The Sun is a Mass of Incandescant Gas
Basically, today was really weird.
I slept too long and missed family, boohoo. Then I sat in the library and watched my fellow seniors present their Social Action Plan speeches. Afterwards, I worked a bit, and then left with Oliver and Colin for lunch at La Casa.
I got back to school, went to family, and busted my ass trying to do a somersault while hanging in the doorway. My feet caught the edge of it and I lost my grip and fell flat on my ass. It was pretty funny. Afterwards I listened to some ABBA with Jennatron and then went to the media lab and got my video clips. I spent the rest of the schoolday avoiding work in the media lab, watching hilarious clips of Quest Knightly News and waiting for Wednesday Class.
During Wednesday Class, I built Kalee and my powerpoints. Oliver built his as well, and then I put them all together. It's funny how long we procrastinated on that damn project. We present tomorrow, and we didn't actually start the powerpoints until the day before. Wednesday class was so damn boring, though. You weren't allowed to talk to anybody. Snore.
I got home at like 6:30 and went to sleep until about 8:30. I worked on my comic strip while listening to the music from Pete & Pete. The music is really good, very soothing, and rather enjoyable. It really just puts a smile on your face to hear the songs and be able to recall memorable moments from the show. It has the song that Little Pete spent one whole episode trying to find after he heard it, and when I hear the song I can almost hear little Pete singing along to it like he did at the end of the episode.
Then I watched Futurama. I am just in so much disbelief that FOX cancelled that show. Everything about Futurama is significantly better than The Simpsons. The characters, the stories, the beautiful animation, the jokes, the writing, all much higher caliber than that of The Simpsons or Family Guy. When was the last time a Simpsons episode made you want to cry because of how sad the story ended? I have seen four or five Futurama episodes that almost had me in tears by the end of the story. I think the episode I saw today was the saddest. It was the episode in which archeologists find the pizza parlor that Fry worked at, and along with it they found his old dog, completely fossilized. When he brings it back home, Prof. Farnsworth tells him that he can clone the dog (whose name is Seymour) and even restore its memory. The episode goes back and forth between Fry getting ready for his dog to be cloned and the story of how Seymour and Fry met. Fry saved him from starvation by bringing him back to the pizza parlor, and they become best friends. Fry eventually gets cryogenically frozen, and Seymour goes on the search for him. At the end of the episode, they start the cloning process, and find out the age of Seymour when he died. Fry finds out that he was fifteen and died of old age, meaning that he had plenty of time to forget about Fry and go on with his life. Fry reluctantly decides against cloning Seymour, saying that Seymour would never remember him. It then flashes back to the year 2000 with seymour waiting outside the pizza parlor patiently for Fry to come back. The scene progresses by showing Seymour waiting for Fry in the heat of summer and the cold winter snow, just waiting patiently for his best friend to return. Finally, after many years of waiting, Seymour lays down, closes his eyes, and dies.
Whew boy here comes the waterworks. Even though I always feel stupid afterwards, it feels good to just cry sometimes. Boy I haven't cried over anything in a long time. That was one very very good episode.
Man, I am such a girl.
