Typewriter

I was watching the Sting the other night. When my dad came home, he told me to go see what is on the back table. It was a Brother electric typewriter. When I plugged it in, it worked. The only thing doesn't work on it is the correcting tape. I looked all over for correcting tape but I couldn't find any. Finally, my grandpa found one on the Internet. It seems that the people that work in the office stores don't know what typewriters are.

Photoshop CS5

My grandparents arrived today. With them, they brought Photoshop 7.0, CS2, and CS5. I upgraded my 6.0 to CS5. My grandpa showed my how to make a panorama out of multiple photographs. I also figured out how to make objects disappears from photos by hitting the delete button.

Snow! Snow! Snow!

During the the week of February 14, it rained 2 inches. It snowed over 3ft. in Tahoe and snowed 6 in. in the Santa Cruz mountains. Hwy 17 was never closed, they had snowplows. Mt. Tam got 5 in. of snow too, so did Mt. Diablo and Mt. Hamilton. That's a lot of snow in unusual places.

No Horse (for now)

After a year of vet bills and training bills, we finally sold our half of Django (our old horse) to our friend that owns the other half of Django.

Shooting

Last Thursday, my dad and I went shooting to try out my brand new 22 caliber riffle. The riffle has absolutely no kick and the lever action is very smooth. We through two boxes of bullets.

Disaster on Skyline

On New Year's Eve day, my mom and I were going (horse) riding with our friend Curt at Skyline Ridge open space preserve. When we got there we all got out of the truck to get the horses out of the trailer. The first horse came out perfectly. Then, my mom went into the trailer to push out the second horse. But, he was not untied, as he was supposed to be. He started to back out of the trailer, but his rope became taught. He sat on his back legs and then lunged forward. His front legs went up, then down, and his hoof went right down into my mom's face. She was bleeding by her hairline her, right eye, and her left eye. Our friend Curt helped my mom at first. About five minutes later, an Open Space ranger drives into the parking lot. When she looked at my mom she decided to call the fire department. About five minutes later, two fire trucks came in, followed by two additional rangers. They decided to take her to Stanford Hospital. Then, the sheriff and an ambulance arrived. Shortly after the ambulence left with my mom, Curt and I took the horses back to the barn and from the barn we would go to Stanford. When we got to Stanford Hospital my mom was almost ready to go home. They told us that she had a broken nose and they gave her stitches in three places. The next day she had two horribly black eyes, a swolen nose that was various shades of yellow, green, and mulberry which matched the shirt she was wearing perfectly. Talk about accessorizing!

Today, she has big purple things under her eyes.

Webcam

For Christmas I also got a webcam, but, it didn't work on my computer, so we returned it and got another one. The second one didn't work either, so I checked my computer to see if I have service pack 2 (upgrades for service pack 1). I didn't and I could not install it. We took the computer to best buy to run diagnostics. They found that I had a bad hard disk. I decided that getting a new computer would be better, so I got a brand new Dell Inspiron 14" display laptop. It has 451 GB hard drive and 4GB RAM. It is really fast. I am very happy about it.

iPad

For Christmas I got an ipad. It's great. I have my e-mail and Internet on it. It's a nice thing to have because it is very portable, long battery life and sufficient memory (16 GB/32 GB/64 GB). I like it a lot.

Photoshop

Today, I put Adobe Photoshop 5.0 on my computer. It was designed in the 90's, but it's working very well. I am very Happy.

Feelings

I am sick and tired of hearing about other peoples feelings. Everyday at school I hear about how I hurt someone's feelings. I can't take it anymore. It's just like taddle tailing but worse. They say take risks, but it is impossible to to so without hurting someone's feeling. It is the babiest thing every.
