I allowed a couple of little ad thingies on my main page. I tried to make them as unobtrusive as possible. If you're feeling bored/interested/helpful, give them a click and I suppose I'll earn a little money. If not, feel free to ignore them. I won't hold it against you. If you are offended and want them gone, try the CustomizeGoogle Firefox extension from here.
In a less-than-subtle move toward re-conquering the world, the British Empire has begun infilitrating their groceries stores into American society. the Tesco's chain is opening several stores in California under the name of Fresh and Easy Markets, and they're promoting such wholly un-American ideals as "healthy food" and being "environmentally friendly." In fact, just the other day, on my way home from being in a Parade (More information later) I was stuck behind one of their hideously huge, lime-green trucks at a stop light, proclaiming in large letters to run on "bio-diesel," whatever that is. Surely it's a move toward overthrowing us, and bringing the new world home, Subjecting us back to British rule again as a colony.
There's a website too.

This weekend, Crystal and I went camping together. We spent two nights (Saturday and Sunday) at O'Neill Park, near Rancho Santa Margarita. It was very nice. On Sunday, we went for a drive to find Trabuco Canyon Nature Center, which I'd been told about by my mom. She said Leave the campground at turn left, and there'd be a sign and I'd turn right and be there.
We spent 2 hours and 30-40 miles looking for this place. Nobody had ever heard of it. Not the Sheriff's Department, not the Park Rangers, not the people at Irvine Lake (They tried to tell us which way to go actually, but we never found the road they said.)
I have reasonable doubts that the place doesn't exist. We were pursuing untamed avians.
Even so, it was a good trip. I'll update this post with a picture of our campsite when I unload the car and bring in my camera.
Update:
Wednesday, the 19th is official Talk Like a Pirate Day! As the name would suggest, this is a holiday about letting out your inner pirate. Do things you want to, don't worry about what people think, and, of course, use words like "Arr" and "Avast!"
And no, I'm not making it up myself! Anyone who hasn't heard of this wonderful national holiday has obviously been living under a rock. And I guess there are a lot of rocks out there... That or you're not a pirate fan. But that's no excuse!
For more information about Piratical events across the country, and about the day in general, check out the official website.
Hooray, Japan pics are here!
...well, not here, per se, but on the internet at least! I've uploaded some at my myspace page. This link should get you to the album. Enjoy!
Sunday, I'm going with my parents on a trip across the US and back, and we'll be gone about a month. This means I should be able to sort pictures and write new blog posts on mom's laptop in the car, and post them when internet is available. So, hopefully I'll have Japan things soon. Yay!
Of course, there will also be new things, because there's a new trip. Watch for it!
