Radioactive Rabbit

There, the title says it all.

I always mean to write about things that happen to me or ideas I have, but when I get to my computer I get distracted or lose my inspiration or something like that. I really have been meaning to post a bunch of stuff, but I just never get around to it.

Anyway, this is just a brief update on my life. So far this summer I've mainly been working and skating. My job is going quite well. I just got a new Canon ZR200 camcorder, which I've been using for skate filming. Hopefully I'll figure out how to edit the video so I can upload some clips.

Also, I'm working on a program for my school which will help the Computer Services department keep track of any hardware of software issues that come up. Most of the backend is complete, so I'm mainly working on the UI. I plan to release the code when I get it finished, so check back soon.

Tomorrow I'm going to NYC for the day for Get On The Bus. This is my first time going, and it looks like there'll be good weather, so it should be a fun and hopefully productive day. There are seven of us (plus one or two chaperones) going from the school's Amnesty International group. We'll be leaving from the school at 5:15 in the morning (ugh…).

Anyway, if you're wondering why I'm not in school tomorrow, that's why.

I love skateboarding. It is incredibly fun and challenging, and I enjoy it more than anything else. I've been skating for over six years now and it hasn't gotten boring at all. Less than a year ago I landed my first kickflip, and a few days ago I landed my first 360 flip.

Anyway, for those of you who don't know, Millis now has its own skateshop. It's part of Congo Creations, a gift shop. They have the best selection of decks anywhere (nearly a hundred right now), and the owners are really nice people who care about skateboarding, so, if you skate, go support the shop, and if you don't skate, go get a board and learn!

I finally cut my hair. And now my head is cold.

My hair is the shortest it's been in nearly two years.

Also, today was my first day of work. All I did was go through some training tutorials. It was quite boring. I'm not scheduled to work next week, so I'll probably forget everything by next time. Oh well.

I need to find a way to grow my hair back…

Just to let you know, I am now a proud employee of McDonald's! I'm supposed to start the week after next. Soon I'll be able to get all that stuff I desperately need, like a new skate deck, new drum heads (or maybe a new set? electronic?), more memory, etc…
