November 30:

Wow. Today sucked. First off, I was fucking tired in 2nd, so I wasn't able to really do anything for the project. I'm trying not to slack off too much on it because then Elaine is not gonna want to work with me anymore :-/. Yeah, got in trouble in math today...you probably can guess the reason if you have at least one class with me. Then I had a test in 5th and a quiz in 6th. I don't think I did well on either of them, though. I was kinda expecting one of the topics on the Spanish final exam essay to be about televisions, except that it was about comparing and contrasting the city and the country. Bah. Didn't use a lot of vocab, and most of my sentences didn't make sense. And then on the bus...yeah I still ride it...these two fucking Puerto Ricans (who couldn't speak English if they got more brain cells, started speaking their fucking language, and they were laughing at me too). This just in, Sang is sensitive. Don't fuck with him. Oh yeah, to top all that off, I have a project due tomorrow about The Scarlet Letter, and I haven't even started. I also have to study for the math free response, which I can only hope that Kelly is not strict on the grading process, but I get the feeling she is because she's an AP teacher...we'll see.

On a brighter side, I've decided to incorporate RSS into this page. If you want to get the best out of it, use Firefox. I've finally updated a program (Hex)!! It can tell you the inverse of a color. I know it's not much, but if you have to inverse 10+ colors like me, it'll come in handy. It's not on the program page yet, because I'm too lazy to add it there (it'll be there Friday).

I've decided to make this page my official blog again because I can't seem to get Blogger to work on Firefox or IE. It may be because of ZoneAlarms's ad-blocking feature. Oh well, at least I don't get ads and popups like you! Speaking of ads and popups, have you noticed that recent AIM ad...you know, the one about Travel-something...with the "Top 20". Well, with this ad, all you have to do is roll you mouse over it, and a popup window appears. It's very annoying, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about, or you've never gotten it, consider yourself a very lucky person. The good news is that if you know what I'm talking about, you'll be glad to know that I've successfully killed it with a program I found on the net yesterday. It's called AIM Ad Hack, and it's much better at removing ads than DeadAIM or aiMutation. You will need version 5.9.3690 (Help -> About) of AIM before you download AIM Ad Hack. Once downloaded, just follow the directions and you'll have an ad-free AIM in no time!
Your buddy list should look something like this when you're done:

There are no updates this time.

Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving!! I'm excited because I get to stay home for 5 days, but after the break is gonna suck. I have 3 tests and 1 quiz next week, so I guess I'm gonna study during the break. NOTE TO SELF: Buy The Red Badge of Courage.
Updates:

More funny pictures.
Next school break countdown changed to December 15.

I'm currently trying to get highscore screenshots for each of the games on my site. Expect them to be up within a month. Yeah, I'm slow.

November 12:

Well, the week is finally over, and I found out from the grades that I need to make it better. I have 3 A's and 3 B's, which is relativelly better than what I've always had this time of year in 9th and 10th grade. I think my problem is that I procrastinate, and that I can't concentrate when I'm doing hw. As a result, if anyone (noticed I said "if", not "when") IMs me, chances are that I won't answer for an hour.

Girls are another one of my many problems this year. Yes, believe it or not, I like girls, and yes, I do like someone...only 3 people know who I like (the first one blackmailed it out of me, and I'm starting to have regrets of telling him; I directly told the second person because she's a girl, and that's basically why; the third person knows because the first person told him), and I don't plan on telling anyone else, maybe except the girl herself when I feel like the time is right. I know I'm not that much of a loser, and girls do talk to me from time to time. It seems like girls have ESP or something and that they can sense when I have feelings for them, and they act accordingly. Weird. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

Updates:

Added several new funny images. Remember that the newer images are usually in the last couple of pages.
Added some new jokes. Like new images, new jokes are usually found at the later pages.
Added some new games to the games section: Bubbles, Tightrope, Parallel Parking, and Bubble Fun.
Parking garage solution has been added.
Added my person highscores to several of the games on my site (click to play the game, and you'll see). These games include, Tightrope, Bubbles.
Divided the updates section into several...sections.
Added a couple of interesting AIM convos, too.

November 5:

Ladies and gentlemen, your president for the next 4 years!!
Well, the election is over, and all I have to say is "four more years." ... Four more fucking years. How is the US stupid enough to reelect Bush?? I mean, this man killed more people within the first three years of his term than Saddam Hussein did all his life. Sure, Kerry is a flip-flopper, but who can blame him? The guy is a senator, so his job is to serve the people. What do you do when your serve the people? You give them what they want. Times change, and people change, and when that happens only a good senator will go with the will of the people rather than by making absolutely stupid mistakes like the president did.

ANYWAYS, this week has been tough because at Kerry lost the election at the beginning of the week. Then to top it off, I had a physics free response test yesterday. Luckily, it was relatively easy, and it was a makeup, so if you did worse than the other test, he won't take the grade. Hopefully, I got a high B on that, which I really need.

Then came today. I had three tests today, which, when compared to everybody, was nothing. First up was history. I think I dominated that test because every single answer was in my notes, with the exception of 3, but that's about 6 points of on the entire test. Plus, "the game" really helped because I killed it, so it's gonna add 5 points to my test grade. On one of the answer that I didn't know, I completely made up some random, but funny shit, so hopefully, she'll grade my test more leniently. The vocab quiz or test in LA was easy, even though I took a while to finish. The math CUM test was easy because all you really needed to do was plug in the answer choices into the equation or use your calculator to your advantage.

Now for the updates. Every single page has been modified because I had to take down the poll. Bush won. I also added several more jokes, if you need something to cheer you up. I also added 8 more pictures.

November 1:

I've been informed that my old host was secretly sticking huge flash banners into my pages. In retaliation, I've decided to move all my files from http://home.thirdage.com to http://1asphost.com. This host also sticks ads into web pages, but the ads are much smaller, and are more discrete.

Looking for things to do until this site's next update? Here are several links that I find interesting:

You can always head over to the Games section and try to beat my high scores.
http://del.icio.us is basically a bookmarking site. You register, then use a bookmarklet to add sites. I don't feel like explaining this site's amazing capabilities, so go to http://plasticbugs.com/index.php?p=41 to read the post.
I'm thinking of dividing the Updates section into months. This should become reality in a week or so.
