So...

So, I have gotten my schedule for school and it's pretty good. My only complaints would be that I have Geometry every morning, and Ceramics is before Drawing, which is like a tranference from messy... to mostly clean. Well, I have decided that I will make a schedule for the rest of my short summer and for school.

So far it's just been: Sleep-computer-eat-computer-eat-sleep. But now I will elaborate and add more constructive things to my day. It's mostly because even though high school is exciting and all, it also means chinese school will start again soon, and that's such a pain. T_T

So! I will take action. Here is my schedule.

Summer Schedule
7:30am - Wake up
8:00am - Eat breakfast
8:10am - Morning routine of link checking
9:00am - Do whatever you want!
10:00am - Do whatever you want!
11:00am - Do whatever you want!
12:00pm - Do whatever you want!
1:00pm - Do whatever you want!
2:00pm - Do whatever you want!
3:00pm - Do whatever you want!
3:30pm - Study chinese
4:00pm - Do whatever you want!
5:00pm - Do whatever you want!
6:00pm - Do whatever you want!
7:00pm - Eat dinner
8:00pm - Do whatever you want!
9:00pm - Do whatever you want!
10:00pm - Do whatever you want!
11:00pm - Sleep
12:00am - Sleep
1:00am - Sleep
2:00am - Sleep
3:00am - Sleep
4:00am - Sleep
5:00am - Sleep
6:00am - Sleep
7:00am - Sleep


It's hourly. Yay! I know I could conserve space by deleting all my sleeping, but this way is more fun. As you can see, I have a lot of time to do whatever I want. Therefore, I have 2 rules.

Rule #1. Somehow implement 30 minutes of drawing, eating lunch, and basic necessities into your time of doing whatever you want.

Rule #2. You can study chinese for 30 minutes earlier anytime if you want, but by 3:30pm, if you haven't studied, you better do it now. >:(

And now for my school schedule.

School Schedule
5:30am - Wake up & do basic necessities
6:10am - Eat
6:25am - Drive to bus stop
6:39am - Bus leaves
6:45am - Check you have everything, find a bus buddy, and sleep?
7:55am - School starts
8:00am - School
9:00am - School
10:00am - School
11:00am - School
11:50pm - Lunch
12:30pm - School
1:00pm - School
2:00pm - School
3:00pm - School
3:35pm - School ends
3:48pm - Bus leaves
4:00pm - Maybe at home?
5:00pm - Do HW
6:00pm - Do HW
7:00pm - Eat dinner
8:00pm - Study Chinese
8:30pm - Do whatever you want!
9:00pm - Do whatever you want!
10:00pm - Sleep

I could try to sleep at 9, but I don't think that's possible. I'm still trying to adjust from my nocturnal sleeping schedule. And even though the hourly schedule is fun, I do want to conserve at least a little bit more space, so I didn't add sleeping 20 times. @_@

Now compare: Too much time vs. Too little time

On another subject, Nitrome has a new game. Nitrome updates so frequently, and sometimes they update before I want to do a blog post. And I feel like adding a post just for one teensy little link to a game-updating-machine is too many posts of non-thinking? So, I just added a little text thing over on the left side which will be for all those little game updates that come often enough to not include in the links page or as a post. I'm not sure how to explain it so that you don't have to reread that sentence. However, there is one link that's pretty cool, which I will include here:

Q-BLOCK - Have you ever heard of pixel art? This is just like pixel art, except it's 3D(none of that isometric stuff) and you can rotate it around, export it, or use it as your desktop wallpaper. Isn't that cool? It's like legos, but neater and square.

Ok. I'm already 25 minutes late on my schedule, so the post ends here.
I would like to add more statistics on my schedules though. Statistics make me happy. :D
But I won't. Ok, good bye!

Changes

I changed my blog a little bit yesterday, so now it looks better! Now most of the pictures and extras are on the left, and all the links and wordy stuff is on the right. I also finally found a place to put my "About Me" instead of that place in the middle that wasn't completely the middle even though I tried to center everything.

Anyway, here are screenshots of before and after.

Before:

After:

Also, there's new Nitrome game(sequel to Twin Shot).

http://www.nitrome.com/games/twinshot2/ - But now they have 50 levels extra for people who buy them. Which is kind of sad because then they might continue doing that for all their future games and pretty soon we'll only have 10 free levels. I hope that won't happen.

