Airships are in the news today, with a big article in the NY Times about the latest uptick of commercial interest in lighter-than-air transport.
Of course, somebody’s always trying to reanimate Zeppelins, but so far all those attempts have ended in failure (except as tourist attractions). So why would anyone think that this time will be different?
Well, here’s the thing about airships: they float, so you don’t expend energy to keep them in the air. They move much slower than planes, but they eat less fuel per pound carried. As oil becomes more expensive—not to mention destructive to our planet and our foreign policy—that advantage becomes bigger, and bigger, and bigger . . .
So maybe airships aren’t viable right now. But does anyone think that in the long term, oil’s going to get cheaper? Sure! Because the middle east will stabilize, the Chinese will decide they don’t really want cars, and Americans are going to stop wasting fuel at every possible opportunity! But just in case that stuff doesn’t happen, we may find Zeppelins in our future. The French post office is already looking at them for freight transport, as is DARPA, the US military’s mad-scientist group.
There are lots of cool pictures in the article, but one really caught my eye. A French architect named Jean-Marie Massaud has designed a lighter-than-air hotel that looks a bit like a whale. As you might suspect from the title, so does the airship in Leviathan!
I’m still sworn to secrecy on Leviathan art, but here’s Massaud’s vision:

Pretty cool, huh?
Here’s the slide show for the article.
Must write now. At 56,717 words, about 20,000 to go!
July 6th, 2008 05:33
I like zeppilens
their just scary
July 6th, 2008 05:35
yay
new book soon
wait, is that 2,000 words
or 20,000
20,000 seems right, but 2,000 welcome ofcourse
July 6th, 2008 05:45
the mad scientist group… haha
that zepplin looks so cool im going to go kick a plane 20,000 words that wouold make me want to hurl
July 6th, 2008 06:20
That looks cool…and totally like something out of a science-fiction novel!
July 6th, 2008 06:33
that zeppelin is awesome.
July 6th, 2008 06:34
thats reallly cool. i hope people start realizing that we can’t base every thing on oil. we need to find other resources.
yeah! top five!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
=))))
July 6th, 2008 06:48
Wait, your novel are only 75,000 words? Oh my God, I was so misinformed about the appropriate length of a novel. Unless I wasn’t?
July 6th, 2008 06:56
that is one fawesome zeppelin!
yay Leviathan!
July 6th, 2008 07:16
All the Zeppelin talk always reminds me of the Thursday Next books (by Jasper Fforde), where they don’t have airplanes but they do have airships. Fun times.
July 6th, 2008 08:05
And, in defense (for unknown reasons, i just typed that the British way, with ‘c’. odd.) of zeppelins, along with all the fuel advantages, there’s the other important factor. THEY’RE AWESOME.
Seriously. Plane? Car? Dull. Zeppelin? Awesome. Fawesome.
Almost there! Well, not really, but that’s more than halfway! A majority! A large majority! Five sevenths to the end!
…and yeah, 75,000 is about normal length for a book. YAs usually aren’t much more than 80K, 75 is average, and a novel only technically needs to be 50,000 to officially be a novel. Yes, i look these things up on Wikipedia. You got a problem with that?
also, i can’t wait to see the Levithan art. or read the book, for that matter. release…date…so…far…away….
July 6th, 2008 08:12
It really does look like a whale! That’s amazing! I would definitely want to stay there.
July 6th, 2008 08:21
Awesome looking Zeppelin. And yeah… Thursday Next…

i love it when i get comment thirteen
July 6th, 2008 08:46
PS I made Midnighters fan art… go check it out… not that this is a Midnighters post but still.

