A few days ago I posted a modern rendition of Goldie Locks, so I am now following it up with another classic re-make: Little Red Riding Hood:

Blue Team
Catlin Gabel Mock Trial Team Blue will be going to the States. After a strenuous and testing day at regionals in which both Team Blue and White did very well, Team Blue placed fourth, allowing them to move on to the next level along with Lincoln and St. Mary's. The competition will use the same court case, so they are already prepared, but you can be sure that won't stop Eli from and Leah from pushing full force the coming two weeks or so prior to the State Competition. Many people on the White Team expressed their joy and congrats to the Blue Team, but in secret, it was a rather unanimous agreement that though we were happy for them, we would not want to be in their place. For us, Mock Trial is over. We can breath again.

The Pickled Czar
What would you be willing to do? And let the evidence show that nothing could be done. And understand that this was known by the aides well in advance. Apparently they gave the command, but she paid them to say it, you can tell. There's just that look in here eye; especially the third one, right above her nose. And Marx supplied the explanation: that capitalism causes despair. Unfortunately, so does revolution. The poor Czar, he didn't even know until it was too late, he was stuck in a pickle, stuck in a jam; well he was stuck from the very beginning.

Slow
I apologize(?) for the drastic decline in posts recently. It's not that I've lost interest, I haven't; it is simply that I really have very little to write about. Class trip today. SYC Regatta coming up. Chaucer day coming up. Mock Trial dress rehersal for the final competition on Saturday. What's up with you? I want to know what you're up to and how life is treating you.

RJD2, Let There Be Horns
How did I not know about this? RJD2's new piece, Let There Be Horns, from his new album The Colossus, is reverting back to his classic style. After his most recent and rather disappointing album The Second Hand, RJD2 appears to have dropped the pop-attempt and return to what he knows best. The video is detracting of the music itself, so I recommend you hit play and let the music go as you read on down the blog. If you do decide to watch the video, try to catch his cameo performance. Listen to some other of his new pieces on his MySpace page, but if you really want to hear him at his best, listen to one of his original albums, preferably Deadringer. Anyway, enjoy:

Blog exploration. Found a plethora of photos. Posted are only a few of the more appropriate.
Yesterday's Diet
I ate a pack of M&Ms, two Reeces, Cinnamon Pop Tarts, half of a chocolate muffin, some peanut butter, a Tasty-Cake, and a hot chocolate with one ton of whipped cream on top. Its cool though, I balanced it out with a bite of Hannah's apple.

Blogger Demographic
Okay, I don't really know who you are or what demographic you fit into, and let's not talk about me (for once) and what demographic I fit in, but I was hitting the "Next Blog" button up on that top dash board bar, and this is roughly what I found:
> Alot of single asian chicks bitching about everything.
> Alot of house wives who devote their entire blogs to pictures of their children.
> Alot of lonely old men in midwestern US droning on about politics they know nothing about.
> Occasionally there's a blog with some original photography, writing, and interesting videos, and a few links here and there. Not that I'm biased to this type of blog or anything.

"A Swiss freediver held his breath underwater for 19 minutes and 21 seconds..." WHAT?! Why would you ever do that? "There may be long-lasting health consequences to extreme breath-holding" NO SHIT! Death?
Due Today
When I Have Fears
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high piled books, in charact'ry,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love;—then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think,
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
- John Keats

Kaleb's Bag
Last year I "borrowed" Kaleb's messenger bag. It was made out of a sail, and was just calling for me. He never used it, so I didn't feel all that bad, and had intentions of returning it anyway. Well, it never got returned, and I've used the bag all sophomore year. The strap broke yesterday, and now I feel horrible.
Mass Texting
I got chewed out by my friends for mass texting them. I asked four people if they wanted to hang, but I used the same message, just sent it to four different people. They took it as an insult, as if I didn't actually want to hang with them. I wouldn't have sent it to them if I didn't want to hang. It's not like I sent it to my entire contact list. From now on I will either begin every message with their name, so they know it's personal, or a disclaimer stating, "THIS IS A MASS TEXT".

