Today was Sunday, May 31, 2009.

Today was awesome and sad at the same time. 

Either way, the sad part was first.

I had to get a haircut today. No aruing. So, we went to the haircut place (in a military base, so there was also a Von-equivalent and Target-equavalent next to it). Anywas, to get a haricut, you get a number, and then you wait for it. I grabbed my number, 31.  The electronic sign read: "Now serving: 82". So, it'd have to go to zero (100), then up to 30. Ok...wait wait wait...

Unfortunately, to some reason I won't divulge, I get skipped. Oh fine, I'll just grab another number: 85. "Now serving: 32" Fine, another 50-some to go...wait wait wait...

By this time it's already 3 o'clock and I haven't eaten lunch. "Now serving: 63" I rush over the the nearby food court, grab a "Crispy Chicken Sandwich Combo" to-go and run back. "Now serving: 78". That's enough time. I eat half of my sandwich and some fries, then head inside when it reads: "Now serving:84". So I'm standing there, and it changes to "Now Serving: 88". Honestly??!?! Change it when you say the number dang it! Oh well. I grab another number. 27. This time all I do is sit. Notheing else*. Just sit.

By the time I actually get my haircut, it's like, already really late. What's weird is I feel like I'm supressing a seizure the entire time. Honestly, it felt really weird. Don't ask. Eother way, I end up with a partiall misshappen haircut that barely did anything. Great. I would've been better off skipping it for another week.

Anyways, to recap, I waited ~4 hours, walked at least a half a mile (to pass time I helped my mom who was grocery shopping in the Vons-equavalent), experienced extreme hunger, and waited through ~<200>

The good:

I made my rover! I got together the remnants of my NXT set distributed over two boxes/three boxes/my room  and built a rover. It goes about 2/3 as fast as my robot, and about as quiet and a little lighter than Adam's rober/robot. And it's controlled by my computer over Bluetooth. If you care, it's awesome. If you don't, it's still awesome.

It also has a roll cage. Which survived a 2-foot fall. Awesome.

Enjoy this badly lit video and some pictures.

Here's the rover itself (with intact roll-cage):

And here it is after that two-foot fall (note deformed roll-cage; it's supposed to do that):

Have fun with the rest of your night!