July 6th, 2008 09:47
Oooh yay top 20! That Zeppelin looks neat! It really does look like a whale. True, attempts at reviving Zeppelins have failed before (like the Hindenburg disaster) but who knows? Especially with our current fuel source doing more harm than good.
July 6th, 2008 10:20
Wow, that’s totally fawesome scott-la! Can’t wait for Leviathan!
July 6th, 2008 10:33
Can you back order it yet
July 6th, 2008 11:04
Wow! I would love to float around the world in a giant whale!
<3
July 6th, 2008 11:24
Coolness!
July 6th, 2008 14:36
very cute little airship in the picture!
July 6th, 2008 14:36
I know Justine’s explained it before, but really? What’s the fascination with how mant words you’ve written? Pages! Seems like they would be more exciting.
July 6th, 2008 14:44
Hillary!: Pages don’t tell you anything. Depending on the font any number of words can fit on a page. I can format a 60 thousand word document so that it’s 300 pages long or 400 or 700 or whatever. It’s just not a very useful measure.
July 6th, 2008 14:50
On my english assignments I never use apostrophes.
I don’t know why I said that other then.
I like cheese.
July 6th, 2008 15:13
Haha, the irony of a floating whale in the sky…. HA!
lol thats so cool, i would so want to go in it, but think about the $$$ in that.
Well done on your words, and to motivate you, think about all that FUN editing that your gonna do when its finised!
XX
July 6th, 2008 16:47
Yay ok its 20,000 its not THAT much
well Scott-sama has already wrote 56 thousand so 20,000 is so close
July 6th, 2008 17:34
The only real problem with zeppelins is speed. Especially speed against the wind in not-so-great weather. Air travel is supposed to be inherently faster than driving or taking a boat. Not many would take a flight from NY to LA that took most of a week. Certainly not the business travellers.
Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle talked about a wind-powered cruise liner. The technology was doable, it was luxurious, economical, and “green.” But not many people could, or would, sign up for a cruise that might take an extra week. Likewise I wouldn’t think many people would take a zeppelin ride that would take days instead of hours. At the time zeppelins were trying to compete commercially, their main competition was ocean liners.
Pity. That concept picture is beautiful. I live near an airport and I’d far rather see those drifting across my sky than noisy business jets.
Also sir Scott sir, please put an observation bubble on top of your zeppelins. Imagine a night flight with a gorgeously uninterrupted view of the stars, uncorrupted by city lights and low-altitude haze. I can’t imagine that the engineering issues of putting a sealed spiral staircase between the lower decks and an observation bubble would be that difficult.
P.S. When I win/make a billion dollars, you and Justine can come tootle around Michigan with me in my personal zeppelin. I’ll make sure it has full ‘net access so you can still write.
July 7th, 2008 01:34
I 100% agree that this is a viable alternative, and I hope we see the implementation of that idea very soon
July 7th, 2008 02:57
My, god! This is the third time in a row that i have logged into this site soon after scott had posted a new topic. I’m going to go actually read it now. lol
July 7th, 2008 03:01
wow, the whale looking blimp thing looks beautiful
July 7th, 2008 03:33
That a cool looking airplane blimp thingy.
I know i havent been on in a while. I have been doing a lot. working and playing Sims 2. I made a person that is me. Yep. I have twins that are just about to be toddlers (Jared and Anabella) and then i have a baby or babies on the way. There is no way to tell. Goshness. i should have spread them out more! O well. I am going to go play. ttyl.
Oh and i may not be on a lot next week cause i have some work and i am redoing my bathroom so…
July 7th, 2008 04:54
Bran-la, here a Sims2 cheat I like to use- If you want to make sure you have twins, you can put in the cheat forcetwins throughout the pregnancy. I think, from experience, you have to do it while she’s in labor though, it’s worked almost everytime for me, but only a few times for my sister. But it defidently helps.
i love having cheats… lol.
gah I hate it when this happens to me, like it did DURING CHURCH this morning-
I don’t know why, it has something to do with blood pressure, but I get antsy. Then I get cold and hot at the same time, like a cold sweat kinda. Then my hearing gets completely blocked, and everything sounds muffled and i start blacking out. I had to get up from the third pew with my dad to go out of the church into the fresh air. It’s awful, and was the third time it happened to me like that. I was in my 2nd grade class the first time, which happened to be while my teacher was talking about a girl who tripped with a pencil facing up and she ended up stabbing herself with it, and then either 2nd or 3rd grade at the vet’s office waiting for my dog to get her stitches taken out. I was beginning to thinkthat it was because of gross stuff (i.e. at the vet waiting for my dog to get her stitches out then hearing her yelp). But there was nothing gross going on, I was just kneeling and it started. I also get mini-ones when I get up sometimes, I start blacking out. Sometimes it’s just barley enough to be noticable, sometimes it’s almost all the way. I wish it would stop, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do. Anyone else ge this?
July 7th, 2008 05:28
Hey, final fantasy games – video games – have airships, only, they look something like this:

July 7th, 2008 06:26
that is so fool!
July 7th, 2008 06:53
You know, if they’d hurry up and invent hovercars and hoverboards, we wouldn’t have all these environmental and economical problems caused by gas.
July 7th, 2008 08:10
AHH! I had to delete my family and make a new one! When my twins turned into toddlers THEY WERE UGLY! So i deleted them. Made a new one where i was…welll…still beautiful. Cause i just am! Yep. but i am goign to have to move cause my house only has one bedroom. I am not having ugly kids now. My husband looks better…WAY better than the other one. All though the other one wasnt ugly…he just made ugly kids. Yep. All his fault.
Emily-wa – You can also eat cheese cake. Thats how i had twins.
July 7th, 2008 08:39
That sucks Emily-wa…I don’t really know anything to do about it though…
July 7th, 2008 08:45
Wow, that’s actually a good idea. Yay for someone being smart:)
French, you get one awesome point! Lol.
I can’t imagine that the airships would be able to carry much cargo though, so that would probably put it at a disadvantage. Hopefully it’ll still equal out to less fuel needed in the end, even with all the extra trips needed to transport everything. Though I suppose that if they were to ship some of the cargo by plane and such, and then just use the airships for some of it, it’d still save alot of fuel. People just need to get over the “We want it right this very second or the world will end” mind set.
Hopefully it’ll all work out and actually do some good:)
July 7th, 2008 08:53
I like Sims2. Hmmmmmmm. Anyone on?
July 7th, 2008 09:31
ANYONE?
July 7th, 2008 09:59
Fool zeppelin. Keep writing Scott-la! You’ll get there.
July 7th, 2008 10:01
I am
July 7th, 2008 10:20
Are you still on?
July 7th, 2008 10:37
Aw, no one is on.
July 7th, 2008 11:08
Honestly, where are you people???
July 7th, 2008 11:26
I is here!
Hmm… anyone here heard of the book “Scary States of America” by micheal “Jason” Teitelbaum? It’s really interesting- one paranormal story from each state. Sofar it’s been a mix of terrifying realistic and scary to just plain weird.
July 7th, 2008 11:30
YAY!!! I’m no longer all alone!!!
July 7th, 2008 11:30
I can stop researching fractals and be social!!!
July 7th, 2008 11:36
Andrea-la, I was going to point something out to you to keep you from your little experiment but I can’t remember what it- oh wait it’s song lyrics!! hold on, uno momento…
July 7th, 2008 11:36
a song is worth a thousand pictures…
July 7th, 2008 11:39
HAHA FOUND THE LYRICS!!!!!!! (sorry i’m a bit giddy right now, this might convince you not to. But please give this a chance, don’t do what I do and refuse to even listen to people who are trying to convince me otherwise…)
Have you been walking on a surface that’s uncertain?
Have you helped yourself to everything that’s empty? yeah!
You can’t live this way too long.
There’s more than this, more than this.
Have you been standing on your own feet too long?
Have you been looking for a place where you belong?
You can rest, you will find rest.
You can rest, you will find rest.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.
Have you been holding on to what this world has offered?
Have you been giving in to all these masquerades?
It will be gone, forever gone.
It will be gone, it will be gone
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.
Let it fade.
Are you carrying the weight too much?, are you running from the call?
Let it fade, Oh yeah.
You can rest, you will find rest.
You can rest you will find rest.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Have you been standing on your own feet too long?
Have you been looking for a place where you belong?

