We need 5 people to be interviewed over the course of our next season of L.S.A.R.S., starting October 1st! If you have any way to get in contact with me/my mom/my dad, and want to appear on the show, singing, quiz, or interview, comment here! Leave your e-mail and I will have my secretary (Haha, not even 16 and I have a secretary! I can't get over it, I feel so important.) contact you back and see whether or not you made it. Only 5 people will be selected, so act fast!

P.S. Yeah, a secretary! WOOT! A SECRETARY! I AM SO COOL!
Number 3 is out, just thought I'd let you know.
Our first one was good, so we went ahead and made this second one. Strange, the sound quality is bad, and the clone interview dialog was cut so all you hear is my clone dying. (Note: If you want to see the spoiler, highlight the blank text there. Otherwise, listen to it yourself. Hang in there while we fix it...

I don't get why Disney goes to such great lengths to prevent bad things. Kids aren't influenced by TV or anything, it's all parents and friends. I can tell you one thing: teenagers don't say "snap", "darn", and "oh man". Also, there's the fact of how they want to keep sex from youths, which I can't say is a bad thing. It will help prevent rape and underage sex, probably. But still, even having people there implies that someone must have had sex, either that on some cloning has been going on, both are very controversial issues to some people. Why even have shows at all, when there are people? That's just wrong!

I bought a TAG Body Shot thing today, and it actually smells pretty good. But with suggestive names like "After Hours" or "Wild Card", what twelve-year-old pre-pubescent boy WOULDN'T want one? I read the ingredients as well. Not only does it make you sweat more, but it contains the delightful scent of PROPANE!!! Apparently I am not supposed to inhale this due to brain damage possibility, and the relatively low mortality rate. And it's flammable too, thanks to the fuel they put in it. Maybe next year they'll make Speed Stick tar deoderant, gasoline AXE spray, or maybe diesel shampoo.

(Note: All prejudice in this was actually put out by Dish Network, I am merely copying what I have seen. As you probably know, I am extremely open-minded about most issues.) I only hate Dish Network for one reason, and that is the Starz Movie package. The commercials feature a stereotypical husband, a stereotypical black woman, and the man's wife. The black woman has a very arrogant expression on her face, bearing her lips to a very wide extent, and the husband is always doing something stupid (example: building a time machine from a bike, or making a comedy club or movie theater out of some rickety shed), while the black woman continually files her nails and blows on them, calling the husband stupid, and the wife continues to not care. Here is an approximate drawing of the situation:

What is with this? ONLY NOOBS SPELL IT "n00b"!!!!! It's not cool, it's not funny, it's not cute! It just marks you as a noob! Noob is a term used to refer to the bad kind, the good kind being newb or newbie. A noob or noobie is an idiot new person, who feels the rule book isn't necessary, only launching several large lag attacks on the server. Please, stop with the n00bing. It was cool for 2 days. 2 years ago.

My podcast episode is up in mp3 form! L.S.A. Studios presents...L.S.A.R.S. Pilot!!!
-Lane
P.S. Next weeks will be better! This was just a pilot, tell me what you think!
Sorry about the difficulties getting L.S.A. Podcast up, we are having some problems with our interview-ees dropping out from fear. On the bright side, we should have it up by Friday, and we hope to be as popular as Scott McCloud's 11 and 13 year old daughters are. They are my age, but with a famous parent :) Scott came to speak at R.I.T. the other day, which is where my mom works. She was even going to go to the lunch where she would have met him, but didn't. I think his show sounds interesting and would love to hear more about it, so if you search Web Search stats like I do to see external links, Scott, maybe you'll find this page and leave a comment. If not, maybe I can dig up an e-mail address of yours, because I have some questions to ask you.

Although it means posting twice in one evening, this has to be said. My site was found in Google with the search term "how do you make your tamagotchi have a baby". I don't get why people ask the stupid search engine full questions, it is a search engine! You use keywords to find information. Maybe tomorrow I will ask Google what I am going to be when I grow up. There should be some rule against this.

