We Are The Rebellion!

Hmp, people these days. Really, what is it with those mechanical pencils? I mean, SO overly-priced, as well as lead-eating. [Even Ralph doesn't eat that much lead.] Do you KNOW how long a regular pencil can write up to? Like, REALLY write up to? The mechanical ones are pretty, sure, but they are just so hassle-some. You need to use them for those super-important bubbling test thingies throughout the year anyways. Never do you hear the phrase "my pencil broke" when you're using a wooden pencil, and maybe that's because it's simple enough that it doesn't require any real maintenance on the inside. [That excludes the possibility of actually breaking a wooden pencil in the middle, that rarely happens and can be easily avoided if you are being careful.] On the other hand, mechanical pencils often break or get stuck, and take a long time to fix. I guess you can say that mechanical pencils are totally avoidable, at some point you just have to use them. Like when you want a sharp point but do not possess a pencil sharpener, or when you don't want the pencil lead to get all over the place while you are carrying it. However, wooden pencils have a deeper lead, and can turn out really great when doing sketches. The pencil lead just seems to be more soft, and has a better grip for a better picture. So, now is your chance! Buy those wooden pencils, and don't waste any more of your time buying so much lead!

How It's Made

I was watching How It's Made on Discovery Channel one day, and the WEIRDEST thing went on the show. [dun dun dun...*] They started to talk about how to make an ARTIFICIAL eye. Yep, thats right, artificial eye. So, the process was mostly creating the colors. The iris had to be manually DRAWN on the "eye", [ i missed the part in the beginning about what the actual white thing is] and then placed into the patient's eye socket place thingy. Well, the drawing part was kinda cool [i think it was acrylic paint..?]. But i really got freaked out when they inserted it into the patient's eye socket. It was.. creepy. They even have some sort of coating that gets buffed so it becomes all shiny and looks like its wet. O_o So, if you're ever missing an eye, just go to someplace where they make artificial eyes! Well of course, no offense to people who do have artificial eyes, i am in no way creeped out by that, just by the process of making the artificial eyes. I mean, How It's Made is always elaborating on these things... It gets cool once in a while, watching all those machines at work. So far my favorite episode was the one where they talked about how to make toilet paper. ^^ Did you know the paper pulp is first bleached? Well, the paper is actually recycled paper turned into pulp, then bleached for safety precautions, but of course the bleach is safe. [I have no idea how though.] So, then they press it into paper and make it dry, then roll it onto rolls and cut those rolls to manufacturing size. It's SO amazing how those robots are so efficent. Where do they find the space to put those things? Well anyways, im surprised i even remember that [it was a while ago]. My memory cells are tired, so off to Animal Crossing i go! [Grabs Ralph*] Ralph, you're coming too. :)

A Day in Events #2

So... here we are again. I think my day was pretty okay...

-I woke up pretty late. Yep, didnt get too much sleep the previous day...

-Had a cookie for breakfast. That and some good tasting milk. EXPIRED MILK IS IN THE PAST NOW! Im eating healthy. :)

-Did some math. I felt like i was saving the world from its evil rath... and it almost killed me. [sigh*]

-Started on a charcoal drawing... messed up quite a bit. I think i made some scratches in the paper or something.. ugh.

-Had to go to MT practice. Nervous about Tuesday!! Ate a granola bar that tasted like rat poop.

-Came back from practice and continued on my drawing.

-Tired to strangle my eraser, but then realized it was quite pointless since it was a putty eraser.

-Finished the drawing, then tried to strangle myself because it looked like rat poop.

-Went to dinner, and had jumbo shrimp. HA! Oxymoron. :)

-Ate lots of chocolate... especially TOBLERONE! Yea!

-Fretted over projects, but unfortunately made no progress. ><

-Chatted with Ralph, and came up with ideas for posts. We didnt really have any ideas for posts. But it was still fun chatting. :)
