Ok, I think this is so funny. Remember that physics project I had to do? I made a really stupid poster with a picture of a rocket on it and everyone else made cool, functioning mobiles. I put absolutely no effort into it. Well, I turned it in today and Mr. Newbery said to me, "oh, I like this one - this one is great," and gave me extra credit. Whatever, I'll take it. ..... oh my god I think that is so funny.

Bradley update: still no meeting with Mrs. Bradley.... I guess that's not happening. She told me today that she would finally clear my "cut." I still hate her.

My mom has been taping every new show that comes on. There's about twenty different ones that she's trying out. I think most of them sound pretty dumb, though. I only watch Lost, but that won't be on again till February. In the meantime I've been watching America's Next Top Model with Tyra Banks. I think it's fun to see how mean and dumb some girls can be. It's actually quite entertaining. Some of the girls are really nice, and those are the ones I root for. One of them has Asberger's disease. Someone in my zoo volunteer group over the summer had that. It's a mild form of autism, and this girl on the show is alienated by the others. I don't know how long she will last. I don't think she's that attractive either.

I watched another Man vs. Wild the other night. This time Bear ate a dead sheep's eyeball. He found a sheep, dead, randomly, and decided to eat its eyeball. He was in Iceland. I don't know if I can keep watching this show. It makes me want to throw up.

But Bear is nothing compared to Les Stroud on Survivorman. Bear takes a camera crew with him and only stays out there for a couple days. Sure, he's more adept at catching food and sure, he has climbed Everest, but he brings matches and lighters to start fires. Les brings no one, films himself, and survives for an entire week. He doesn't bring any stupid matches. While in the Arctic Les attempted to make an igloo but failed and slept unprotected one night. When he woke up the next morning he found fresh polar bear tracks about six feet from his bed. Pretty scary. He also slept unprotected in Africa, in prime lion and leopard territory. Bear came across some alligators while in the Georgia swamps, but he didn't sleep with them.

Les also spares his audience the disgusting factors of surviving. He hates to kill animals and never shows himself doing that. He doesn't show himself gutting and skinning his food. Bear just does it for everyone to see, stabbing his knife into a turtle, skinning a dead deer, and breaking a rabbit's neck. I guess he does it for shock value. Well, it certainly is very shocking.

------ I'm trying to look for my Jersey Boys CD but I can't find it. Oh, well. It must be someplace.

Anyway, here's a clip of Bear eating a dead zebra. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdkX7KG-tlg. (Bear, you're not a lion.)
