I volunteered to work at an archery tournament today (for bonus credit in my PE class). I woke up early and everything, only to realize that the buses don't run on Saturdays. Suckage! So I had to go borrow the car from my brother to get to the site. Well, I got pretty lost, and by the time I finally got there, I was like over an hour late, haha. But I offered to stay late, so it worked out okay. Man, I didn't think I was outdoors for that long, but I still managed to get a sunburn. =( And I had my bracelet (Buddhist prayer beads) on, so now I'm gonna have like a watch tan! arrrrrrggggg, hahaha. But yea, I generally don't like getting a tan- it requires to much uncomfortable sunlight and heat. So I usually prefer to stay a shade of nice, pasty white, hahaha.
*And since the start of the war, I've been wanting to get a different angle on what's happening. Everyone knows the popular American media is biased as hell, so I decided to give BBC a try, but I didn't really like it. How ironic that all the major English speaking countries seem to be lined up on the same side of the issue. So yea, I decided to check out Al Jazeera's English site. And I'm sure it's got bias in the other direction- it really portrays the war in a much more negative light. But yea, I guess it balances out all the positive stuff I get from the mainstream US news.
