I'm also a bit disappointed that nothing happened exciting happened today, except that I'm making a movie for school about the history of Chemistry and Chemists. I'm toying with a title perhaps the 5 most influential Chemists in History, or maybe, 400 years of Chemistry in 10 minutes, I'm kind of leaning toward the 5-chemist thing, so I started working on Robert Boyle's allotted 2 minutes today. If you think you have a good Idea for my clip, feel free to comment to this post, your ideas will be welcomed.
Well, that's pretty well all there is, right now, maybe something will come up tomorrow, that will be considered Blog-worthy. See ya' later!

In case you didn't notice, I mentioned Sam and Matt in the "Special Thanks to" section. I did this because Matt got me started in making home videos in the first place, and Sam gave me the idea of making a ski vid by filming a few videos and putting them on his blog, So... Thanks Guys.
Enjoy the Video!

P.S. Make sure you have the speakers pluged in because music is a major part in this movie.
This is a picture of all the Vehicles in their "disguised" state.
This Picture is of the vehicles starting to transform. They look a little weird right now, but that's only because they are only half-way done.
All the robots are fully transformed but they are still laying on the ground.
this is looking out onto a small patch of woods in a different subdivision than the one I live in.
this is a pond in the already mentioned neighborhood. you can see some ducks out on the ice toward the right.
Close-up shot of said ducks.
It was so cold my head froze!
And then it broke off!!!!! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!
As you can see, I love snow. and all the laughs that come along with it. :-)
Anyway, I should go, I made some transformers out of Lego today, and i want to make some more to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Lego brick. I'll post the pictures of my transformers tomorrow. See ya'

Well, I don't know about you, But I'm looking forward to the release "Prince Caspian" on May 16th. I've heard rumors concerning a supposed "night raid" of Miraz's castle, I'll be OK with a slight addition to the original book, but if it significantly changes the story I think I'll be pretty disappointed with it. I mean, I can put up with a little Hollywoodization (if that's a word), but altering a classic story, in any large way, is unacceptable for me. Aside from the negative rumors, I hear it's going to be a VERY visually stunning, the Telmarines look WICKED COOL! Reapacheep's sword was designed beautifully, everything is very artistically detailed, and of course, the graphics are Fantastic. Only about 4 months till the release!
Well, I have to go, but be sure, if I hear anything more about the release of PC, I'll make sure to pass it on to you. I'll write again tomorrow.

P.S. in case you havn't seen the trailer yet, here the link to IMBD.com
P.P.S. This post is a big landmark for me. This Post marks the longest I've had a blog up and running (number of posts-wise). My last blog, GL's journal, has only 20 posts whereas this blog now has 21! WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!! (yay, throw the confetti, break out the noise makers!)
This is his gun all taken apart, next to the red circle it says "here is the problem"
This is a close up of the stock and Battery, next to the red circle it says "here is the Problem"
This is a Really close up of the problem, these wires get crammed inside the stock along with the Battery. Here's an explanation of the problem:
Wire "A" is one of two wires connected to the Gun's battery (we'll call the other wire connected to the Battery "C") Wire "B" is one of two wires connected to the internals of the gun (the is other wire connected to the internals is actually Wire "C", also mentioned above) As you can see, Wire A and wire B are not touching, in order for the electrical current to be complete, these two wires need to be connected together and taped in that position. they were taped together originally but somehow they got worked loose and stopped the flow of electricity, thus making the gun not shoot. I know the pictures aren't that good but that's because I had to edit them using paint and paint kinda' messes up the pictures.
Well, that's a load off of both Jonny and me, I'm sure glad he fixed it. Well, I have to go, I have to get going on my school work, as you can tell, I'm kinda' shirking my responsibility right now, but I was just so excited I had to post about it right away. Anyway, I gotta go, I'll post some again either later on today, or tomorrow night. See ya'

