Time of post: 6:14 PM

Hey everyone. Today wasn't bad. And luckly for me, I finished most of my homework in school. All I have left to do is a couple of short lab write-ups (the ones I had to make up) but that won't take too long.

After school, I went over to Andrew's house. He showed me Devil May Cry 3 and then we played some Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros for NES. You can always rely on the classics for a good game ^_^

Also, I found a new flavor of Doritos today. They're called Black Pepper Jack and they're actually pretty good. I don't know why I mentioned this though. I guess it's just because it's the first time I've ever seen them.

Anyway, I'm out of things to say and dinner's ready so I'm going to go. Have a great night!

Hey everyone. Today wasn't bad, though I have quite a bit of homework ahead of me. It's mostly in Geometry. We had a quiz today and he put the homework up on the board. He said it was a lot but we'd have time to finish the first part in class. This would have been fine except that we had a fire drill. When we got back inside, there was only 4 minutes left in the period leaving me with problems 9-35 and 1-20 to do now.

That's the only school related thing for today though. After school, I went to Jesse's house where we hung out for a while. We played a game of darts. After that, we played some Dragon Ball Z: Sagas. From there, we had some cookies and then went to play another (shorter) game of darts. Later, we went outside to throw around a frisbee. This is a crazy frisbee though. It's an orange circle (no middle part to it) and it can be thrown really far. I think my record is something like 131 yards (measured on a foot ball field).

By the way, I'm assuming you noticed the new set-up for myOtaku comments. I like the new look but I really don't like the fact that HTML is disabled now. And, even though we can still use bold and italics, I don't like that we have to use strong and em. I'm a lot more used to b and i. Oh well, I'll get used to it at some point.

Anyway, I'm going to get going becuase I do have a lot of homework. Have a great night!

Hey everyone. Today wasn't bad. We got our new books in English which means I'll have to be reading two books at a time for a little while. Hopefully, everything will be normal by Monday though.

Not much else happened today that's worth mentioning today until after school. The Computer Club had it's first meeting today which really just consisted of the members sitting around and discussing what the club is all about. Turns out that there's no set guidelines for it and when we meet, we just talk about whatever we feel like at the time.

Anyway, I'm going to go get my homework out of the way now. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. Today has been pretty good. School was its usual not too exciting self but luckly, there's not too mcuh homework.

So, how were all of your Easters? I hope they were good. Mine was fine. I ended up playing DS for a while though because there was nothing to do otherwise. Either way, it wasn't bad.

Anyway, I really don't have too much to say right now so I'm going to go. Have a great day!

Time of post: 4:59 PM - Happy Easter!

Hey everyone! Happy Easter! It's been a good day so far. I woke up and had some chocolate for breakfast ^_^ Then, I just sort of hung around and played video games for the morning. I was playing the classic NES Zelda for a lot of the morning. I love that game and came so close to actually beating it on my NES but seeing as the battery inside is 19 years old, the save file was erased before I had a chance to finish it. At least I know that can't happen on Game Boy ^_^

We had dinner at about 2 (yeah, I know - early but it's how we do it) and then just did nothing for a little while. My mom's friends came over for dinner and when they leave, we'll be going to another friend of my mom's house for dsert as we do every year.

Well, that's about all for today. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. This will be a pretty short post because it's pretty late. Sorry that I'm so late today though. I haven't been home for most of the day.

I went over to Andrew's house today and we played video games for a while. We later got Chinese food for dinner and ended up back at my house for some more video games. After that, we went to hang out on Park Ave (the main street here) for a while because we had nothing better to do.

Anyway, that pretty much sums up the day. Have a great night and in case I'm late again tomorrow, happy Easter!

Time of post: 8:50 PM

Hey everyone. Today was fun. It was spent playing Super Smash Bros Melee and card games. We really didn't do much else but we had a good time.

Jesse slept here last night and my brother's friend Chris came over soon after we woke up so we had some good free for all and team battles in Melee. Then, we played a few card games including Gin and Palace.

I added links to Duck Hunt at the bottom of every post. They will be there for a little while. I just didn't want to have to re-post the links each time if someone wanted it.

Anyway, I'm going to get going now. Have a great night!

Hey everyone. This will be a short post because Jesse is waiting downstairs. We're about to play Super Smash Bros Melee.

Today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We did work but it wasn't too much. I updated Duck Hunt a little so I'm reposting the links.

Duck Hunt:
Browser (plays through browser - slower): Click Here
Mac (stand alone file): Click Here

If you have a Mac, I'd advise downloading the Mac version because it will run much more smoothly. Now remember, to run these, download the zip file and save it first. Unzip it (if you need help with this, PM me and include your operating system [I.E. Windows XP] and I'll help you) and open up the folder. For the Browser version, just click on the duck_hunt.html file. For the Mac version, just run the Duck Hunt file. Gun.mp3 is just for the sound of the gun shot. It needs to stay in the same folder to work. And if anyone needs any more help than this, feel free to PM me with your questions.

