I'm sick... [face_sad]

I started feeling sick the other day. I could feel it coming. And now it's hit me like a ton of bricks. Owie!
Sore throat and hoarse voice. :(
I've been gulping down drugs and stuff. Hope I feel better soon. I hate being sick. :(

Last Saturday I went to a LAN party. There were lots of other people there. Our team competed in different tournaments. We got into the finals on a couple of them and got second place and got first place in one of the games.
They had it at Action City, which is kind of an arcade place with go-karts and stuff. We got to ride go-karts all night, too. It was pretty fun.
I took a few pics with my phone:

Lots of people there.


The guy next to me had a huge monitor.


My computer.


I've bought quite a few books lately. I gotta get reading. Ugh. Or stop going into Borders. I got a Borders membership so I can get 40% off on some books.
My most recent books are:
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
The Shack by William Young
The Dangerous Days of Danial X by James Patterson

My new contacts came on Monday. I had my eye exam the end of June and ordered the contacts online, but never got them. So last week I went to the place to tell them and it turns out DHL lost the package, so I got free replacements with 2nd-day shipping. Woo.

I've been checking out the olympics quite a bit. Right now I'm watching some live Taekwondo matches. Pretty sweet stuff. So many records being broken! :O

Dad and I are building a new desk for my new room. It's looking pretty sweet. I'm gonna be staining it in the next couple of days. I'll post pics when it's done. Can't wait!

I saw Tropic Thunder last Sunday. That was a pretty funny movie!

Alright, the drugs are kicking in and I'm about to pass out. See you later!

Potential Plan B?

So the other day I was trying to come up with a Plan B. You know, in case acting falls though.
Well, it took me a while to think of something, but I think this may actually work.
I don't really want to do much with computers. I think I may just keep that as a hobby of mine and not make it into a career. That's not me, I need more adventure than that.
I was looking through some of my Japan pictures. Tomorrow is the 63rd anniversary of the Hiroshima Bombing. I really really wanted to be there. :( But I've been keeping an eye on plane ticket prices and they were $2000+ for round-trip. That's CRAZY! Grr. Stupid economy.
And then I was also noticing that I'm pretty good at writing and English in general. It took me a while to figure out that I could use this as Plan B, although I had considered it in the past (just an idea, not as Plan B).
Is the suspense built up enough? Or have you already guessed?
Alright, here it is. My Plan B if acting falls through, is to teach English in Japan.
Now before you all jump to conclusions like: "But you hardly even know Japanese!" or "But I'll never see you!" or my favorite "Where did you leave the can-opener?".
I've been reading up on it, and I'm not necessarily REQUIRED to speak Japanese fluently. Since I'd be teaching English, they prefer me to speak in English as much as possible! My Japanese teacher rarely spoke in English. It helps you learn a language better to be immersed in it as much as possible. And since I'd be living there, I'd be immersed in Japanese and it'll help to learn it better!
And yes, you'll see me a lot less. But hey, what can you do? Not much.
And the can opener is in the drawer on the right in the kitchen.

So yeah, that's Plan B. IF acting falls through. Now don't make me try to come up with a Plan C, cause B was tough to think of!

Anyway!

Right now I have my computer torn apart. I haven't cleaned it out in a while, so I gotta do that. I like when it looks nice. I have parts scattered across a table in my room. Woo. Can't wait until it's done!

Dad is repainting the rooms here. He just got done with Brady's room and he's going to be deep cleaning the carpets and then I'm going to move into his room. It'd be a nice change from living in my current room for the past 4 years. We're also gonna fix up my desk so it's a bit bigger. Woo, can't wait! It might be a little weird, though. But it'll be fine.
Today I'm going to go find a book case to match my dresser/desk. I need one cause I have a lot of books that are just pretty much stacked wherever. Closet shelves, window sill, etc. There's a good, build-it yourself one at Walmart for $27. I think it's just right!


On the 15th and 16th, there's going to be a LAN party in Eau Claire that the boys and I are going to attend and kick all sorts of butt! Because we rock! And we're doing it in honor of our fallen comrade.

Alright, well I'm going to bed. G'night!

Here's a cute picture before I go!
