The school schedule will go back to normal on Monday - and just when we were all getting used to it. It really made me realize how much you can to in a day when you get out early. I haven't been taking advantage to my unscheduled fourth nearly as much as I should. On Monday I went to Auburn, on Tuesday I went skiing, etc....

I changed a bunch of things around on the first frames you see when visiting Bavetta.com - I'm not sure if it's going to stay, but it's cool for now.

Because of a large gas leak near the Middle school resulting in it's temporary closure, the middle schoolers will be comming to the high school to have classes for the next two weeks (at least - they say). This means minimum days for us high schoolers, which may or may not be a good thing. If we get so many half days that graduation gets pushed back - that's not a good thing! They say that the high school day ends at 12:05, and since I don't have a 4th period that means I'm out probably a little before 11:00 - Wow - for two weeks. Cool

From Cartalk.com RE: Practical Jokes:

Back in college, we used to live in these "suites," which were basically four corners of a building with rooms on the outer edge and a living area in the central part. The person who lived in the corner room was going away for the weekend, and the rest of us decided to play a joke on him. We went to the hardware store and bought some drywall, paint, electrical wire, etc. We then proceeded to plaster over the door to his room. We even went so far as to move the lighting fixture near his door to right on top of it. When all was said and done, his room had disappeared.
When he arrived back on Sunday night, we all pretended he didn't live there (to the best of our ability) and despite his confusion we kept up our end of the farce. We made him sleep on the couch in the living area that evening, then the next morning we broke through the wall and let him back into his room.




Called up my aunt and pretended to be form the phone company. Told her we would be cleaning out the phone lines that morning and if she didn't want to have dust blown all over her house she should cover her phone with a towel or something similar. A couple hours later I stopped by, and there was a nice clean towel neatly draped over her telephone. I didn't have the heart to tell her I had made the call.

I'm tired.

So, yesterday was the Truckee High talent show. I ended up being part of two acts: I sung 3 barbershop songs (Star Spangled Banner, Hello Mary Lou, and a parody of Connie Island Baby) with the usual crew of Dick Ben Alex and Owen, and played guitar in "Facundo Cries Freedom (The CFC's)" with Sam Joe Tony and Brian to the tune of some old 50's or 60's song "If You Wanna be Happy for the rest of Your Life." Our Barbershop group ended up getting thrid place Whoohoo! Pretty good - especially considering we practiced for a total of about a half an hour for the show (we already knew the songs). Andy played the accordian, which was totaly awesome, but he didn't win like we were expecting. I borrowed an MxPx CD from Katelyn, and it has some awesome stuff on it. I'm really getting into music again.

Howdy, I just bought a new CD, "Borders & Boundaries" by Less Than Jake - sure, I've heard their name, but I don't think I've listened to them before. I like it. It kinda sounds like the band Five Iron Frenzy ? with the horn section and all, but a little more distortion - In comparison, Less than Jake doesn?t talk about Bacon Bits and Jalapeños (less creative lyrics), and they don?t have religious songs. I usually like to avoid the topic of religion, so listening to religious music, that I don?t necessarily agree with anyway, doesn?t really work ? I don?t know. I?m kinda being pushed from a couple directions. For one, I like Five Iron Frenzy?s musical style a lot, but I feel like I shouldn?t really listen to them because I don?t really agree with the lyrics and it might give people an incorrect (not necessarily bad, but incorrect) impression of me. I?m hardly religious, and I think a person?s religion should be a subtle, personal thing; blasting religious music doesn?t really fit that profile. What I kind of have done in the past is separate their religious music from the not, and listen to one category while the other sits. I think I?m just being too self/image-conscious. Hmm, how did this topic come up, anyway. Oh well, this is probably the first serious b-log post, when I should be watching the Super Bowl. I think I might get a CD by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones next?

The Truckee High School unicycle Count is now at 7.

Well, I'm bummed. I was supposed to be the DJ for free to the Winter Ball in a week, but now they say that they are going to pay for some generic DJ instead. It would have been awesome, but now it's most likely going to suck.

We also tried to do the Reel Review today, but it fell apart after two hours of setup.
