Geocaching

I just started this thing called geocaching, where you get the coordinates to a little box, program them into your GPS, stumble around in the woods for a few hours trying to line up with the coordinates, and finally find the box and write your name in a little notebook.

It sounds pointless, but it's actually pretty fun.

Hammock

Last night me and my bro made hammocks outside and slept in them. After I spent half an hour* (I'm serious) getting a blanket under me, a pillow behind me, and a comforter over me, my toes were numb, there was a huge rip down the side of the sheet, and I had to go to the bathroom. So I went out to the woods, came back, and repeated the process. Then it was pretty relaxing for about two seconds until I realized my back was touching the ground.

Finally, a while later, I sort of fell asleep.


*Keep in mind this isn't a big flat hammock. It's just a sheet tied between two trees, so it sort of cocoons you.

Fifty Posts!

I just realized I've passed the fifty-post mark! Yay me!

Does anyone like the new look...?

NYC

I'm going to New York City in July! We're staying in a really cool hotel; the Hudson, I think it's called. It's cool and modern: e.g. has yellow glass doors. My dad won't let me use the minibar though ;).

We're going to MoMA, and eighth row center seats at Spamalot on Broadway, and the Statue of Liberty (which I haven't done since I was three. The whole time I was going up the stairs, I was planning my epitaph while attempting to not look down, and when I reached the top, I was too scared to look out.)

Anyhow, this means I'll hopefully have a post from NYC added to my cool posts list.

Toothpicks

About a week ago my class at school made bridges out of toothpicks. We had to buy all the stuff, like glue and toothpicks, from our teacher. Then we had a party and tested them all out with a bucket and quarts of water. I would post a video of mine snapping in half, but I think my brother taped over it.

I have to go eat my breakfast gruel-I mean, my wonderful scrambled eggs.

...

Urgh. I'm not feeling groovy. At all. I just fixed my Gramma's Netflix account and I have a huge headache.

Have I already used ... as a post title?

Valumtimes

So much for that resolution.

Wishing you all (meaning the five people who have ever glanced at my blog) a happy Valentine's Day with lots of little Ghirardelli chocolate squares.

Check out the new iPod nano color. Far out!

Happy New Year

My second year of blogging is about to begin!

Sorry I haven't been blogging much the past, like, month. I sort of forgot I had a blog.

But yes, I'm alive.

So of course my New Year's resolution is blog more.

Y'all have a good time.

Michigan

I'm in Michigan at my Grampa's funeral. I don't have much to say though, so this might be my shortest post ever.

Snow Day

Yes, it's Christmastime: we just had our first snow over here. So far we've got a foot, but it's been snowing for about fifteen hours, and its going to stop in about ten. So merry Christmas (or Hannukah or what-have-you), and don't forget to throw snowballs at people.
