But some people are unhappy and they become criminals.
Notice how they are wearing black? Most criminals like to wear black
because
at night you might not see them. I know there are a lot of criminals here
because my bike got stolen by one last year. That's why I'm borrowing my
friend's bike to bike around. Now I have to bike to school--it's a long
way and there are a lot of hills to go up and down. I'm just glad that
there are no mountains between my home and school. There are a lot of
mountains here.
In Vancouver, there is a lot of rain. That's why Niki and I use one of
these:
Maybe you will recognize it if you open it.
Niki and I have been living in Vanouver for many years. We have been
students here since before Jessie was born. We have a lot of stuff here.
In our new place we have a lazy-boy.
I probably use this more than I should. As well, we have my bean bag
chair (which was a birthday present when I turned 14).
Also with the picture of the bean bag chair, you can see Niki's desk.
It's
not very big, but compared to most people, neither is Niki. I think that
she is still bigger than both of you, though.
My work area is bigger than Niki's, but don't tell her. I use the
earthquake table as a desk.
We call it the earthquake table because if there was ever an
earthquake, the best place to be would be under it. It is made of cast
iron with a table top that is 3 cm thick. Someday, I may convert the
table
into a tank, but for now, I like to work on it. You may notice a
big hunk of steel under the earthquake table--that is a
Volker Craig terminal. It still works well but it probably is more useful
as a footstool. On top of the earthquake table you can see my
computer. It's called a Voyager and it lives up to its name. This
computer has been on 3 different continents!! Still, realistically, soon
this computer will be as useful as the Volker Craig. I guess it's
kind of like clothes, you either grow out of them or they just get too
worn out to wear.
When we talk on the phone we will be talking on this.
This is a very special phone. It's the swirl phone. You
probably have never seen one like it.
Instead of pushing buttons to tell the phone who you want to talk to, here
you turn the dial (the clear plastic thing with holes). When the dial
turns, the spiral on the dial has hypnotic effects. Sometimes when people
try to use our phone, they fall asleep. And other times, they start
barking
like a dog. Here's a short
clip
of the phone in action so that you can see what I mean.
The swirl phone is a fun phone. The swirl
phone only likes to talk with people and will not talk to computers
or
other funny devices. Oh well; no phone is perfect.
At home we end up playing a lot of games. We play lots of cards
(2-handed Euchre, Cardwise, Cribbage, and German Whist). We also play
Chess, Go, Diplomacy, and Yhatzee.
Here's a game for you... who is this?
It's this person.
Speaking of games, I made a game you might be interested in.
A special version of
CopyCat. Maybe you will have to wait for me to play
it, though.
Here's a game I play with my face. It's called
now you see it --
now you don't(psst! Look
for the beard.)
Also, if you look closely at the now you don't you'll see that
I
had my hair cut. Don't tell Grandma that I had someone else cut my hair.
Hopefully it will grow back by the time she comes to visit us, so she
won't notice. When she
comes, she will probably sleep on our futon.
I'll have some more stuff soon.
