Hans Brinker
Another thing: we watched "Hans Brinker" tonight, which is a hilariously dated skating movie. The acting is, shall we say, sub-par. :-)
Walt Disney World
Just a couple hours ago we got back from Disney World in Orlando, Florida. It was very fun!!! Here's my report.
Day Zero (Thursday) -- Disney Board Walk
We arrived on Thursday, March 24. As soon as we got to our hotel room (roughly 18:45) I rushed to the TV to see if they had Cartoon Network so I could watch Chapter 24 of Star Wars: Clone Wars, which was on at 19:00. Tragically, they didn't. We got the laptop set up, though, and downloaded it from starwars.com soon thereafter. We also went outside and explored the area behind our hotel, called the Disney Board Walk. There "Jeff" pointed us in the direction of a little restaurant -- and arcade.
Day One (Friday) -- Disney-MGM Studios
We spent our first full day at MGM, which remains my favorite of all the different parks. There we went to see, among other things, "Star Tours," Indiana Jones, "Lights, Motors, Action," and the nightime spectacular "Fantasmic!"
Day Two (Saturday) -- Epcot
Our second day was spent at the land of the giant golf ball. We saw (among other things) "Honey I Shrank the Audience," "Muppetvision 3-D," and "Test Track," which I did not go on.
Day Three (Sunday) -- Magic Kingdom
The Magic Kingdom is probably the most famous of the Disney parks. We spent the morning at attractions like "Big Thunder Mountain," "Splash Mountain" (which I didn't go on), Buzz Lightyear, Indy go-karts, and the Country Bear Jamboree. We went back to our hotel by way of Epcot shortly after noon, and then returned at night for the amazing parade and fireworks. ("Sal" helped us out then with seating suggestions.)
Day Four (Monday) -- Disney-MGM Studios, Disney Board Walk
We returned to MGM on Monday, this time doing "Who Wants to be a Millionaire - Play it!" twice and even more "Star Tours." I went on Star Tours five times total duirng our vacation. Later in the day, we fully explored the Board Walk, again assisted (this time in our quest to learn more about Disney's navy) by Jeff. We rented a little pedal-powered buggy to ride around the lake on, which was quite an interesting experience.
Day Five (Tuesday)
That's today! We spent a bit of time on the Board Walk, then packed up and left. Disney World was lots of fun -- perhaps when I have a bit more time I'll go more in-depth with my opinions on it.

Disney World
In 24 hours, I will most likely be in our hotel room in Disney World. Again, I'll be sure to report in afterwards!
In other news:
Yesterday and the day before yesterday, my family did the exact same thing at night.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, my family did the exact same thing at night.
- Watch the latest Clone Wars chapter
- Eat dinner while...
- ...watching The Incredibles
We finished The Incredibles yesterday. It's a very good movie, and the DVD has some absolutely hilarious extras, which we also watched last night. Note that when I was watching The Incredibles last Saturday, it was with some friends, separate from our little family watching campaign. :-)

Vacation
As of 14:10 this past Friday, I'm on vacation! This time, my family's actually going somewhere, which is rare for us. This Thursday we're flying down to Florida to Disney World! It'll be the first time my brother or I have gone.
I'll report in when we get back.

Movies
Over the past three days, I've seen parts or all of nine movies.

The Perfect Score (all)
Carolina (some)
Ace Ventura (some)
Austin Powers (some)
Forrest Gump (all)
Saturday:
Millions (all)
The Incredibles (some)
Sunday:
Robots (all)
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (some)
The Perfect Score was weird. Forrest Gump was good. Millions was trippy. And Robots was very good, very funny, and very fun to watch.
Bed time... adios!

Troy
We're studying Homer's work in History, and so our teacher suggested we watch Troy. It was pretty good.

Exams
Well, I had my two exams yesterday. They went all right, I didn't end up spending too much time on them.
The good news is: we got today off because of it. The bad news is: we would have had today off anyway, because of the snow. Why couldn't the snow wait just 24 hours!?!?!?
The bad news is made even worse by the fact the Middle School, for no apparent reason, got yesterday off -- they don't have exams. My brother Willy is part of the Middle School. I was fine with him getting Monday off, since I knew I would get today off, but now he's gotton both days off! Very unfair indeed. :-(
