I apologize for the fairly crappy photos: The Bat family was done a LONG time ago, before all my other little dudes, which is why my Batman looks a bit crooked. He was the first one I did. I like the way Robin turned out, though. Maybe it's because he's so much more colorful than the others. Also, I realize that Spidey is entirely out of place here, but I don't have any other Marvel characters to group him with. Hmm...I need to explore the Marvel universe more...Poor Spidey will be so lonely otherwise.

Who's done with finals? ME! Whose Rube Goldberg project worked after only two tries? MINE! I am so excited to be on break right now. 3 days of absolutely no worries will be bliss. (Also, it's been pouring rain for 3 days straight. I love the rain!)

My sister and I recently started watching Chuck. We're not done with the first season yet, but it's pretty awesome so far. Hopefully it will continue this way. =D

Congrats! =)

To be fair, it was the textbook who made the joke.

Reviewing for history final by reading the textbook, and I come across this sentence: "They [the French] littered the land with scores of place names, including Baton Rouge (red stick), Terre Haute (high land), Des Moines (some monks), and Grand Teton (big breast)." =D

I'm not sick anymore! Yay! (I was sick yesterday.) Also, I have 3.5 finals next week, and I only have to study for 2 of them. And I only REALLY have to study a lot for one (AP US History). Math will be easier.

AHHH! This is why I hate timezones and living in California. It hasn't even started here yet! I need to see NPH singing, dammit! (On a completely random note, timezones were invented in the United States when railroads started popping up in the late 19th century. We learned that a few days ago. Spread the knowledge!)

Commentary! The Musical is now available on iTunes. Awesome.

I love my AP US History textbook. "By 1913…the chimes had struck sex oclock in America." "Ravenous, the gods of war demanded men -- lots of men." "A militant abolitionist, Brown became perhaps the most sung-about man up to that time, except Jesus." "Massachusetts Bay, where many people were as much interested in cod as God." "In pursuing its nativist goals, the APA urged voting against Roman Catholic candidates for office and sponsored the publication of lustful fantasies about runaway nuns."

89 seconds on Minesweeper expert mode. I am on fire. Or just crazily obsessed with Minesweeper. Maybe I should do homework. Hmm...

I never liked M&Ms as much as I liked Skittles. Sour Skittles especially. On a completely other random note, just got a personal best time of 95 seconds in Minesweeper. Expert mode. I am pleased.

Chuck is looking pretty good right now. I've only seen a few episodes but I'm definitely going to watch more. =D

Merry Christmas, everyone! =)

I am so exhausted. It's supposed to be winter break and I should be sleeping and having fun all day, but yesterday I spent literally (no, seriously, I am not misusing the word) 9 hours building this stupid Rube Goldberg machine with my friend for our physics class, and then today we spent another good 4 hours on it. If you don't know what a Rube Goldberg machine is, it's basically one of those really complicated machines that uses ramps and pulleys and all kinds of crazy convoluted stuff to do something really simple like turn on a light or something. Or like the ones from those car commercials... I think it's done now, thank God. Meanwhile my back is hurting and my legs are all cramped and I am really, REALLY tired.

I need one of those.

I did really well on my PSAT! Scores came in the mail today. Now my mom can't complain about me watching TV too much. Haha. =D Now I just have to take the actual SAT...and at least 2 more subject tests...fun fun.

Success! Today I've started Drivers Ed, received a completely legal version of Photoshop, AND got my brother home for the holidays. A very good day so far.

Oh, is that what that meant? That would make sense. Thanks. =)

One thing I always wondered about the Watchtower itself...Bruce didn't build it by himself, did he? Did Supes help him? The rest of the league? I kind of always had this image of him building it all by himself (because Batman is richer than God and can beat Jesus, and therefore is entirely capable of doing that =P) but...yeah...doesn't seem entirely plausible.

I vote virtual shrine.

Psych seasons 1-3, Dr Horrible, AND Mask of the Phantasm arrived in the mail today! I love Amazon's Black Friday deals. =D Good times.

I may or may not have broken my brother's N64 last night. I really, REALLY hope I didn't.

From the episode of How I met Your Mother, "Slapsgiving" I was just about to say that. I love that episode. =D Happy Thanksgiving!

Woah. Just saw a guy who looked exactly like Nathan Fillion. On a completely separate note, Thanksgiving is in less than a week! (And Slapsgiving 2 is on Monday.)
