This was fun and annoying at the same time

It's always good to try new things, so I'm taking Frank's suggested punishment. If I can find the means, I'll post a video blog like some of my favorite Youtubers. But I'm running out of ideas, so here's some nifty links for you all!

This is for Greg (MWhahaha).

I saw this, and immediately thought of Bill.

I think this one is for Frank: maybe it'll be an online version of his clix thingy.

Here's a little link I found- it made me think of Liz, for some reason.

I am a hero

I just want you all to know the awesomeness of me is even better. I am a hero in the eyes of the American public. I gave blood the other day, actually a double red donation. This donation is where the blood you give is given back minus the red blood cells. It takes a little longer and I have a longer time till I give again but it was cool to do. They pumped me full of saline solution as I gave which got me really cold. Let's put it this way, in 90 degree heat it took me over an hour to warm up. Anyway I'm here at the Al lens it is Jon's last night here before he goes to Texas so that's why I'm posting so late. So be a hero and serve or donate some blood.

Upping the Ante

For those who won't bother with the video:
1) Happy Birthday Anne.
2) While I like the hypertext punishment, I think this needs to be an actually challenge.
3) Thus, Anne needs to do a video blog (vblog) post similar to Brotherhood 2.0 style. My post is in that style, though much shorter. So at least 15 seconds! But more the merrier.

I believe the the ante has been raised.

Books

Hello. How is the family this week? I’m doing pretty well. I’m bird sitting my friend’s parrot for a few days so that is exciting. I also have this super amazing plan that I can’t tell anyone what it is yet. Someday though…

And the other side of things I’ve been concerned about what I’ve been reading lately. My taste in books seems to be not quite it used to be. The last book I bought was Gulliver’s Travels (which makes me think of Animal Farm). And maybe that book is good. But is it a good summer book? The other book I bought is a non-fiction novel about the Ebola virus. Good-job Liz. Pick a book out that has Stephen King saying it’s horrifying right on the back. At least I don’t read all those crappy teen novels anymore. Thank God I’m over that stage in my life. (The magazines are harder to not love though.) The solution to my problem is fairly simple. I could go ask Anne for advice or browse the bookcases downstairs. But I guess because it’s summer I want a flashy book*. Y’know a book that looks really cool on the outside and you feel good reading it regardless of the actual text inside. It’s the summer heat that makes me think this way. So let us break this down.

• Liz has been reading some not-so-great summer reading material
• She is over bad teen novels (but not magazines)
• She wants a flashy book
• She doesn’t want to spend any money

Looking over the bullets it hit me. What’s flashier than a really good looking book? A book you’ve written yourself of course! So I have decided to write a novel. Or a really long short story. Then I’ll make a really cool cover that’s a collage of hippy/emo avatars (see my desktop wallpaper). Brilliant. My only problem now is what to write about. But that is trivial matters, the most important part is I know exactly what the cover will look like. The stuff inside of it will come via epiphany. Of course suggestions are really great too. So..comments?

*A flashy book is (my definition) a book that has really cool cover or and the plot of the story is impressive. A flashy book is also a book that gives you street credits. Having one of those shiny medals on the front helps too.

Phrank: Starship Troopers and Katamari Damacy

Well, it's been a relatively uneventful week. Minus the severe thunderstorm warning and tornado warning yesterday. I played through Katamari Damacy again, it's still a lot of fun, and I opened up two of the eternal maps, it's always nice to roll around without a time limit.

I watched the entirety of Starship Troopers today, better movie than I remembered it being. Not quite as good as the Roughnecks tv show, but still pretty good. I always liked the premise, humanity fighting for survival against the bugs from outer space.

In other news, my D&D books shipped today, they should arrive on the 29th, which is pretty cool. Work is going well, still in training and all that.

I'm going back to school on August 24th, which is pretty exciting. Unfortunately the captain's retreat to start training is to go paintballing, and not going back to Six Flags. So I'll probably just skip it and figure out something better to do. Anne's birthday is this Saturday, congrats. Lisa's engagement tea party is this Sunday. I'm pretty tired, so I'm gonna wrap this up.
1. Anne's punishment should be to post with a hyperlink in each sentence, so a minimum of 5 links OR she can't veto the next challenge issued by someone other than Anne.
2. Greg, how am I supposed to play Phoenix Wright when you take the DS away? If you really want me to play it, then tell you it sucks, I need to at least borrow the game, if not the DS as well.

Apologies

I missed my post! I was just so tired from running around and work that I completely forgot. Anyways, think up a punishment, kids. And try to make it interesting!

Sorry to usurp your day, Frank. But at least this gives you a proper forum to discuss punishment. I think you all should be able to comment as much as you want, since this isn't a proper post.

Random Thoughts

Let's throw caution to the wind once again and not use spell check or proof read my post!

Awhile back I was writing about unicorns or rhinos, either way i was saying how they use their horn for stabbing. While a few of you thought this was wrong and immoral, it is also in the book "The Last Battle" by C.S. Lewis. So take that to the bank!

Jon is back home from Oklahoma before he goes to Texas and then Iraq. We went to Foxwoods on the first night then Providence on the second and Block Island early on the third day. I'm tired. In case you are wondering, I made money playing poker.

That is all for now I have to give Frank his computer back.
