Year of The Monkey.

Yay! Finally I get to celebrate my zodiac sign. Today I went to Chinatown and so a whole big parade of lion dancing, and drumming. I still can't figure out why there was a dragon dance there when it's year of the monkey. Anyway the parade was a blast, people were throwing poppers on the streets, people were shoving and pushing and we still didn't go anywhere. That's when me and my mother ended up in a store to wait inside until everybody was finally moving. The police finally came to be able to direct for people to go because on the sidewalk we were on, everybody was going in one direction. Then, when the parade was over, the stupid idiotic police wouldn't let us cross the street, saying that the block was closed and we had to go around the block to get past when the parade was over. People started going through the barricades and crossing the street. We went back home and had took a nap, that's where I woke up and am telling the story. - Alex

No reply.

I sent a letter to Keira Knightly to England, and I was expecting to recieve a letter back from her til my mother said it actually might take a month. :::Smack::: duh what was I thinking? I thought. Now I sent the letter the tuesday before October 20th ( October 11th ) mind you, and I still haven't got an answer back from her. So basically it's been more than three months I've sent the letter and I'm still waiting for a reply. Abuela did you get a letter back from England??? (I wonder what's taking so long) :::smack again::: she's acting in a movie called King Arthur that's coming up. No wonder why. Ah well I'm going to wait for one more month and we'll see. If there's a reply then I'll be happy, if there's no reply than I'm going to send another letter gah durnit! - Alex.

The Lord of The Rings Return Of The King

One of my friends who lives in the same building I do, asked me "Have you seen Lord of The Rings Return of The King?" I responded "Yes, twice." He said his sister saw it 6 times! 'What a freak of middle-earth's nature' I thought - Alex.

European Orbiter vs. American Rover

Today I found out that a European orbiter had found water on Mars.

When I noticed this news, NASA shouldn't have sent the rover to Mars when it's going to take a while for it to stop bouncing and rolling and it still hasn't unfolded itself. When the rover unfolds itself it could take several days to do that, and yet the Europeans are already ahead. All what they did was send an orbiter to Mars which is a lot more efficient than sending the rover because it can gather more info since it's like looking at a map (of water vapor) - Alex
