----------------------------------
I have a winner, and a new word.
----------------------------------
==== PLEASE READ NOW!!! ====
This is your last chance to enter the word game/contest this month. Hurry and enter, or Nate will automatically win with his less-than-hilarious definition.
======== THANK YOU ========
For better or for worse, the Age of Frequent Updates has ended.
Empire at War will come out February 16, not February 7. Unfortunately, that won't make much of a difference to me, as my computer doesn't meet the system requirements.
If you've got a good computer, download the demo. I have yet to hear a bad review.
I will be posting my nerdish Humorous Extemp topics as soon as they are finished. So far, I have 76 out of 100.
I probably won't be getting a new version of my site up, so everyone will have to be satisfied with this. On the other hand, I'm thinking about getting the password to my old site on the school server. If I do, this site will likely take a secondary role.
I hate PageBuilder, especially the lack of "copy and paste."
----------------------------------
In our quest to free the pickles, we must not fail to guard the corncobs against the vile chocolate cake we have feared so long. The noble grapes must stand, or our entire orange will have failed. May the tomatoes of joy and gladness ever smile upon your coleslaw, and may your strawberries be ever victorious.
----------------------------------
Beginning today, I will try to (ir)regularly post a semi-random Wikipedia article. Yay.
----------------------------------
Unfortunately, my site is too big. Pictures have been deleted on the picture page, so hopefully that will fix it. I'll have the updated site soon, I'm serous!
----------------------------------
I am bored. Prepare for pointless stuff.
----------------------------------
Um... entries, anybody?
I'm still waiting for a second definition...
Operation 5P4|\/||\/|4G3 started and ended a while ago, but I just thought I'd mention it. Nate is never going to ask people to send him random stuff again.
I'll try to get more pictures of random junk soon.
----------------------------------
Sorry for the lack of updates. As soon as semester tests are over, I hope to start regularly adding stuff again.
----------------------------------
A while back, I found a site that translates any web site into "Valley Girl." Try it on my political quotes. It's funny. (I'll warn you, the page is all pink, so maybe it isn't the best idea to do it in front of anyone prone to intentionally blind assumptions.)
Coming as soon as I finish it: The Water Cycle of Frustration.
----------------------------------
The improved site is coming soon, I promise...
Soon being relative. Expect a wait of at least a month or so.
I now have a link to the national debt clock.
The Huttese Numa project is finally started! I hope to have it done by the end of the month, and no later than the end of next month.
Speaking of which, so far I only have one entry for this month's word. Thank you, Nate.
----------------------------------
Someday, there will be a project I can finish.
I think.
----------------------------------
FINE! WHATEVER!
Because I have received no entries to the definition contest, even after the extension, I'll just be doing a new word: quiddity.
As soon as school starts up again, I intend to make some major changes to my site's format. (I won't be deleting this page, though.)
Numa + Nuna = who knows?
I've also decided to try translating and adapting the Numa Numa song into Huttese.
----------------------------------
SOMEBODY ENTER A DEFINITION!!! NOW!!!
I have started work on a Shakespearian play entitled The Tragedy of Three Royals.
----------------------------------
Since nobody entered a definition, the contest is hereby a monthly one. Hurry and enter before New Year's!
Due to boredom and a lack of ideas, I have decided to continue the Ant series. Josh has expressed interest, so who knows, I might get them filmed someday.
I now have a link to Adithya's site.
----------------------------------
The game is waiting for an entry still
Submit a definition and you will
Soon win the first round of my fun word game
Unless another person does the same.
----------------------------------
The game is ready, click if you will play
Define "aplomb," but in a different way
----------------------------------
This week, each of my updates will be made
In Shakespeare's form, the meter that he used
I will not use a rhyme scheme, though I could
My other pages will remain the same
The game is not yet ready, so I'll wait
'Til Tuesday to complete the new update
Have patience, all will come when it will come
Until then, there is nothing you can do
----------------------------------
Beginning on Monday, I will be doing a game on my site (other than the secret page contest). It will be somewhat similar to a cross between Balderdash, Apples to Apples, and something of my own making. I'll have more when the game gets started.
----------------------------------
Unfortunately, Project Sudan must go to join countless other projects in the Great Ideas I Can't Follow Up On graveyard. Instead, I will be working on Project Project, an effort to discover a cause I can push without offending people, learn everything I can about it, and then put it on my site.
So, for now, this will remain a pure-nerdish site, with no Great Ideas featured.
I will return my random stuff to the first page soon.
I have a new piece of boredom, but it may not show up. If I can't make it work soon on at least one computer, I'll be deleting it.