And I think I forgot to tell you about Parasite too, which relates very much to the title. You get to take over flying kittens, boars, and a few other creatures to help you get to your destination. They also turn green and drooly when you control them.

Ooba Glooba, Little Bees

How do you think aliens sound?
I picture green gloopy aliens with one eye and three tentacles and an O shaped mouth. And they have three fingers with little whatever-those-things-are that octopus have on their arms. They have an eggplant shaped body, move slow and go "ooba glooba".

I am reading Little Bee right now, for summer reading. I am also halfway through "Something Wicked This Way Comes" which I always think is "Something Wicked Comes Along". Jane Eyre is the most dreaded book at the moment, since its definately the longest and most boring book I chose off the list. The other books are about teenagers salvaged for their body parts, two-faced circuses that change overnight, and a book that is so special that it doesn't have a very resourceful summary(although intriguing, somewhat) and supposedly has a horrific beach scene that I have yet to read.

Little Bee is much better than I expected. I love the narrative of Little Bee, but I don't really like how it changes from her POV to the woman-who's-got-a-kid-obsessed-with-batman in every other chapter. LB's commentary and descriptions are much more interesting than the other person's. I was interested in the book when I read the summary, but then I thought, oh no, it must be one of those books that have intriguing summaries but lack of substance. And then I got the book and it was just beautiful. I figured that a book with font as wonderful as that and with such a nice summary-area on the inside cover had to be good. I judge books by the cover a lot, even though I'm not supposed to, but when you compare The Goose Girl and Treasure Island, well...

The Goose Girl - Best book ever, BEST COVER EVER!!
Treasure Island - Boring. Ew Cover.

The Goose Girl's original cover, I mean. The new one is too modernized and doesn't look like Ani/Isi at all, to me.

Anyway, I found this nice word game. Try it out:
http://www.wordsandwich.com/

And Nitrome has 2 new games:
Castle Corp
Double Edged

And, Incredibots now has an Incredibots 2. It's just really slow.
http://incredibots2.com/

Strawberries (and 2 new nitrome games)

Yes! No more tests, no more finals, no more anything! Now we do nothing for the rest of our measly 7 days.

I'm having Strawberry Yoplait Yogurt right now. My favorite yogurt flavour is Strawberry, and my favorite yogurt brand is Yoplait. Except I couldn't find any original, so I had got the Whips! kind. Whip is weird. it's very light, looks spongy, and makes a sponge sound when you take a cunk out with your spoon. And no pieces of real strawberry, D:

We're doing perspective drawings in art. I just found out that there are *insert number* perspectives! I thought it was just a plain perspective drawing. That makes me sad. Because we learned about perspectives when we were in elementary. >_> Anyway, perspectives are cool. Especially 6 point perspectives. I'm going to have to try that one day.

New Nitrome game by the way. I think its a minigame. OH MY GOD THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!! I was going to tell you about Cosmic Cannon, but then I checked their homepage and they have another new one. O_o It's called Droplets and looks adorable. I have no idea what it's about. Cosmic Cannon has a bunch of characters from Nitrome's previous games. You blast cannonballs out of a cannon at the bottom of the screen, and each ball has a number. Every time the ball collides with anything, the number goes up. You try to get the highest number possible. Ok, now I'm off to play Droplets. Goodbye!

http://www.nitrome.com/games/droplets/ - Droplets sound cute too. Don't they?
http://www.nitrome.com/games/cosmiccannon/ - Bloop.

No wait. The whole point of this post was to do my new weekly list thing.
http://subliminal.lunanina.com/ - From here. Remember?

Optimistic moment :: Dream Bubble

Welcome is a grocery store by the way. Well, now, bye!
---
I just finished Droplets, :D All 30 levels! Funny ending. Took 90 minutes? o_o Ah, saddening.
Oh darn. I forgot about my yogurt. It's melted into this weird foamy liquid. Egch. Like melted ice cream.

Power Up

A new Nitrome game, and just in time for Earth Day, :)

Power Up - Connect the blocks and so the electricitycan pass through. Physics! It has an awesome menu. Drag and drop the blocks that spell out the title of the game there. I think the blocks are a little too unstable though...

Happy Earth Day!

