"Hard work means prosperity; only a fool idles away his time"

what have i done over christmas break, you ask, that i've been unable to update my blog? mostly, sitting in front of this very computer, watching anime. I just finished Hikaru No Go tonight. Good series for Go fans. Not a great one in terms of animation, storyline, etc, but hey, I'll take what I can download. Plus, I've learned some Japanese phrases. makemashta - I resign arigato koisaimashta - thanks for the game baga - idiot Other than that, I've read a whopping ONE book. But what a book it was! "Foundation" by Isaac Asimov. This would make an awesome movie, if someone could condense it down into a reasonable length story. I've also played quite a lot of tennis. Phuc and I are brothers. We did speech together, tennis, table tennis, school stuff, and now more tennis at tri-state! Just call me, sibo nguyen. really, that's my name! I've played some Risk 2210. Fun at times, waste of time at times, both inspiring and heartbreaking. Oh, and as for the New Year, I guess I ought to make some resolutions...hm... - have fun in my new classes - not fall asleep in my new biology class (or any class!) - get a lil better at sketching, especially sketching girls - develop a healthy and legal appreciation of anime - be able to curl 50lbs easily by the end of the school year. hey! what are you laughing at? - be able to swim three widths of the pool in the SRSC breakstroke w/o stopping - enjoy a research lab, whatever it may be Stats for the break 7: hours playing Risk 75: episodes of Hikaru No Go I downloaded and watched 8: Naruto episodes I downloaded from bittorrent 78: Naruto episodes I downloaded after I found www.narutoflare.com and www.narutochaos.com 5.49: gigabytes free on my 60 GB harddrive 0: balls stolen from Tristate (aren't you proud!) 4: baskets of bread from Biaggi's that I ate for an "appetizer" 3: number of days I am still in Eville 4632: Penrod Ct, my mom's new place 4623: Penrod Ct, where I told ebay merchants to send me a notebook sleeve and DVD that I won. Arg. hey anyone who is reading this, let's do something on the east side.
