So with a basically free weekend, I got to watch quite a bit of Olympic coverage. It’s pretty sad how much drama there is even with a pretigious event such as this, but I guess, like a lot of things, when ppl care enough, things get ugly. NBC coverage is kind of irritating at times […]

The Calm After the Storm
Calm, you say? Well, I’m not planning on watching the Superbowl this year: don’t care much for the teams, and I can just watch the commercials on the internet. Besides, it’ll feel good to avoid it.Yesterday was pretty awesome for waking up at 530 to go to a Science competition. Even though I hadn’t planned […]
Imagine that a mouth is the US right around the end of the 19th century. In the past, there had always been the threat of greed and corruption, represented by gingivitis, plaque, etc, but it was never a severe problem. Well, industrialization comes along in the form of candy. Now, candy is good, right? Tastes […]

Hallway Awkwardness
You know exactly what I’m talking about: when you see someone you know in the hallway and you don’t know what to do.The first time you see someone in a day, it’s always cool to say “Hi”, or mention their name, depending on how close they are. But then you’re also struck with the fact […]

A Day in the Life
And I survive another week.Went to a CS contest today, where, unforunately, Willie and I did not have the company of DNev. Regardless, we still did quite well with Aditya, getting 5th place. Fairley and Tom, with only them 2, did very well as well, getting 7th. The contest wasn’t very hard, but some of […]

I am Shocked and Appalled
People say funny things. And by funny, I mean terribly rude.To protect the identities of those involved, I shall use pseudo-names. So at lunch, my friend “Billy” was eating his lunch as usual. Not as usual, his crush was sitting next to him. Casual conversation, blah blah blah, and then she (his crush), who hadn’t […]
Back to school. Fun. I know all about it.It’s better and worse than it was before. I don’t know if it’s a good thing, but I’ve been unable to maintain my Hope for studying and such. I excuse it by saying that I haven’t had as much work, but it’s just that: an excuse. I’ve […]
I could “scrooge” the time-honored tradition of New Year’s Resolutions, but I know other can more effectively ridicule the process (mr. castles), and I don’t think it’s a bad idea on the whole, if perhaps inaccurately named.Encarta Dictionary Tools says that a resolution is “determination: firmness of mind or purpose”. Now, we all know that […]

Life on Break
So what would the average male teenager do given several days of basically nothing? Video games, of course. It’s kind of sad how much time I’ve invested in them. I can’t say that CS:S leaves me with the most satisfying feeling. Neither do I feel ‘ne smarter for doing it. And I’ve spent way too […]
