Detention

Detention wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I mean, all I did was stay after school to do some homework. I still think I got detentionised unjustly. But it was fun, in a weird, twisted sort of sense. Now the next thing to look forward to is Episode II of Sunday rehersals.

What I really hate

Do you all know what I really hate? O'Reilly. In short, she gave me a friday afternoon detention for an unjust reason. There were people sleeping in class (no naming), people rummaging in recycle bins for, um, nothing and peole bashing each other and she has to catch me and Garyn playing on the calcumalator. Guess I'll cop it like a man and turn up.

Sunday Rehersals

Man, rehersals were boring today. Nobody even turned up. I was stuck with this random clarinet and this MacRob chick. Then I found Chris...at twelve o'clock, after an hour of wandering around by myself, listening to my iPod.

Today, I found out that iPod plays music to match your mood. On my way to South Yarra to buy lunch, it started playing 'Lonely'. Then, when this guy was trying to pick up, it started playing 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl'. When I was starting to get bored, it played 'Axel F.' The list goes on. Oh yeah, just like the One Ring, it can read your mind. I'm looking forward to the next installment of 'Sunday Rehersals'.

Check mate


This happened a while ago, but I've finally organised work experience. Then I realised that there wasn't much of a rush. I mean, practically no-one has organised theirs.

The fad of Chinese Chess is still going strong despite Andrew Chiu's attempts to replace it with Mahjong. The 'Pow', as Michael Phan calls it, still lives. Incidentally, the photo is mine. I took it for Photojournalism. Yes, that is James Cheng playing. And yes, he is losing. As per usual. And the games barely started...

iRing


Highlight of the day: lacrosse. Even though people just went crazy, it was fun, in a Frenchie, stick-throwing thing sort of way. Those helmets are pretty goddamn useless. I mean, no one even got hit on the head.

Anyway, onto books. I finished the newest Harry Potter at a speed of which many people either call slow or fast. I finished it on Monday morning. I highly recommend it. Even if I didn't, all of you would buy it anyway. I highly disrecommend Catcher in the Rye, as it is about nothing and the philosophy of nothingness. And about a random American guy wagging school.

I have also drawn similarities between the iPod and the One Ring in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
  1. Apple is using it to take over the world.
  2. It seems to possess people and make them envious. People go to extremes to get their hands on one eg. stealing.
  3. Once you get one, you can't leave it at home or not use it.
  4. It's shiny (well, the mini is anyway).
Hence, iRing. Anyway, I'm not bagging it. They are awesome. It's just my opinion. Oh yeah, leave comments. Comments unblock my Chi...

Bombing of England

I decided to go fishing last night. I know, not really that exciting. But then when I came home at eleven, I saw that terrorists had bombed England. These things always happen when I go to bed even slightly later then normal. The tsunami happened late at night when I was awake as well. By the way, I offer my condolences to England.

Death-Hop

I haven't posted in a while but now I have lots to post about, which makes sense. Anyway, I finished doing community service today at an old folks home. I saw something on TV which was hilarious. When being interviewed on, guess what, swimming, Ian Thorpe revealed that he wasn't swimming at the championships. Big deal. When questioned on why he doesn't swim the 1500m anymore, Mr.-I-have-a-huge-vocab replied 'It's, like, too far.' I found it funny at least. I can just hear you blinking stupidly about now.

This girl that was doing community service declared that she liked R n B singers like Jamelia (who isn't) and this other guy said he liked death metal. I like hip-hop and R n B, so I think there should be a fusion of death metal and hip-hop to create death-hop (or hip-metal). I mean, to suit everyones taste.

I've just found out that the holidays are over and I haven't done anything constructive. Well, that's life.

I also found out that you can get fake livestrong bands from 2 dollar shops. There you go, Garyn. Get one for your sister. Anyway, I better start on doing some homework.
