I did stuff today. Fun stuff, dumb stuff, funny stuff, boring stuff, retarded stuff, confusing stuff, weird stuff.

Senior High Retreat pictures. Yes, I'm that slow.

Right. Got these today from the video class laptop.I didn't take these. Dunno who did. So... I didn't have alot to choose from. Bob and Sam. Wait. This isn't from retreat. Oh well. Ugh. Neither is this. This is Mike. From a skit in chapel. l-r: Tony, Aaron, Deanna, TJ, Mike. Miss Reeves, Tyler (I think) as a chair, Preston and Sam as the table. At one point during the skit, TJ "fainted" and fell on the "table". Jeremy and Mike. In the mess hall. Steve. Jeremy, Mr. Spickler, Sam. People playing basketball. I wish I had a picture of how awesome the view was from there. Mike and TJ.... Fall Bash was fun. Played dodgeball, ate, watched Power Sabres movie, played couples kickball, then a bunch of games involving people sitting on chairs and/or people. Good times. SNL was awesome. "I am.. daffodils." And Hugh played a song!! All We Gotta Do Is *mumblejumble* I taped it, but the reception I get is extremely crappy. Oh well. I can find it on the internet somewhere else.

home. star. run. run.

Ooooh. Everything Else, Volume 2 is out. I'm gonna buy it. Sweet.

Myspace is being stupid. Whee. Fall Bash is today. We're showing the Power "Sabres" thing there- It'll be the first time any of us in the class besides Bob will see it finished. Finally. My government class is having a mock-election, with posters and commercials and junk. Wynn Kner & Victor E. Forus = Republican candidates. Han Solo & Chewbacca = Democrats. I'm on the board of elections, along with Kristin and Brittni, which means we have to make sure everyone's registered to vote and set up stuff. There's gonna be some kind of debate; I don't even know when it is. But it's gonna be funny. Hugh's hosting SNL tonight. Yay.

leaves

I just finished raking them. Ugh. Well, I only did for like 10 minutes. My legs are sore. Video class was extremely funny today. Jeremy and Sam resang the theme song to "go go power sabres" because the school's mascot-y things are sabres. It was so, so great. Bob was practically crying laughing. We taped it too. If I can get Bob to send it to me, I'll post it. That song is stuck in my head. Very stuck.

TMBG videos I made a while ago. In reverse chronological order.

walk-a-lot

We had rhe Walk-a-thon today. Walked around the parking lot 53 times. Kristin wore a pedometer; it said 10.03 miles. It was alright. I walked at the very front of the line with Mr. Wright. We talked about Calvin and Hobbes, how to get infinite lives on Super Mario Brothers, and how to grow ships inside bottles. It was fun. Walked with Kristin and Chris and Heather too. Everyone was getting free hotdogs and chips and pop for lunch; our class ordered pizza. Pizza, even if you have to pay for it, trumps free hot dogs. We finished an hour early and went into the gym and played volleyball. My legs are gonna be sore-ish tomorrow. Not too bad, though.

snow

Ugh. We're not going in the nice woods and walking for the Walk-a-thon. Apparently it's gonna be too cold and/or wet. So, tomorrow, the wholes school's walking around the parking lot. 52 times. Which equals 10 miles. It's dumb. It snowed a little today. Snow pellets. A NOTE ON SPORTS "Please note that there are only two references to sports in this book. They are on pages 71 and 95, and both are appropriately dismissive. If you wish for sports information, might I kindly refer you to every other aspect of our culture?" -John Hodgman, The Areas of My Expertise My sister's last volleyball game was today. It was supposed to start at five. The other team didn't get there until after 6:45. We were suprised they even showed up; it was the first time they'd ever actually come to our gym: they'd always cancel. They stunk. We won in two games. I have Oregon stuck in my head. Oregon is baaaad. Stop it if you caaaan. Run away. Run away.

vox pop

"So I said 'Why don't you shove it where the sun don't shine' and so he did. He put it in the cupboard under the stairs and it hasn't been mentioned since." - Stephen Fry Uh...heard there's a new SBemail. I shall go watch it presently. We did Taebo in gym class today. Also known as "excercise that makes everyone feel like a idiot." It didn't help that Mr. Spieth and Mr. Frymier were up on the deck fixing stuff. They watched us and kept laughing. It was fun. Ugh. I've got three tests to do tomorrow: two to make up from when I was sick, and another one. Fun. I have become obsessed with Hugh more so than I was before. (If that's possible) Yesterday, I watched Blackadder's Christmas Carol, the first episode of Blackadder the Third: Dish and Dishonesty, then the Christmas Carol again, then the end-ish part of 101 Dalmations where Horace and Jasper beat themselves up, then tiny bits of Stuart Little 2. Yeah.

Squirrels

I saw a squirrel in the backyard. I went outside and started walking towards it. I threw a roll of tape at it and missed, but it didn't run. As I got closer, the squirrel climbed up the fence and sat on top of it. I got about five feet away from it before it ran up the side of the tree and down the telephone wire.

Hugh Laurie is <b>so awesome</b>!

Uploaded a bunch of icons on deviantart.com today. www.valerie2776.deviantart.com I'm too lazy to make a link. I'm bored. I shouldn't be bored. I should be reading MJF's Lucky Man. The book report's due Monday. Still haven't started reading it. Made a dvd of a ton of TMBG tv appearances and things. Mostly from clooves.com/tmbg.html. It looks cool. I got Sensurround! The version from the Power Rangers soundtrack. Whoo! I've been trying to find that for forever. Yay for Bob.

