I'd say that approximately half of my music is (was) rated, and that it's about that much I have actually listened to. Then, only about a quarter of ... http://www.netsua.com/blog/itunes-operation-rate I submitted an application, burned a DVD with my movies, and went to an interview and now I've finally been accepted into the Film program at the Summer Arts Institute, which is an arts-focused summer camp type of thing.

I've known for a while and had been going through the pre-brace stuff (mouthpiece, etc.) but now I've got them on the top for real, and next month on the bottom. So for the ... http://www.netsua.com/blog/braces Ouch. I just noticed that I haven't posted here in over two weeks. Since April 1st! Well, I didn't exactly mean for that to happen. I guess it just... did. But I was very busy, I promise! Very, very busy. With school, and, like, school and stuff. I'll have a few ... http://www.netsua.com/blog/2-and-a-half-weeks-whoops I'm fed up. This is stupid. I can't stand it anymore. I've had crashes almost daily now, and I've had 2 instances where I've had to re-install the OS on my computer. This is stupid. For the first 3 months, everything seemed fine, but then it just all screwed up. My ... http://www.netsua.com/blog/switching-back It's been a while, I know. But now I'm back and hopefully secure (thanks Aaron.) Anyway, it's been over a month since my last post, which I am very sorry for. But, life took over and I just didn't have the time to put the site back up.

There's a fun kind of childhood amusement when you watch the two of them waste time making paper footballs and doing other random stuff. And that's not to say that the skits ... http://www.netsua.com/blog/stewart-vs-colbert-vs-obrien-video Well, okay, technically I didn't vote. I'm not exactly 18 yet. But then again, technically I did. I turned the switch and pulled the lever so I did vote. Only, well - it was in my mom's name. But, hear me out! I still voted! You see, my mom couldn't choose ... http://www.netsua.com/blog/i-voted This is so incredibly awesome. I wish I was there, or a part of it. Awesome, just awesome.

Both the Clintons and ... http://www.netsua.com/blog/austen-squarepants-endorses-barack-obama Well, here it is. 4 minutes of sound effects enhanced lego action. It's the sequel to (surprise!) Bounty Hunter 1. And yes, I am aware that our hero's hair style magically changed in between the two movies, but it's not my fault that the old hair just decided to disappear! Anyway, ... http://www.netsua.com/blog/bounty-hunter-2-movie If I could sum up Once in only 3 words, I would say: Rent it now. 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and me should be reason enough to see it. Yes, I am wholeheartedly recommending this movie because it is amazing. Ok, let's start from the beginning... Once is really a modern form ... http://www.netsua.com/blog/mini-review-once It's actually more than that.

Just wanna say I'm still here, and this coming week is PBA week so very little posting, but hopefully after that I can pick up again. (I probably just jinxed it...) That was a horrible post, I know. http://www.netsua.com/blog/i-dont-care-if-christmas-is-over Okay, it's 15 minutes later, but whatever. Yeah. It's like 11:02 and Hillary pretty much won, but Obama was soooo close! It's because of her tearing up, it's been the most-watched video on YouTube all day. Oh well. Maybe Obama will still win but this would have been cool. Still, it ... http://www.netsua.com/blog/new-hampshire-primaries-part-2