I don't know if you watched the football game today (NY Giants vs. GB packers), I heard that NY won it in overtime but now they have to play the NE Patriots two weeks from now in the super bowl, Now if the SB is going to be anything like the Giants-Patriots game at the end of the regular season, the Giants are going to get CREAMED! the Patriots have a very good team and they're patient. They're OK with waiting till their opponent gets tired out, then they turn on the "charm" and slaughter the other team. If I was to bet on this game, I would put an awful lot on New England. I can't wait for the big game, I really don't have favorite team between the two opponents; It would be cool to see a team break a major record by being the first team to win an entire 16 game season and win the super bowl, but At the same time I want to see the Giants take revenge on the Patriots for their defeat a few weeks back. So I guess I'll root for whoever wins the game (heh heh...).
Well, I guess I should stop talking your head off, I love talking about Football. See (um...see?) you later!

P.S. Josh came to church today, he says he has somewhat constant pain, but the antibiotics he's on take care of most of it. He'll be back to his normal self in a couple weeks but until then he has to take it easy. I hope he gets better soon.
I just finished playing "Lord of the rings Monopoly" with Mom and Jonny, Jonny went down first, slaughtered by the merciless cruelty only mothers can dish out, I went under next, desolated by the constant swipes and slashes at my personal wealth. as you have probably gathered, Mom won. Believe it or not, She wins EVERY game that includes money or war; Settlers of Catan, Monopoly, Risk, Masterpiece (an art auction game), Yahtzee...OK, so Yahtzee doesn't include money or war but she wins EVERY TIME! and she doesn't even care if she wins or not! she always says "it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game"yeah, well it's easy to say that when you whip us at every game on the planet without even trying" (sheesh) . Actually, she can't whip us at every game on the planet, I am the current record holder, in both single-round and whole-game, in Wordigo. In case you haven't heard of Wordigo, it's sort of in-between crossword puzzles and Scrabble. I know I shouldn't be prideful but it's hard not to when you have only one bragging right. well I guess I should get off of my soapbox, Jonny wants to go outside (what!...In January!?!?) or something, perhaps I should oblige him just this once. Maybe we'll play Frisbee or something. Talk to ya' later!

P.S. Jonny's airsoft gun is acting up again, it has done this once before, but that was just a blown fuse, but his time it really looks bad, he thinks it might be his Celluloid. We have concluded it is probably electrical because mechanical difficulties usually make noise, but it' just doing nothing, no noise, no vibration, no anything. If you have any suggestions as to what the problem might be and how to fix it, please leave a comment on this post, we're kinda worried about it. thanks

P.S. As it turns out Tim Hawkins isn't going to the Christian Heritage Conference, he's going to the Northwest Christian Educator's Conference. Close, but no comedian (if I may butcher the saying) To bad, I would really had liked to see him live.

Last night Mom finished sewing some patches on my new Air Force patrol cap, It looks WICKED cool! I just heard from Sam that Josh has a kidney infection and is only got one hour of sleep last night because he was throwing-up to much. One more thing, Josh's new gun is acting up; aparently they loaded it up and took it outside to test it and it fired a couple shots and then started jamming up and making a loud whining noise.(?????) Boy, I'll bet josh feels horible, he's sick, he probably can't play in the Battle on Saturday, his gun is broken...ect, ect, ect. poor kid hope he gets better soon. Well I gotta go, talk (er...write) to ya' later!

We had the booy family over for dinner and of course they ended up staying till midnight, not that's a bad thing, I really enjoyed it. We played dutch blitz, that's a fun game!
There is one thing that I reeeeeaaaaaally don't like about New Years: fireworks. Some -bleeeeep-ing people believe that for some stupid reason, they have to shoot off fireworks on new years. This is really annoying to me, I mean if you're going to shoot off fireworks, then shoot them off near my house so I can see them explode for goodness sake! how inconsiderate of them! anyway, I had a great time over new years eve, I hope you did too, welcome to 2008!
