It's all about the plot, all about the story, all about doing something other than homework.

Start of Sailing Season
Wish me luck,
I'm back on the water,
its wet, windy and wild but its wonderful,
just wonderful to be back on the water.

Class Notes
The luminosity of the sun established a "general association of nations" que piensan that I may cease to be the tangent of 64.
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.

AC Results
On February 14th, Team Oracle BMW, USA-17 beat out the reigning champions, Alinghi, and brought the Cup home. Victory for America!
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."

Fashion Scouts
Apparently, Boy Scouts are fashionable now.
Quenchcloud's 2010 Spring/Summer collection, "Follow Me, Boy" is based on the BSA, all the way down to the fleur-de-lis on the hat.
Scratch Lower Post
Valentine's Day sucks. It should be renamed 'Single Awareness Day'.
Everyone looks so cute holding hands and leaning on shoulders. And then there's me.
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...
