I spent the entire day staring at Five Distinct Boxes, inevitably filling my eyes with both regret and redness. I woke up, my mom provided me a nice breakfast/lunch and I was on my way to my first box of the day – The Computer Screen box of my Desktop Computer. I played some YuGiOh, and when the game crashed and didn’t save my progress, I ultimately gave on it. The game was stupid anyway – the only way I was able to even beat the computer at the game was by entering cheat codes. -_-. I then began playing another game, which was much more fun, called Golden Sun (Game Boy Advanced). That kept me entertained for a decent amount of time, but also kept me glued to the computer screen all day. For shame. To be fair, I glanced back and forth from my the desktop computer to my second box, the Ipod Touch, which kept me glued to Words for Friends for a decent amount of the day. I then ate dinner, and Thiep came over about an hour later, as we awaited Earle’s arrival. When he finally got here (5 minutes later), we went to pick up Tiana, and headed to Stater Brothers to get snacks (we settled on fried chicken). and a movie. Subsequently I took a picture of the red “box”, the company that is definitely putting Blockbuster out of business. For good reason. Why in the world wouldn’t anyone rent a movie for merely a dollar a day (unless of course they wanted to pirate it online)? I <24 Redbox.
We headed to Tiana’s house, and all subsequently watched the movie “Megamind” on her huge TV box. It was a relatively okay movie, but Despicable me is definitely the better version of the same premise: super villain who turns good. As Earle took pictures of Tiana for his photo projects, I played two rounds of REAL LIFE Yu-Gi-Oh with Thiep. So I bet you’re wondering if my praticing on the computer of the game for the past few days helped. Guess what? It didn’t, as I lost both duels. -_-. Fail. I went home and stared at my final box of the night, my laptop, as I surfed the web the remainder of the night.
| Explosions and anti-aircraft fire thundered in the skies above Tripoli early Sunday, but it was not clear whether they resulted from another round of cruise missile attacks by allies determined to stop Moammar Gadhafi’s offensive against Libyan opposition forces. CNN’s Nic Robertson witnessed the development a few hours after nearly 1,000 people gathered at Gadhafi’s palace in the capital. The crowd chanted, waved flags and shot off fireworks in support of the government. A defiant Gadhafi said Libya will fight back against undeserved “naked aggression.” His military claimed nearly 50 people, including, women, children and clerics, were killed in Saturday evening’s attacks. There was no independent confirmation of that statement. American, French and British military forces, convinced that Gadhafi was not adhering to a United Nations-mandated cease-fire, hammered Libyan military positions with missiles and fighter jets in the first phase of an operation that will include enforcement of a no-fly zone. THIS IS SO STUPID. WHY THE HELL ARE WE ATTACKING OTHER NATIONS STILL!?!?!?! BARACK OBAMA, YOU PROMISED CHANGE, AND YOU LIED. |

On March 19th, 1918, The US Congress approves daylight-saving time. Germany started the use of DST in 1916 and other countries followed suit. Daylight saving time or British summer time is the practice of adjusting clocks forward one hour near the start of spring so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less, and adjusting them backwards in the Autumn by 1 hour. It is not used universally world wide but is common in Europe and North America. And that’s why we also lose an hour of studying on finals week. WAH. |
