The Band Bus

What happens on the band bus stays on the band bus.


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

THE THANKSGIVING MEAL HAS BEEN EATEN, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS??? IT'S NOW CHRISTMAS TIME!!!! WOOOOOT!!

Flight of the B-52

It seems like every time I venture to my grandparents house, I'm fed a new alcoholic delight. This particular one included one part Kalua, one part Bailey's Irish Cream, and one part Grand Marnier, and all bad-ass. Holy schnikeys, dudes, it's freakin' strong. But it was ever so tasty. It's sorta like like a White Russian with balls. I'm not an alcoholic or anything, I just love the taste of alcohol. Besides, I think kids who're introduced to alchohol when they're younger (in moderation of course) are less inclined to binge and be reckless with it, because it's not some special, forbidden thing. I dunno, those're just my thoughts. Now, for the next few hours, I'm gonna be attempting to digest the pounds and pounds of food I just ate. I hear the average person would have to run 20 miles in order to work off Thanksgiving dinner. Ah, isn't America just dandy? I love Turkey Day.

I Might Just Wet Myself

You remember at the end of last year, when I got my Xbox 360? Of course you do. That was the period in which I was virtually unreachable. "No, mom! I can't talk right now! Look, I have to steal this guy's diary so that I may be accepted into the Thieves Guild, and I'm competing against two other dudes! If I don't find it first, there'll be hell to pay! I'm in the Dark Brotherhood, so I can do that, you know!"

This year, my dad's upped the ante. If I get all A's before Winter Break, I get a gift of my choosing. At this point, my mind was reeling, so I decided to narrow it down by asking the price limit. I was expecting something around $200. Oh, hells no. He made the price limit be $800!! Yeah, I know! I nearly choked on my ice cube when I heard.

Before he came in, I was browsing for digital cameras, because I have had it with mine, the Canon S2 IS. The photos nowadays are blury, washed out, and just poor quality. I'm sick of it, so on my quest for a replacement, I came across the perfect one. A Nikon (oh yes, a Nikon) D70s. Damn, that camera is fine. And guess what the Amazon price is! $799.95!!

Oh yes, I kid you not.

Seriously, if I got this camera, I think I'd wet myself. It'll be nice to have two cameras, because my mom's an avid photographer, but I'm the greedy one that always has the camera. Of course, now I can't control when she takes a picture of me... Oh well, after all, it's a Nikon, for Christ's sake! For those who are less educated in the intricate ways of photography, Nikon's are really, really good. They're the Ferraris of the picture world. Whenever I read the description, I tear up ever so slightly. Not convinced? Here are some pics. If you want to read about it, and share in my exctasy (or atleast know what the hell I'm talking about), here's the Amazon.com link: linkage.

I Hate Elections

Seriously, fuck those things. You put your heart and soul into a candidate, into a measur, and what do you get in return? Failure. Total, absolute, crushing failure. But, for once, I can be happy ...and oh my god, is that that asian dude from Star Trek: TOS? Mr. Zulu, or whatever his name was (I'm a Next Generation fan). If not, it really looks like him. Seriously, he could be his twin or something. That's some freaky -- wait, I was saying something, wasn't I? Oh, right, happiness. Well, the Measure 43 vote isn't official, but it's leaning towards the "No" end, which means the majority of Oregonians aren't idiots!! I don't know about you, but that comes as a surprise to me.

Well, for once, I'm gonna make the most of this Election Day, and for a lifelong democrat, Duck, and Colts fan, that's saying something. "Oh well, there's always next--wait, what, we won? Uh...well, um, woohoo? W00h00!"

Tango's Word(s) of the Week

Sesquipedalian -- Tango's Definition: Having satisfaction in destroying vending machines. My Definition: the scientific name of Bigfoot.

Circumlocution -- Tango's Definition: the process of people going around poking people with pins. My Definition: to avoid electrocution.

I thought they were funny. They're courtesy of TAPS Para-Radio. I have no idea what the actual definitions are, but these'll suffice.

I love this radio show. It's great if you like the paranormal. If you want to hear their newest episode, you can go here. I love it, but maybe it's just me.

Another Change

I got bored of the leaves header, so I'm not going with something more....me. Yeah, it's a bit rough, but you try taking panorama pictures when you can barely see what's on the LCD screen. I'm at my grandma's house right now, so I've finally gotten around to putting it all together. There's another picture I want to have as my header, so I'm thinking about doing a Header of the Week type of deal. Until I get bored, of course.

What the Fetch?

*this was written during 4th Period (Algebra 2)*

Woah, talk about odd occurances. I just had a conversation about the paranormal with Welker! Welker!!

I was bored in English (in which I have only a 99.55% something) so I started to sketch the TAPS logo. I was packing up to leave and Welker commented (it was really hard not to say "Welker was, like, ..." just then) "Dude, that's an awesome show." (or something to that extent)

I thought it was only Bre and I who watched it, but I guess not. Sweet! So, yeah, Welker's really into the paranormal, apparently. He's even been to the Shanghai Tunnels downtown! Hmph, lucky bastard...

It's cool when you find those little things out about people. Out of everyone, though, Welker??

Oh, by the way, The Guardian is an awesome movie. It's about time the coast guard got some recognition. They were the heroes of Katrina afterall. Yeah, sure, it's Ashton Kutcher, but don't let an annoying actor (at least from my perspective) deter you. If you need another reason, then you should know that the music's awesome. Yup, that was my reason for seeing it. Plus, I've always liked the coast guard. Going to the beach a lot will do that to you. So, yeah, that's my schpiel.

Oh crap, we still have 15 minutes of class. What to do, what to do....South Park!

Note: That day, I introduced Kathryn to South Park. It was a very touching moment.
