Today was a very good day
We had our morning “church service” at home, just talking through somestuff my dad had been reading, and praying together.  It’s awesometo have a family that can do that kind of thing together!
I went out for lunch with Katie, Maggie, Michael and Darren, and we had fun making fools of ourselves

Katie and Maggie with the massive spoons!

Michael “Pillowman”, with his slicked back hair.

Yes, this is Darren chugging the pitcher of water!

And Darren pouring the chocolate sauce attaya-style.

I got this cheese pasta dish that looked good on the menu, but ended upbeing full of Blue Cheese!!!  Yuck.  Not one I’ll order again
Then straight from there, Darren and I took a taxi to our mission’scentre for our monthly meeting.  Because I was playing the guitarfor it, I had brought it along to the restaurant, and got some weirdlooks walking in the door with it!  My playing went really well,it was the first time I’d done it in front of anyone but myfamily.  The whole evening thing was done very well, the music wasgood, and they had several small symbolic activities rather than asermon.  One was picking a stone to represent something you werestruggling with and placing it at the foot of the cross.  And wealso wrote things we were thankful for on paper “stones” to make apile.  I put music because I love prasing God with music

Then we had a barbeque together, and Jonathan, a Brit and I had a hilarious verbal exchange that went on for about twenty minutes. It was a battle of wits, and we were both speaking in Old English, metrying my best to put on a British Accent.  It went something likethis:

Why you incompetant fool!
Me, a fool!  You underestimate me, oh friendly enemy!
*both crack up*
You have errors in your diction.
I do not derive my honour from my diction, but from my eloquency.

etc, etc, for 20 minutes.  Great fun!

I also found some scary old pictures of me, so I thought I’d post oneseeing as I specialise in making myself look like an utter fool

Thank goodness I don’t look like that anymore!

Good night, morning, afternoon, or evening, depending on where you happen to be situated in this world’s complicated timezones.

Good Evening.
On Friday afternoon, we had Sarah, Amanda and Michael over for Attaya,Senegalese tea.  Sarah and I had a bet going as to who could eat the most Biskrem cookies during our afternoon.

So, as we were making and drinking tea, we dug in, and stuffedourselves with these cookies.  After 3 hours of tea-drinking wefinally made it to 30 cookies each!!   Then we felt so sickthat we called it a truce.  The stakes were high too!  Sarahhad her title of World Leader going against me spraying my hair backfor the first day of school.  I really got the better end of that,but nobody won anyways!  We both almost threw up
The tea was really good, and we all had a lot of fun talking. Afterwards we went for a walk around the neighbourhood with Smiley-facestickers on our cheeks.  Got some weird looks.  Most of thecrazyness was all Sarah’s doing!

Today I stuck around the house, went on the computer, read a bit, wrotea bunch of emails, and watched this crazy guy climb up an antenna thatis on top of a 10 story apartment building:

This evening we painted my sister’s leg.  Literally.

’twas a lot of fun

We also watched the movie of Romeo and Juliet today.  I think it’sa really dumb storyline… Like for goodness sakes, a 17-year old guy sees a 13-year old girl at a party, falls in “love” with her, theystart making out, and they get married the next day!   Not how I plan on finding my wife!

And right now, there’s a huge party down our street playing loud musicwhich will probably keep me up all night.  The last song I heardthem singing was “Love your mama, love your mama, love your mama.” LOL!!

I also convinced a friend, Chelsey, to get a xanga today!  So go look at www.xanga.com/buhler_buhler_buhler.

Well it’s really late now, goodnight!

Due to the neglection of his inclusion on my coolness list, (yeah, itwasn’t an exaustive list)  I know present to you, The Chroniclesof Darren!

Ergo, I will post pictures, as is my custom, of him in random and embarrasing moments.  Enjoy it Darren

I know this is unheard of, two entries in one day, but this is going to be so much fun, I just couldn’t wait.

Presenting the July 2005 Librarian XGames!!

Ladies andGentlemen, prepare to be amazed by incredible feats of beeping andstamping, as never seen before!!  It is strongly advised thatthose feeble of heart should leave the room before viewing. 
And now, for those of you brave enough to stay, the incredible, the amazing, the exilerating Librarian XGames!!
  First we have the classic Right-handed-beep.  Nothing too spectacular, but still pretty cool:

Our next competititor is living a bit more on the edge, he’s going fora poor-angle shot, can he make it??

Oh, such a pity folks, but thatbeep just didn’t go through
Oh my goodness!!  What does this guy think he’s doing?!? People this is unbelievable!!  He just pulled an inverted beep!

And now what? Will these crazies stop at nothing?!  This is a totally genuine under the leg!!

Wow.
I don’t know about you guys, but that was just plain awesome.  Let’s hear it for the Beepers!
Next up are the stampers:
Pretty basic stuff here, nothing to be amazed at.

That’s Sarah’s hand by the way   I really think she couldhave done better if she had tried harder.  Such a pity.

Thank you all for coming, I hope you enjoyed the show.

The beeper is talking to you.

“Come and beep me” “Please, come and beep me”

You know why I spend my Wednesday afternoons doing this?  Because of people like this:

No, I did not give him candy to do that.

But seriously, we have an awesome library.

So many books, so little time.
And, what’s even better is that I got to put my own “Out of Order” sign on a computer!

Yeah, well anyways, I’d better be off…

Hey people,
Last night we had the longest powercut that we’ve had in a while, atleast 8 hours!  Seeing as that kept me from going on the computer andthe internet (horror of horrors), I was forced to find other ways toamuse myself.  I went up to my room with two candles, and sat downwith my guitar, played for a while, and then I wrote a song!  It’snot that great, but it was a lot of fun!  As Darren put it: “Let’sjust say the words are better than the music.”   I mightpost the words sometime later, once I’ve got it a bit morepolished.  But I will tell you that it’s based on the passageMatthew 25:34-40.

And now it’s time for Stupid Things that Trevor Does!!  Aren’t youexcited?  Because of the candles last night I had the box ofmatches sitting up in my room.  I have now learned that box ofmatches + Trevor = trouble  I had the urge to burn some stuff, so I put a Kleenex in a plasticdish-thing-with-sides and lit it.  No problem.  Then I startadding old matches.  A bit bigger, but still no problem. Then the plastic starts to melt.  I think “Wow, that’s awesome,let’s make it melt to cover everything inside!”  *Adds 2 moreKleenexes and a bunch of matches*  Suddenly, I have aproblem.  I learned a new scientific fact.  Plastic burns.
Yeah.
So the Kleenex is just about gone, and the fire keeps on burning, and Itry blowing it out, and Rachel is there watching me, and my mind wentblank.  In my 20-20 hindsight I should have pushed it out into ourtiled courtyard below where it could have damaged nothing, but no, Ihad to leave it sitting on my painted windowsill.  I tell Rachelto get away, grab a plastic hairspray cap and sprint to the bathroom toget some water.  I slip on the wet floor and slide into the sink,knocking it against the wall and cracking a large chunk off ofit!  I get water, sprint back to my room and douse the roaringblaze… ok, so it was 1 flame 2 inches high  And it all ended happily.  Whew.  *Makes a mental note neverto burn something in a plastic container*  The result:
From this:

to this:

Now I must be off, for the library and beyond… Trevor is seen flying off into the distance.
