The Story of Stuff

This is a short little vidio about, well, the story of stuff. Where it comes from, where it goes, and what happens to it in-between. I would really recommed watching it. http://www.storyofstuff.com/

busy busy busy!!!

Goodness, I've been busy. Finnegan, online English course, another online course, violin and choir , and just general "school" work is keeping me busy.

And in October, I'll have ANOTHER thing to keep me busy: I got the job at the library!!! Finally!!! I go in for my orinantation on Oct. 3. My shift will be on Saturday afternoon and every second Friday. Maybe not the best shifts, but hey, I got the job!!

And now I have to go see what Finnegan's doing. :)

err.... picture. This is a river near where I live.

rain in July???

No, I am not kidding. Rain in July. And it rained for a week strait. I think something might be not quite right here. It also had the nerve to rain on the weekend of the Folk Fest, which sucked. Oh well. At least we are back to summer wheather!

The sky, blue as the sea,
The gentle wind, cooling,
The warm sun, blessing the earth,
The birds, blessing the world with their song
In the summer.

Peace!

Some pictures I like...
That tiny speck of a person is me.

That's Half Moon bay, on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

20th post

This is my 20th post on this blog. Wow.... anyway.........

We had really weird weather today. First it was an overcast day, not raining, but not sunny... and then, a little while after lunch, we hear big, rumbling boom. Sure enough, it was thunder. Then it started raining buckets. This was the first thunder storm in... Oh, I don't know how long. I used to be scared of thunder, but not anymore. (I find thunder storms rather odd now: all the light and noise and the occasional fire started by lightening... all for the want of an electron! A microscopic particle! Strange, no?) Then, as if the weather wanted to prove that no one could ever understand it, the sun decided to come out. It's been shining ever since.

peace.

humph.

I've been rather tired of late. I don't know why. I think I've been getting enough sleep... maybe I haven't been getting enough exercise. I'm going to bed early tonight: right after I finish writing this post, I'm going to bed.

I've discovered a really neat program on The Knowledge Network. It's called The Leading Edge, and it's about scientific happenings. It's very interesting. On the latest show was a thingy about the creator of the fastest bikes in the world, which I thought was very cool. It's kind of short, only half an hour, but that's life.

I'm tired. I really shouldn't write on here when I'm tired. I can't think clearly. Good night ZZZZzzzzzz..... .

Sick and other things.

I got sick a little while ago. Not terribly sick, but just a little. It was weird... it was like I was totally drained of energy. But I'm WAY better now, so it's all good.

My choir sang in the music festival last Friday. I think we did an awesome job. Although there was one little mix up: we sang "song" when we were supposed to sing "rhythm". (Oops!) But our choir directer and the adjudicator both seemed happy, so that was good. The adjudicator was funny: she used words like "scrumptious" and "yummy". Not exactly the words that you would expect, but she was really positive, and she did a good job. It was fun.

Well, I'm out of here.
May the stars watch over you.

odd camara story

Well, this was odd. Ok, well, we haven't had a camera for a little while, due to the fact that I dropped it. (The camera worked, but it wouldn't down-load the pictures onto the computer). So, a few days ago, my mom and I were in Victoria, and my mom was like, Ok, we've been without a camera for to long, so let's just get one. So we did. When we got home, my dad told us that we were going to get his friend's old camera. Yeeks! So, I think we will keep the new camera until the other camera gets here, and then compare. (I said I'd compare by which one takes the better action shot).
I hope we keep the new camera. It's so cute!

later!
