Today was
homecoming, where lots of
students battle each other to sell
food to lots of people, everyone always runs out of
soda, you can shop 'til you drop at the
garage sale (called a "
shoppe"), and you might also see some
football. I came late, I didn't care. All I did was eat. I didn't try to scale the
climbing wall or go on the
moonbounce, and I wasn't paying attention to the game at all, I missed
half-time, which was probably
really lame anyway.
Al Gore was there.
Sigh. His son is the starting center on the football team, so
Gore comes by for a lot of the games. (When he's not
busy running the Internet (No,
I'm never going to let that die! (No matter what! (Ooo!
nested sidenotes!) ) ) ) Kids were going up to him and getting
autographs. I didn't really want to look at him, but
my mother decided to go up to him. (She had just recently decided to vote for
Nader, too) So, we now have a
signed copy of one of the
school newspapers (The
comedic one, not the
really lame one) with
Al Gore's signature within the title of the paper. (I just realized that there is a box at the top right of the page, above the title, where it has a quote from
George Bush saying something about how the "
undecideds", like those in an
election, could certainly "
go either way." I'll look that up, because I think there's a
node with
Bush quotes somewhere around here.) The
top headline is
a really bad pun about the school's
dress code (which is
really lame).
Whee! Did I mention that I saw a
secret service man walking around with
something stuck to his heel? It's good to know that these
agents don't let themselves be
distracted by things like that. Or maybe it's bad that he wasn't very
observant at all.
I don't know...I got a
hamster wheel at the "shoppe";
I don't own a hamster, and I don't plan to.
My
Rubik's cube is getting really faded. I hear they make ones that use
plastic tiles for the colors, so that there are no
stickers to rub off. Anyone know where I can find one?
Ok, now I'm back.
I had to stop noding to go
investigate our kitchen. We think a
racoon was eating the cat food just now. My sister saw something large that ran out the
cat door when she came in. It might've been a cat, but the only one
not accounted for (
Perl) is
really small, and
why would she run away?
What an odd night.
