This morning, I came to see Mrs. B. in House 1N. She’s like “It was your birthday yesterday. You didn’t even tell me.” We went to breakfast, and I met Jenna there. I got a bag of nachos, and I socialized with Jenna. For English today, we went to the planetarium, and we watched a show about Greek myths.
March 18, 1999 (Thursday)
In Science today, we went down the hall beyond where the Art and Tech Ed rooms are, but we didn’t go all the way down. Everyone’s like “Ohhhh.” We just went into the computer room and played some baseball game where you have to answer questions to hit the ball.
March 20, 1999 (Saturday)
Today, I went outside and raked leaves in the front yard. While I was raking, I thought about a new version of “Snowboard Kids 3.” It consists of all the levels from both Snowboard Kids 1 and 2. At first, I only planned to use Brian Ledger (5th), James Russell (5th), Craig Setzer (5th), Anna Mackenzie (5th), Steven Mandery (6th), Travis Kibbit (6th), John Phentavone (6th), Brittney Cohen (6th), Danny Lupfer (7th), David Shulmann (7th), Jamie Galan (7th), and Marissa Perodi (7th), but then I decided to use Mario, Kyle from South Park, a baby, a chicken, Pikachu, Nuts, Sydney Tealittle, a skeleton, Coach O’Neal, and Ganondorf.
Nuts was one of my toy animals that I kept in bed. It was a Beanie Baby, and that was its actual name. Sydney Tealittle... one of two figurines called Tetley Tealittles that at one time came with boxes of Tetley teabags, the other one being Gaffer Tealittle. Chosen because of the big nose (a characteristic he shares with the original Snowboard Kids). Coach O'Neal was my Phys Ed teacher at the time. And Ganondorf, as you would know if you're familiar with Zelda games, is the main villain of Ocarina of Time among other games.
Later, I was doing an assignment where I was supposed to pretend I was an exchange student. At first, I chose England, and I wrote about that. After I finished, though, Dad told me that the point of being an exchange student is to learn a language. I decided not to do it. A few minutes later, I came into the kitchen, and Mom yelled at me about it, and then I told her I’d rather live on Masem Court. I went into my room, and a few minutes later, Mom came in and asked me if I wanted a cookie. I said no. She’s like “I think you need to sweeten up.” Soon, I came back to the assignment, and I chose Spain. I wrote that I would join a bull fight, and Dad’s like “Eric Ledger is gonna fight de bull.” Mom’s like “At least he’s making an effort.
Even though Mom did emphasize the point of learning a language, Marie ironically did choose England as her country of choice when she was assigned this four years later.
Soon, Grandma came over. Mom was playing opera on the record player.
For dinner, we had soup. Marie kept asking Dad “What’s this thing?” each time she scooped some up. Mom’s like “Someday, she’s gonna go on a date, and she’s gonna ask her boyfriend ‘What’s this thing?’”
Tonight, we were watching some movie about some kids sneaking into someone’s house. I asked Brian why they were sneaking into his house.
“They think he killed someone,” he told me.
I didn't know what this movie was called, and I hadn't seen it since. However, I do believe that it was parodied on an episode of The Simpsons, where Bart spies on Ned, and various things lead him and Lisa to believe that he killed someone until all "evidence" is proven wrong.
While we were watching the movie, Marie had the timer set for Spring, but Mom turned it off. She asked her what the timer was for, and Marie started crying and told her.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Happy Spring,” Mom told Marie.
Back to the present.
As well as his Angry Video Game Nerd series, I also watch videos of another series by James Rolfe, called You Know What's Bullshit? Yesterday, he ranted about how people who run bagel stores put way too much butter or cream cheese on the bagels. Quite by coincidence, that's exactly what Vincent complains about whenever we go to the bagel restaurant near us. He asks for a "light" amount of butter, and still, they put more than enough to soak into the bread, and he has to get the excess stuff off with a napkin.
