Dover tops New Phila in tourney duel
Tornadoes advance; Dover gets past Bobcats in double OT

Two goals, two games, two wins.

Well, I finished fourth. That's not bad for having no idea what was going on for most of the season.

You lose!

Maybe a donut will make you feel better.

Is that better?

Additionally, pictures from the flood of yesterday:

The shed, in all of its almost wet glory.

The parking lot, as seen from the first full set of stairs leading to the deck.

Standing near the bottom of the stairs.

Same spot, looking a different direction. That mound is mom's mulch. To the right is non-submerged concrete. That black spot next to it is the high-water mark.

Looking out from that area over the parking lot. The pile of bricks is faintly visible.

The Cheat was having the time of her life out there.

Yet another interesting mom quote

Sat, 17 Jun 2006 16:32:29 GMT

So I was sitting in the TV room talking World Cup with mom. The conversation went something like this:

Me: If Portugal wins by two points, and if Angola can beat Iran by two points, Angola will move on, and Mexico will be out. Boo-yah!

Mom: Mexico has a cute...

I think we all know what you were going to say, mom.

Good news for today

Wed, 05 Oct 2005 01:29:30 GMT

And we got another win. ECOL Champs!

Woo-hoo!

Sun, 02 Oct 2005 19:31:50 GMT

Dover 2
New Philadelphia 1

One more win and we have the ECOL championship....

A tough pill to swallow.

Sun, 25 Sep 2005 13:07:49 GMT

So, as you may or may not know, I had my wisdom teef removed on Friday. And, aside from getting blood all over my bad and one of good shirts, everything went hunky-dory. The problem, however, is that I cannot swallow pills. As in physically unable. Now I'm supposed to take 8 pills a day through Tuesday. Yeah, screw that. I'm done with Vicaden (But that's partially because my Constitution is at least a 16, so I have bounced back already), so I only have to take 4 a day. Plus I have to rinse my mouth with warm salt water four times a day for a week. Plus I have to ice my cheeks. Eff'ing Wisdom Teef...

And, for anyone wondering, the soccer team is 8-1. This week's match-ups include Cambridge, Canton McKinley, and the New Philadelphia Fighting Quakers.

Well, that's enough for now.

Another update into my Oh so exciting life.

Sat, 20 Aug 2005 01:10:13 GMT

We had a scrimmage against Edison and St. Clairesville on Tuesday. I scored a goal on varsity, and earned the corner kick that caused our second goal. yee-ha! I spent the last two halves playing on defense, though. On Thursday we had two home scrimmages. Coach had me playing JV, but I only played one half of that, and then I started varsity. Crazy, isn't it? We didn't do too well though. Another scrimmage tomorrow at Waynedale, then a practice on Monday, then the start of the season with a home game against Massillon on Tuesday! Then school starts back up again. Time until school starts: 5 days. Books I have to read: 3 When am I going to read them? Homeroom on Wednesday.

Also, I have your Ghost Recon CD, Matthew. It's a great game. Score one for freedom!

Wed, 10 Aug 2005 01:40:46 GMT

So I have a varsity number (8) and no JV number, so I think that there is a decent chance I'll be playing varsity this year. Yay?

In case you're too far away to look at me in person.

I'm student of the month for April at Dover? What in the heck is going on there?

Oh, AP test are this week. Friday, to be precise. uh-oh.

And I'm going to see Star Wars III at the midnight premiere.

Why am I suddenly interested in baseball?

Wed, 06 Apr 2005 01:44:59 GMT

World Champs? More like the whipping boys of the Yankees. Whats that? Thats two home runs for Matsui. Oh yeah, BoSox. You guys are the BoSucks!

Plus I get to see the Yanks play Baltimore on Friday...I think its friday. Maybe Thursday. Either way, I win.

This is great humor here. Roman Polanski, who is hiding from US justice, is suing someone in the US court system. via satelitte.

