Last day of August, also my last day of summer. I had a dream that coincided with today. Read here. Today was mostly clean up, get my last loose ends tied up, do some pack up, and just enjoy the rest. Here's a funny thing. I went down to the bacement twice to get somethings from down there and throw the clothes in the dryer. Neither time did I do that. Then I went down to the bacement to throw the clothes in the dryer, and I did, but I didn't turn it on. Then I go down for the 4th time to turn it on. For dinner we went to our local really good pizza place, sillas. Had to enjoy some good pizza before I have nothing but bad pizza for a while. Later.

Today was great. I went to the water park on a free pass. I had fun there for about 3 hours. And guess who I ran into, darkenedoptomist. It was just a "hey a coincidence." We hung out for some time. Caught up on things since we haven't been able to hang out at all during the summer. After that, I thought I was going to be done, but guess what, zeldamaster93 asked me to help him out in finding a laptop for college. We went to best buy to test drive some models to see what he likes and what he doesn't. We found that he likes a 15 inch with a number pad like a normal key board. Now I'm watching the Romney speech. I don't care who you are, this man can give a speach. Romney 2012. Later.

Well today I went to lunch with my grandparents at Pizza Hut. Got me a P'zone. Thems good. We also went snack shoping. I use shoping loosly because it was more reasuring my grandparents that I have food in my room. They're alwayse afraid if I have food to eat. They kept pointing to things and saying "hey I think you need that" to which I would neerly almost replay "no I already got that." Lots of things I already had, like cheese its and sunflower seeds and chocolate. And then I reminded them of the cafe/convienence store that takes the dinning dollars. I think I got through to them. I converted tapes for my mom. Now I have just 1 left. Later.

Today was cool. I went to see the Expendables 2, what a manly movie. It was good. I also went to Loagan's Road House with my grandpa. It was fun. Later.

Today was interesting. My brother and I went to American Jewelry and Loan, the home of hard core pawn. Read here. After that, we tried to go see Ted. Tried is the key word, since I ended up getting bad mapquest directions to the theater, and I had no way of trying to aquire that info, and us just having fun getting lost. Oh well, still got a picture with Les. Later.

Today not much happened. I went to church with my family. I watched Media Malpractice on hulu. Dinner was awesome. We went to this new resaurant that does pizza and stuff. Here's what made it different, there were no waiters or hosts. You grab a little "reserved" sign and stake out your place. Instead of someone coming to take your order, you go up to an order place and say what kind of pizza you want, and they make it infront of you. Then you pay at a register right after the pizza was made. You get your drink and fill it at the drink fountain, like at a McDonalds. Once your Pizza cooks, they call out your name and you go get it yourself. This was some, then if you need a take out box, it's right next to the drink station. They bus your table. The atmosphere was great, but atmoshere doesn't make a restaurant, but then the pizza was amazing. It had that good burnt flour taste on the bottom, great crisp to the crust, when double peperoni is ordered, they put the first layer of peperoni under the cheese and the second layer on top of the cheese, right amount of sause to cheese to crust ratio, just amazing. Then the icing on the cake was when I ran into an old high school friend, the mascot of my senior year. He worked there and was on his break, so I had some time to talk with him. What was really interesting was that he now has a nice moustache. He said he was working on a curle, but it was to short. Good to see him again. Later.

Today was the first time my dad and I smelted and casted aluminum from scrap I was able to get off pop cans and other things. We have a small forge, crucible, some tools, char cole, and a desire to have fun melting pop cans. Since my brother went to this metal casting course, he was telling us all that we were doing wrong, and we're like, "so, it's fun."  I had probably a 5 gallon bucket full of scrap, and we melted down most of it. Now I have some cool looking blobs. Maybe I'll get around to putting them on myspace. My family engaged in our time honored tradition of watching Pooh's Grand Adventure before the begining of the school year. I humor my mom. And it's day 2 of the Hulu new lay out war. They started a discussion for us users to tell them what we don't like and how we would improve on it. This makes me happy since I started probably 3 discussions about different issues and engaged on maybe 6 others. It looks more like the netflix UI, which sucks. Netflix UI sucks, in almost every way, but the only reason people don't complain is because no comercials. I told them this, and I hope they listen, because the great UI was what kept it from being an inferior netflix copy cat. Glad they're listening, and hopefully will consider all the feedback, since the worst thing a major company can do is piss off their users, and with netflix being a good alternative, they'd better listen otherwise they'll go bankrupt. Later.