July 7th, 2008 11:45
I would turn it up to full volume, but not right now…my mom is having a nap…later I will…it’s funny, I was thinking about that song…WE ARE CONNECTED AT THE BRAIN!!!!!
July 7th, 2008 11:46
if this- a christian song with lyrics practically aiming towards exactly what you’re going through- doesn’t change your mind, I don’t think anything will.
Also, please see my comment, the last comment of the post, on the extras spoiler page Andrea-la. I think you’ll agree with what I had to say.
Oh, and have you read the story Jenna Bush (prez bush’s daughter) wrote (it’s a real story, she didnt make it up, she met the woman on a trip with UNICEF) called Ana’s Story? it’s amazing and beautiful and I loved it. You should read it.
July 7th, 2008 11:46
Okay, couldn’t help it, I turned up the volume…
July 7th, 2008 11:47
I LOVE THAT SONG FAR TOO MUCH!!!!!!!! Haven’t read that one…
July 7th, 2008 11:47
I had just responded to your comment on the extras spoiler page btw.

Yeah…I have gone insane…I blame it on summer, no math class…
July 7th, 2008 12:03
is that seriously pi or did you type random numbers…?
i’m back. my sister will most likely kick me off if she doesn’t like the movie on TV.
July 7th, 2008 12:04
Did I tell you my camera incident yet…?
July 7th, 2008 12:04
I copied and pasted off some math website….
July 7th, 2008 12:04
Not yet…I’m assuming you are about to.
July 7th, 2008 12:07
wow…. and it keeps going huh?
when rounding, I get confused sometimes. For example, you’re supposed to round 2.146 to the nearest tenth. Do you follow the rule of 4 or less and keep it the same, or round the four up because of the 6 then round the 1 up to 2 because the four becomes five? It’s So Confusing!!
July 7th, 2008 12:08
I like math…I’m going insane due to not haveing math class.
July 7th, 2008 12:13
Ok. So i have some bad luck with my sister’s camera. She got it last christmas from our grandma. She’s in love with it…
Incident #1- camera is placed into pool tote bag during our cruise last January, out of it’s black case and has rubber..thing…on it as always. My water bottle is placed inside, and opens inside the bag. Camera gets wet, little to no damage done.
Incident #2- I am recording sister and her friends from ground while they jump on trampoline. note trampoline is supposed to have cloth wallls, but they got ripped recently before. Foam covering metal supports is also ripped and exposing metal in some parts of supports. I am recording them, then I get onto trampoline after turning off recording, camera still on. After jumping for a couple minutes and gathering static electricity…) I grab support pole with camera in hand. Shocked painfully, I instinctively drop camera and grab hand. Camera lands lense first. Small to medium damage done, fixed that evening by father.
Now here’s the worst…
July 7th, 2008 12:16
oh wow….
July 7th, 2008 12:18
Incident #3- I took camera with me to camp. All goes well. I am at my friend’s house the morning after we get back (we got back at 1:30 in the morning, so i stayed the night with friend, Lora-la actually, until about 10 the next morning. But that’s fairly irrelevent.). We are looking at pictures and videos from camp on her camera, and I go to get mine. Bring to table, place batteries in, and freak out at the screen. Inner screen punctured, assumably by batteries inside case with them (in pocket in front of camera inside camera case). Help not retrievable by internet, because camera model not found in system. Now I HAVE TO BUY HER A STUPID NEW CAMERA!!!!!!!!!! THAT WOULD BE 3 AND A HALF MONTHS OF ALLOWENCE THAT I COULD HAVE SAVED TO GET THE MP3 PLAYER I WAS HOPING TO SAVE UP FOR AFTER CAMP WAS PAID OFF!!! ugh!!!!!
July 7th, 2008 12:20
OH CRAP!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS SO SUCKISH!!!
July 7th, 2008 12:21
I’LL SAY!!!!
gah!!!!
July 7th, 2008 12:22
God of wonders beyond our galaxy, you are holy, holy… hehe now i’m listening to songs on the computer.
July 7th, 2008 12:22
OH WOW, I LOVE THAT SONG TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 7th, 2008 12:22
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO LISTEN TO IT!!!!!!!
July 7th, 2008 12:23
NOW I AM LISTENING TO IT!!!!!!
July 7th, 2008 12:25
haha i only know that one part.. and the “lord of heaven and earth” part ROFL! Now i’m just going through it. I hope I’ll find the song called… oh what is it… ah i cant remember… rah now i’ll be obsessed with finding it!!!
July 7th, 2008 12:26
what song???? sorry, I’m just in a really weird mood….can’t stop laughing…the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese…sorry, I’m just reading stupid quotes right now…
July 7th, 2008 12:27
ok i can’t remember it… ah im going to go mad…
AH I REMEMBER YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!
“We Live, We Love”
DEFIDENTLY ONE OF MY FAVE SONGS!
July 7th, 2008 12:30
I’m reading one of my old emails to a friend from that one time in grade 7 when I was trying to be normal. Here it is, it’s quite profound:”I was watching this ad and it said “the nail that sticks out gets hammered down”. It’s like the whole rubber band thing from Stargirl. Maybe this is why I am trying so hard to be normal…no on is hammering me down, so I prevent that happening by hammering myself down. The thing is that it is much harder and much more painful. Hmmmmmmm. But maybe I will never get hammered down, because I was put in backwards.”
I can’t believe I actually thought that way at some time….interesting….i love reading my old email….
July 7th, 2008 12:32
AH I FORGOT TO TELL YOU, I READ AND FINISHED STARGIRL YESTERDAY AND TODAY!!!!!!!
July 7th, 2008 12:33
AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 7th, 2008 12:34
It was really really good. Reminded me of you, stargirl… lol
July 7th, 2008 12:36
I love that book far too much…there is a sequel you know.
July 7th, 2008 12:39
yea i heard
we live we love we forgive and never give up. Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above and today we remember to live and to lu-u-ove…
hehe one of my fave songs…
July 7th, 2008 12:40
I like music….hehehe….yeah….the early bird get the word, but the second mouse gets the cheese….i still find that incredbly funny….
July 7th, 2008 12:40
what’s the name of the sequel? When I finish the other… 7… books i got from the library, I’ll try to see if they have it!
July 7th, 2008 12:40
word=worm….it would be funny if it got the word….
July 7th, 2008 12:41
Love Stargirl
July 7th, 2008 12:42
andrea-la have you ever heard “We Live” by Superchic[k]?
look it up on youtube, you’ll hear the full version.
July 7th, 2008 12:44
just a second….going to listen to it….listening….
July 7th, 2008 12:46
liking it….
July 7th, 2008 12:47
I just read a really sad-making quote….
July 7th, 2008 12:50
ISN’T IT JUST THE MOST FAWESOME SWIMTASTICAL SONG EVR?!
…what quote?
July 7th, 2008 12:51
Oh, “You nonconformists are all alike.” -Kayla S.’s sticker . To me this is just getting back to the rubber band thing.
July 7th, 2008 12:52
I just read another one of the emails that I sent to a friend:”But prehaps I am not ment to live life, but to write it. It shall be my dooming fate to record the known and to create the unknown. I am cursed to be never truly content with reality, and therefore search for an unreality. Fiction is my calling and my destany, and I am to greet it with open arms. Reality will never truely be true to me, so I shall record reality so that it shall someday be true for someone other than pittyful me. Prehaps I am writing a poem now, just not ever to be read, but by you…but still this poem shall never be understood for that is it’s fate, it’s destiny, it’s calling…so similer to my own.” See? I am such a depressed little poet.
July 7th, 2008 12:55
hmm… i have forgotten the rubberband thing. Care to begin explaining? I’ll probably remember as soon as I start reading your explanation…
July 7th, 2008 12:58
Rubberband? Right, okay so everyone is a rubberband and they all snap right back into place if they start to broden their horizens….
