Sorry to have been so long! Redux

EDIT: Yes, yes, I know this was published twice. Curse those Firefox cache errors!
Greetings, the exactly 0 people who read this blog thus far. Sorry to have been away--school and all that other good stuff. Oh, well.
Now they're calling 2003 UB313 "Xena" until they approve a name for it! And--(gasp)--it has a moon! ("Gabrielle," isn't it?) They're named after characters from the TV show Xena (at least until the IAU approves a name). I don't think it's a planet. Neither is Pluto. Hey, 50000 Quaoar has more of a planetary claim than Pluto! At least its orbit is a circle, or nearly so (Pluto's isn't). And, check those plutinos (KBOs with a 2:3 resonance with Neptune, which Pluto shares)! Oh, well, at least the IAU is reconsidering.
Let's update some phrases (bold is the new, regular is the old, hypen is the seperator):
That's the way the hard drive reformats - That's the way the cookie crumbles
Don't cry over evaporated helium - Don't cry over spilled milk
It cost an upper appendage and a lower appendage - It cost an arm and a leg
Attach your eyes to the SMART board - Glue your eyes to the chalkboard (hey, what's wrong with a SMART board?)
Got to go. Returning soon, supposedly.
End of line.

Sorry to be so long!

Sorry I've been gone so long! We had a couple of band shows, and they were pretty good...in any case, my birthday's coming up.
Let's update some expressions:
That's the way the hard drive reformats - That's the way the cookie crumbles.
Don't cry over evaporated helium - Don't cry over spilled milk.
Zero-bit - Idiot.
I must go now...I have something to do.

LimeWire has gotten legal! The black plague! Is it the black plague?
Also, I've managed to find the Creative Commons. It's an interesting site. I guess that my garage band could post up some of their tunes...we already have our first test recording on LimeWire. Check it out. Just search for "Black & White" in the artist pane; that's what we called ourselves back then.
And what's this about: According to ActiveWin, a Microsoft CEO says that they'll "[CENSORED] kill Google!" What's up with that?
End of line.

Part Two

Well, I'm back! Hope everyone had a great day yesterday/today. I watched about half of The Bicentennial Man. Robin Williams does an excellent job, let me tell you. Anyway, I must get off now. Sorry to be so short.
End of line.

Greetings

Hello, everyone. Welcome to Planet Q. Currently you are about 150 billion miles away from the Sun on my little piece of real estate. (Okay, it's not that good of a joke.) Anyway, a little about myself. I play the bass drum in the marching band I am in (second highest, to be precise). I also have a dog named Dotty. I am interested in science, science fiction, the MediaWiki projects (my username there is SnoopY), R.E.M. (the band), Peanuts (no strip will ever be what it ever was), Tron (that movie is awesome), and my garage band, which has only met somewhere around twice, to name a few things.
Well, here I am.
End of line.
