Subject of the Week : christmas music

Yes jake if you havnt noticed i'v been changing the names of my reveiws since we started this blog...but it doesnt really mater cause we're really thr only people who read it. But i think i'm gunna stop numbering them, and just call them "subject of the week : blank blank".
This week I've chosen Christmas music because its already on the fudging radio stations. And it's not just in PA ether, I ask a couple Wow guildys and its all over the place. I have no problem with christmas music, i love it but i think that its still a little too early for it. Its before thanksgiving for god sac...Has christmas become that much of a comercial that we have to start advertising it right after halloween (im not sure if i spelled that right)? I think that Christmas music should be played at least at the begining of december. It would accually make more sence if they started like 10-15 days before the 25th.
Second of all were is the thanksgiving music? No artist came up with a song that describes, a day were every american has the right to gain a dozen pounds and its publically acceptable?

Subject 4: Bad Teachers

Like most people in the world of the educational world i have some good teachers and some bad. But for some reason everyone remembers the bad ones the most. My bad teacher is unfortunatly the class that is the most important to me, and the one class that i really want to learn in. In fact i am writeing this because i simple have no clue what to do for the rest of the day. Right this very minute she is playing scrabble on her computer in the back of the room. We were given 2 things to work on this week...2 programming assignments...i have no clue how to do this one part but when i go up and ask her...well she ignores me for a minute expecting me to get some kind of ADD and go back to my seat and be quiet for the rest of the day. I am accually very lucky in some sences i dont work on school work most of the day and just sit around and play falling sand on igoogle. But when it does come to she has to give us some work we are all pretty much unprepared because she doesnt get up in front of class and accually TEACH! In a teacher i expect a teacher that will walk around the room for a while and ask if anyone needs any help. I am very tired of this and would like to know if anyone else has the same problem. So if you have any Teachers that don't teach or are just bad at teaching, make a difference. and confront them and tell them to fudge off and go home cause your wasteing my learning time!

subject: 3...i think 3

I havn't posted anything this week cause well...i forgot to. so now i remembered todays subject will be...latest video games i want. First on the list in my book is Wrath of the Lich King which is coming out november 13. Unfortunatly i am an idiot and let my mother order it for me and now i have to wait till like 10 days after its release to play it /cry! But it is the Collectors edition so its kind of worth it. Second on my list of games i won't get till after everyone else plays it is Fable 2. I've seen a few reviews and videos about it on youtube a escapistmagazine.com and it looks very kool and a serious upgrade to the original fable for the x-box. Third on my list which is for x-box 360 (fable is as well) is Dead Space. This game looks very very kool, its a space horor which isn't even described as a first person shooter, so its more like an adventure game. Forth on my list which i just recently found out about is The Sims 3. I've seen a few of the trailors and backstage things about it and it looks very very very kool. In this new sims video game it has a major graphics boost for sims 2. one of its new features is the free roaming capability. which means now u wont be stuck at the one house, now u will be in the entire town, able to zoom in on each house to edite it. another very kool things that might just make me excited is the ability to make ur people fat! Unlike the recent games that when u make ur character fat its just their stomach that gets a little more round, But in this new one they entire body structure will change like a real fat person! After seeing this it makes me really excited for this game! :D so thats about it for this week's subject i hope that the little info i have has informed you of some of the latest videogames.


PS: if anyone see's this before the end of school i will be puting in links and probably pictures and maybe even videos. but first ill have to ask jake how to do that!

I Am A Super Genius!

Why you ask? How you ask? Since when you ask? Well, yesterday I had a problem with my computer. Instead of powering on the little light just blinked "amber"...i gotta say i freaked out! I ran down stair yellin for my mom to help me. The main reason for my freak outingness was that if you regularly read the blog A game i extremely want is comeing in a few days and I don't think i could handle sending my computer to microsoft and waiting for it. Whilst my game sits there motionless on my desk while I stare blankly at it for hours on end. Well after my mom told me she will "look at it" later, i figured she wouldnt get to it. I rapidly looked around my room for the owners manual. Well i finally found it and sifted through the pages till I found what surtain lights mean. As it turns out a blinking "amber" light means my computer is getting electric but an internal power cord is malfunctioning. I didn't get to check it out till today and i cracked it opened jiggled the wires for like an hour,blow some caned air into it,and cleaned off most of the stuff.After that by some gracious gift from god I press the on button and it worked. Then i logged on went to firefox and started this update. I'm just so happy that i fixed it some how!:D
