Updates

Harlow finally updating since I'm sure all of you miss me. You know, you reader things are weird. Whether I update or not I hardly get any comments so it seems like no one is reading. That doesn't help motivate me you know?

On a lighter note, I got a yoyo. It has a nylon bearing that is supposed to allow it to sleep longer. However, when first practicing my tricks I tangled up my string incessantly, and had to keep using my hands to manually untangle it from the bearing. I rubbed off a lot of the lubricant in the process and decided to use some oil to substitute. Now the bearing is too slippery so I can hardly throw a proper sleeper. Someone give me $25 so I can go buy a new yoyo..?

Nothing much has happened for the past few weeks. It's just boring, boring....boring. I haven't watched any Scrubs in a while since all the links I can find are to videos from Megavideo which has a dickheaded max viewing limit so you can only watch a certain number of minutes of videos each day. That's not the annoying thing. The annoying thing is that it keeps mistaking my IP for other people, which causes me to be unable to even watch a few minutes each day, since other people have used up the time. Which just sucks. Maybe I'll just use my bro's registered account to watch.

Regarding my yoyo, I'm rather happy with the progress I've made. In 3 days, I've remastered the basics:
Sleeper
Forward Pass
Walk the Dog
Rock the Baby,

as well as mastered a few extra moves:
Around the World
Around the Corner
Breakaway
Trapeze

and almost mastered Loop the Loop.

Unfortunately due to the aforementioned bearing problem I've been unable to perfect the Trapeze...so......argh...

It's that time of year again, kids!

It's 3rd August again, and I've passed another year without any severe mental or physical trauma whatsoever. I've never understood why a birthday has to be special. Of course it marks the exact day when you pass another year, but since we're growing constantly, why do we only put aside one day for celebration? I don't have any problems against this celebration, just commenting. It's great that a day comes where you receive presents and stuff for no particular reason.

I don't feel any different, except for the amazing muscle ache and a general stiffness that has developed over the past few hours from a very interesting game of basketball. Anyhoo. This was the gloomiest birthdays I've had so far, with the exception of last year, since that was the worst year of my life thus far. This birthday, as I mentioned to Francis, is like one of the "sad" episodes of Scrubs. Like someone dies or something really serious happens. Everyone is happy in the end, at least a little, but there's this dark, gloomy atmosphere in the air.

Seeing as how I've just mentioned today wasn't VERY special to me, I don't think it's fair to dedicate a whole post to it. So. Talking about Scrubs, I think it's an awesome sitcom and it's just sad that Zach Braff couldn't come back for season 9. I like how they take a usually morbid setting (a hospital) and turn it into a comedy. It's not very often that someone can joke about death on tv. Ok well it is, but it's not often you get a guy who looks dorky enough who's able to make it funny. Not to mention that the constant stream of hot............................................................................................................. attractive women every few episodes makes it that much more interesting.

I don't really have anything much to say. Erm thanks for the birthday wishes and presents, and stuff, generally being what can be considered nice today.

P.S. I know the time of posting says 12:00am, it's actually 10:49pm but you know, since we're gonna go with the whole birthday is special thing let's make it really special right?
