“Captain, are you sure you want to send a landing party already? We haven’t even scouted out the size of this island, and barely the area.” McKidd struggled to keep up with Jenkins, who hastily ran about the ship, checking on preparations for the landing party.“Of course.” He grabbed an Enfield off the shelf, looking […]
It’s come to my attention how dependent I have become on internet, and in the ways I didn’t think.I must say, I didn’t miss IM much. I don’t do it much now, and if something is really that important, they can call me. Regardless, I’ll still be on most of the time (my new policy, […]
Okay, I lie about the 2nd part. I don’t have a life, but if I did, I’d be working on it.So pretty much immediately after I got back from Austin, I began summer band, which was kind of bad since my procrastination has created backup in the other stuff I need to do, but I […]
I kinda hate doing these “here’s what happened in my life” entries, but it’s kinda necessary.So Thursday morning, I pop into the Band Hall so I can pick my locker and instrument, make sure Chris has things in order, etc. All goes well. My mom comes to pick me up, and her, my cousin Cheryl, […]

We present, the HMS Devastation!” The crowd erupted in applause at the words of the announcer, looking at the marvel sitting in dock.“A capital ship unlike any before, this ironclad possesses […]

Meanwhile, other stuff in my life.So Taylor’s getting new computers next year (they replace every 5 yrs or something, so Mrs. George told me). We looked at them; IBM, blah blah blah… but wait! It has a… DVD DRIVE!!!!! Looks like productivity is […]
If only it were that easy.I, once again, have set myself into a positive feedback loop after taking an ill-advised nap a day or two ago. Darn me and my tiredness at times other than between 10 and 12 at night. Might as well make the best of it and keep you fine folk up […]
It’s funny how psychology concepts pop up in life; particularly, I’ve been recently struck by my personal experiences with the above.If you don’t know, obedience is basically when you follow the directions of an authoritative figure (surprise, right), and apparently has been much studied in psychology (for a particularly interesting example, ask Fairley about the […]
