Torchwood came in today!!!!!!

May not be important to you, but it sure as hell is to me. It's chock full of special features, I'm so excited, it's just insane. I'm possibly more happy than when the first season of Bones came and than was near full strength crazy.

Just had to pop in and gloat a bit more. Woohoooo!

I'm doing a project on a documentary for my English class, and I picked the movie What the Bleep Do We Know?!. Big mistake.

This so-called docu. is about how quantum physics can affect out perception of reality, or some such drivel. It's quite interesting if you have a ton a weed. However, my dealer ran out on me, so I had to watch this cold.

It's facts are just plain wrong, the interviewees have no idea what they are talking about, and the whole thing reeks of cultism. In fact, the most prominent talking head, all of which are not identified until the end credits, is Ramtha, a 35000 year old warrior-god channeled through JZ Knight, the woman being interviewed. The three directors (count 'em) are all purportedly members of the Ramtha School of Enlightenment as well, of which she is the leader. I looked up the website, and it's a bunch of horsesh*t. One of the reasons given for why Ramtha channels himself through JZ is that she was chosen for this work. I stratched my head at that circular answer.

The only good part was that Armin Shimerman, Principal Snyder from Buffy, showed up for about 2 seconds to spout a question at the main character while looking "The Message from Water" photos being presented in the subway. "If thoughts can do that to water, I wonder what our thoughts can do to us." That was his only line. He gets to repeat it 2 more times, just for emphasis later in the movie.

It's a stange mix of talking head interviewees, fictionalized story, and animation. It sounds like a plausible combo, but these guys really mishandled it. If they ahd checked their info more, it could possibly have been better, but it just comes out as a childish commercial for the Ramtha cult.

Watch it with a whole bag of salt.

I am right now "preparing" for the first of my two AP tests tomorrow morning, US History. I'm so not ready for it. I thought 400 years of history would be a piece of cake compared to World History last year, which covered about 5000 years. I managed a 3 on that, which is the minimum passing grade.

For those of you unfamiliar with AP tests, it's the test at the end of the AP class, which is basically college level work. It's a 1-5 grading scale, with a 3 passing. 75 questions in about 55 minutes, and 3 essays, one a DBQ, document based question in which you have to include at least half of the given documents to answer the question. In other words, it's really freakin' hard.

I don't know how I managed last year, cause I didn't even do two of the essays and wrote about the wrong stuff in the other. I just hope the same thing can happen this time. I so don't want to do this again in college.

My other is on Wednesday for English. I'm not worried about that at all. Even my teacher told me he had faith that I can get a 5, which actually might be possible. I want that desperately.

Only semi-bad thing is that I forgot to tell my 2nd period teacher that I am taking the test and will be gone tomorrow; I have a video project due, that she knows I don't even have the music for yet. Hopefully she will take pity on me.

And I also finished my driving lessons today. Just have to ride out the rest of the class in the room, then I get my license in August.

Oh and Torchwood should be arriving tomorrow too or the next day.

But now I'm a Church Lady! Yay for leveling up!

We also released our current possum a few hours ago. It was in the same place as last time, a ravine off the road, underneath an overpass. There were bones from a deer, including two legs and the skull, which still had fur on it. I got a picture of that. There was also the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, a rotted-looking fish husk. It was right behind the cage on the sand, but it took me a minute to notice. I had a mini-freak. Wouldn't go near it. There was also a huge white crane-looking bird that flew by. That was pretty.

I'm gonna miss this guy. I totally bonded with him. I would take him out of the cage and sit on the swing with me holding him on my shoulder. He's so sweet when he yawns.

Plus, I just ordered the first season of Torchwood from Target online. It was the cheapest I could find it. I can't wait for it to come.

Squeee!

AHHHHHH! I'm so exhausted/ happy.

I just finished my TAKS testing today. Wednesday was math, Thursday was science, and today was social studies. Now, I will never ever have to take it ever again. Unless I failed. Which I doubt. I'm that good.

I also just got back from bowling. It was a Bowlathon fundraiser for a teacher who has cancer. Today was the second week and not as many people were there. My physics teacher went last week....missed him.

I totally suck at bowling. My friend, Derek, pictured below, is on the varsity bowling team. Guess who got the highest score of the team? Guess who got the lowest.

Yeah.

And now I'm about to leave, in like 10-15 minutes to go see the Golden Girls, the high school dance team, perform their last show of the year. It's extra credit for my dance class. Only reason I'm really going, else I'd be here on the computer.

And this is about as busy as I get.

Night all.
