"I think if I can hit the window pane running I'll make the jump to Pasadena. Then the bean patrol can't get to me ever!"

Don't ask why. Just "what the #$%$#?!"

Short synopsis of the past 24 hours:

Dad's addicted to the new DVD player. Watches CastAway and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon in an alternating fashion and loves watching CTHD in english with french subtitles (or vice versa).

I'm enjoying this new, slim scanner he got for the computer downstairs. First, it's SLIM! (+ #1) The other scanner in the parent's room was about the size of the harddrive. (let's not even get started with the one in my room...) The program that comes with it is so much better; selects the image automatically so you don't have to be too precise with the croping tool. (+ #2) But the most incredible thing about this scanner is that the pictures come out as dark as they are in real life! (+ #3)

Worked out for only an hour but managed to eat very little today and still burn around 300 calories. Sis is getting progressively jealous at the rate I'm going. (1 pound every three days) Grandma comes up to me after I come back inside the house and tells me "You being a good boy! You work out! Now take a shower, you stink!"

Played Monopoly where sis and I owned our respective sides of the board and constantly passed mucho dinero between the two of us. Unfortunetly she had Parkplace and I Boardwalk. Damn.

Currently planning to take advantage of the outside patio's lighting fixtures to paint late at night. Now I won't get paint on the carpet... much anyways.
