this summer. I haven't been very into writing stuff, nor have I been in any kind of mood for animating this summer. Yeah, that means I haven't made a whole of of progress on the jiggly project since the fair. Here's just a message to note that I still have every intention to do stuff for the site still. Just don't feel like it right now.

I started classes at mira costa this week. Seem to be going smoothly so far. I have two awesome classes, an okay one, and one thats insanely boring. But, that's school. Don't ever really have much of a choice there.

Eh... I'm not sure why I started writing tonight. I'm really not up for it. I'm going to go read goblet of fire for a while, then probably go to bed. Just thought I'd let whoever decides to read know this that I'm still alive. Goodnight.

I loved a girl named Sandyface, she lived outside of town
In a tent made of diapers, in the sand she laid face down
She had a pillow of cactus, and her bed was desert land
I suppose they called her Sandyface because her face was covered in sand

And I remember her sandy face
And I remember her sandy smile

That Sandy was the apple of many bloodshot eyes
And one day she fell victim to a sheep in wolf's disguise
They said a man with banana bread and a beehive on his chin
Sold my love to the Grateful Dead, stole her land and then cashed in

There's a one-eyed dog with horns like a yak, wax lips and a broken back
His feet in front face the opposite of his hind legs in the back
He tried to save that sandy girl from the city man disease
But was stung to death by all the pets of the man with the beard of bees

Oh, Sandyface
I do recall
Oh, Sandyface
I could not do it all!

Dr. Rock was on a jog, saw my dear in the parking lot
Selling grilled cheese sandwiches in hippy slavery
Dr. Rock tried to free my love, but he had no gun
So he dialed me collect on 10-10-321
I got the call from Dr. Rock, raced down to the scene
But Sandy had been swept away into the Rainbow Sea

Swim, swim away
Oh, Sandy
Swim so far away from him
Swim far away from this place
Just keep that sand on that face!

But it was too late....

I went back to that stinky place where I first met my Sandy, but
Whitey and his beard of bees had built a Pizza Hut
So I bought a slice in memory, poured sand on the cheese
And as I ate off that sandy plate, I missed my one-eyed dog...

And now it's over
The tide has washed her face
And now it's...

Oh Sandyface...
I do recall
Oh Sandyface
I could not, do it at all...

Not too much to report for as of late. Seen plenty of my laura since last update, and that's good. My cousin, Sebastian, visted last week, so I spent some time with him, seeing as he's going to be sent to Iraq soon. On monday I ventured with him and my sisters to Universal Studios, and did all the new craip they have put in since I went for the Rose Parade. I don't feel like writing full reviews now so here's my opinions of them in a nutshell: Van Helsing:Fortress Dracula- a walkthrough haunted attraction that's mildly scary and will only be appreciated by people who liked the movie; The Revenge of the Mummy- An indoor rollercoaster that could've rivaled Space Mountain had it been at least a minute longer (far too short); Shrek 4D - Suprisingly very, very entertaining, with both the full length films' amount of obscene humor and stabs at disney crammed into 15 minutes (a must see); Spiderman Rocks! - A strange version of Spiderman presented in a rock opera type fashion, with very little actual rock music. You almost feel embarrassed being in the theater, especially during parts like when the green goblin sings "She Bangs" to Mary Jane while flying on his glider. Skip this show.
The day went by pretty well, with less tension between Seb and I as there usually is. Jamba Juice happened there also. Tuesday night I went to the DCI show at qualcomm stadium. I drove Lona, John, and Tye up there, and then split from them at the show to meet up with Laura. The night could/should have been a lot better, but it was still entertaining to watch the shows (first time I had seen any of this season's shows), and I'm glad I got to see Laura. I drove back with the same people I drove up with, and ate at ihop before going home. Wednesday, thursday, and today were mainly uneventful. I bought stuff for school, including my books, and yesterday I saw collateral. Tom Cruise makes an amazing villain type character. Go see the movie, even if only just to see Tom Cruise as a hitman.
I got about a week left before I start classes. I start earlier than most of my friends who are going away because I have a month off school in the winter, so I'm probably going to try to see them more in the coming weeks. And uhh. I'm out of stuff say. Here's a quote from the Shrek 4d show.

(Well... second happiest)

Be sure to visit Duloc's Fairy Tale Adventure! 74 gift shops, and one ride."

Bye.

Last week went pretty smoothly I'd say. I've spent a lot of time swimming and such,and my cousin, Chris, is visting. Monday I hung out with him. On tuesday, I discovered my taillights on my car were out, which jepordized my dlr trip the next day, but I went anyway, seeing as the hotel we stayed at was near walking distance to the parks. Anyway, tuesday and wednesday was my mini vacation with Chris to the Disneyland Resort. Tuesday we did Disneyland, covered most of the rides we wanted to see by 4-5ish, then left to get hotelroom keys and cheap drinks. We returned at about 6, we had fastpasses for splash mountain but it was busted, so we got an early seat for fantasmic and waited the 3 hours. Great show as always. Afterwards we did splash mountain, matterhorn, and then left.

The next day was DCA. California Screamin' was busted all day, which made us both pretty angry, but not much could be done about that. Around midday, we went into millionaire. As luck would have it, I was the fastest on the fastest finger question (my pro random button pushing skillz), and made the hotseat. That was pretty freaking awesome. I only made it to around 8,000 or 16,000, but as soon as I got in the hotseat I realized that it was all really cool and I didn't care how much I won. I ended up winning 7 collectible pins, and a baseball cap. As a strange sidenote, today I read that millionaire will be closing permanently on august 20th. This news came as a shock, both because it was an unexpected anouncement, and that I got in the hotseat just in time before its closure. It must have been fate. But I digress. The rest of the day was fine. I did my 13th ride on Tower of Terror, which for the sake of the ride's themeing seemed like a pretty big deal to me (but of course to no one else). Oh well I had my fun. The performance of Aladdin was very poor, and that was another downside to the day. The flying carpet over the audience never happened, a many of the flying wire effects didn't work either. The show also had the guy playing aladdin who has the voice that sounds like he has a cold, which personally bugged me. The genie was the mediocre genie, and he's big entrance was late. I'm not sure why they didn't just close the show down for the say with so many missing special effects, but it probably had something to do with Calfornia Screamin's closure and the park's lack of attractions. Anyway, we burned out pretty early, at around 4, and went home. A very fun two days.

Saturday, I went with Chris, Pohl, and Ted to see the Aquabats at Soma. I felt a bit out of place at first (maybe it was the fact that I was one of the few there not smoking pot? possibly), but as the concert progressed we all got very into it, except for chris, but he's not really that type of guy anyway. An awesome concert. I'm not going to try to explain- you had to be there.
Yesterday was Sunday, and Laura returned from Europe after 5 weeks. She called me in the evening, and that made me very happy. I should be able to see her on wednesday, if it works out with her. Greatly looking forward to that.

Today I hung out with Lona and John. We saw anchorman (my 4th time, but I really wanted to get out, so I didn't mind), and then ate at chili's. They're too cool for me, I swear.

That should just about do it for now. More of my summer properly documented for future reference. You stay classy San Diego.
