New Year? Do they make tires?

Good blogginess, each and every one! Oh yeah, and happy new year, I guess. I've had a great Christmas break up to and including this point, and hopefully clear up to when school starts, which is when the break ends and I'm forced to stop having a great break.

For this new year I resolve to not have long posts, and to stop being hypocritical, unlike everyone else around here. Oh yeah, I also resolve to not resolve for new years day.

I've been hard at work on my pet programming project (well, not really. Let's just say I've been harder at work on the project than usual), and it is coming along quite nicely. Oh, it doesn't do anything, but that will change, once it does do something.

Seizing the opportunity for cheap labor, my dad has enlisted the services of yours truly to help put up siding and shingle the new garage. It's just as well anyway, because otherwise I'd get even more out of shape than I am already, and I get so speed time with my dad, and stay away from the Doritos. I sure wish I could build stuff. I once built a coffee table. It took me the whole semester of woodshoppe class (It was taught by a fancy foreign guy... Okay, not really, I just like adding unnecessary lettres to words. I think it adds a little flavor, or colour, if you will, to the whole blog experience) to do it. It's not like it is anything fancy either, and its made out of poplar. Poplar! What was I thinking?... Oh, yeah, it was cheap. Of course, my other project did much better: taking up smoking in the varnishing room.

That is all the interesting stuff I've done. I know it isn't as grande as Lestre's precious "Nipponfest 2004!" (and 2005, mostly 2004 though), where there is seizure inducing anime everywhere, and everything is all smiles and no worries, thanks to the nation's crack force of giant robotic monkey-stick comedians with magical powers Army, which are powered by rainbows, and the heat generated by the people playing Dance Dance Revolution. Seriously, though, I hope you're having a good time, Lester, and get well soon, or I'll kill you... Heheh, I'm just kidding you again, you know how much I love empty threats... And you'd better, or else you'd better start learning to play guitar without your thumbs. Oh, and Happy Birthday, 7 days from now. I think. I hope it is January 8th, because that is what I've been led to believe. As a cheap early gift, check out this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy. It is good stuff.

Also, could you get me those sticks that are dipped in chocolate? I don't want the kind that transforms into a monkey. And of course, I'll pay you back.

Also, DON'T confuse emperor Tenno Heika for a sumo wrestler. I did that once, and I barely escaped with my life. He sentenced me to 3 months in prison, or to be a game show contestant. I should have picked prison. I was even more embarrassed once I got my eye prescription renewed and I got a look at him again.

Now for the Masebergs: I agree with Lester, I'm also happy you liked your penguin. To graph imaginary numbers, you need to use a special polar graph. I have it in my algorithms book, I'll so it to you sometime (This function you wanted to perform has something to do with FFT, doesn't it? DOESN'T IT!!!?) As for Jessie, it was probably better that you forgot your present at Hays, I can't imagine the reaction it would have got with your parents. They're good folks, give them each a hug. AND DON'T BURN ANYMORE TABLES! Also, if you rearrange the letters in "sinus infection", you get "Unfit in cosines," and also "Sonic nite is fun," which means you should probably lay off the math for awhile, especially trig, and start playing more video games. Or does it mean you should do more math? In either case, get well soon. Make sure your brother gets out, and away from the computer every so often. Did you know that you blink less when looking at a computer monitor, which could result in eye fatigue, dry eyes, burning eyes, light sensitivity, and blurred vision (WebMD)? Prolonged exposure in front of the computer can also result in loss of girlfriend, hygiene, and death of social life (Some guy).

Beibs, enjoy Super Mario 64 DS, its a fun game, but it's multiplayer leaves a little to be desired, and as you may have noticed, it is a little harder to control than it's N64 presentation. I know one other guy in Agnew that has a DS, so we'll have to test these babies out.

Jon and Sam, I know you thought the present was a little weird, but you have no idea of the power you can have with it if used properly, kind of like that one Twilight Zone episode. But be sure to not abuse your power, or else.

Kari, you need to post more often and so does Alex. Remember that one thing you were going to post, the thing about the one time you visited a loved one in California over Christmas time, and you went to the big party in the newly constructed skyscraper, but everyone was held hostage by a group of terrorists with a diabolical plan to get a huge sum of money, but you defeated each and every one of them? It sounds so exciting, it should be a movie.

Well, that's all I've got to say, so I'll talk whenever later. Have a good rest of break!
