Shin- Slothism. The one true faith.

Ken- Unfaithful to your religion, eh? Burn him anyway.

Mimmi- Heh heh, thanks. I'd really appreciate it.

Kuraiangel- Huh, indeed.

Karmi- Haven't you had it for, like, two weeks? I remember you saying that the stick figures were cool.

Mal- ^_^

Boo, school. Due to our two days off, we're being majorly rushed in math, and our lessons are teaching nothing. This sucks because we have a chapter test on Friday.

When it comes to math homework, I am really, really unmotivated. I can do it easily enough, and if it's on a test I'll go through with it, but if there's twenty versions of the same problem and they all take ungodly amounts of time to figure out, I'm gonna guess and move on. Considering how she rarely ever checks the homework, it's barely a risk.

But enough about me. Let's hear more about you.

Heh. Right.

Maybe I'm just getting better at comprehending things, or maybe the books I'm reading have really easy AR tests, but I have had a shockingly good record with Accelerated Reader recently. I have a while to make up the rest of my goal, so I'm going to risk it and read a larger book.

I borrowed 2001: A Space Odyssey from the library, randomly. I'm hoping it's good, because if it's not, there's not a good chance of me remembering the characters' shoe sizes and favorite Pat Boone songs.

We had a substitute in art today, and she reminded me a lot of my elementary school days. Back at my old school, where I spent five years of my life, every person that worked there was constantly wary and suspicious of you, regardless of your previous record. It was really aggrivating how you were constantly treated as if you were the dredges of society on death row or something like that (to a lesser extent)..

And these are all the "good" kids. The children at that school, especially compared to my current place of learning, are happy and bright-eyed and would never hurt a fly. But none of the faculty cares at our school, which is fun sometimes.

Anyway, this teacher had one of those annoying, droning voices that are more common in history teachers than art, and she was, as I just said, very wary of all of us at the back table. We must have been the problem children who got separated from the good apples for the good of society or something.

We were supposed to draw hands. So I pulled out my rendition of this Half-Life 2 rebellion poster (which, when you compare, is really inaccurate), and went on with my interpretation of this incredibly oversized piece of character art from Stella Deus, and it's coming out nicely. I just know that if I try to color it it is going to become ruined.. So it shall remain in pencil. And maybe I'll ink it.

And the funny thing is, you'll probably never see either of the drawings I'm talking about, because I'm incredibly self-critical and refuse to scan imperfection!

I went over to a friend's house after school, and we played Paper Mario 2. I must say, the game is a lot more enjoyable than the original, but it's Mario, so there's no reason to compare. It's good, and that's what matters.

After that, we went up onto his roof and waved at random people who were driving by. Except for people who might have guns, naturally. Then we read Newsweek and Forbes. Then we dug a hole for no reason and filled it with dirt.

I was supposed to be somewhere else, but.. That didn't work out.

Lost made up for last week's disappointing episode tonight. More character development + more nonsense + logical reasoning behind the nonsense + lots of Alias commercials (Jennifer Garner, woot) = good episode. My only complaint is that there wasn't any real cliffhanger.

Of course, the good twist was in the middle this time, where nature contradicts itself, raising lots of questions that weren't considered before.

Again, I implore that you watch this show. If you don't, you're doing yourself a disservice. If that's a legitimate word.

Gah.. It's Wednesday, but it's supposed to be Monday, yet I want it to be Friday. Today was the first day that, since quite some time ago, I just felt like sinking into the earth and never emerging.

But I don't want to leave you on a morbid not like that. So here's a little Filler Bunny to leave you hip-hip-happeeee.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the Evangelion iPod. According to what I've read, they only made 2,000 of them, and, of course, they're exclusive to Japan. I'm glad that it's not a very flamboyant design- it follows Apple's oath of minimalism that they made to the iPod franchise.

I can just see Gainax making another revised edition of the series just so they can change Shinji's tape player to an iPod to promote it (even though he already has the earbuds). Too late for that, though.