July 7th, 2008 12:59
haha you may have been depressed at the time… as far as DEPRESSED little poet goes… lol…
July 7th, 2008 13:00
GOT IT
see? rofl.
July 7th, 2008 13:00
come on! yeah, that was an EMAIL. can you believe it? yeah, maybe i was a little sad at the time…but how the heck can you be happy in this world???
July 7th, 2008 13:05
lol…
are you going to start your philosophist time now…? lol jk.
Go on, rant on here and on your blog. You know you want to… rofl. I don’t meant that in a single way to be mean. Just poking some fun, and barely poking if at all
July 7th, 2008 13:06
I really want to join the philosophy club at my school but I’m not old enough yet. And it overlaps with jazz band. Which overlaps with JVG. Which overlaps with recorder ensemble. Which overlaps with chess club.
July 7th, 2008 13:10
lol. So what difference does one overlap make?!
Yea, if i could sing, I’d so totally sing We Live at a talent show or whatever lol…
July 7th, 2008 13:11
lol. Yeah…I usually have to skip lunch because of all the clubs that I’m in at school. Now that it’s summer I don’t know what to do with myself.
July 7th, 2008 13:12
lol.
aww, i overused my voting on comments on the comment board for the video i’m watching…
July 7th, 2008 13:13
lol. Yeah, I’m still reading stupid quotes and old emails. And I’m still thinking about the whole nail and hammer thing.
July 7th, 2008 13:14
hmm… i’m gonna go. I think it’s getting to be too late for me to have some ice cream or cookies… and I have a limit of sweets only on Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday and special occasions or when my parents give them to me…
ttyl!!!
July 7th, 2008 13:16
aw, you’re leaving? Now I’m a REALLY depressed poet.
July 7th, 2008 13:17
aww.
not as depressed as i’m getting, reading your most recent blog post…
July 7th, 2008 13:19
that isn’t that recent.
July 7th, 2008 13:21
*sigh*
okay Andrea-la, here’s the advice you asked for-
Have you ever heard of someone who went into a forest and came back out happy (other than fairtales where the girl finds a prince or something)? I haven’t. They always get lost, or eaten by something, or creeped out… you get my point. And you admitted that it would be stupid to go in, so why would you? Honestly, it’s like saying, “Hmm… should I stab my hand with this knife? it’s probably stupid, and I’ll probably scar, but hey, I still kinda wanna do it!”
This will end badly if you choose to go in, Andrea-la. As your friend, I’m telling you i think you shouldn’t go in. Go back to the house. Besides, what’s so boring in the house? Maybe you can pop some popcorn and watch a movie with a friend or talk to me or write your book instead
okay, i better go if I want some food!
July 7th, 2008 13:22
WHADDAYA MEAN IT’S NOT RECENT? It was posted today, honey…
July 7th, 2008 13:51
hello! hmm.. so i have know idea what we are talking about right now so i’m going to start my own topic..
i think i like red grapes rather than green ones…
they are just sweeter.
what do you perfer red or green?
yummm.. grapes are GOOD!
July 7th, 2008 14:11
I like the green ones. And yeah, recent for me is five minutes ago.
July 7th, 2008 14:12
And it’s not that stupid to do something stupid. And popcorn and movies get boring after a while.
July 7th, 2008 14:16
Okay…uh…totally lost here. Green grapes are better cuz they’re more sour! LoL! And it so does not get boring…as long as you have the right movie!
July 7th, 2008 14:23
Sure. Yeah, I never do get bored at yelling at Ella Enchanted…
July 7th, 2008 14:27
HeHe…Wizard of Oz does it for me. I’ve been able to like recite the whole movie since I was like four…
July 7th, 2008 14:27
I prefer rereading books than watching movies though.
July 7th, 2008 14:37
I once again updated my blog…
July 7th, 2008 14:39
Yeah…I don’t really like rereading books…even if it’s super good. My memory’s like really good, so it would just feel super repetitive….but I read a TON.
July 7th, 2008 14:40
I read so much. Honestly, when someone asks me how much I read, I can honestly say “more than you”. It doesn’t matter who it is. I update my blog far too obsessivly.
July 7th, 2008 14:49
I’ve got to go to bed. Night!
July 7th, 2008 15:00
Night
July 8th, 2008 01:23
I updated my blog again…yes, again. But for the first time today, I swear!
July 8th, 2008 01:50
Anyone on??? Please, someone, answer me! I’m a depressed little poet who was so bored last night that I wrote a poem about a guy trying to make icecream that you can put in your poket then going broke.
July 8th, 2008 01:53
I’m so bored that I’m learning next year’s math stuff. Yes, I’m googleing Basic Trigonometry…and liking it.
July 8th, 2008 01:57
Now I’m playing math baseball on funbrain…
July 8th, 2008 02:02
YOU KNOW WHAT’S REALLY FUN? MATH TIC-TAC-TOE!!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY WITH SQUARE ROOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aw, I just lost to the computer…
July 8th, 2008 02:05
I. Can’t. Beat. The. Stupid. Computer.
July 8th, 2008 02:06
Cool zepplins, Scott!
July 8th, 2008 02:07
UHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I tied AGAIN.
July 8th, 2008 02:08
hey, Andrea-la. What game are you playing that is so hard to win at?
July 8th, 2008 02:11
Math tic-tac-toe. With square roots.
July 8th, 2008 02:11
YAY I JUST BEAT THE COMPUTER!!! *evil laughter*
July 8th, 2008 02:12
oh. I don’t like math very much at all.
July 8th, 2008 02:13
I LOVE MATH. But the computer beat me again.
July 8th, 2008 02:13
congradulations!
July 8th, 2008 02:14
for beating the computer on comment 151, I mean
July 8th, 2008 02:17
I keep on getting ties…
July 8th, 2008 02:17
at least you’re not loosing.
July 8th, 2008 02:18
I WON AGAIN!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!
July 8th, 2008 02:19
Good for you!!!
July 8th, 2008 02:20
I like this game. But that could be because of my recent facination with square roots.
July 8th, 2008 02:21
I forget what square roots are. Oh, well. I’ll remember next year.
July 8th, 2008 02:22
YOU DON’T REMEMBER WHAT SQUARE ROOTS ARE??? What grade are you going into?
July 8th, 2008 02:23
I’m going to be a freshman next year.
July 8th, 2008 02:23
in canadian please? that means grade 9, right? I really don’t speak american…
July 8th, 2008 02:27
yes, “Freshman” means 9th grade, your first year in high school, “Sophmore” means 10th grade, your second year in high school, “Junior” means 11th grade, your 3rd year in h s, and “Senior” means 12th grade, your 4th and last year in H.S.
July 8th, 2008 02:32
ah. That makes sense. Okay, so you are going into grade 9 in the american school system and can’t remember what square roots are? Okay, the thing is that the american school system is much more math focused than the canadian one. And I’m going into grade 9 in the canadian school system and love square roots. Do you like fractions? I like fractions…
July 8th, 2008 02:34
Well, like i’ve said many times before, i’m not in to math. But fractions are okay.
July 8th, 2008 02:35
I like dividing fractions….sorry, but I love math far too much for it to be human. My parents have even called me a nerd. But I’m so happy right now because my dad said that this summer he would teach me about triganomatry…
July 8th, 2008 02:51
My computer is being so annoying…
July 8th, 2008 02:51
what is triganomatry
July 8th, 2008 02:53
My computer was giving me issues too
July 8th, 2008 02:55
Maybe it’s the website. Triganomatry is like geomatry just its a little bit different. It’s all having to do with angles. I haven’t started learning it yet, not til this evening. So far I’ve just been googling it.
July 8th, 2008 02:58
hehehe…I wish I could learn latin….
July 8th, 2008 03:00
are you still here? Or is your computer still all weird…
July 8th, 2008 03:21
ANYONE ON??? Or do I have to go back to playing math tic-tac-toe???
July 8th, 2008 03:23
I was distracted.
July 8th, 2008 03:24
I’m still here.
July 8th, 2008 03:27
Cool. I was just reading some ancient blog posts of mine…facinating.

