Summer 2008: the Story so far...

Hey hey hey! This old blog must be dusty, hein?
WOW. So many things happened -- and of course -tehehehe- are happening this summer.
I've been learning how to drive, since I now have I got my permit. Very cool. I've been cooking alot - been learning how to make and been making pommes frites, pizza, curries. I've been doing not much for my webpage, but some. I went to two exciting places with my dad: Antwerp, Belgium and Telluride, Colorado! I've been watching the Beijing Olympics, of course. Watching Saturday morning cartoons has been a must-do on Saturday mornings. I'm also an intern for a community center, which is a fun job. Also have been playing Wii, of course. Hanging out with new friends. Et cetera.

In Europe, I actually went to three places, in this order -- Antwerpen, BE > Amsterdam, NL > Brussels, BE. In Antwerpen and Amsterdam, I learned Dutch, which is spoken by 55% of Belgians. French is spoken by about 45%. It's a beautiful country. Lots of chocolate, churches, architecture, and comics there. Belgium is actually the most widely-proven birth place of les pommes frites ( 'cuz calling them "french-fried potatoes" is for silly americans). The frites are the best there. The way they make them there is that they fry them twice and cut them a bit more thick than in America. They also like 'em with mayonaise, which is tastier than it sounds.

What else?

This summer, I've also been working as an intern at a community center. A non-pay job, but it's very cool: get to meet new people, made a cool poster for them with school mascots, and even go to local concerts with them.

Also, finally, I made a new cartoon. Here she be!

Also jack has a new blog about living in a new place. Here's the link: here!

Anyways, I'll be leaving. I'm watching the Olympics, now. Bye!!

Things I Gave People for Christmas '07.

Hello. Midterms right now. Surprisingly fun.
Before I even think of making a new, more intellectual post, I'll list the rest of the things I gave people for X-Mas, since I told you guys I would.

Leah, my sister: a silly crown and a princess peach cellphone charm... AND Dance Dance Revolution for the Wii !!!!
A friend at my new high school: The DVD of the high school play Scapino! (wrapped in my old house's wallpaper.)
My Mom: Scapino! DVD
Dad: A signed version of a very big poster I made, before I published it.
A friend in Boston: Metroid on the Wii Virtual Console.
A teacher at my new highschool: Arizona and Cactus pepper shakers (since he was from Arizona)
"Sikon" (another friend in Boston): a signed comic strip I made.
A third friend in Boston: A gift card to EBGames/ Gamestop.
A fourth Bostonian: a signed comic strip I made.

Yeah. I gave alot of stuff away for christmas.
I actually got some benefit from the DDR I gave Leah. I could post a YouTube video of it on this computer, but YouTube is actually blocked on these school campus computers.

However, I did make a christmassy comic, though:

XMAS 2007: The Story So FAR.

Yo, it's me, Eben "Frostey" again!
This year, I'm finally getting/ making X-Mas presents for people. I've been quite generous, considering the lack of presents I've gave previous years. I'll release some information about the presents, since there were some already opened by these particular people:

(my sister): a silly crown and a princess peach cellphone charm (BIGGER PRESENT IS SECRET!)
(a friend at my new high school): The DVD of the high school play Scapino! (wrapped in my old house's wallpaper.)
(a friend in boston): Metroid on the Wii Virtual Console.

Etc, etc. I should probably make the full list of presents after X-Mas.
So, anywaze. What's been up with me? Not much. Not alot of homework. Starting tomorrow is X-Mas break. Goin' skiing on christmas eve. I miss snow. :( I got the pleasant surprise of the break ending on Jan. 8th, 2008, rather than the 3rd (or, if possible, the 2nd!!). Recently made a comic for someone's x-mas present. I'll post it after x-mas (the non-signed, non-specialized version). I have yet to update my webpage. There's a cartoon I've been waiting to publish. I'm using a school computer, so I can't right now.
I'm probably gonna take a trip back to Boston sometime mid- January. I miss the snow. And the friends. And the pizza. And the culture. And the being - able - to - walk - to - somewhere - interesting - in - less - than - a - few - minutes! Sighh...
Well anyway. I gotta go to my next period pretty soon. (Long lunch, ftw!!) Toodle-loo!
