Time of post: 3:53 AM

Hey everyone. I know this post is late but I didn't really feel like posting earlier because I was working on fixing a friend's laptop. I guess that will be the first part of today's post.

My friend's laptop was in pretty bad shape. It wouldn't even turn on anymore. So, rather than try to undo whatever was done, I started from scratch, formatted (which erases everything - with my friend's permission of course), and reinstalled Windows. It took a while but I'm happy to say that it is now in working order.

Anyway, today there was a street fair (which was more like a huge garage sale with some other little things thrown in) in town. I went to meet a few friends there. We then ended up hanging out for the remainder of the day which was fun.

We ended up doing a bunch of things including playing with some midis (to show Anthony how a program I have can get the notation of a song from a midi) and getting some coffee/milkshakes later on. We had a good time though.

And that's pretty much all for today. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hey everyone. Today was pretty boring. I woke up and did pretty much nothing for a couple of hours.

Later on, Jesse called and I went over to his house for a while. We played pool (though didn't finish the set because we were both doing really bad) and then ran out of ideas. We did play a very little bit of Halo but other than that, we just sort of sat there trying to think of what to do.

And that's really all there was to today. So, I guess this will be an extra short post. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. Today was pretty good. When I woke up, my mom, brother, grandmother, and I went to Applebee's for lunch. I'm not entirely sure why we went either. It was just sort of a random "Let's go to Applebee's" thing I guess.

Anyway, after that, I was sort of bored and Jesse wasn't home from practice so I rode my bike to GameStop. I just hung out there for a while and got a booklet full of information on the Xbox 360. It has some interesting things in it.

After that, I came home and called Jesse. I went over to his house and we started things off with some pool. In the process, we finally learned why I was having so much trouble with chip shots (jumping the cue ball over another ball so as not to scratch). It was because the stick I was using had a tip that was too worn which made it extremely difficult to chip with. I switched to a new stick and I could actually do it now, though still not perfectly.

Later, we ended up playing Guild Wars for a long time. We went on a long run from one place to another (Temple of Ages to Druid's Overlook if anyone knows what I'm talking about) to hunt for items. We ended up making it after a while and we found some good stuff along the way ^_^

And that was pretty much it. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hey everyone. Today has been a good day. As it was Thursday, it started out with some General Tso's. We (Jesse and I) got it to go today though because I had a haircut at 3 and he had to be at his brother's game at 3:30.

After the haircut and game was over, I went over to Jesse's house. We played some Team Training on Halo first. It was fun as usual ^_^

Following that was Guild Wars (no surprise there). We didn't play for too long though because his mom came in and told us that the pool table was finally cleared off (it was covered with stuff before). So, we went to play pool.

We didn't do our usual set of seven though because it was really hot down there and we were getting hungry (lunch was at around 1:30 or so, it was now approaching 7:30).

So, we headed to Wendy's on our bikes. It was clear across town but it wasn't a bad ride. The way there is almost completely down hill. Unfortunately, it did not make for a fun ride back...

When we got back, we went to my house to watch a movie. We ended up watching The Bourne Identity in preparation for our renting The Bourne Supremacy tomorrow. It was actually sort of random how that came up though. I just sort of said "I want to watch The Bourne Supremacy" but I don't have it so we'll see it tomorrow.

And that's pretty much it for tonight. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. Today was fairly uneventful. I spent around four and a half hours back at my mom's friend's office setting up the computers. A bunch of things went wrong which is why it took so long. It wasn't all bad though because I did make $50 out of it ^_^

After that, I went to Jesse's house. We played Halo for a little bit and then played Guild Wars until the pizza came. After we ate, it was about time for me to leave anyway (it was a late dinner) so I packed up my stuff and then went home.

And that's really about it. Like I said, uneventful but not bad. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hey everyone. Sorry this is so late. Today was pretty good though.

Andrew T. came home from his trip to Washington D.C. so I went over to his house to hang out. First, he let me make a character in World of Warcraft to try it out. I really wanted to do this so I could compare it to Guild Wars. While they are very similar, I like Guild Wars better overall. Plus, the Guild Wars world looks more realistic than the World of Warcraft one. Both games have their strong points though.

After that, we went downstairs and played a little Mario Golf for Gamecube. This was only like the second time I've ever played it so it was fun ^^ From there, I went back home for dinner.

Later on, I went to Jesse's house and we played Guild Wars for a while. We finally finished an old quest that we've had forever.

We also played Halo 2 with his brother which was pretty fun. We did a couple of random, custom games followed by some Xbox Live play on Team Training.

And that's it. I feel like I'm forgetting something I wanted to say but oh well. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hey everyone. Today was actually a lot of fun. I had to wake up at around 11 but it was worth it because I went to the beach today.

I hadn't been to the beach since last summer in North Carolina so it was pretty fun. My mom, brother, and I went for the day. First, we just went to the ocean itself and hung out there for a while. The water was really rough but it was fun.

After a few hours, we went to play mini golf. The course was pretty nice, spanning a couple of floors. I ended up winning in the end ^_^ Of course, the two (lucky) hole-in-ones that I got helped a lot.

Following mini golf, we went to get some dinner. My brother and I got cheese-steaks while my mom got some sea-food thing. The cheese-steak was really good. Everything there is really over-priced though...

Anyway, that's pretty much my whole day. It was a good one though. So, thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hey everyone. Today wasn't bad. It was sort of uneventful after around 4 but not bad.

I woke up and went to my mom's friend's office to help her with some computer problems. After about an hour and a half, I was finally able to get things working again, though I'll be going back some time this week. I hate it when companies make software that is really confusing to install, just so you have to call tech support and pay them for the call... Heh, luckily, we didn't have to call them because we found a piece of paper telling me to go get a specific file.

After that, I just came home and did pretty much nothing for the rest of the day. I did play a little Guild Wars though. I finally got the bonus in Divinity Coast (not that most of you will know what I'm talking about but oh well). So that was good.

Anyway, that's really about all for tonight. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hey everyone. Sorry this is a bit late but I've been lazy since midnight ^_^ Anyway, today was actually pretty good.

I went to Jesse's house for a little while where we were going to play pool but the table was covered with stuff so we couldn't. We ended up just leaving and going to my house.

At my house, we played Halo for a while which was fun because I haven't really played it recently. Then, we played Guild Wars for a while. We did manage to finish a couple of quests.

Finally, we went to go see Red Eye. We actually really liked it. It wasn't a horror movie at all but was really just a suspense movie. It was fun to watch though.

Oh, and go congratulate Molly on her engagement. And Molly, if you're reading this, congratulations!

Finally, Evil is trying to deny that she called Kool-Aid a cereal. Go and correct her ~_^

And that's about it. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. I'm sorry I haven't posted for pretty much the entire week. Andrew S. has been back for the week and I haven't really had too much time with him here. We've been having a good time though.

Of course on Thursday, we went to get General Tso's ^_^ It was great as usual. We also introduced Sara to the wonders of Tso's chicken and she seemed to like it as well.

Yesterday, we ended up going to the mall. We spent a few hours there (going from store to store with Sara) but it was fun. It gave us something to do at least.

Anyway, that's really about all for now. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