I hate that feeling. It’s just so weird.
July 8th, 2008 08:52
LOVE IT
k wierdest thing Ive ever heard
I was watching TV and a commersial for the news came on and it said and I quote
“Tonight at ten find out what this man cut of his body to evade police”
I was like O.o WHAT! I thought he might have like cut off a tattoo or something.
So I was watching the news, and they were talking about it. He cut off an ankle bracelet, nothing actually permently attached, and ankle braclet, I felt like I was jipted
July 8th, 2008 08:53
g2g. I’m going to my friend’s house for a sleepover. Bye!
July 8th, 2008 08:54
bybye
have fun
July 8th, 2008 09:35
Zepplin….or white flying whale???
July 8th, 2008 10:11
that is the REAL question. lol.
July 8th, 2008 10:13
“for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
let me see if i did that right…
WOOT WOOT I FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT! In my daily Bible Study I had to memorize that verse by the end of the week… this was last week rofl. Ah well. I’ve got it now.
July 8th, 2008 11:31
HeHe, I’m really good at spelling. Does anybody else like the Maximum Ride books? And the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard on tv was on a real estate commercial…It said the house had two bath, two car garage, perfect for two people with 2.4 kids or more. 2.4 kids? What the heck it that supposed to mean???
July 8th, 2008 11:45
Hey is anyone here?
July 8th, 2008 11:51
2.4 kids is the average size of families these days
if people stereotype the size size of a family, like in the real estate business, they generalise it as 2.4. that’s why the number pops up so often
the weirdest thing i’ve ever seen on tv was a video clip showing people how to commit suicide. it was on the news last night, actually. there’s some huge controversy about it because it was ‘widely shown to a young audience’ in Dunedin.
July 8th, 2008 11:56
Hi peeps! I’m at a friend’s house and they are going to tie me to a chair to restrain me from the computer!!! lol. literally. they aren’tith joking. seriously. yeah.
July 8th, 2008 14:26
“But does anyone think that in the long term, oil’s going to get cheaper? Sure! Because the middle east will stabilize, the Chinese will decide they don’t really want cars, and Americans are going to stop wasting fuel at every possible opportunity!”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
July 8th, 2008 17:08
ughh….. i don’t want to go to conditioning and lifting tomorrow. bleh. and then open field.. ick. and then to my consultation… even more ick! …it’s this appointment to meet with my surgeon who will be taking my wisdom teeth out at the end of softball season.
and then to the batting cages tomorrow night… but i love the batting cages.. so i’m happy about that one. and in any extra time i will be working at a food booth.
guess what guys… you probably don’t care but i feel like telling you anyways… today i was at lifting and one of the things we have to do is 10 pull-ups.. hate em.. but anyways i do them so very wrong like my right arm does all the work and my left just kinda holds on for the ride… and i twist to the right when i do them. i tried to make my left arm pull too but it just won’t cuz all my stength is on the right side of my body.. from softball of course.. since it’s my throwing arm.
July 9th, 2008 00:25
Um, thanks for the info, Kay-wa…?
July 9th, 2008 03:10

