Migration of baby crows.

In our backyard. Nothing but hundreds of small, black birds, shooting through the trees, picking at the ground--thankfully not making any noise--and finally moving on to Eddie and Joanne's house next door. Never seen something like that before. XD;

This after seeing a woodpecker and wanting to take a picture of it, and having both my parents tell me, "Forget the camera--get something with a scope." I keep forgetting woodpeckers damage trees. It's a thin tree, but it'll still cause damage to the house if it falls on us.

I'm curious about that garden spider from last week, and whether or not it's still on its web, hee. Think I'll go see later. Dare I say it, I think I actually LIKE the thing. CJ, liking a spider. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's just... pretty, or something. Like, it's not a normal spider. It has a design to it. (And the zigzag web it weaves is awesome. XD) I'll bring my camera out and see if I can get good shots of it.

Craig and Matt are still asleep. I was supposed to wake Craig up as soon as I got up, but I think I'll let it wait for a while. There's no rush. Eddie is the one that said Matt could spend the night, no Joanne, so he didn't say anything about Matt coming home first thing in the morning.

I played a demo of Nintendogs. Watch me get a Nintendo DS just for that. I mean, I'll pick up the other games I'm interested in later, but watch me get one for the puppies. Just watch. You have no idea how hard it is to stop awwing around all those people. XD; I was playing with the golden retriever... and I really love that game, because I think that's the one game I've played on the DS so far that doesn't really need the D-pad. It's not easy playing that system with the stylus in your left hand. I couldn't play Metroid Prime: Hunters because of it. It's going to end up being one of those things I have to learn with my right hand, like I learned to throw a ball with my right hand. (I throw okay with my left, but much better with the right. I think someone right-handed taught me... probably Dad.) I imagine it won't be too hard, it's not like writing right-handed... ^^;;

And right next to it was Paperboy and Rampage for the GBA. $15. Forgot ALL about it when we were leaving... but I just spent nearly $100 today, and still didn't get a pair of jeans like I wanted, so I'll leave it for next paycheck. I'm not spending money on anything else but next week's commute and lunch.

We got a new car--a Sonata. Mom has a bad feeling about our 13-year-old Voyager, and I don't blame her. It's old, and it's held on for a long time, but it has to die sometime. We're going to keep it since it still runs pretty smoothly, but Dad and Craig need something newer that has less of a chance of screwing up on them.

Bought Eragon. I know it's a young adult's novel, but I've been curious (magic + dragons = happy CJ)... and Harry Potter is supposed to be, too, hehe. Mom told me that the second novel has a printing error, but only in the first 1,000 copies or so... It has something entirely different in it around the hundredth page or something. I don't know what the "something different" is, though. I don't know if it's from a different book, or a different section of THAT book, or what. Still, expect to see them on eBay. I'm trying to find one myself. Doubtful I will (I think it's too late--it's been out for a little while now), but I'll try...

Sleep soon. I love the energy of this song, but it's not enough to keep me awake. XD;
