Burnination!!

"It's snowing blood."


Well, my post finally. Last night/today it snowed, and it's cold. We didn't get out of school, but I kinda expected that. Although we did get a 2 hour delay, which I found out abit too late. Because of the coldness, the snow is turning to ice sort of. The lake in our subdivision is frozen a pretty good 6 inch. It would be so awesome to ice skate on it..but then I'd probably drowned.

I went around and took some snow pics. The one above I tweaked in PhotoShop. Some how the lake made me think of the one in "Dante's Inferno" (aka. Hell). The name I believe is "Phlegethon" where the "violent sinners" will end up.
The title was inspired by "Fahrenheit 451". Though this time 647 is the temperature which all things burn..expect for water/snow. Right...

Anywho..enuff about that.

I have so much work to do, especially in English. We had to re-write a scene from the play "Our Town" last friday and "act" it out in class today. My group was the longest...to much dedication on my part. On top of that, 2 projects: an Era project which we research on 20s-30s in 2 weeks. And then we have to present for 150mins. I really don't see how that relates to English...
Also, reading 2 novels for the next one month with a report and presentation.
So yeah..it kind of sucks. And I'm wasting so much homework time now.
Bye.

Update

Good news everyone. Comments are now back.
Due to hosting problems, Blogspeak is officially shut down. The funny thing is, Haloscan, which I thought of using before, decided to host all Blogspeak users. So now, BN's comments are in the hands of Haloscan. On the plus side, all the old comments are intact.
All Blogspeak users should've received an email. If not, check with Haloscan's website.

Happy Blogging!

Meh...

"BlogSpeak is currently down because the bastards that host it decided to suspend my account. I do not know as of yet when this situation will be resolved. If you don't want any JavaScript errors on your pages, take the code off for the time being. Thanks for your patience."

I was wondering why everyone's comment went down...oh well. I guess I'll wait for the mean time. If they can't fix it, I'll switch to HaloScan (the one Kristen is currently using.)

Well..I don't have to much to blog about lately. I'm on my one week "winter break". I really need this. I can catch up on tons of stuff like art, games, TV, and yeah..school work. I've been drawing more recently,a spur of ideas. Even have in mind for a manga..but most likely not gonna work.

I didn't feel much like sleeping, and I had this idea for awhile now:
"Bazz barcode"
So I finally took the time to give my blog a new look. It's not 100% what I wanted, since I dunno how to tweak some of the htmls. Anywho, hope this looks alright, I'll try to update on it.

Black Jesus

Like Black Santa wasn't enough. I was watching CNN the other day, one report intrigued me. It goes somewhat like this:
A church filed a report for a missing baby Jesus doll for the manger scene that sets outside of the church. A few days later, the doll was returned to its rightful place, but it was different. The doll was painted a shade of brown. Attached to it was a note that read some like:
" You and most people should know that Jesus is not an Aryan. I believe you do know this but doesn't have the consent to show it."
Not much is know about who has stolen the doll.

Well, that's about all I remember from it. I tried to find the original article on CNN.com, but not much luck. If you find anymore info on it, please let me know.

Abit of Update

Well..at least my computer is still here As you've read in my last post, my dad totally screwed up my comp. I've been working hard these days fixing everything or at least trying to.Report:


    Before:
  • computers: Sony VAIO
  • parts: new cpu/motherboard
  • OS: Win95, 2000
  • hardrive used: 40 gigs
  • # of pirated music files: 400
  • Status: Ready for upgrade

    After:
  • Computer: Sony VAIO
  • parts: fried motherboard
  • OS: Win2000
  • harddrive used: 4 gigs
  • # of pirated music file that's usable: 50
  • Status: Completion of downgrade

Approx time: 4 days.

As you can see, I recovered about 2G (out of 32) from my D drive. I guess it's better than nothing, but most of the files are corrupted. For instance, the picture files (mostly my artworks) are really useless now. Only 1/2 the data came through--- only 1/2 the pic can be seen.
Right now I'm using my VAIO..open cased. nothing gain really, except for this whole experience. What a thrill...
I don't know what's gonna become of my comp. It'll be a while till I get another upgrade ( Since my dad fried the good motherboard..yup). He wants to install WinXP on here, but I'm probably going to pass. There's still lot of work to come. I have to reinstall all my programs now...

Anyway, on other updates. I wanted something new, so why not a poll? I couldn't find a good script for a poll, so pardon the crappiness. I started a new file on FFVII, so that's why I chose to topic. I can't decide myself, so I wanted to see the readers response *Vote*. I'm wanting everyone to vote.


Yes, one vote can make a difference.
