Banners, Amongst Other Things

Our theme for Homecoming is "A Night On Broadway," and as such, we chose a musical that would represent our grade. Since Student Council decided to hog all the popular musicals, we ended up choosing "West Side Story." Though our banner had a rough (and slow) start, with the help of the rest of the class officers and a couple point-seeking friends, we managed to make it in the end: after much hard work (as well as plenty of fooling around), our freshmen class banner is finally finished. Actually, I'm quite surprised that the end result turned out so... decent.

Being a class officer (I'm Treasurer) is tough work. Just for the record I'll put down a little common rumor: As Treasurer, you are not entirely in charge of the money or counting the revenues and whatnot. Heck, I don't even know how much money we have in our class funds (but I do know that we are no longer in debt!). The 5 class officers all just share the duties, and the only officer who really has a specific job would probably be the Historian, who takes all the pictures (but truthfully we haven't taken very many yet). It's an implied duty to be present at EVERY single event, but although the responsibility is huge, it's actually quite good to know that I'm accomplishing something for my class. Even as I type this, I realize that we have a Powderpuff meeting this Sunday (yes, that's a weekend day) to choreograph and finalize the act. Finalizing... at their first rehearsal. In case you didn't know, Powderpuff day is basically when the roles of the men and women are reversed-- the girls play football, and the guys do cheers. Yes, imagine a bunch of guys in cheerleading uniforms chanting encouragement to the female football players. It'll be great, except for one teensy problem...

We have a total of 3 participating guys, and a bunch of overzealous girl choreographers.

Way to support your class, guys.

Anyway, I also just realized that it is 15 minutes to midnight and I have piano lessons first thing tomorrow morning. Whoops... But on the bright side, I only have to keep this blogging thing up for one more day...!

Oh noes D:

Yes, to your disappointment, something funky happened with the comments button, preventing anyone from leaving a comment. It's quite depressing to the average blog lurker, I'm sure. So what am I going to to about it?

...


Absolutely nothing! Suck it up, big baby. You can read my blog without leaving your random opinion. Who needs it anyway?!

...

Just kidding. I would die without feedback from my fellow viewers (yes, all 4 or so of you)! Therefore I am currently working on getting this fixed, and in the mean time, you'll just have to live with it. If worse comes to worse then I'll just have to change my layout (AGAIN) and start from scratch.

Day 3 of blogging-week madness. Yes, this entry counts. Sorry folks, I lied in the previous entry... Unless you somehow found this entry "moderately amusing." I absolutely promise (and when I say "promise" I tend to keep it) that I'll write a legit entry tomorrow.

Until then, I'm over and out for today.

Bubbles and a semi-update.

Well, first of all... It's been a long time since the last update way back in March, and I have some very good reasons for this:



...Wait, no. Actually I don't.
I was just being lazy.

Anyway, that's off the point, because now I'm posting, see, see? And what better to get back on track with than a refreshing ("Refreshing like a spring breeze?" Naah.) article about popping bubbles! They may seem like such an ordinary thing to the naked eye, but with a high-speed camera... your entire point of view is changed.

Here's a preview of it:


Beautiful, isn't it. You can find the entire article about the guy who took these amazing photographs right here.

Sorry if you were disappointed by the completely random update. Even though it's summertime (and no comments about high school musical please), the amount of work I still have to accomplish before school comes 'round again is enormous, so I just don't have the time to write lengthy rant-like updates. I guess bubbles will have to do for now. Maybe another time I'll decide to do a real update of what's happened in the past 3 and a half months or so...

'Later folks!

Blog Layouts

Yeah, I've realized that the layout of my blog is rather plain and traditional, so I might need some people to direct me to some decent layouts. It's not that I don't enjoy the simplicity of my current one; just that I'd rather stray away from the layouts that many others that use similar, if not the same, layout as mine. I really don't have the time to code my own, so I'll just have to find something on the web. Any suggestions would be nice though...?

Hey look- It's a new blog!

Yes, I should be working on my projects and homework right now... But just for the heck of procrastination, I created a blog. Expect some random posting here and there, and maybe I'll upload my old comics when I feel like it.

Yes, it's "TOMATO." Life is like a tomato...? Yeah right. There are better similes out there.
