I can’t sing. At least not in the stressful conditions of the choir room, in parts, with few people, and the most complex music I’ve seen on paper. Of course, if I were any other Jet, I would have a solo at some point, so there lays the silver lining of having a practically silent role (in addition of course to little memorization of lines, people not counting on you for cues, ect.). But really, I haven’t sung in a choir for years, this is much more complicated than the music I used to sing, there are like three people in my part, and I get a headache after every rehearsal.

I am very picky about toothpaste. It must be mint, a certain kind of mint, gel - not paste, and you’d be surprised how many other small differences change the taste. Now, we’ve all seen the commercials for Crest Whitening Expressions (you know, with Emeril Lagasse and his BAM). But when I saw that these people had started making vanilla flavored toothpaste (with a hint of mint, of course), well, I mean, come on! It’s not bad - beats my old toothpaste, anyway. I’m disappointed that I gave into a commercial, regardless of how good the toothpaste is - next you’ll start to see me buy as seen on tv music collections and strainer pots.

My sister recently showed me an interesting website that you should all check out (if you use Google anyway). elgooG, Google backwards, is a yllatot looc etisbew that you can spend a good five minutes on. It’s Google, but it’s been flipped left to right, you even type from the right. You can have fun by typing in your normal searches (backwards, of course), and seeing all the nice pages with text flying the wrong way and a flood of backwards images. The best part - Google news is backwards too! See if you can find hsuB or NNC anywhere. I was a bit upset that Google in Japanese became all messed up - I guess FireFox gets confused with backwards kanji. And if your feeling genorous, there is a Paypal donate page to help with bandwidth, so I gave $.50. Aren’t I kind?

I’ve found another awesome blog! This one is by Nynaeve al’Meara, who has been at it for a while. Anyway, she’s done a really nice job with it - check out her blog, no inhibitions. Well, I have to go get ready for school to take my History exam. It was sure nice to get to sleep in because I had PE during first exam period today, so I get to come in late. Later,

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

My family gets the New Yorker. I open it up and find a whole article about your main man, Miyazaki himself!!!!~!!!11!!!

http://newyorker.com/online/content/?050117on_onlineonly01

I see you are a fellow Firefox man. Good for you.

Actually, that link is a Q&A with the author. I can bring the New Yorker to school if you don’t get the magazine at home.

I know, I just found out today on nausicaa.net! That would be so awesome if you could bring the magazine to lunch or something, though someone will probably have posted it online by know. He almost never gives interviews, so this is a big thing.
