Anarchy! According to Mr. Swanson, anarchy is quite close to happening. Apparently a bunch of countries have enough EMP to knock out the whole country's electricity and fry all the computers. This would probably lead to anarchy considering almost everything is recorded or even controlled by electric systems. All the refrigerated food would go bad. No one would have electricity for anything even if they had a generator. Actually, I guess that depends on if the EMP was continuous or only for a little bit like it usually is. This probably isn't really a good way to start an anarchy now that I think about it, so I'll write about what would happen after anarchy has arrived.

Unless the anarchy's method of arrival was to kill most the world's people, people would probably be killed by others searching for food and water. Unless everyone was already dead, probably most people would be killed by others. I've always liked thinking about what anarchy would be like. I think the electricity would run out pretty quickly, and it's always funny how in video games and movies about the end of the world, places almost always somehow still have power. The only situation I can think of where we'd still have power for a while, is if most the people died suddenly. Electricity would no longer be being used by most households, and it would focus on the live people using it.

TIRE! Population: Tire! Ah, more Homestar Runner references. I recently began watching those again, and I had almost 30 new ones to watch! They update every Monday and I hadn't checked it for around a year. Although recently they were working on a game for the Wii so they didn't have as many updates. The game was called Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, or SBCG4AP! It was a point-and-click adventure game coded by the company that made Sam and Max and written by the Brothers Chaps, the creators of Homestar Runner. I on;y played the first two installments, but they were pretty fun. I think I might buy the other three.

Variety Show! a lot of people thought it went too long, and they were probably right. It went about 2 and a half hours. That was mostly because of transitions and poorly placed costume changes. We also didn't even write the sketches until a week before the performance, and there was much confusion. Other than that, though, it was really good. Everybody performed well and the audience generally liked it. It was fun being in the Airheads and playing my piano song. '

Other thing! Um... Stuff. Did you know that in Japan you can buy little girl's used underwear in vending machines off the street? Plus, high schools run auctions where the girls auction off their underwear and the proceeds go to the school. Japan is a pretty perverted place.

Something else to write about! The world will definitely end with an all-out war between the ninja-zombies riding dinosaurs and the robot-pirates. Their fierce battle will almost certainly end with the extinction of the human race and all animals and plants. Eventually there will be only one left standing, but will it be zombie, or robot? "Neither," says this well-informed individual, "It shall be the all-powerful, omniscient, Mr. Rogers!"

CRAZINESS! My half-brother flew in from Virginia yesterday! He's pretty cool. We talked about ROMs and things. Apparently there's a way to get a certain card thing that you can use in a Nintendo DS that you can download games, movies, music, all sorts of stuff. Then you can watch those and everything on the DS whenever you want. It's completely illegal, but Danny, my brother, made a good argument: if someone already made this technology and it's so much better than the DS is now, why not let him license it so they can actually make money off of it? Anyways, My mom is being hypersensitive about things recently. My dad and her heard a radio report on NPR or something about how letting kids play video games where you kill people has a psychological effect on them equivalent to "physically abusing them". This, of course, is utterly ridiculous. If it was true 80% of the boys and probably 30-40% of the girls in America would be psychologically wounded, or have aggression problems. My mom got all overprotective after she heard it though, and now she wants me to get rid of all my games where you kill ANYTHING, EVER. I think various sources including my dad and Danny have managed to mostly talk her out of it, but she's still acting overprotective and whatnot. It's partially my fault for being lazy and letting my grades slip down during the start of the quarter, but I had a talk with Mr. Mac and I would've fixed that on my own.

This is the amazing secret! The answer to the Ultimate Question! The Ultimate Question to Life, the Universe, and EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

42.

That's right, 42. Ah, Douglas Adams. He, sadly, is dead. In other news, another secret I figured out in Mac's class today: He played a game with us where he would have one person sit at a desk with different items on it. He would then turn his back and the person sitting at the desk would pick up one of the items for 9 seconds. They would then put the item back down and would be able to mess with the remaining items order, position, stuff like that. Then he'd turn around and sniff each object, in turn. He would then guess which object the person picked up with 100% accuracy. I was utterly dumbfounded at first. Then when Tom Alatalo was moving the items, he did it very secretly, and Andrew White asked me which one he picked up. At first I thought he was just curious, but then he repeated back my answer even louder, which made me think he was just saying it loudly before Mac looked at anything. This was partially correct.

yo yo ma! No delete key today. Meh I wonder what wonderful typos ill make today. I think I'll write about ... some kinda robot. What kinda robot? SOME kinda robot. Ah, I do enjoy Homestar Runner. Maybe I'kk attempt to explaain the Homestar Runner univers.e. The sort of main character who's almpst become a not main... character is Homestar Runner. He was the basis for the site, but a secondary character name Strinng Bad (Strong Bad! Grah.) Has become almost more popular than Homestar. Homestar is a strange -looking albino thing with no arms and soleds taped to the bottom of his feet, even though he deons't wear shoes. He has a speech impediment wihch prevents him from saying his Rs, and sometime s his Ls. He is really stupid, but quite athletic. Strong Bad is the oldenst member of the Strong family, which inclueds him, D Stron g Sad, Strong Mad, and thier pet, Da Cheat (Yes the "Da" is a part of his name). Holy cow my definition in Urban Dictionary is bad . Way to o bad to put on here. no. But one of my definitions is something greater than Chuck Norris, which is cool. More Homestar! Strong Bad is a generally all-around mean person who always wears no t-shirt, a boxing mask, and boxing golves, and black pants. He answers e-mails with funny videos every monday. Da Cheat, is a small yellow with black spots rodent-looking thing. He helps Strong Bad with his capers. Strang Mad is a huge square mountain who can't talk worth anything and is extremely stupid. He is best friends with the Cheat.

Heavy Rain! Heavy Rain is an insanely awesome adventure/drama video game which my father described as "like watching a tv show without the commercials". I shall now attempt to describe the basic plot from the beginning, which will be extremely hard, as it really is as complicated as a tv show. A big selling point of the game was how the choices you make affect the ending. It starts out with a man who's name you don't know yet waking up in an extremely huge and awesome house. He gets up and looks at a note on the floor, which informs you that his name is Ethan and that his wife, Grace, went out to do some shopping for their son's birthday and will be back with the kids after lunch. Ethan takes a shower, gets dressed and goes downstairs. He then goes to work on a plan for a house, which, through inferring, should inform you that he is a successful architect. When he is finished, his wife and kids come home and he goes to play with the kids after helping his wife set the table. After you play with the kids, everyone comes in so they can eat before the older son, Jason's, friends show up for his party. When Ethan enters the kitchen, the younger son, Shaun, isn't there. Ethan goes upstairs and finds Shaun crying over his dead bird, and Ethan comforts him. It then cuts to a scene presumedly a few days later where the family is shopping in a mall with a lot of people. Grace and Shaun go inside a shoe store to buy Shaun some shoes, and Ethan and Jason go to buy a balloon from a clown near the escalators. While Ethan is paying, Jason wanders off and Grace comes back. Ethan goes after Jason and eventually finds him across a busy intersection. Jason starts running across the intersection while a car is coming. Ethan jumps in front of the car and grabs Jason, but Jason dies and Ethan gets knocked out and goes into a coma.
