Oh, and congrats to Opportunity & get well soon Spirit!

Today for Service Learning Day my advisory went to Welcome Baby (a charitable organization) and sewed blankets. That means I learned how to sew! Yippee!

By the way -- where'd all the snow go? :-\

Last Friday many schools got the day off it was sooooo cold....... and Beaver was one of those! That means that we got a 4-day-weekend! :-) Too bad we go back to school tomorrow...

Today we worked on Survivor or Not some more -- we're making progress!!! :-) Hopefully I'll have a TuckLyne Studios blog up soon where you can learn more about all that.

Oh, and happy new year!

Congratulations to NASA and Spirit, good luck Opportunity, and RIP Beagle.

Today's the last day of winter break for me. :( Very sad. However, I've worked on my website a bunch and will (hopefully) be able to upload my updates to EVERY PAGE soon. The only thing that's stopping me from uploading them now is updating the rest of the pages. :)

Saw Paycheck today -- good movie. Never try to predict the future.

That's all for now. Adios!

Oh, and one more thing: School gets out for winter break THIS FRIDAY!!!! :-D Yay....

Just a little poem for all you loyal readers out there.... :)

Bobby was a chemist's son,
Bobby is no more.
For what he thought was H2O
Was H2SO4.

Many version of that abound with slight alterations, but that's the way I first heard it....

Check out the video - and watch it all! It'll take a while....

SNOW DAY TOMORROW!!! (That's for all Beaver CDS students.) Happy...

We have at least two feet of snow here. I'll try to get some pictures on tophtucker.com at some point... right after I take the photos...

Also, check out http://www.muffinfilms.com/. Six and ten are the best, but look at them all.

I got Flash for my birthday, so I've been updating my web site with some of that stuff lately. Go there now and admire the new navigation thingy! I'll have a couple more things posted there soon...

Also, sorry for the lack of posts recently. I'll try to be better about that now!

:-( Cowboy down... oh well, there's always next year I suppose.

On a lighter note, tomrrows's my birthday! Now sing!

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Toph,
Happy birthday to you!

Oh thank you for that wonderful song! :-)

Check out my new blog for Beaver Country Day School A-Team soccer. There you can see whether we won our latest game, as well as who's in the lead in our ongoing 3-on-3 tournament.

Oh yeah, and GO SOX!!! AGAIN!!! :-D

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!

Come on, I know we can beat them tomorrow...

COWBOY UP!

COWBOY UP!

Good luck to the Red Sox and especially Johnny Damon. Although on an ongoing ESPN poll we're rated third most likely to win the World Series among the final four, more people want the Red Sox to win than any other team.

May the Force be with them!

The new Popcorn Guy web site is up and running. Check it out. If you liked the old site, you can still find in here.

Ahoy matey! Shiver me timbers, it's September 19 - Talk Like a Pirate Day (http://www.talklikeapirate.com)! Ay, 'tis the day yer get ter talk like ol' Long John Silver. Arrghh!!!!

Oh yes, and also, I'm in the process of updating my Popcorn Guy web site, so check there soon (http://www.tophtucker.com/popcorn). The APACM just dropped off our first letter to the local AMC Theatres manager, who said he'd forward it to headquarters. Keep sending those emails!

AARRGHH!!!!

School started yesterday for me. :-( Tommorrow we go on a two-day, one-night "orientation" in Vermont with all the 8th grade - the other grades have their own getaway locations.

I've been having trouble logging on to my web site server to upload new content - I had a school photo album & Taconnet photo album in mind, along with a big TuckLyne site update mentioned last time - so be patient when it comes to updates. I hope to have that resolved, at most, within a week.

The Popcorn Guy petition is now drawing to a close - it'a been going on for about a half-year - and we have 566 signatures that we'll be sending in to AMC HQ ASAP. Contact me if you want to help out.

I'll try to update again after I get back from Vermont on Friday afternoon. But don't expect this update to be the first thing I do after getting home, so don't blame me if the next update is actually Tuesday or something.

Now that I'm back from Maine, I've been working on my web site a fair amount. Mainly my TuckLyne web site (tophtucker.com/tucklyne - you can see it needs redoing), including my little TuckLyne Studios web site partially dedicated to that Kung-Fu parody I mentioned.

Lately I've also been trying to get TuckLyne "working" again - after I get the web site done I'm going to work more on advertising. Overall, I think TuckLyne is doing pretty well, and I see great times ahead for it.

Oh yes, then there's the petition to save the popcorn guy (tophtucker.com/popcorn). You know that guy who used to dance around and stuff before the movie at General Cinema? Well AMC bought General Cinema, so the Popcorn Guy's been replaced by the EVIL Filmstrip Man. Check out that web site above for more, and email the popcorn guy at SaveThePopcornGuy@hotmail.com with your name so that the APACM (Association for the Preservation of Animated Cartoon Mascots) and I can add your name to the petition. Over 400 names and counting!

We're back from Maine. It was a lot of fun - we went tubing a lot, as well as some skiing and just boating. We also roasted a lot of marshmallows.... the last week we were there we were going to make a Kung-Fu parody with a couple other families, but we couldn't get our hands on a FireWire cable and the whole thing never really came together.

I've downloaded MSN Messenger 6.0 - a huge improvement over the old version. You can have your own icon, your own background for IMing, and even make your own emoticons. You can also play one of five games with your buddy, as well as some other cool things.

School starts this Tuesday. :-( Sad.... back to the land of homework, alas.

Oh yeah - Knights of the Old Republic still rocks. ;-) And the 5th Harry Potter is good, too, but I wish ______ hadn't died....

T-minus 57 minutes and counting....

P.S. Knights of the Old Republic (Xbox) rocks!
