a nice weekend

Last weekend was great for me. I didn't have a lot of work to do, and I just relaxed. We watched Star Wars episode 5 as a family, and my sister slept through the "I am your father" speech. I still can't believe she slept through the most iconic part of the movie. It was good to see Empire Strikes Back a second time.

I also watched a old horror classic, Day of the Dead. It is my Dad's favourite zombie movie because it shows even when few members of the human race are left, they still can't get past their differences. The zombies are scarier in this movie because they are an actual threat. I really like this movie because of that.

Well that's all over now. It was a nice weekend, but now the week is over and I got other things to do. Goodnight

the plane

The missing Malaysian plane is causing a lot of commotion with the news. I don't understand why it's so important, it probably just crashed. I don't think it is necessary for the news to give it so much attention, because it feels like this story is being dragged out. It's just a plane, nobody important was on it. It doesn't seem like something that should be getting as much attention as it is.

How many idiots does it take to find a plane? That is the question I want answered, but I know it takes a lot more than are looking for one now. They're using the Navy and Satellites but still no luck. I find it hard to believe that it takes such a long time just to locate a plane. It can't be as hard as it may seem.

Well that's all for tonight, tomorrow is a new day. I won't do much, it will be a day of relaxation. Rest is just what I need right now. If I can relax, I can concentrate better in school. Goodnight.

Tf2 Mvm

In one of my older posts, I talked about a game called Team Fortress 2. In TF2, there is a game mode called mann vs. machine. In mvm, a team of 3-6 players defends against waves of robots trying to deploy a bomb. If the bomb is deployed, the defending team loses the round and has to start over. That's basically how mvm works.

Recently, I've been trying to beat mvm alone. Since playing mvm  alone means having to do it on a private server, I can use the developer console to my advantage. The developer console will allow me to use commands to help me win. These commands can give me money for upgrades, spawn computer controlled allies, and move these allies to where I am. Things like this will be very helpful.

Using the right class is also important, because the abilities and weapons of each class is different. The best class to use on your own is the demoman. Demoman has the highest damage output and great at defending with his remotely detonatable bombs. Since mvm is all about defending your base, a defensive class like demoman is the obvious choice. Maybe I'll finally beat mvm solo if I use these techniques.

march break

March Break ended recently, but I miss it already. It was a great week and I especially enjoyed going to LEGO LAND. It was a lot of fun building and gift shopping, but it also had a 4-D theatre, a ride with a long line, a shooting game, and some kid stuff I was too old for. I enjoyed it a lot though, and I am also glad I went before I was too old. March Break was very relaxing and enjoyable, I'm kind of sorry it's over.

Well now it's back to regular school weeks, with the Literacy test next week. Work just comes and goes so fast now, that Literacy test will be here before I know it, so I really got to start practising. Luckily my Dad's friend is a highschool teacher and he told me the secret, never overlook the diagrams. If I make good use of the resources I have I can't lose. It will be a breeze If I put my mind to it.

The day is almost over and it'll be another day of school. What will I do tomorrow? I don't have any special plans so I'll probably just relax. I like to savour calm moments, because I can get lost in thought and I won't miss anything. That's all for tonight, I'm really tired.