July 9th, 2008 04:17
hmmmmm…I think I’ll play math tic tac toe again…
July 9th, 2008 04:28

Sorry, I was reading something…my phone broke. Again.
July 9th, 2008 05:08
huh? what were you reading???
July 9th, 2008 05:19
The warranty thingy on my cell phone to see if what I had to do…my parents called the company and they were put on hold for like twenty minutes just so they can tell them that they’d send a new one, and we have to return the broken one. But it was SO not my fault that it broke!
July 9th, 2008 05:23
okay…i don’t particularrily like phones…unless you are yelling the number 169 millions of times at the baffled person on the other end…that’s fun.
July 9th, 2008 05:32
Ha, ya well I have a little addiction to texting…but really though, I only text basically one of my friends. But that’s cuz we’ve got this ongoing story thing that we do, and we just start where we left off last time. It’s really fun, totally keeps me busy.
July 9th, 2008 05:33
Well…I g2g. Be back later.
July 9th, 2008 05:34

“Proofread carefully to see if you any words out. “
July 9th, 2008 09:01
Just off the internet. Random quotes. Very funny.

WHAT???
July 9th, 2008 09:07

“If we weren’t all crazy, we would go insane”
July 9th, 2008 09:08
Thats true!
July 9th, 2008 09:09
And another one:
“My imaginary friend thinks you have some serious problems”