Scholar Challenge

Sun, 06 Feb 2005 01:08:59 GMT

So, the ECOL Scholar Challenge thing definitely went on today. Dover so totally won. We had a 6-1 record during the tournament, and tied Phila. Point-wise, however, he smacked them up. So now there is another trophy in the old case. And my trip to Scotland paid off. Stone of Scone, I love thee!

We don't need no water...

Thu, 03 Feb 2005 21:43:30 GMT

The great fire of Dover has claimed a city block in the Downtown. I could see thick black smoke coming from the fire. To quote Channel 2, the block was "Distroyed."

I'm not dead!

"Only Andrew can have an LJ post with 18 responses...14 of which are him clarifying what he wrote."

Eat that, you mage loving History major!

Yes, I have decided I should update this thing again. Not much really happened since the last time I wrote. You know, some minor stuff, like a trip to Scotland, but thats not THAT great.

We had a Chorale competition on Saturday. And mom won't let me quit now. I accomplished what I set out to do, which was to prove Audrey Wolfe wrong, and now I have no desire to keep on dancing. And mom was like "no." And the musical try-outs are coming up shortly. I should probably get a chorus role, at least. I hope. It would be neat if I could get, you know, speaking lines, but I think you have to be able to sing to get those. Bah! Mock Trial is next Friday, so I have to get my lawyer on. Teach those Claymontian bastards what Schenk v. Ohio is!

Yeah. I really don't have that much else to say. Actually, I do. Dover High School has probably managed to one-up itself in the "Being Asanine" department. Next year, in addition to reducing the amount of periods in the day by one so they can shoot smart kids taking AP Chem in the foot, they have added History of American Football as a class.

Yes, you read that right. History of American Football.

It didn't even seem that history-y. The description says how at the end of the class, students will be able to create gameplans. Because, you know, in history classes we learn how to organize armies and attack, say, Iwo Jima. Oh wait, thats right. We don't! From what I heard, someone slipped it into Tucci's folder to get approved. And its being taught by Ifft. The Dean of Students. Who, last time I checked, didn't have a teaching certificate.

I'm really starting to hate Dover.

Speaking of things I don't like in education, I hear that Sr. Valerie is retiring. After I spend my early years suffering under her, she decides to retire. Couldn't do it when I was in third grade, could she?

Well, I need to get back to playing Rogue Spea- er, cleaning. Yeah. Thats it.

Sun, 28 Nov 2004 23:45:55 GMT

So, I'm watching the Pats game (9-3 after three quarters), and I think I just saw the best commercial ever. It was for the Amazing Race. Basically, the announcer said something to the effect of "A team will be eliminated, so don't miss the next episode of the Amazing race." Then it showed a bottle breaking and a big guy with a red bandanna yelling "God!"

I don't think anything else can hope to compare to that.

Oh, and the Patriots just got a touchdown. And a 2-point conversion. So thats what, 17-3? Yeah.

Its been 3 minutes and I'm already going through withdrawl.

Thu, 25 Nov 2004 03:40:17 GMT

Well, I beat Halflife 2. All I can say is Wow. Seriously. Wow. The ending was annoying (I was yelling at Halo 2 for leaving a cliffhanger ending, and here HL2 goes and pulls the same crap on me!), but aside from that, it was awesome. I'll probably beat it a couple more times. Maybe get some motion sickness pills, because they didn't figure out how to make the vehicle thing not be messed up. The story was good, but you can tell they wrote it saying "alright, how many ends can we leave loose for the sequel." Which annoys me. But doesn't come close to overshadowing the gravity Gun Mk. 2. Or, as I like to call it, The sqealer. Because, you know, I started squealing when I got it. If they wouldn't have waited so long to give it to me....Well, I think I've given out enough semi-spoilers. Now I can read the PC Gamer review without being frightened of accidentally finding out something I shouldn't know.

Later.

Crimson Chorale Pays Off

Sat, 20 Nov 2004 15:40:32 GMT

Want to know something awesome? The Vienna Boys Choir is coming to Dover on December 1st. I'm going. Tickets are $50. I get in for free because I'm in chorale.

Oh, and HL2 is reallly really really fun. You should buy it. I know I did!
