Dear Die-ary...

I doodled some horses today. There they be^. That last one looks like a friggin' donkey with a haircut. Er, mane-cut. Well, the horse in the picture didn't seem to have one anyway. Oh, and that galloping horse had 2 butt-cracks in the picture. Click it to see every stray line and mistake I've done.

So today? Not bad. Not bad at all!! For the past week, I have been so incredibly bored. And then I found out that a whole week has past since our last day of term. But yes, I've had nothing to do all week, including today. I mean, yesterday, I decided to start reading a story about a unicorn. Yes, a unicorn. Seriously, I've had nothing better to do. READ IT HERE, NOW!! ...or not. It's an online version of a book, called "The Last Unicorn". I have seen the movie (a quote from it is in the roll-over text for that horse picture), yeah, WHEN I WAS 5 YEARS OLD. In fact, I still have it. Or, to be more correct, my Grandad has it. I have nothing against "The Last Unicorn", except for the name. I know that it's to the point and all, but including 'unicorn' makes it sound... childish? You know what I'm talking about? Now, I'll tell you of a similar story to it, which has mythical creatures and all. However, the names for it are better (there are two names for it). The names: "The Battle for Cockatrice castle," or more commonly, "The talking parcel". I haven't read it all yet, because my brother stole it from me. But I've seen the movie. Both stories are similar, but which would you rather read?

But I digress. Back to today. Every day I had to go to my Grandad's, to water his tomato plants. Easy job, takes 5 minutes or less. But I stay there for 6 hours. And today was no different. However, today he offered to help me get out some old amiga equipment, which we asked him to look after a couple of years ago. So for an hour or two, we hauled out bits of computer mouse, games, keyboards, and one giant monitor. OH THAT BLEEDING MONITOR. It was stuck inside its box, jammed by styrofoam. We tried everything to get it out, and eventually it did come out. But it left shredded bits of styrofoam everywhere. Never mind, it came out. And after plugging it all in, it WORKED!! We slotted a game in, called, "Captain Blood," (it sounded good), and it was working as good as if it were new. Unfortunately I didn't know how to play it, but, uh... Anyway, there's one problem. No sound. However, I have 2 conclusions for that. 1 ~ That game doesn't have sound anyway. Or 2 ~ Something was not plugged in right, and if it wasn't, I know what it would be anyway.

My Dad came to pick me up, as usual. He had some good, and bad, news. The good news is that... YAY!! My Homestar Runner things have arrived!! The bad news is that the postman came shortly after I left to go to Grandad's, so it's currently stored away in the post office. But my Grandad also had good news - Tomorrow he's taking me to Wimborne. This is where the post office is. And I had bad news, just to contribute - due to the large order, the box may not fit in the bus. And we can't walk, because Grandad has arthritis in his knee. Ah, what the crap, it's worth a shot.

BANG.
