good weekend

good weekend. i have to get away from school sometimes or else i'll never stop thinking about school (which i have to do everynow and then or else i'll go crazy). i got to spend some good time with my family (which i felt i hadnt seen them in forever) and jesse's.

jordan made a potato gun the other day and we messed with that for a few minutes on sunday. it's consistent of a pipe, an electric ignitor (like from a grill or something), and so sort of (im)flammable spray. well the first shot went about 30 ft, the next about 40-50ft. for the last one we (jordan) decided to spray a little more than we had previously (approx 2x-3x as much). click. . . click. . . BOOM! (at this point i think i shat myself.) we were standing outside my basement garage door. that potato shot past the back tree line, which is about 100 or more yards away. the handle of the gun blew off (i was holding the gun) and there was a good ringing in my left ear. it was the coolest thing ever.

i'm going to build a trebuchet catapult this summer. so if anyone wants to help, bring it. it's going to be awesome.

i also learned how to crochet this weekend and am currently underway in producing a scarf of many colors. it's pretty fun, and i picked it up fast.

i think we'll pay $2 and watch the Butterfly Effect tonight. i know it's supposed to not be good, but it's $2.
