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I originally made another stipulation with the person I bet with that any new page added to my website would count toward the everyday agreement, which is why I wrote two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.

Ik besloot vandaag dat ik ging blog in het Nederlands. Ik eigenlijk niet weet hoe om te spreken Ned­erlands, ik gooide een blok tekst in een vertaler. Ik ben alleen dit te doen omdat ik niets anders te blog over, en ik wil niet dat mijn een week rechte bloggen weddenschap verliezen hebben, omdat het filmen zelf te oefenen, terwijl het zingen niet erg aantrekkelijk lijkt voor mij. Ik vraag me af of er iemand gaat om dit weer in een vertaler, terug te vertalen in het Engels, en eigenlijk lezen.

I wasted about three hours of my life today playing a game called Blosics 2. The goal of the game is to shoot little balls from the orange spot on the playing field and knock off all the green blocks from the platforms that they’re on.

Eventually, you have to shoot multiple balls per level and take advantage of blockers, rubber, and ice panels to finish the level.

Some levels require precision aim and quick reflexes.

Once you finish all the levels and complete all the challenges (which I somehow managed to do), you unlock a god ball that creates a vortex around it.

You should try playing, it’s a pretty entertaining waste of time.