DJ Farce
DJ Farce is storming the page with some wicked new tracks. Originally making his debut with the high school crowd, DJ Farce is moving on, publishing his newest works on SoundCloud. Opening up with some House and Techno, you can be sure there's more in the works, and certainly worth waiting for. In the meantime, check out his published pieces!
A Good Day
I was saving this image for a bad day, to cheer me up. However, today was a good day, in Amanda's unoriginal words. Rock Climbing, Mock Trial, no classes after lunch, and free Shasta, Spam, sheet cake, and salsa at the Outdoor Office for their anniversary.
My Teachers
This Sauer,
like a greek god,
with grey hair and glasses.
Not with infatuation,
but with imagination, fascination.
What caused this god to humanize,
and why my science class?
And Wiser,
wiser than a fox,
a professor in sheep's clothing,
being a fleece and jeans that is.
There's Mathes:
a teacher of sorts,
and that is, more of giggles and snorts
than of poetry and classical shorts.
And for a man named Potts,
he stops at Spam and Shasta.
If you know this man you know no words suffice,
no poetic piece could ever paint this man right.
As for Lawton,
well he's a funny character,
not really.
And Lauren, long-last-name,
plays the shame game with kenny
who plays the penis game with jared,
who sits on the other side of me from oh-so-lame.
Tucker's cool,
a little too kind
to the bunch of hooligans,
especially Ian and I,
but they're no girls in the class,
so we don't mind.
And this is my day,
my eight to five.

Science Homework
"Counting (or calculating) the number of atoms in 28.0855 g of silicon is one way of determining the Avogadro constant, NA, and a way which is currently receiving a lot of attention (see below) although, as of the 2006 CODATA values of the physical constants, it is not the most accurate. It is only a method of determining NA because it is known by other means that 28.0855 g of silicon is equivalent to one mole. Those other means are:
- the very accurate determination of the ratios of the masses of each of the three silicon nuclides to the mass of an atom of carbon-12, in such a way that it is known that a silicon-28 atom is [27.976 926 5327(20)/12] times as massive as a carbon-12 atom;
- the determination of the isotopic abundance of silicon in the samples used to make the measurements, allowing the calculation of the atomic weight of silicon in each individual sample;
- the definition of 12 g of carbon-12 atoms to be equivalent to one mole."

Spread of Cancer Discovered
"Reporting in Nature Cell Biology, researchers describe the discovery of a specific protein called disabled-2 (Dab2) that switches on the process that releases cancer cells from the original tumor and allows the cells to spread and develop into new tumors in other parts of the body. The process called epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferientiation (EMT) has been known to play a role in releasing cells (epithelial cells) on the surface of the solid tumor and transforming them into transient mesenchymal cell: cells with the ability to start to grow a new tumor."
Please Hold in The Light
At least 25 killed in Belgian train accident this morning. No official cause for the accident has yet been given, but it is believed to have been caused when one train ran a red light and track change, and rear-ended another train using the track.

Overly Subjective
I'm not quite sure how figure skating is scored in the Olympics. I was caught up by the love story of Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, the Chinese pair. They ended with a record breaking score of 76.66 and I was certainly happy for them. I'm torn though, I feel that the Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig had a truly outstanding performance with such grace, flawless synchronization, and most of all, an apparent energy that radiated. They not only had fun on the ice, but they did so beautifully. I am disappointed by their score of 57.86. I think they deserved better. I hereby step of my soapbox.
Ultimate Ski Car
Nissan and Black Crows have teamed up to create a special edition Nissan Cube. The Cube comes in only Red or Blue, with the Black Crows logo on the door, and a pair of complimentary skis.
Epiphany
"... as my eyes closed, I vowed never to forget,
which is to say remember,
because to remember is so much more a worthy effort:
that for every action there is a reaction,
there is a positive to counteract the world's negatives,
that where hate resides, perhaps love may soon return."

Technical Difficulties
Time to pull out the snow machines. Seems Mother Nature is having some technical difficulty in producing proper weather for Vancouver's Olympic events. Apparently numerous events have been postponed for the time being.
P.S. I am rather undecided on this whole global warming thing, but I do want to draw attention to the fact that Fox News was attempting to mock the theory by taking a picture of An Inconvenient Truth in the east coast snow storm. So ummm, yeah...

What happens to memories we don’t remember, and to photos that we wanted to take? Where do broken hearts reside? Where do spoken words go to hide from the thoughts they once accompanied? Where do those fleeting thoughts go to lie and wait for the next epiphany?

