Kingdom Hearts Video Game

Has anyone played Kingdom Hearts? I heard the new one has a three hour intro. I'm interested in this game, but don't have a PS2. Do you think it's worth getting one?

End of Summer

It's the end of summer. The most fun thing I did was visit the beach and go parasailing. Instead of being scary, it was fun and relaxing. When we looked down we could see sting rays in the ocean. What are some other fun or exciting things people did over the summer?

Favorite Books

One of my favorite books is, The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big, Round Things by Carolyn Mackler. It's about 15-year-old Virginia who is overweight and feels she doesn't fit in with her slender, brilliant, and perfect family. Her best friend just moved away and she has to deal with high school alone. Then Virginia discovers something about her older brother and realizes that her family isn't as perfect as she thought.

What are some of your favorite books?

MySpace might be blocked

The House of Representatives passed the Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA) which requires that all public schools and libraries that receive e-rate funding need to prohibit minors from using MySpace and similar sites. This still needs to be passed by the Senate to become a law.

What do you think about this?