bybye ttfn
July 9th, 2008 16:10
White chocolate isn’t really chocolate?! *le gasp!* And I trusted it all this time! I feel so used. Everything I know is a lie!
July 10th, 2008 01:44
aww. Poor TZ, is the world going to end now that you know white chocolate isn’t chocolate?
i’ve known that for a few years…
hey, anyone here have experience with 2-year-old girls? I’m trying to make it princess day today for my neice, we’re watching her all day and she’s staying the night with us and almost all day tomorrow. We made a crown out of paper, but she took it out… I’m not sure if we have any dress up clothes either. Any ideas?
July 10th, 2008 02:45
….let her boss you around (if it’s something bad don’t do it) and pretend to be her royal subjects?
July 10th, 2008 02:59
I don’t know. I prefer babysitting older kids. Ummmm…well, you could back cookies with her. Little kids like that…I think…at least my little cousins do…
July 10th, 2008 03:36
um, a two year old Andrea-la. Not a kindergartener…
Great. She doesn’t htings she shouldn’t (i.e. throws a toy at you, plays with tv remotes, etc.) and if you tell her to stop, even calmly, she CRIES! Like Crazy! Good Grief She Doesn’t Stop!
July 10th, 2008 03:41
Gah it takes FOREVER for your sims to graduate from high school, and I’ve got 12 of them!!!!!!! At Once!!!!!!!!
July 10th, 2008 03:42
oh in post 368 i mean to say “She does things she shouldn’t…” not “She doens’t htings she shouldn’t…”
weird typo.
July 10th, 2008 03:44
Oh and we’re making chocolate rice krispy treats
chocolate marshmellows (those are really good.) and cocoa rice krispies. Mmm… they’re in the fridge. Well technically they’re in the freezer in our garage but the temperature won’t stay down in that fridge so the freezer is pretty much a refrigerator. lol.
July 10th, 2008 04:15
cookies are always good. rice krispy treats are good too, especially if they are chocolate!
July 10th, 2008 04:23
no way am i reading three hundred comments. i’m just lazy today. sigh. actually, i did 16.5 miles on the stationary bike today, 19 yesterday, and 17 the day before that.
so i guess the fact that my legs feel like jelly is a good reason to be lazy.
and also, i got a huge wire put onto my braces yesterday, and they hurt like heck. like, really bad. sigh. and no one made jell-o! (actually, ‘no one’ is me, but w/e).
i am going to get some motrin. and maybe make some jello. MAYBE.
July 10th, 2008 04:30
LoL
July 10th, 2008 04:31
Hellos! Anyone still on?
July 10th, 2008 04:48
In this case, no news is not good news.
July 10th, 2008 05:12
Whatever, I have to tidy up the house anyway. Bye! Don’t forget to read my blog!
July 10th, 2008 06:47
WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE??? Whatever, I’ll just email random people again.

July 10th, 2008 09:00
i mean wat wat?
July 10th, 2008 09:04
HeHe…I went shoe shopping and got like 500 million new pairs of shoes…*grins evilly while looking at mountain of cute shoes*. Shoes are my weakness. That they are, that they are. So what’s up with everybody?
July 10th, 2008 09:07
shoes are sooooooo good. luv them.
July 10th, 2008 09:11
Whateverz…And just cuz you’re being an RTS doesn’t mean you have to spell like that. Cuz that really really bugs me. Anywho, back to the happier subject of shoes(just so you know I’m totally ignoring the RTS thing.) Do you like converse or vans better? Personally, I prefer converse.
July 10th, 2008 09:11
hmmmmmmm…i don’t no.
July 10th, 2008 09:14
Yeah…well they both rock, but converse are more comfortable. So……boredom, taking over….I see the light!
July 10th, 2008 09:14
i like both
Im ordering special converse off line before school starts but I love my trusty pair of vans
July 10th, 2008 09:14
huh? i don’t get it.
July 10th, 2008 09:15
That’s cool Kenzie, Andrea-la do they like not have converse and vans in Canada?
July 10th, 2008 09:15

July 10th, 2008 09:16
huh? sorry i’m falling asleep…
July 10th, 2008 09:17

July 10th, 2008 09:23
Ooh, that sounds cool. Has anyone read any of the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson? It’s really awesome.
July 10th, 2008 09:24
Have you ever played bloons
its a fun online game
July 10th, 2008 09:24
no…i haven’t read that…
July 10th, 2008 09:25
no whats it about
July 10th, 2008 09:28
I haven’t played the game either. Um it’s about these six kids who were recombinent DNA structures or something like that, and before they were born they like injected them with avian DNA so they’re 98% human and 2% bird, so they have wings and powers and stuff. And they were like trapped at this “school” which was a lab thing and they have to like try and escape and it’s much better than I make it sound, so I’ll stop there.
July 10th, 2008 09:30
OoOoOHh that sounds really good
its going on my list for sure
July 10th, 2008 09:33
Dude seriously, I couldn’t put it down. I ended up reading the first two books in the same day and they were like 420 pages and 409 pages. Ya, I’m weird like that.
July 10th, 2008 09:35
wee
I read the 7th harry potter book in less than a day, my sis did too we stayed in our rooms seperated until we both finished
July 10th, 2008 09:37
Ya, so did I. Well technically it was two days cuz I was up past midnight reading, but whatever. My parents teased me cuz I had my nose in that book all day not paying attention to anything they’re like “Well hello Miss Potter, glad you could join the rest of us muggles.” So yeah…
July 10th, 2008 09:40
no I waited for over 12 hours at borders for it
in the first 20 people yeah!
then stayed up till about 4 reading since I got the book only a couple minutes after midnight
then prolly finished it at about 6pm the next day
that was a happy day
July 10th, 2008 09:46
Ya, I was at Borders and I got there like 2 freaking hours early and there were already like over a 100 people! I’m like sheesh! So I had to wait in line FOREVER. Gosh. And then my friend walks up to me, carrying the book. And I’m like “Holy crap! How’d you get it already???” and she just points nextdoor to the SafeWay and says “There’s no line there.” And my jaw just like dropped and I’m like “You have GOT to be kidding me.” So yeah, but I’d already pre-ordered it and everything…
July 10th, 2008 09:52
our line went out the door and around 3 corners it as crazy
July 10th, 2008 09:54
Ha, wow. My parents got bored and ditched me after a couple hours of waiting. But I was with friends so it was cool…but boring. Gosh, I just noticed how much I use this: … Wow, probably cuz most my thoughts aren’t complete, lol.
July 10th, 2008 09:57
I met people there and watched movies and played wizard chess played games from the dollar store next door colored in coloring books and had donuts, mmm
July 10th, 2008 09:58

