Eh, vacations. It was hot, I was wearing pants. It was raining, I was cold. It was in French, I was clueless. It was cool though, I saw Richard Kind in the Broadway play The Producers, and then saw him two days later in Bewitched (It was kind of freaky). Oh, best part of the trip: free high-speed internet! That’s right, to all you people with access to broadband at home (probably most of you. humph.), some people don’t have that little extra piece of happiness, so enjoy.

I’m afraid we went on too many tours however. There was a three hour tour in French, a three hour tour on a boat, and a six hour tour that was in English but was essentially a glorified bus ride. The tour I did like though was the UN tour. It was the third time I’d been on it, but hey, it’s still interesting! Besides, I got to know the answers to all of the guide’s questions and seem like I’m really smart when I’m not. Ah, but the highlight of my vacation (thankfully the last one I have to take for a long time) was not Times Square, free Starbucks ice cream samples, or (dare I say it) the New Jersey sky line! (cue scream). The best part was that I got to go to Nintendo World. I stayed there for two and a half hours and (nervous laugher) took over 150 pictures… But that doesn’t mean that I’m a freak, got it?!

The fireworks were cool too (mind you, they were only ones I’d seen since Minnesota, but heh, like they could compare to Minnesota fireworks!) Here’s a picture of their reflection off the UN building (yes it’s blurry, but it was a two second exposure, give me a break!):

The only good picture I took in New York.

And then we ride home on Amtrak hours before they increase their security due to the London terrorist attacks. And then we come home to discover ants everywhere. And then I look outside to see hundreds of bugs flying around, poised to attack if I try to mow the grass. And now I’m wasting the last moments of freedom before summer PE painting my mom’s office and being forced to look where I step, for there might be dead bugs or ants anywhere these days. DIE, creatures of the earth!

them creatures. varmints, all of ‘em.

by the way, what did you think of The Producers? I went and saw it two years ago when I did an internship with my dad and he did a big presentation in New York and I really liked it, though it was because of this incident that I am deeply frightened of anything remotely near the ticket stand in times square… college students undressing to stand next to a nude cutout of orlando bloom. shudder.

Ahh! What was a nude cutout of Orlando Bloom doing in Times Square?! I really liked The Producers. There was quite a lot of humor that was… shall we say “less than acceptable in Mr. Small’s class”, but it was funny all the same. Apparently a movie version of it is coming out soon. That seems to be the new trend of movies - Broadway shows. There was The Phantom of the Opera, now there’s The Producers and Rent.

yeah well, the phantom of the opera was vile.

strangely, i have been spending the first half of the summer painting the game room and withering through summer p.e., now you get to do something remarkably similar the second half of summer.

i really wanna go to new york again, without the other fifteen people (that trip was muy fun, but still…)

I envy you. NYC is amazing. A perfectly polluted paradise of steroids.

Woah a photo a minute. That should be in a record book; or at least Michael Strickland’s book of world records.

i did me ON steriod, Urkle

wait, what?

aquilega, oh mysterious woman of fire and air, you must overcome your addiction to these urkelsteroids before they consume you entirely, and your comments devolve into mere sentence fragments and indistinguishable grunts and gasps. you have already used a SEMICOLON, you must stop the madness before you go too far! next you’ll be uttering such inexplicables as “george w. bush”, “melanie griffith” and “ready to microwave”!

speaking of pre-packaged food, i have told everyone about my make-out session with an orlando bloom cut-out? i’m sure i have, but helen’s story was still an odd coincidence.

yeah, its cabin fever. thats what new mexico is for…

oh and your blog is down, cox. fix it immediately.

LMAO, which is mych better than lmao. You made my day. Lee making out with card board? Seems like he could do much better than that.

The day I use the GWB phrase in a possitive manner is the day that ends all days. grunt gurrgle.

CRAP I did it AGAIN. Lmao is better than hahahah
