Snow!!

Wow, I seem to be only updating my blog once a week now. Strange. Well regardless of whether or not I'm actually intending on updating my blog only once a week or not, there's snow on the ground now. And it's about time. School started again today after thanksgiving break, and my gosh, I needed that break. Though I didn't really do anything except go to the grandma's to eat food, and work a whole lot. I worked for 10 whole hours on Saturday. That's just unhealthy.

Anyway, what to write.. ummm, Christmas is in less than a month, I gots my flu shot today (fun, I know), I just ate a crapload of pizza, and.. wow, I just got a text. Okay, *that* was random. I'll see you guys around. (well, depends on who "you guys" are... these "guys" may actually not exist, for all I know.)

Me = Tired

Last night I went down to Salt Lake to wait in line with Matt at a Smith's Marketplace. It was so he could get a Nintendo Wii at midnight. I didn't buy one though.. I just came because I've always wanted to wait in line for something big like a game console launch. I must say, it's an interesting experience. But hey, at least it was worth it to be among the first human beings to play the Wii without the constraints of a kiosk.

We played Wii Sports and Twilight Princess. (the latter of which Matt obtained on Friday somehow.. when he tried to register it Nintendo emailed him wondering how the heck he got a copy of the game in the first place :P) Anyway, Wii Sports is a blast. I can't believe how easy it is to just pick up and play. Twilight Princess, on the other hand, I found quite difficult (mostly because I'm used to using a controller while playing Zelda games) and I still haven't quite got the hang of the Wii's unique controller, but I'm sure I will someday.

So, I've been bored all weekend, just working, and hanging out at home finding something to do. The rest of my family all went up to Park City for the weekend but I couldn't 'cause of work. But hey, it's all good. I'm really tired right now. I stayed up 'till around 4:30 or 5 and woke up around 7:30 watching a U2 DVD that I bought last night, the one where they perform at Slane Castle in Ireland. (Yes, it was an impulse purchase... gosh, I'm a fanatic) so yeah. Did I mention that I'm extremely tired right now?

I think I'm just rambling on right now, about stuff. Stuff that the general public doesn't really have the interest to know. Does anyone actually go to this blog? I know Dan does, and I know of a couple other people that I know that have commented here about stuff. But yeah. I'M REALLY TIRED. I need some sleep. Or perhaps some caffeine.

My Date with the Nintendo Wii

Well, I only have a fairly limited amount of time to type this up because my psychopathic little brother might come storming in at any minute and demand the computer back. But anyway, yesterday I went over to my friend Dannysauce's house to hang out all day. We were bored, so we decided to go for a walk over to the DI, look around at the stuff there, then get dinner at Arctic Circle and walk back home.

Our plans went something like that at first (with a few detours to the 3-D video and Zeponie's pizza..) but then after we walked home from Arctic Circle, we decided for some reason to go down to Target. So we went down to Target. And then after that we ran over to Gamestop. And after entering inside Gamestop, I didn't know it at the time, but my life would never be the same. (Okay, that's an over exaggeration, but it sure felt like it at the time)

Gamestop had a kiosk displaying the Nintendo Wii. Yes, Nintendo's next video game console that is going to revolutionize gaming forever. I obtained a Wii-mote from one of the employees, (handing over my shiny new driver's license in the process) and proceeded to play some Excite Truck. Man, playing that game was very fun, and although I had to get a bit used to the controls at first (I'm used to controlling virtual trucks with little control sticks, not by moving the entire controller left and right) the controls eventually, well, controlled like a dream.

Well, after several Excite Truck sessions shared by both me and Dan, and after exploring around the Wii's various "channels", we returned the remote, got my precious license back, left Gamestop, and walked home, satisfied that we had finally fulfilled our life goals - play the Nintendo Wii. Anyway, time's up. See you guys later.

(Oh, and if you juys have absolutely no clue what I've been talking about here, click this link and be prepared.)

I Am Bored

So, since I haven't updated this stupid thing since Monday (and even that wasn't really an update, just some silly little thing I make in 5 seconds using Fireworks) I really want to post an update today, as if I don't, I may lose interest in blogging like I have since, well, since before I started this blog :P

Anyway, I don't really know what to write about today.. besides the fact that I got only around 4 hours of sleep last night. I stayed up a bit longer than I should have playing (no, seriously:) calculator games. Yeah, go figure. Plus I had this 4 hour long planning meeting for planning out all the mutual activities for next year that started at around 7:00 in the morning. Ouch. Major sleep lackage, doods.

Welp, I got my real driver's license today in the mail.. and I have car insurance, but my dad still won't let me drive around anywhere. (Well, he did let me drive to the stake center for the above mentioned planning meeting, but that's because it's only, like, a half a mile away.) Apparently I'm only limited to driving to church and to work for now. Yeah, it bites. But hey, that means that on the days that I work, I can pretend that I had to work a bit later than usual so I can visit some of you peoples after I get off work! It's the perfect plan! Muhahahaha!

Anyway. Wow, I guess I found something to write about today. Fun, fun, fun. Ummm... closing quote. Lemme think of one here. "A mole, digging in a hole, digging up my soul now, going down, excavation." There ya go.

Got the car and the car chase, what's he got inside the case..

Okay, that title was random.. anyway, today my dad and I went to that multi-stake conference thing at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City. First of all, a good portion of the people there were denied access to the actual conference center building, even though there were reportedly several extra seats still available. So then a whole bunch of the people had to get relocated to the Assembly Hall, where my dad and I eventually ended up sitting (not the best building to sit in for two hours, in my opinion.. the seats are so cramped, and you have so little leg room, it's not even funny) But yeah, it was worth it, I guess, to see Thomas S. Monson read funny letters and reveal phone numbers of 11 year olds to 70,000 people. (Okay, okay.. that's only stretching the truth a little bit, yalls).

So anyway, enough of what I did today. Um.. here's a couple random things I have to say.

* I don't think I ever want to drive on the freeway again. The freeway scares me.
* U2 starts touring (yet again) on Tuesday.. hopefully they'll actually play some songs from Pop this time around.
* Nutella is addicting. Very addicting.
* This game makes me hungry.

...Yeah, that's it. I'm out of schtuff to say. So.. peace.

Late Start day..

So, right now I'm trying to find something interesting to do during the two hours we have, cause it's Late Start Day. So far I've just been finishing up some Super Stupid Smart Math that I was too lazy to do last night, while listening to some Weird Al, making macaroni and cheese for my sister, and posting on my new blog. So now, I think I'll tell you a crazy story right now.

Anywayzors, I got back from work around 9:45ish last night.. I was closing, but at 9:00 me and Yancey were almost done doing the stuff that the closers always do every night. All the dishes had been done, so I pulled the plug on one of the drains. But guess what? The pipe to the sink I was draining wasn't aimed toward the actual drain that the water goes to. So basically, I flooded a good portion of the backside of Papa Murphy's.. Anyway, Yancey told me that Drew (the most experienced employee there) did the exact same thing last night, so it apparently does happen quite a bit around there.

So yeah, that's my crazy story of the day right there. And now, the get up noise. *geddup noise sound*

Hi! Welcome to my new blog!

So, this is my new blog. I'm actually thinking of starting a, *cough cough* real *cough cough* blog now, so, hopefully I might actually start posting on it soon. Anyway, the name "Some Kind of Web Log" is temporary; I couldn't think of anything better :P So, yeah, see ya'lls around!
