Alright, so I've been posting irregularly over the past few days... or going online at all for that matter... But, I'm here now.

First off, happy be-lated Mardi Gras everyone! I was heading over to the Orleans or Rio casino to celebrate afterschool, but all my friends who were going cancelled so I had to be content just watching it on the Travel channel... I can't wait till I can actually go down to N'awlins to see the festivities... either that or high-tail over to San Fransisco, but New Orleans holds a more preferable spot... that and they don't care how the hell old you are that day.

Second, I'm in the process of rewriting these pages so that the images will actually work. I've drawn a few more pictures I want to put up, but I'll save those for next time's updates.

Also in the subject of computers... Transfering highschool credits across state school districts is rather messy. When I recieved my transcript a few days ago, I noticed that the credits I earned for Algebra I in Arizona weren't carried forward, along with my Spanish I credit and computer half credit. Apparently, in order to input the info right, the middle school I moved to had to put the Algebra credit as a "summer course", and thus kinda disqualifying it as an honors class. So, the office has to call my old school back in Arizona to check with the roster that those classes were honors, even if the letter I presented to them clearly stated so. As for Spanish I... I'm not sure how that'll turn out. As for computers... apparently the class isn't applicable because I took it in 6th grade. The computers class I took in 8th grade doesn't seem to count at all since I didn't finish the class before I moved. What does this all mean? I have to waste a year's elective doing computers, a course which promises to be rather... boring. I'm already quite computer affluent (hell, I wouldn't be able to make this page if I wasn't) and I have the resume to back me up. I just wished that there was a test I could take to prove that I am very knowledgable in the field. Because, honestly, I seriously don't feel like taking a class where I could more or less sleep through and get an A... stupid slightly less-accomplished Nevada school system....

Currently listening to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer album. It's interesting how the songs on this cd remind me so much about the different characters. For instance, Hepburn's "I Quit" reminds me of Willow... although when one listens to the lyrics it doesn't really suit her... weird. But, regardless it's still my favorite song on the cd... that and "Close Your Eyes (Buffy/Angel's theme)."

While on the subject.... holy sh!t. I saw the episode of Buffy last time and (not to spoil anything) that was some serious stuff. Looking back on Buffy's earlier... campy episodes, I'm glad that it's come this far. The direction on that episode was superb, and it sent chills running down my spine every five minutes... And something so impacting can only become that powerful after years of careful character crafting. What I want to know is how they plan to top that episode next week.

Angel was... well, it felt like a spoonful of sugar ::ducks the umbrellas thrown at him:: to help the Buffy episode go down better. Ironic that, while Angel gets together with his "band" again (or rather, he works for them) Buffy's life is being torn apart. Which leads me to another question... why does Angel brood so often? Sure, it could be the whole repentence shtick but I believe that he feels that his happiness should be sacrificed to save the world. Afterall, when he experiences true happiness he loses his soul and becomes Angelus, right? It's all rather reminiscent of the main theme in Wild Arms 2 about a 'hero' being a 'sacrifice' for the world to shoulder it's burden on... I just hope that his revelations don't take away from his character.

Too much homework, and depression rears it's ugly head. You know, with a bit of spit shine, you could make the thing beautiful...