----------------------------------
Sorry, no more pictures when you first get to my site. I've decided to start work on something very serious- Project Sudan. The purpose of Project Sudan is to boost awareness of the genocide of the Arab Muslim government against Black Muslims and other minorities.
----------------------------------
I have a new picture. Yay.
----------------------------------
Due to lack of good ideas and the presence of a better idea, the Nerd Movie has been put on hold.
Nerds + camera + strobe lights = silent nerd movie. Yay!
I'll try to come up with a plot idea soon. I will guarantee the inclusion of the phrases "someone set up us the bomb," "all your base are belong to us," and "hello, greetings, it's me, an outlaw."
----------------------------------
I have a new Stupid Idea: Invention 14 techno remix. Yay.
Estoy muy aburrido.
----------------------------------
0-3! Woohooo!!!
Techno uberleet ownage!
----------------------------------
Hopefully, I'll have some new political quotes soon.
By the end of the day, I'll know exactly what it feels like to be own3d at Public Forum debate.
----------------------------------
Yay! Updates!
I have two new links: Nerd Paradise and Lego Numa Numa. Yay.
Seriously, I need help on the Nerd Movie. NOW!!! OR THERE WILL BE NO MOVIE!!! I AM BEING COMPLETELY SERIOUS!!!
Apparently, the link to Brandon's blog did survive, so just click on either of the underlined periods if you want to see it. I'm to lazy to fix the link or move it up here.
Apparently, the Video Game Pianist forums are no longer in existance. I think. Maybe.
If you have an idea for this site, please tell me.
Possibly coming soon or not so soon: puzzles and codes.
----------------------------------
Blah.
----------------------------------
I'm looking for suggestions on books to read over the Christmas break. So far, my list includes Brave New World, Lord of the Flies, and 1984. If you think I should read something else, tell me.
----------------------------------
Before the Knowledge Master Open, somebody discovered this amazing list of video game cliches. Enjoy.
----------------------------------
If I do not have any good ideas for my Nerd Movie soon, I'll have to give up on the idea and start writing something else. So please, get me ideas!
I had a stupid idea for a techno song today. Idea: "I'm bored."
Speaking of which, after doing a random Google search, I came across a list of "easter eggs" in various video games. I'll repeat several here.
Civilization III
If you play at night, advisors will say "sleep is for the weak!"
Advisors will sometimes say "Hail to the <insert type of ruler>, baby!"
On January 8, king units become Elvis.
Normally, when you have exhausted the list of city names, your cities are named New _______. However, if you play as the Turks, what should be "New Constantinople" is named "Not Istanbul."
The last two eggs are only in the expansion.
There were several for the Age of Empires series, but most of them were just cheat codes.
I'm bored today. So I think I'll play the prefix-suffix game with "bored."
bored
boring
unboring
nonunboring
antinonunboring
antinonunboringness
superantinonunboringness
prosuperantinonunboringness
quasiprosuperantinonunboringness
And, since I'm running out of room, I'll stop.
Coming soon (hopefully): the lyrics to "Because You Dumped Me."
It should also be noted that Carl has a (very) rough draft of his techno song "Have A Seizure," located in the Kiddie Keyboard anthology.
Maybe I should just have one link. Or not.
I'm still bored.
----------------------------------
It seems you must be 16 to post. Strange. I thought the minimum age was 13.
----------------------------------
The Video Game Pianist's web site now has forums!
However, the mods have decided that, to eliminate spamming, perfect grammar is required. You have been warned.
My user name is "The Nerd."
----------------------------------
Because it takes so long to make a page go from FrontPage to PageBuilder jibberish to PageBuilder, updates from my old site will take a while and, since I don't exactly have hours of free time on end, updates will be fairly rare.
----------------------------------
EUREKA!!!
I have finally figured out how to attach the stuff I had on my nonexistant web page to my working page! Lots of random stuff coming very soon!
----------------------------------
It's finally here!
My response to "How to Kill a Mockingbird," the best online video I've ever seen.
Fahrenheit 451: The awesomest book ever!
----------------------------------
Coming very, very soon: Fahrenheit 451 "book report."
I need more stuff to put here.
----------------------------------
"I have a bad feeling about this."
Forums.starwars.com is down. Brandon was talking about joining the forums. Brandon is a hacker.
I have implemented part of Ben's list, and I've updated the cast list.
----------------------------------
Ben will be giving me a list of possible character names, and I may or may not use them.
----------------------------------
Carl has given me a copy of the Nerdisms, so I'll be able to get back to work on the movie as soon as I know where to start (Jason, this is where you rescue me from writer's block).