According to Daily Mail, a 15 year old british girl has begin sleeping weeks at a time after she came down with the flu. I'm so jealous. Of the sleeping part, not the flu.
A Man's Dream
On Sept. 1, 1980, amputee Terry Fox was forced to stop his 5,000-mile run across Canada for cancer research after it was discovered that his bone cancer had spread to his lungs. He died 10 months later, but not before realizing his dream of raising one dollar for every person in Canada.
Fuck yeah! I'd run the distance of Canada for $33,000,000. Oh wait, HE GAVE IT AWAY?!
My Today:
Sat in one room for a total of 8(?) hours today. Doing nothing. I'm on the Mock Trial Retreat and we were running through the case. All parts EXCEPT the closing. (AKA all parts except mine.) Its alright though, there was good pizza.
Does Not Go To Prove The Truth Of The Matter Asserted.
A statement is hearsay only if it is offered in evidence to prove that the fact asserted is true. If it is offered for some otherrelevant purpose, it is not hearsay. It is the obligation of the respondent to convince the judge that there is a relevant purpose for the statement other than as proof of the fact asserted. Common examples are:
(a) Notice. In a slip-and-fall tort case, a witness testifies that the week before plaintiff's accident, Mary told the defendant that his parking lot was slippery. The primary relevance of the evidence is to show that the defendant had notice of the dangerous condition, not to prove that the lot was slippery a week before the accident.
(b) State of mind of listener. The defendant is charged with knowing use of stolen credit card. He testifies that a friend told him "This is my card and you may use it." The evidence is offered to prove the defendant's state of mind (lack of mens rea), not that the card really belonged to the friend.
(c) State of mind of the speaker. In a will contest, the administrator offers evidence that the decedent said "I hate my youngest son who has become a drug addict." The evidence is offered to show the state of mind of the decedent and explain why he cut the son out of his will, not to prove that the son is really a drug addict.
(d) The statement motivates conduct. In a tort case, the defendant testifies that he was speeding because he had gotten a telephone call from the hospital informing him that his son was in the emergency room. Note that accusatory statements made by witnesses to the police ("the defendant did it") offered to show why the police investigated the defendant are non-hearsay only if there is some genuine issue concerning why the police investigated him.
(e) The statement motivates another statement. In conversations between two people when we are interested in what one of them says, the statements by the other are not offered for their truth but to give meaning to the primary person's remarks. For example, in a police interrogation, when the Detective says "We know you drove the getaway car," it is not being offered to prove the defendant did the crime, but to explain why the defendant said "Yeah I was driving. What kind of deal can I get."

Priorities
You know that feeling that there is something more important that you should be doing?
Well I have a closing statement to announce, a pretty important science test on my first day back, alot of science homework (ALOT), makeup math + current math homework, oh yeah, and a spanish oral to study for. And what am I doing? Exploring Reddit, creeping Facebook, messing on Flickr, playing with my blog. I guess you know the feeling too. There's definitely something you should be doing right now, but instead, you're on my blog.

Life Just Is:
Life is a collection of moments,
flabbergasted to be in each other’s presence.
The mistake is to believe that because then happened,
now is not.
A continuum of actions and predestined reactions,
create the world in which we live.
The mistake is to believe that because these laws control our physical actions,
that our free will is therefore restricted.
Evolution has taken its path and has created,
but what we create with what has been given,
that is life.
To breathe, to maintain a steady pattern,
to continually maintain the equilibrium between mind and body:
one’s shell, and one’s soul.
To accept one’s world and life so completely,
the affirmation of one’s life,
so unqualified and reckless,
that it amounts to total denial of every restriction and limitation.
Do not allow yourself to be swept along,
we are all co-authors of this magical exuberance,
and, as the pattern becomes more intricate,
to join the ride is no longer sufficient.
The ride does not require explanation,
and occupancy isn’t the key:
Life is once more, and once again, and forever,
the key is simply to remain in a constant state of departure,
while always arriving.

I Want It!
Bir Tawil is one of the few places on earth that is not claimed by any country. Resting between Sudan and Egypt, neither country claims it. The UK had a peace keeping hold on the territory for a while, but little interest or governing power. I guess that means its up for the taking?
America's Cup
This year's America's Cup has been postponed and by regatta rules, the earliest it can be held is Friday. Tune in for some intense action between the defending champion Alinghi5 and the Challenger, BMW Oracle USA-17.
Just in case you're interested, my money's on USA-17. Then again, I am rather biased.

Keepin' it classy is a full time job. That's why Kitsuné has been hard at work preparing some good looks for us all to, well, at least emulate.
No Classes Tomorrow.
While it snowed in Philly, it rained in Portland. While some made snowmen, I did homework (kinda?). The snow is melting and while the east is headed back to school tomorrow, the gods have granted me a retreat to the beach. I still have homework I should be doing, and tests I should be studying for, but I'm not. I'm playing around on Vimeo and Flickr.
