Snow Day!

November and December, 2009

I got my first snow day! I've never seen so much of the fluffy white stuff before. I wasn't sure what to think about it, but daddy gave me a good introduction by tossing me in the deep end. I'll need to work on my snow ball throwing, because I couldn't get him back very well. Mommy did come to provide some assistance though, which is good because I was in deep. The snow day ended up being extended right into Christmas break so I got two whole weeks off! Plenty of time to practice harrassing daddy and our new kitty. I used our Christmas tree as a training course for kitty, but unfortunately it proved to not be cat proof so mommy replaced it with a Christmas penguin. Speaking of kitty, I had him complete trained by Christmas day to assist me with unwrapping. The less work I have to do on my own, the better! The haul was pretty good again this year, although I didn't get the new dinosaur minion I've been wanting. I guess I'll have to get back to trying to genetically engineer one. – Xavier






Learning new skills

September and October, 2009

It has taken me a while to learn that I won't learn many useful skills if I just sit around in my lair plotting all day, so it was time to go off to school. I was quite nervous about it at first, and wasn't so sure I really wanted to go (or maybe it was just the terrible weather that day. In either case, by the end of my first day I was hooked. So many new skills to learn that can help me achieve my goals and plenty of new people to charm with my charisma! It hasn't all been fun and games though. I've had to go through an internship for the local nobility. What a pain, always pick up this, put away that, stand up, sit down, don't sit on the cat. No room at all for creative expression I tell you. Anyways, after the internship I was promoted to apprentice Sith! I've heard eventually I'll get my own lightsaber, but for now I just get to wear the uniform. – Darth Xavier




What I did on my Summer Vacation!

July and August, 2009

During my research, I discovered it is traditional to write an essay the first week of school on what you did during your summer vacation. Well I might as well have one prepared in case I need it, so here goes. I started out with few weeks visiting the family in Arizona. I was going to fly, but these baggage fees are starting to get ridiculous. Instead, I decided to take a truck and enjoy the trip. On the way I met Stitch and we both share a love for destroying things. It was a perfect match in a friend! I also took the time to show Uncle George how to use the swing set properly. I'm not very good at giving direction though, so I decided to spend some time just hanging out and enjoying the remainder of my time off. The pool was absolutely beautiful this summer and I spent some time with mom, dad, and Jane honing my underwater demolition skills. You just never know what kind of talents you'll need when you're planning on world domination. Speaking of which, the more I learn, the more I believe I might not need an army of minions to take over everything. It seems people pay way too much attention to celebrities and listen to whatever they happen to say. Between my good lucks and obvious talents, starting a band may be the best way to go. I wonder how hard it would be to insert subliminal messages into my drum solos? Anyways, if I'm going to go that route first thing I need to do is get a better lead guitarist. Daddy looks burnt out and we haven't even started touring yet! Well I've got to get off to school.. see ya next month – Xavier








Cash for clunkers?

May and June, 2009

I heard that President Obama just signed a cash for clunkers deal. That's good because the car I drive at the park is definitely a clunker. It is hard to get respect as an evil genius when driving such a lousy car! I built a custom jack so I could replace the bum tires, but it didn't work out so well. Mechanical work just isn't my forte. I tried to do some upgrades and customizations, but I somehow just ended up with more parts then I started with. Oh well, I've got minions to clean up after me so no worries, be happy. I'm still looking for a permanent top secret hidden base worthy of someone of my talents, but I haven't had any luck yet. Most of the really good lairs are below ground and I just haven't gotten the hang of these ladder things quite yet. When I do find a place, it must absolutely have swing sets though. I could have my minions push me for hours on end and just enjoy the ride. Now if only I could figure out how to stop. Have a great summer! – Xavier





Slacker!

March and April, 2009

What a slacker! Dad had been too busy to update my website on a regular basis. So what if he is working two jobs, playing WoW, and studying for certification exams. He needs to remember... the world revolves around me! Everyone else in the family seems to have gotten them message. While daddy was busy playing around, I got some information from my top intelligence analyst that some giant bunny would be bringing everyone candy and raising people from the dead (I might have that part wrong, must do further research). I thought a giant bunny could be extremely useful in my plans, so i set out to catch this so called Easter Bunny. In order to do this, I needed to get some giant animals of my own. So I ordered the ACME Jr. Mad Scientist and Genetic Engineering kit and began experimenting on Mrs. Kitty. Unfortunately, Mrs. Kitty didn't like being experimented with and Grandpa had to whisk me to safety. It is a good thing that train was waiting for me. After the all clear, I decided to take it easy for a bit. It was time to unbutton the collar, and catch some R&R. Happy trails! – Xavier







Hibernation

January and February, 2009

Hello my faithful followers. I apologize for the delayed update, but mommy's camera wasn't behaving and it was properly punished. A new replacement has been found so expect more pictures of my greatness next month! It has been a quiet few months for me, I watched the Super Bowl with daddy and even did my best attempt at going long. Unfortunately in my lair, there just isn't enough room for a long run. I bet on the Cards to win though, and when I lost mommy made me look ridiculous. How can they do that to someone of my importance? I demand justice! I'm not a huge fan of Winter either. Too cold, too long, and too boring. It gives me a great chance to catch up on my sleep though. Being an evil genius is tougher then it looks and I need my beauty rest. At least I was able to get mom to make a bed for me. - Xavier
