It’s already been two days since my spring break started, and I feel as if I haven’t spent the time very well. The only thing I can really say I accomplished is that I almost finished rewriting the backend of my website so my blog and other pages retrieve information more efficiently. Other than that, I’ve been sit­ting around, eating, going on Twitter and MyFace (or Facebook, whatever it’s called), and playing Poké­mon Heart Gold on a DS emulator on my computer. I know, my life is depressing.

In other news, I found out today that Google has been placing an unusually high number of foreign-language advertisements on my website. For example, I’m looking at one right now that says "imprimir calendario: Buscas imprimir calendario? Consigue Mejores Resultados con ASK" and links to a search page on Ask.com.

And I think I just made it worse by quoting that advertisement, because now Google’s going to detect more Spanish words on my blog and put more Spanish advertisements on my website.

Hopefully the rest of my spring break will be more eventful than this.

Woo.

Five Minutes in My Head by Adam Parkzer - Wednesday, March 24, 2010

Hint: Check out the blog post I made on November 5, 2009.

In other news, I’ve been trying for the past five or so hours to upload my AP Spanish video project to Youtube. I’ve attempted the upload about twelve times (literally). Sometimes it fails when the estimated time remaining is one minute, and other times it doesn’t even start uploading. A few hours ago it finally uploaded, but it’s still processing. I tried converting the video to an .AVI file and it’s still not working.

Nobody will ever know how frustrated I am right now with Youtube.

I had near-perfect weather for about a week. A light jacket was enough to go for a stroll outside. I was able to put away my long winter duck-down coat into the back of my closet.

Then two nights ago, it snowed again.

Today’s DailyShoot assignment had to do with showing what spring was like, so I decided to include it in today’s blog post to try to portray how annoyed I am about the weather.

 

Daily Shoot #126

"Sunday challenge: It’s a new season (Spring up north, Fall down south). Make a photograph that illus­trates the change."

My response: It’s a little difficult showing that it’s spring if there’s still snow on the ground.

I’m assuming they’re are some of those MSN bots that advertise dating sites, but if they’re not, then that’s creepy.

So most of you are probably assuming that I already lost my bet less than a week into it. Unfortunately (and fortunately for me), you are all wrong.

I originally made another stipulation with the person I bet with that any new page added to my website would count toward the everyday agreement, which is why I wrote two critical analysis articles on a different area of my website, one on the sixth and one on the seventh of this month.

Yesterday, I realized that I just don’t have the time to think of something to blog about everyday. An­other agreement was made, and we postponed this entire bet to June when I’ll be out of high school and have nothing extremely high-priority to do.

I guess you’ll have to wait another three months to see if I’ll have to end up publicly humiliating myself.