Icons and junk

I made a few Hugh icons while I was sick. And two old stupid ones. Took the PSAT today. Had to make it up from when I was sick. It was a cool day: I only had to go to Bible, then lunch, then Algebra II, then study hall where I got to use the new laptop a little, and then typing. Heh. In Bible, Kristen kept singing the first line of the Auto Pilot commercial over and over. She had it stuck in her head. And then I did too. Automated. Automatic. Autopilot. And I changed my background. Ooh. Mr. Laurie's hosting SNL the 28th. Or so I've heard...

I was bored today. I watched Ok Go's treadmill routine for first time today. It is insanely awesome. And it looks so fun to do. Ok Go and Tally Hall are cool. The second's website is very interesting.

Stayed home again today. I love YouTube. I'm thinking of buying A Bit of Fry and Laurie now; I read that a box set of all four seasons comes out in the UK October 26th. Guess I'll wait until it's released here. Yay.

I stayed home from school today. Am sick. But, I got to browse YouTube for like two hours. There are a ton of awesome old clips of Hugh Laurie from ABoFaL on there.

Changed my mind. Greenscreen thing was too long. It snowed the other day. Some time last week. I like the snow very much. Sam doesn't apparently. Proof that it really did snow:

Back from my sister's volleyball game. It was dumb. Her team won, but it took three games. They shoulda won in two. They played bad. I thought, anyway. No real refs or stuff. Ick. PODCAST 8A! Finally. I love Flans's voice. But where's the Mohegan Sun? Editing was really fun today. Especially doing the voiceovers. Mostly grunting, "hiyata"s, and the like. We were in the science lab; Bob borught his computer and monitor in and Jeremy brought just his monitor so we could preview stuff on that screen. Sony Vegas is very cool. Pretty simple to use, too. I got to stay up there all day with Bob and Jeremy. And Sam too, for most of the time. Mrs. Clark made us hot chocolate with marshmallows. At the end of the day, when I went downstairs to give Jeremy his monitor back, he and Mrs. Clark were wheeling a cart with a ton of new stuff for Video Class on it. We got a laptop, two new computer/stuff cases, two tripods (YES! No more tape and pipe cleaners holding the camera in position!), and some blank tapes. We're getting a HD camera too, but it didn't come in today. Whee. We get to play with the laptop tomorrow. Yay! It's extremely shiny. I have one of the video cameras. I shall upload some random clip. First one's of Jeremy and Sam messing with the "green screen"... with the blanket, ok, it's just a blanket.

Yay for the new DD commercials. And more from Linnell! The people lip synching freaks me out though. I've done absolutely nothing today. I got up at 12, watched tv, played my sister's DS, finished reading a book, and now I'm on here. Hey, it's Saturday.

This happened yesterday whilst filming Power Rangers stuff. Sam's the one in black and TJ's in red. I love this. Poor them. EDIT. I lied. It was two days ago.

w00t. Editing day Monday. All day; just me, Bob, and Jeremy. Will be extremely fun. No work. Yay. I just finished reading Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception. Started it yesterday. I love those books. They're cool. I still have to start reading/finish reading/write a book report for Michael J. Fox's autobiography for school. I've read it before. Shh. Don't tell Miss Reeves. It's not like I'm not going to read the whole thing.

Just got back from volleyball games. It was Senior Night. The junior high won in two games, jv lost, and varstiy won in four games. It was really fun. Bob taped the game for Ashleigh. Me and Kelly and him commentated.

A subject line!

The laptop's messed up. Well, my account on it is. Too long to explain it, but it stinks. All my files and junk are still there, though. My neck hurts. From gym class. We were playing Ultimate Frisbee when I felt something heavy and pointed strike me in the back of my neck. Actually, it was Kristen's elbow into the side of my neck. Around the top of my jaw/below my ear. It's like when you try to blow up a balloon, but you can't, and it hurts your neck. No Walk-a-thon this Friday. So it's two weeks from the 13th. And the next day is the Fall Bash. Mr. Wright said it should be the Fall Crash, and we'd all bring pillows and blankets and lay down and watch movies, since we all'll be so tired. DeviantArt depresses me. It's like having art class and sitting next to Steph, but a hundred times over. A ton of people draw good.

Just got back from a junior/senior class party at Katelyn's house. Jeremy ate a burnt marshmallow covered in grass dirt for a buck. And me and Mike stood staring at eachother for, like 10 minutes while we were playing capture the flag. He was on the other team; we were standing right on the boundary line. He'd step forward past it, I'd run towards him and he'd run back. We gave up after a while and sat by the bonfire.

I feel so happy. During lunch while we were selling, Heather hit Mike with a waterbottle and tried to pretend like it was me who'd done it. Mike says: "Valerie wouldn't do that; she's awesome." And I was all like "Ooh. I'm awesome." And Brittany says "Valerie is awesome. That totally made my day. YAY TMBG CLOCK RADIO!! I can use it now!! Got back from volleyball games a little while ago. Junior Hugh and Varsity. Both won. And since Deanna wasn't there, I kept scorebook for Varsity as well as JH. It was good. Wait. Haha. Junior Hugh? Man. I'm going through Hugh Laurie withdrawal or something.

Another clip of Power Rangers. It was really wet and half-raining that day. It was gross. http://media.putfile.com/Jeremy-and-Sam-battle-small Dumb place doesn't have codes for embedding videos. Oh well.

I got Weird Al's Bad Hair Day at the library. I love Amish Paradise, Everything You Know Is Worng, Gump, and I Remember Larry. I didn't think that Everything You KNow Is Wrong was too TMBG-seque, but it's still cool. I've got part of the Power Rangers edited! It's awesome.
