I *heart* Smallville

O.k., to lots of today was a little dull, but all in all good. Calligraphy was ok, I still suck but maybe soon I will know what I am doing a bit so I can buy stuff & practise at home. That's one of the things I hope to be not too bad at, as a demonstrable skill I can keep (that isn't Chinese, as that is not TOO appreciable to most of you -- "Hey guys, look what I can do: [incomprehensible stuff]" Everyone, "what?") but we'll see.

In Military Training I just studied stuff, reading through the ridiculously easy children's book which is all I can handle. I am working my way up to that one Scott gave me, which hopefully has like a mythological/historical vocabulary as opposed to one of basic items like rulers & pencil sharpeners. I don't even own a pencil. :p

More chinups at lunch, and a little hacking. Choir was good, we started a new song, but it is also easy. So much easy stuff, gah. In Music we just watched the musical again (called "Into the Woods"... all the people are darn good singers, and the lyrics are witty / brilliant & it's funny in general) finishing the first act. Chinese class wasn't bad, though we're doing this one grammar thing that is pretty difficult which I don't like. And it's not all that useful, like for emphasis but you can't emphasize every part of a sentence with it.

Afterwards, Scott, Kaylee & I were going to go to his house to watch some Smallville. We first took a detour at Gongguan to have another bing, this time Kaylee & I had the green bean one. And Scott had the red bean soup with sweet rice-ball-things that he can eat again. We eventually made our way to the Chen residence, where Kaylee was entertained playing a traditional Chinese instrument with Margaret. So, while waiting for Claire to arrive, Scott & I played Worms Armageddon. I sucked because I am out of practise, but it was fun.

Eventually Claire got there, and we started watching. After one episode, I was like, "This kicks ass!" and was hooked. We had pizza too (save long-suffering Scott). Of course the presence of Kaylee made it more enjoyable, but it was brilliant anyway--all the actors are really rocking. At like 8:50ish I wanted to go home, but then I actually watched the first minute of another episode & had to stay to watch that as well. All in all we watched 4, and agreed to save the rest of Season 3 for a marathon on winter break. Hardcore goodness. Don't tell me anything about it!

Rock on y'all, and post a comment (on Anna's blog too). K out [15 minutes]
