Museums and… Chess

Today, I got up at 9 in the morning to go to a museum with Jamie. It took an hour for us to get there, and we left at 10:30ish. We listened to songs on our iPods while Clara and her friend played with their DS’s in the very back.

When we got there, we looked at the trains, the planes, gene experiments, and we watched some baby chicks hatching. :D I think we must have circled the museum 50 times, because we ended up in a cow exhibit! We had to watch a 2 minute movie about the life cycle of corn. I mean, honestly, who cares, and why in the name of Hades would we need to know the life cycle of corn? All I need to know is that it tastes good with butter. :P

We finally got lunch. I think I must have forgotten to eat breakfast or something, because I was extremely cranky and had a bad headache before then. I had pizza and hot chocolate, and pudding for dessert. I would say the high point of the visit was the bathroom. Not kidding! It is sooo cool! We went in to wash our hands, and they have soap/water dispensers with light sensors, as well as the usual light sensor hand dryer. We spent a half hour watching the soap and water… and having a soap fight. :D Eventually, though, we were yelled at, and had to leave.

They had an enormous Christmas tree, along with a bunch of other smaller ones. We took pictures by a few of the smaller ones, and named the chicks. ^_^ They were soooo cute! We then went to a futuristic exhibit, then Jamie and me got scared of a statue, then we ran away and sat on a model airplane listening to our iPods, then her mom found us and we left.

Jamie’s mom missed her turn, so it took us longer to get home. We listened to our iPods and talked to each other and Clara and her friend. I called my mom when we left, and since we left a half hour late at 4:30, then took an hour and a half to get home, we got back at roughly 6:00. My mom said Jamie could stay over for a bit. :D We watched the new House MD episode from Tuesday(it was AMAZING!!! I LOVE guys with guns, they just make the movie. :D ), ate dinner and then… played chess. I beat her of course, as usual. I took every one of her pieces except her King, while I only lost about 6 pawns and a bishop. The bishop wasn’t an accident, either- it was a sacrifice, as were the pawns. ;) At the end, I got her in check mate, and she wouldn’t knock over her king, and my mom said we had to go bring her home, so she never did. She acts like such a jerk when she loses. Yeesh.

I might be going over her house on Saturday, though… and trust me, she is SO GONNA KNOCK OVER HER KING. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

:D

A few comments…
-Corn does taste really good with butter.
-It’s technically a TV show, not a movie. But guys with guns are kinda cool.
-You couldn’t come over on Saturday. :(
-When you came over on Sunday, we didn’t play chess. ;) I was just toying with you mind like a cat with string. String? Where! :D
-I’m not being a jerk. I said, “Great job, you won. But I won’t say I lost.”
-With chess, my dad says that if you go into check mate you don’t need to tip your king. You tip it if your surrendering earlier and just want to end the game ‘cuz you know you’re going to lose. I would much rather fight to the end, and lose anyway than give up. It’s like what I said in English. “If you’re going to do something bad, you might as well do it right.” So if you’re going to lose, you might as well fight ’til the death.