Brandon, if you want a working link to your blog, e-mail me the address and I'll try to put it in without messing it up again.
----------------------------------
Brandon wanted me to make a link to his blog, so here it is.
I am not responsible for any objectionable content.
Well, the link broke, so I'll just add it later.
----------------------------------
The Huttese greeting is a bit contorted, but it's about the best I could do with 292 words.
I've been thinking about ideas for my site. This is very dangerous.
I may be including some computer game haiku or some iambic tetrameter about nerdishness, thanks to the English unit on poetry.
I seriously need ideas and scriptwriting help for the Nerd movie.
Until then, here's a very partial cast list.
Nate- Frederick
Ben- Norm
Jeff- Paul
Me- Matt
Brandon- Steve
Jason- Bill
Carl- Eric
Nolan- little kid's voice
Bob- Matt's little brother
Mrs. Hesler- Eric's mom
Names are still subject to change at any time. More minor roles will be added later.
So far, I've only written the intro scene. I won't be able to do much more unless I have good plot ideas based on real incidents and a list of the nerdisms to be inserted at convenient locations (although they might not be quoted exactly).
I'll also be putting my Fahrenheit 451 "book report" on here, as soon as I can figure out a good ending.
I now have a link to How to Kill a Mockingbird. Best online movie ever.
----------------------------------
I've got a picture of Carl, but I still don't have the Episode III Vader "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" yet. If you know where I can get it, tell me.
I'm also hoping to get a picture of Matt doing his Monkey Face, so that might be coming soon.
----------------------------------
I'm a nerd
But I can socialize
If I have to
I guess
I'm typing this in Debate, so it will be short.
It seems Matt's page has been deleted, but I will keep the link up anyway.
I have officially started work on a Nerd Documentary. This one will be based on true stories of the Nerds, as many as I can find. Carl, I need the nerdisms as soon as you can find them.
Coming soon (hopefully): Nooo! Carl's lost his toast!
----------------------------------
"Summer has come and passed
My free time will never last
Wake me up when the school year ends"
Stinky parody of a stinky modern song. I'd write more, but I don't really feel like it.
Why must I take Algebra?
I have updated my links yet again. Yay.
Unfortunately, the anvil of homework has been dropped on my head, immediately followed by the hammer of lateness. Death to mathematics!
----------------------------------
In case anyone was wondering, I am sick today, so I couldn't be at school. And sorry, fellow scouts, you guys are all on your own for the food drive.
I have finally gotten around to updating my links. Enjoy.
Civilization IV came out Monday. Wal-Mart still doesn't have it, or Bob would.
Age of Empires III is also out, but it's too expensive for my budget ($0 income per month). Maybe I'll get it in a year or two, when the price is down.
----------------------------------
Seriously, people, does anyone even come here?
Probably not, apart from me. In that case, why am I typing this?
----------------------------------
BOREDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just had to say that.
I almost decided to update my links. Then I decided not to. Then I decided people might be mad. So then I decided to add one new link.
Thank you to Ben and Carl for givng me links.
I have finally gotten a CD to Carl, which makes me the sole possessor of the old version of his site. Ha.
I have decided to do a secret page contest. Unlike Carl's, however, I will guarantee some sort of prize once the page is found.
Good luck, because you'll need it.
----------------------------------
I was going to try putting some additional stuff I made for my other page on here, but I couldn't figure it out in under ten minutes and decided not to.
Carl has been hoping to get a video of me playing Invention 14 on his site, so that may or may not happen within the next several months.
Donate money to the Red Cross. Sorry, no link yet.
For my fellow debaters, a great place for this year's topic is www.patriotdebates.com. There are intelligent arguments on both sides, and you'd be surprised which side tends to have the strongest support.
I can't wait for Star Wars: Empire at War.
----------------------------------
Now that school is starting, I am trying an experiment: No computer games for a month. It only applies to my home computer, though. Because of that, updates will be pretty rare for a while, even if I do survive.
Which reminds me. The first cross-country meet is Thursday.
----------------------------------
This will be my main site until I finally decide to get up off my lazy bum and look up the password to my other site. This page isn't much, but I'm only using it as a temporary site.
On a happier note, I have finished typing the scripts for all five Ant movies. Talk to me if you want to read it. It's 36 pages, so I only have one copy.
For the information of the reader, my starwars.com SN is Jimmo: Nerdboy forever. I spend virtually all of my time there in the Cantina, so look for me there.
Eventually, you can expect more text. Until then, you will have to be satisfied with a bunch of blank, empty space.