Anyway, I'm heading downstairs. Have a great night!

Hey everyone. Today was our last free day but it was pretty good. So prepare for another longer than ordinary post to continue with the free day tradition.

1: English - Mrs. Justice was still gone so we continued watching The Dead Poets' Society. We got almost to the end but the bell rang before we could finish it. I thought it was a good movie though. Tomorrow, we have our projects due and our test on The Lovely Bones. I really hope she doesn't get mad that I'm not ready because I still haven't finished the book. I didn't really get to start it too long ago because of all of the other work I had but hopefully, I'll be done by Monday.

2: Geometry - Same as yesterday. We had another free period which I spent on the computer not doing much at all.

3: US History - We just went over Section 3 of the text book today. We got off topic and ended up talking about something else for a while too though.

4: Lunch - I had a bagel. That's really all there ist to say for lunch.

5 & 6: Chemistry - No Drivers Ed today. Every Wednesday, my Chemistry class has a lab which takes two periods. We leave period 5 (usually Gym but this marking period, Drivers Ed) to go for a two period Chemistry class. It's usually pretty interesting and some of the experiments we do are fun ^^

7: Multimedia - I actually managed to finish Duck Hunt today. It's online for anyone who wants to see it. Or at least it will be in a couple of minutes. The link is here for anyone interested in playing. Just be aware that the sound may be a little delayed or laggy at first. After a little while, it should be fine though.

8: Latin - Latin was normal. We just continued translating our passage.

9: Prep - I just went downstairs to put some finishing touches on Duck Hunt during my Prep. I also saved it to a memory card so I could upload it when I got home.

And that's my day. I'm going to get going now so I can upload Duck Hunt. Oh, and by the way, it's now 5:44 PM. I'm not sure why it took this long to type. I must have gotten distracted somewhere along the lines. Anyway, have a great day/night! *leaves assorted Easter candies for those of you who read*

Edit: 6:22 PM
For some reason, I was getting errors when trying to run the game from online. So at this point, just click on that link and download the files to play locally. It's the only way it will work right now. Oh and I forgot to mention, there's a secret in the game. Tell me if you find it ^^

Oh, and one more thing. While most of you probably know whis, I figured it might be a good idea to explain. First, you need to make sure you click save, not open, when you click on the link. You're downloading a .zip file if you download the game. To get to the game itself, you need to right click on the zip file and choose extract here. Then, open the folder and click on game.html. That's how it works on more recent versions of Windows anyway. I'm not sure about older versions. *more candy is still there*

Hey everyone. Today has been pretty good. Breace yourselves for another longer than average post today though. Here's how the day went.

1: English - We continued watching The Dead Poets' Society today. It's really shaping out to be a pretty good movie though. I'm liking it so far anyway.

2: Geometry - Free period. We have GEB to do - 10 pages per night but it's not due until Monday. I started it last night anyway though. So, the class period is spent on the computer ^_^ I love having Geometry in a computer lab.

3: US History - We had a quiz today. It was on the same material as the oral quiz though. She's just taking the higher of the two grades and using it as our quiz grade. We had the rest of the class to work on our homework (which I still have to finish).

4: Lunch - Lunch was lunch. There's really not much to say here.

5: Drivers Ed - We watched a video about the importance of seat belts. It was sort of funny though because the video focused around two crash dummies that were alive.

6: Chemistry - Chemistry was great today. When we walked in, our teacher did something I would have never expected. He gave us... *drum roll* cupcakes! He made the cupcakes and his wife frosted them for us. It was for no apparent reason - I guess he was just feeling extra nice ^_^ It was great though - especially considering that the first rule of the Chem lab is no eating or drinking ^^

7: Multimedia - Just about finished Duck Hunt. It works perfectly at school and I'll have it online soon. There's just one problem I have to fix first.

8: Latin - The only class we actually did work in. Go figure... We went over the homework, took a quiz, and started translating our passage. It wasn't horrible though. We usually have a pretty good time in that class, even if we are almost always working. See, there's only 12 of us (there's only 8 in Multimedia but that's different) so it makes for some interesting classes.

9: Prep - I stayed in school and finished up Duck Hunt. I was there a for a little while after school just adding finishing touches. Just out of curiousity, how many of you are actually interested in seeing it?

Well, that's my day for you. I thought it was a good day. I hope you all had a good day too and have a great night! *leaves cupcakes for anyone who read through all of it*