Rustyard and Final Ninja Zero

Final Ninja Zero - The sequel to Final Ninja, except the time period is actually before Final Ninja. 16 levels. I love the first level. :)

Rustyard - This has been out for a while now. Its a little like OneKey because you only use your mouse, and your little robot guy just keeps walking obliviously into walls. So you control the things around him so that he gets to the goal safely and can unplug his head(very cute). Also reminds me of that movie, Wall-E. :D Lots of levels.

Icebreaker: The Red Clan

Another new Nitrome game :D
Its a sequel to Icebreaker.
Icebreaker: The Red Clan - Originally in Icebreaker, all the vikings were blue. Well, now you can help out the red ones too. It's got 40 new levels. Its recommended that you try the original Icebreaker before doing this one, since it starts off with new stuff. Otherwise, it'll be a little overwhelming when you play this game. (It uses 5 things from the original game on the 3rd level without telling you how to use them) I love the hand/rocks. :D

Glassworks

New Nitrome Game! 6

Glassworks - Climb glass and punch Zamboni-looking monsters with your homemade supergloves!

Mirror Image

New Nitrome Game.

Mirror Image - You are a warlock who seems to be unable to walk. To move, you draw lines, and the guy teleports to the other side of the line. At first it's ok, but then the little line that tells you where you'll land goes away, and that's when it gets harder.

Sentences - 3 in one sentences game. A quote is given to you in some way, but you have to either play hangman, unscramble the words, or you are given the first 3 letters of the first word and then try to guess that word (and so on with the next few words). Simple graphics.

Twin Shot

"Yeah, so- AHH! ITS A NEW NITROME GAME! AHHH!"
"What?"
"Oh my god, they're jello-kittens!"
"Jello-kittens? Gosh, someone over there must really like cats."
"Oh. Oh, yeah! I love the music!"
"Wait, does it use arrow keys?"
"Yeah!"
"And no mouse or anything?"
"Nope."
"Hold on, going there..What's it called?"
"Twin Shot. It has a 2-player mode. You shoot these arrows to kill monsters and when an arrow hits a wall, it sticks out so that you can stand on it and stuff. The cat looks so cute when it jumps."
"Oh! I see it!"
"The background is kind of Greek-like."
"Ok. Oh, he looks so cute when he flies!"
"I know!"
"Whoa! Ah- Darn. I keep jumping on them."
"Haha. Oh, there's flying bunnies! And weird slimey blobs."
"Oh, this is cool! Hey, what level are you on?"
"Uh..eight, I think."
"Cool. I'm getting to level five. What are those things? Ah! Oh my god, they jump!"
"Oh yeah, those. Those are so annoying."
"Hey, I'll chat with you on messenger, ok?"
"Ok, bye!"
"Later."

Here is the link: http://www.nitrome.com/games/twinshot/

Small Insignificant Note: I beat Thin Ice a while ago, so it's no longer forever stuck on level 39. I also finished the last level of Twin Shot just now, so I'm going to go finish reading The Goose Girl for the 6th time. It's the best book ever, you know. Anyone a fan of Shannon Hale?

Eyezmaze Tower and Flash Cat

Yes! A new eyezmaze game came out, "Grow Tower". Devan found it yesterday. And a new Nitrome game!

The Nitrome game, Flash Cat, is a 3D race track in pixels, where your racing mobile(a pink green legged bug) scuttles and jumps through power-ups and tries to get you to the end as fast as possible. You, the cat, steer the bug so it doesn't fall off the racetrack. Space to shoot, left and right arrow keys to steer, up arrow key to jump, and down arrow key to brake. (Link below)

For those of you who have never tried a grow game, what you do is click one of the icons/options. Then click another, and another, until they have all been clicked. Depending on the order you click them, different things happen. There's one ending for each game(sometimes 2) and you try to reach the end to get there. Since there are so many combinations, sometimes you have to logically figure out what would work with what.

Link to Flash Cat (Nitrome): http://www.nitrome.com/games/flashcat/
Link to Grow Tower: http://www.eyezmaze.com/eyezblog_en/blog/2009/01/grow_tower.html

Ex. 3 Options are(there are usually more): seed, water, shovel (usually you don't know the function of what you click on. So basically, its usually not this easy)

Possibility 1
1. Seed (seed falls on ground)
2. Water (rains on ground, grows grass around seed) (seed upgrades, sprouts flower)
3. Shovel (digs up grass) (water upgrades, rains again) (sometimes not everything upgrades)

Possibility 2
1. Shovel (Digs hole)
2. Water (fills hole and makes pond)
3. Seed (seed floats on water and some random frog swallows it) (water upgrades, floods)

You know, stuff like that. But much more creative and fun and wonderfully animated! It's always fun to try different things because its different for every combination.

