Shooting the Bull

Another amazing Palmdale breakfast.





My mom and I went out to Wescom and Target to put some money in my account and to get some extraneous school supplies.


Later that night we headed back to L.A. where my laptop kept me company.

The reason there has been no Lupe all weekend is because I was watching this super awesome podcast called Shooting the Bull with Ryan Wieber and Michael "Dorkman" Scott (Ryan vs Dorkman, RVD2: Ryan vs. Dorkman 2) and Travis Boles and Corey (Three in the Afternoon/Six in the Morning). The greatest thing about it was that the viewers could directly chat with them as they played a live broadcast.

Holly '11 Inch Wand

Spending the weekend in Palmdale with my mom this weekend.


What's the best thing about Palmdale besides it's barren land and extreme hot/cold weather and one mall is the food my mom feeds me and the dogs.



They got a new dog named Jack (the white one) the old one is Bam Bam (the black one).



I also got my wand finally! I have my scarf too but I don't know where I put it and I don't feel like getting it cause I've promised someone my full attention (haha).

Donate, Seventeen Days Down

Hmmm . . . I may go to this. Moving that ladder was intense at one point, it almost toppled over the stairs at one point.


I have been offered a Mac G4 by one of my video teacher's former students (and possibly the new video teacher for next year) for a fair sum of $600 dollars in two $300 dollar payments. I have the first payment down but I need help with the next three hundred. I have a PSone and Sega Genesis I'm selling for $50 dollars each with all the games along with it for $1 each. I'll also be selling a few PS2 games for $5-10 dollars each. I have a PSP going for $40 with a game. I have a GameBoy Advance SP (Red). I have a fair few of XBOX games like Jedi Star Fighter, Knockout Kings 2002, Sega GT 2002 and Red Dead Revolver, all going for $5. I'm also selling my Katana (Samurai sword) and Tanto (dagger used by Samurai to commit Seppeku). Also, I'm selling an old Windows 95 PC. It works perfectly it's just really old. If you know anyone by some crazy chance who would want one. I've got it. If you yourself are interested or know someone who would be interested just message me on myspace and we'll work something out.

That's it. If I have any updates on what I'm selling I will definitely say it in a SilentBat in Sixty Seconds on my YouTube!



Peace.

Macs Macs Macs!, Sixteen Days Down

More year book preview pictures of the Visual Arts section:





[I will discuss my Mac madness today later.]



"Bishop G, they told me I should come down cousin, but I flatly refuse I ain't dumb down nothing!"

(You go Lupe! Don't dumb down anything!)



Peace.

Vista, Fifteen Days Down

Back to my own messy room :(




Congratulation to my friend Britt on turning 16 today!




A little domestic violence between Whoopi and Valerie over some salad.




You can call these pictures a sort of preview to the Visual Arts - Animation section of the yearbook.




Team work is key!



We had a homework assignment where we had to look out a window and draw everything we saw. So here is my penciled sketch/render of the outside of my window. I'd like to call it "Vista" (click images above for full resolution and size).

I'm going to leave out with a snipped from Friday:

Mr. Jones: What’s that?

*Points to the gun in CJ’s hand*

CJ: I got to walk Smokie to his house

Mr. Jones: Oh man, me and your mother would have never moved into this neighborhood if we knew you needed a gun to walk down he damn street.

CJ: You know how it is around here.

Mr. Jones: Oh no son that’s not the way it is. You kids today are nothin’ but punks, sissified, so quick to pick up a gun. You scared to take an ass-whippin’.

*Mr. Jones lifts fist*

Mr. Jones: This is what makes you a man. When I was growin’ up, this was all the protection we needed. You win some, you lose some. But you live, you live to fight another day. And you think you’re a man with that gun in your hand don’t you?

CJ: I’m a man without it.

Mr. Jones: Put the gun down. Come on put up your dukes.

*CJ puts up his fist*

Mr. Jones: Now you a man. Your uncle picked up a gun too. He had to find out the hard way. 22 years old. You got a choice. These all you need. Alright?

I'm going to get two or three Lupe songs in this weekend.

Peace.

The Massacre, Fourteen Days Down

Yes, I slept in a different bed so I took a picture it instead of my usual room. Get it?




I own yearbook staff!



After school went so well! I kept the children's over a little later than I want (30+ minutes) but it was all chill. They were really patient and were good sports about it. I messed up Alyssa's (bottom picture) name up so much though.

There was this lady on the first floor who was being a big jerk, staying in the shot and being difficult when we asked her kindly to move to the side a little. She was like "No! You have to pay me to be in the shot! What is this anyway? Is this some big production?" There was two things wrong with the things she said there. First off, I was trying to get her OUT the shot not IN! For her to say we should pay her to be in the shot was just her inability to hear us or her plain stupidity. Second, how could she even question if this was a big production when there were somewhere around seven extras behind me, Whoopi and me! Some people are just so difficult. But I think I handled it well . . . I let Whoopi deal with it! Thanks Whoopi!





NO! It is not a huge steering wheel. It's a bootleg steady cam, which works out really nicely.

The picture below are just images of Whoopi and me practicing or just messing around.





My grandmother picked us up and took Whoopi home.




Everybody say bye Whoopi!

The video below is sooo funny.



Peace.
