My Drink

Went over to Jeff's after class. Hung out in his room for awhile. Went to Smaks. Had some trouble with my drink. Man, am I hungry!

Probably hang out at Jon's tomorrow. He's got a new Elvan thief with, like, 21 dexterity!

An interesting night...

After dinner at Smak's last night (Hickory Burger, thank you very much), the folks took me by the Toon Shop to knock around. I bought a pair of new drum sticks to replace the ones I broke trying to free a Frisbee from the pin oak in our front yard.

My dad asked me to look at the drum sets and tell him which one I liked. I picked out a 5-pc set of RedSparklerz®. It came with an extra cymbal but no throne. It is a BEAUT! All red and sparkly. I sat down and played a few paradiddles and the sound was terrific. The bass drum pedal squeaked a little, but I'm sure a little WD-40 would take care of that easily enough.

They didn't buy the set. We stopped by Zarda Dairy for some butter brickle ice cream and no one said anything about the RedSparklerz®.

Makes me wonder if my folks might be trying to get me to ask for the drum set for Christmas instead of that new Atari game console.

Seems like a dirty trick to me.

I bought an album

Man! I wore out my favorite red white and blue tank top. Where will I get another one? They will never make American flag-themed clothing again now that the Bicentennial is over.

I cut Mrs. Lipp's lawn today. Used my $6.00 to buy my first record album, The Eagles "Hotel California."

How awesome is that? Wait. Do kids say "awesome" yet? Like other kids, I crave popularity among my peers. How embarrassing.

In Trouble

Mom's mad at me. I took apart our little toy organ. You know, the kind with the air pump in it, and after you push down a key it takes a moment or two before the note actually plays. Well, I wanted to see how it worked, so I took it apart.

All I did was take it apart and put it right back together. Honest.

But it didn't work afterwards. I don't know what the big deal is. It's not like you could actually use an organ like that in a band or anything.

Oh well.

I'm taking a break from G.I. Joe

I know most of us are only 5, but let's get a band together in about 12 years.