Pixel Pop

New Nitrome game, again. o_o

Pixel Pop - Its a mini-game with a bunch of different levels. Turn up the volume, because rhythm is a big part of this game. (My sound isn't working at the moment though, so I'm not sure how much you'll depend on it) Anyway, Its got a lot of random things. Like karate-chopping apples and fruit(while dancing), zapping farmers, or smashing little flying planes(also while dancing). This game is very retro-looking, and its even more pixelized than usual. Very colorful, although frustrating. :)

Ice Breaker Level 39 :D

Ice Breaker

Yes! A new Nitrome game! :D

Ice Breaker - There are vikings. Click and drag to cut ice, and help the vikings get back to their ship. And when the frozen vikings fall into the ship, this big viking with a hammer breaks the ice, and they all ride away.

Frost Bite 2

Wahoo! Finals are over!

Frost Bite 2 - The sequel to Frost Bite. Nitrome is uploading games really fast again. For those of you who haven't played Frost Bite, you are a climber with a hook. You climb mountains in a snuggly snowsuit. Your hook helps you reach high places and get the monsters out of the way. There are boss levels now, and your hook is faster, but shorter. You walk really slow on slopes. Each time you finish a mountain, you move on to a higher mountain. Most mountains also have caves. You collect ice-pops(even though its already freezing) for more points.
You have 4 lives, and a health bar for each one, which you can replenish by collecting hearts.

Flipside

http://www.nitrome.com/games/flipside/ - A cool new Nitrome game! Lily posted about it already, so check her blog for more info. Its a racing game where you can jump and flip. You can also race against others at the computer or against the computer. Cool graphics/animation. :D

Numbskull

:D There's a new Nitrome game! And a new skin for Halloween!

The new game is called Numbskull. There's a skeleton body somewhere, and its skull is somewhere else. Select and rotate blocks to drop the skull onto its body. There are 50 levels.

http://www.nitrome.com/games/numbskull/

Dog House

Nitrome made another new game. o_o That was really fast. It says on their blog that they made these games a while ago, its just taken a while to release them. It's called dog house, and the dog is just adorable. Basically, you lead the dog to the kitchen by dragging a bone over there. Then you move rooms, stairs, elevators, and make a path for the dog to get there.
Try holding the bone above his head. :) He jumps for it! And while you drag the bone, he sniffs around. I'm on level 15 right now.

I'm working on another photoshop, and trying to pictures of everyone. Meanwhile, I've been listening to Love Story by Taylor Swift, which I found on Lily's playlist.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKslHNyd9Tc

Hurricane Ike

Well, we had no power for a few days, but now it's back! After the hurricane, a lot of the trees in the parking lot uprooted. The pool is a mess. Otherwise, no too much other damage over here. It was pitch black at night though, so we played cards by candlelight.

I made some paper things just before the hurricane.
Also, Nitrome has a new game called Mallet Mania. Its really hard though. It's kind of like golf, but with a lot more traps and twists.

Also, I found these adorable animations a few weeks ago. They have no text, just pictures and animation. Here are links to them.
There She Is 1
There She Is 2: Cake Dance
There She Is 3: Doki & Nabi
There She Is 4: Paradise

Onekey Nitrome Game

Ack, I haven't posted for a while. Anyway, Nitrome made a new game a few days ago called Onekey. Basically, you help this little guy get to the end of the level by pressing the spacebar to trigger stuff. Use it to open gates, make him bounce, float, etc. Very cute. :)

I've been using my tablet these days too. Making a frog on Paint right now.
On Friday, we had art homework, so I went afterschool to pick it up since the drawing wouldnt fit in my binder. The door was locked, so I asked the next-door art teacher, and she said that she was on her shift and would probably be back in in 15 minutes. So I couldn't go back in once leaving the building because the people in the hallway would stop us. Since I carpooled with my friend and she was already outside, I had to go out too and wait. After much freaking out, we decided to sneak into the art hallway through a door a little bit further from the front of the school. And we got in just as my teacher went into her class, and safely retrieved my homework.