July 10th, 2008 11:00
the last book in the universe is a good book.
in other futuristic books, like in scott’s Uglies books, the future they describe is better than now. at least in some ways. the last book in the universe describes a future that isn’t so good. much worse, actually.
July 10th, 2008 11:01
huh cool
and hi
July 10th, 2008 11:09
gonna go swimming be back later, maybe
July 10th, 2008 11:54
swimming is fun…
July 10th, 2008 12:52
lol u all still here? I’m going to go read Andrea-la blog, I think she updated since I last saw…
baby’s gotten better btw. She’s in the phase where when we tell her to go night night she doesn’t complain but always asks “I wake up??” and it’s kinda pitiful. We don’t have a clue why, neither does her mom or dad (my brother and his gf). Swimming is fun. I got the 7th harry potter book from the library- extremely long waiting list, and I finished it in a matter of days…
July 10th, 2008 13:11
oh wow. i just woke up from like a 5 hour nap. ha. cuz i’ve been so tired lately. and i’ve been waking up at like 6:30 a.m… something you should not have to do in the summer.. to go conditioning and lifting.. but today it was so i could go work at a food booth. bleh. i can’t wait till sunday.. i’ll finally be able to sleep in.. hopefully. and then tuesday i leave for TN!!
..white water river rafting here i come!
July 10th, 2008 22:44
lol. it is 6:30 right now…
July 11th, 2008 00:28
rawr. it’s 9:30 here, and my mom is leaving in about 15 minutes to go out with some friends leaving me and my 11 year old sister to watch a 2 year old and I won’t be allowed on the computer until she gets back which will be in the afternoon… RAWR I’M SADLY OBSESSED WITH THIS BLOG!!
July 11th, 2008 04:27
sigh. u peeps do have a lot to talk about…
listening to gunpowder and lead by miranda lambert….love that song…!!!
July 11th, 2008 04:53
It’s 10:52, am I one of the few that actually sleeps in?
July 11th, 2008 05:21
hi yall
July 11th, 2008 05:40
UMR-wa I used to be OBBSESSED with Miranda Lambert. I have her first CD. I don’t really like her much anymore, i think she sounds too… nasal, i guess.
July 11th, 2008 07:11
Is anyone here?
July 11th, 2008 07:13
Okay, I’m going on youtube. I’ll check back later.
July 11th, 2008 09:01
heellllooo???
July 11th, 2008 12:12
“But seriously, if you haven’t read the book yet, there are plenty of other ways to waste time on the internets. Check out Kitten War or something.” the words of scott-la on the The Last Days spoiler thread. So I took up his offer and went. haha, i’m such a cat lover… what does scott-la have against kittenwar.com? HUH? THEY’RE SO FLUFFY AND CUTE!!!!
ok i’m done.
July 11th, 2008 12:13
no I’m not.
I ENTERED TWO PICTURES OF MY KITTEN ON THERE!
ok NOW i’m done. I think.
July 11th, 2008 12:34
Does anybody reaad the maximum ride series
July 11th, 2008 14:47
I do! I just finished the fourth book yesterday. Did you know that the 5th one coming out like early next year?
July 11th, 2008 15:45
oooo guess what guys!! we totally kicked butt tonight at my softball game! and our pitcher was gone… so we had to put in this girl who has never pitched in a game before.. she did okay though. it was intense. we kept tying it up and finally in the 6th inning we won 12 to 11. and i had a really awesome double all the way out in left field over the third base line.
anyways it was tons of fun. i’m still pumped!
ugh. tomorrow i have my physical.. gosh i hope i don’t have to get a shot!! i pass out.. can’t. stand. needles. ewww..
July 11th, 2008 16:19
Oh! Awesome, Go Kay-wa! Hum. I’m not afraid of needles, I used to be when I was little but not any more. Hope you don’t have to get a shot though, since you don’t like it!
July 11th, 2008 16:24
I used to be afraid of needles, when we had to get our meningitis shots. Because I had a bad reaction and fainted after the first one, I guess. I was so freaked out I couldn’t even get my ears pierced! but after all the shots were over, I wasn’t afraid anymore, and I got my ears done.
I suppose if needles aren’t a big part of my daily life, I’m not scared of them.
July 12th, 2008 01:45
Leviathan in Hebrew means whale.
July 12th, 2008 10:14
haha thanks TZ!
guess what! no shots!!
it was quick and easy.. painless in fact! i’ve always been afraid of shots… and getting my blood drawn that’s awful too. i think the blood drawn thing is worse.. they can never find my vain and end up poking me a few times and then the sight of blood makes me nauseous.

Zeppelins are a romantic idea, but I really don’t believe they will ever be a response to rising fuel prices.
I can’t image how a zeppelin could ever match the efficiency of a well built train with steel wheels on a steel track. True, a lot of energy is used by planes to hold them up, but there is also a great deal of energy used to push them through the air.
It takes no energy at all to hold a train up. It just sits on the ground. The loss of energy or expense of moving a train is only the wind resistance and a negligible loss at the wheels.
So imagine a zeplin big enough to carry the weight of cargo on a train. Now imagine how much energy it would take to push that zeplin along the train tracks. But wait, lets consider another inefficiency… Instead of pushing the train forward by rolling the wheels, you have to use propellers to blow it forward like a Zeplin in the air would use.
Maybe, the idea of a zeplin is so attractive that journalists will push a story about them being a possible future transport. Maybe there is another agenda at work.
If you like Zeppelins, have a look at the art work in “The Moon Rock”
