I say state myself, simply because drivers are different in each state, and driving laws may be different in some states. I know in my state the age is 16 1/2 for a license, but they've upped everything you have to do just to get a license now. More hours in driver's ed., more hours behind the wheel with parents, and now even your parents have to go to driving school.
Been kind of following this for most of the day, since they mentioned a tsunami might hit Hawaii as a result of this thing. Kind of scary how all of these are happening at once lately, what with Haiti back in January and now this.
I'm starting the Silverwing series right now. I've been meaning to read them for quite some time, and I finally got the trilogy the other day.
Seven Pounds Sweetmothermccreebatman that was a good movie.
Rosetta Stone is amazing, because you're not learning through repetition ike you would at a school but you're picking up context clues that helps you figure out what the word is supposed to be. That's how you learn your first language as a young child, which is why the program works so well. The downside is it is quite pricey: the languages usually come in 3 disc courses, and each disc is upwards of $200. If you've got the budget for it, go for it. I myself used 101 Languages of the World, something which is similar in principle but also had vocabulary sheets to take with you on the go. And it was only a mere $20 for, well, really almost 120 languages (there's an extra 19 in the vocab lists). I've also just picked up some books and dictionaries and just thumbed through them. It also helps that I have a German uncle who often forgets he's talking to me or my family and will go off on a tirade completely in German, and we'll all be like "Uh, John....let's try that again".
When I was your age, if our pencils broke, we walked 15 feet both ways to a grinding pencil sharpener and turned the crank to get a point back on the tip. We didn't have any of those newfangled "mechanical" pencils. You young whippersnappers don't know how good you have it. XD Sorry, couldn't resist.
*raises hand* I'd do it too. Sounds like fun.
Nice to see more merch being rolled out, but I don't think I'll be scrambling for this one. I like the design, but I don't think I'd wear it much to make it worth it.
Jaws. Classic. Funny story: my paremts and I were watching the movie, and I started going "Here, fishy fishy fishy" to myself while the guys were trying to wind in the rope with the barrels strung to it. I forgot that was when Jaws (aka Bruce, so I found out today) pops out and tries to bite their arms off. I thought that was good timing on my part.
The Princess Bride. Been meaning to see it, it was on HBO last night, so I watched it. Pretty good.
Heard about this, and I feel just awful. My thoughts are definitely with the family, who were probably really looking forward to seeing him competing this upcoming week and now have to deal with this loss. And it sounds like they still don't know what caused the crash.
2 looks like a rape face to me. I like 1 and 7, though.
Lala - Lebo M. The Lion King: Rhythm of the Pride Lands
Nice, three days after my birthday. Hopefully my board exams won't get in the way of me seeing this. I hope he pulls it off. I remember getting excited when I found the pictures for Katara and Sokka and how spot on the actors looked.
They usually do (like what I mentioned in my post). They just don't want to. Sometimes the threats really aren't, like the whole bomb threat in Boston after the Mooninites were placed all over the city as an ad campaign. The things looked like Lite Brites, but because of how they were placed many people thought they were bombs, which was probably not the creators' intent.
I want the Quantum shirt, I don't care if I'm a girl and it's a guy's shirt; I've already got a KHII logo shirt with the cast on it. I want that Kingdom key pin, though. I might have to go get it.
^ Uh....point!
In my experience, the last three times there was a bomb threat at my college, it was when midterm or final exams were just starting, so it lead many of us to believe somebody didn't want to take their exams (or didn't study).
That's when I graduate college and start corrupting young impressionable minds - er, I mean teaching.
I didn't get to see much of the Who show, but I stopped at the student store and they had it on in the cafeteria on the big screen. I got to at least see "Who Are You", and that was awesome.
