Some Hilarious Videos

Yesterday, I found some absolutely insane videos on YouTube. It is a series called "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?" in which, the host puts things in a microwave that shouldn't be put in a microwave. That guy is crazy, he is on his seventh microwave as of now. Some of the things he has put in a microwave are: light bulbs, soap, liquid soap, lighters, a lava lamp, 2 furbies, eggs, fireworks (those killed his fifth microwave), bubble gum, ping pong balls (they did something really weird), canned spam (still sealed), CDs, a snowglobe, and even IPods. Check them out!

Brisingr Reviewed

Last night, I finished reading "Brisingr" the third book in Christopher Paolini's "Inheritance" series. This book is amazing. It is so good that I don't even want to give away any spoilers. I will tell you a few things. But first off, you need to understand the first two books "Eragon" and "Eldest". If you have not read these, you will not understand these (little) spoilers.

(spoiler)(spoiler)(spoiler) This book begins where Eldest left off. The first thing of importance that happens is that Eragon is sent to Farthen Dur in order to help speed up the process of selecting a new king there. Near the middle of the book, Eragon is told the source of Galbatorix's power. Near the end, Eragon does again what he did with Durza. About 3/4 of the way through the book Eragon gets a new rider sword.

A Very Fast Day of School

Today is going very fast. I have nothing but chores and play to do. I plan to begin this immediately. See you later.

Garry's Mod update

Yesterday, my brother finally got "Wire". I am very happy about this, because now I can build unmanned, victim-independent, undetectable traps. Victim-dependent traps are triggered by the one who is hit by the trap (A.K.A. A button that drops a dumpster on the person who presses it) and can be easily avoided. Victim-independent traps are not triggered by the one who is hit by the trap (A.K.A. An invisible laser that when broken, shoots laser beams at the person that broke it) and are very hard to avoid. This means I can now annoy my brother even more.

Stentor

"Stentor" is a protozoan, a ciliate, (phylum ciliaphora) to be precise. Stentor is the worlds largest single-celled organism. It can reach a length of up to 1/10 of an inch long. This really is a macroscopic cell. Stentor is so large that it eats just about everything else in the microscopic world. Stentor is commonly found in fresh water (like pond water) and you dont need a microscope to find it.

My Concert Band Music

Right now, I am practicing a music piece for concert band. This piece is called"the Rites of Tamburo" and is quite fun. I am lucky enough to have gotten the timpani part on this music. The timpani part is somewhat simple. I really like this song, and hope it comes out right on the day of the concert (no idea when that is yet).

Packing Up and Giving Away

We have been doing a large amount of packing and giving away recently. The basic idea is: If we need it, pack it. If we don't need it or can't use it, give it away. This means that we must go into the garage, find a section, and start boxing stuff up. We have had a little respite recently, but I know this will be short lived. Well, I had better get going soon. Plenty of school to get done.