Here are some games I have bought, and what I think of them, including a verbal review and a rating from a scale of 1 (great) to 10 (Jay Leno).
Game 1: Star Wars Battlefront 2
This game would be great if it weren't for the Star Wars part of it. A nice, solid war game like this (where lasers become bullets, and spaceships become jets) for the PS2 would earn a 1, but for now, this will do.
Rating: 3
Game 2: Lego Star Wars 1
Bought on a stupid thought it might be a good game, not the fact that I am a Star Wars nerd, which I am not, this game disappointed me to a certain extent. The fact that when you lose all of your health and die, you simply respawn in the same place you died, is too forgiving for me. You never get game over, since there are unlimited lifes, and the graphics are on the far end of horrible.
Rating: 7
Game 3: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
What can be said about this game besides amazing? You find yourself ignoring the mediocre graphics once you begin stealing people's rocket launchers to wreak havoc on anyone who makes comments about you on the street. You can jack cars, steal weapons, kill anyone, jetpack on top of anything, and blow up helicopters to your hearts content, in an entire, scale sized, thriving, intelligent city with amazing highway simulation. It's as if you were really driving, every now and then someone getting pulled over, or if you are walking on the sidewalk at night, about a 1/10 chance you will be slammed by a drunk driver.
Rating: 2
Game 4: Star Wars Episode 3 Video Game
I know what you are thinking, one of the 4 Star Wars games I own must classify me as a loser who can't stop watching the 1st edition movie DVDs he owns, and who's room is filled with figurines of the Death Star and whatnot, but you are wrong. Most of these games I hate, including this one. Extremely short, not relating to the movie at all, no one dies like they did, crappy texture and models, horrible sound, and okay lightsaber graphics. The fact that half of the game (literally) is on Grievous' Ship, imagine what the rest must be like. No, don't imagine. You might have to run to the bathroom and do who knows what.
Rating: 9
Games 5, 6, 7, and 8 (or the entire Jak & Daxter series): Pretty good in general. The first game was a little weak in storyline and gameplay, but had an excellent follow-up by Jak II, with an amazingly cool storyline, pretty good graphics, and mediocre gameplay. Almost matching Jak II was Jak 3, with amazing gameplay, pretty good graphics, and the worst storyline I've ever seen. Wow, the enemy I've already killed is back? What a surprise! Oh, and he made friends with the other 2 teams of bad guys, how original! And he's a cyborg too? Wow! When will Naughty Dog cease to amaze me? Basically the entire game is based on random stories all weakly stitched together by a giant boss which is a snake poking out of a crashed spaceship. But, the 12 guns, 2 different forms Jak can transform into with the press of a button, and many cheats I activated with my GameShark made it a great experience of gameplay.
Rating (average, for the whole series): 4
There you have it. Nothing was QUITE Jay Leno bad, but I have plenty more games I don't want to post right now because I am tired and lazy. Maybe if you want the reviews bad enough, you'll get them.

So I recorded myself dancing with enthusiasm to Bohemian Rhapsody, but decided to delete it in hopes that no one would ever find my "dark secret". :^) If anyone wants to see it or doesn't want to see it, post a comment here. I will check back next Friday and we will go with the majority.

(Sorry about the typos, I fixed them. Still getting used to my MacBook Keyboard :) )
I want to make millions like Steve Jobs, and I have a plan! Okay, first I'll access the secret military spy satellite that is in geosynchronous orbit over the U.S. Then I'll ID Apple HQ and get his approximate position. Then I'll reposition the transmission dish on the remote truck to 17.32 degrees east, hit WESTAR 4 over the Atlantic, bounce the signal back into the aerosphere up to COMSAT 6, beam it back to SATCOM 2 transmitter number 137 and down on the dish on the back of Steve Job's limo... It's almost too easy. We have to only hope his limo breaks down from the electronic jams we'll send, and I can fly a jet down to his position and take him into cargo holding, after which we will bring him to my basement and interrogate him until he gives us the plans and source code for Mac OS X Leopard and *I* can make billions! But considering that I am not even old enough to drive, I doubt I can get a pilot's liscense, not get put in juvenile detention for accessing military satellites, and succeed in hiring a crew of interrogators without being laughed at to a certain extent.

Sadly, I was only in 2nd grade at the time of the attack on the World Trade Center, and so I don't remember much. What I do remember is being mad at the teachers for cancelling our "Fall Fling" because of it. I didn't understand what was going on, but now I do. Because of George W. Bush's attempt at making us the most violent country on the planet, we were the target of that terrorist attack, as we will also be the target of the next one. And the next one. What is up with this whole "peace" thing? This is not peace, this is war! Wake up America, if we leave them alone, they will leave us alone! Otherwise, it is a constant waste of the human race through draft, and we end up with an empty planet floating in the middle of space, and one less intelligent life form inhabiting the galaxy. Stop this now, or the screaming, crying, and death will all repat itself.

Lane's Specifically Awesome Radio Show*! Yet another reason to look foward to Fridays, L.S.A.R.S. is a new podcast that combines your favorite songs, interesting interviews, and hilarious quizzes into one 15 minute show! They will be on iTunes, available for download and playing straight off my server. Please note that they may take a while to load, but are well worth it :)
Back to school! Interviewing co-star Jackson Sadowski about his experiences and quizzing him on our district's school names, along with randomly selected songs! Don't forget to tune in!
Something went wrong with my post, so you may see some typos that happened and the server won't let me fix. Sorry about that!
I am sorry if you are offended by this article, but I just need to say it and it is a free country. I do not think it is fair that anyone should discriminate against anyone based on sexual orientation. The other day a parent's friend forbidded us to watch MTV because it showed a show where two girls went on a date. I know man of you are Christian/Catholic, but just because the bible says something doesn't mean it should be part of your lifestyle. Many people can be religious without believing one thing. The bible says eating shellfish is an abomination, but I don't see anyone widely enforcing that. Religion is believing in something, usually without proof that this thing/higher power even really exists at all. Anyone reading this that doesn't support of same-sex marriage or dating, what if your own son/daughter were gay? Would you kick them ot of the house, stop talking to them, or call them "an abomination", like the bible? You are greatly closing a part of your children's future, and many interesting people away from them by doing this. And imagine if they were gay, but couldn't tell you? Think how it would feel to know your parents don't approve of something, but they are doing it anyways. Being gay is not a choice. You either are or you aren't. Just like IQ, race, eye color, etc. Please remember, if you have moral objections of any kind to gay people, don't make your kids feel the same way. Otherwise they will end up exactly the way you are, and the world will not be as peaceful a place. Make your own decisions, but don't make your kids. This is a very impressionable time in their life, and most people who don't approve of homosexuality were raised that way. Make a difference, and encourage open thought on the subject, or I don't know what the world will do.
