And another…

June 7, 2008

Well, here I am again. Did anyone one miss me? Probably not. Whatever. I’m posting again.

I’ve noticed that if you want to be seen as witty, making a joke at your own expense seems to work.

um.. can’t think of anything else to write on that topic. On to the next!!!

For all of you not in the know, I got a new shirt with and interesting saying on it. Here it is: Life is tough. And it’s going to get tougher…After I beat you.

Beat you in softball. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Softball diamonds, that is.

Anyway, here is a book review that, in my opinion, kicks butt.

Breaking Dawn- preview

This reminds me of all the other Twilight books. Despite the semi- different plot lines there is a trait they all share: they are all depressing.

By the end of the first page, your impression of Bella’s world is gray and rainy. Everyone is tired and sad. it kind of makes you want to sit down and stare off into the distance.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m sure Breaking Dawn is a wonderful book. I plan to read it. But I know I won’t get through it in one sitting. Stephanie Meyer’s “oh-my-god, I’m so in love with you” meets “sigh…being a vampire is so hard…my life is a constant void of depression” just doesn’t click with me.

Breaking Dawn comes out August 2.

My book wish list:

Pendragron (#9)

The Clique: Bratfest at Tiffany’s

That series with Percy Jackson (#4)

and others that I’m too bored to name.

Don’t worry. The next post will be more entertaining.

The Blog for which I cannot think of a title for

March 26, 2008

Yesterday I said I would blog about Montana. So here I go.

I never actually realized Montana was a state. I seriously thought it was a city. So when Kani was forced to practice reciting all the states for her test, I was like, “Whoa! Montana’s a state?!” Some people think it’s funny (which I don’t mind. I’m not that bad at laughing at myself). Some people *cough cough ‘Lina cough cough* think it’s lame. All I have to say is, like you’ve NEVER had an embarrassing moment. Personally, I don’t think you were being very nice. And at least I never went around telling people it wasn’t a state.

Anyway, now that I’ve got my righteous anger out, what should I blog about? On Demand finally brought back Winx Club (which I was addicted to last year). I hadn’t bothered to check it, so it looks like I missed a bunch of episodes, but whatever. I can find the stuff on Wikipedia. At least its on TV unlike AVATAR. Avatar is still showing no new episodes in the US, yet they’re showing them in CANADA. Why Canada? Not that I have anything against Canada (until now) but why not here? And even worse, YouTube doesn’t have the episodes. Sigh.

Well, that’s all for now. See ya (or not). As annoying people say, “The choice is yours!”

Denmark (and the world)

March 26, 2008

Well, I was going to start off with blogging about Denmark, but I’ve found something more amusing. Kani (being Kani) is telling me a game is impossible. I’m disagreeing. Kani is exploding (like a volcano).

Now, to the real topic. I encountered some guys in the bike cages. Here’s what happened.

Cast: Guy A, Guy B, Guy C

Guy A and Guy B walk up, near Guy C who is unlocking his bike.

Guy A: Hey, kid, where are you from?

Guy C: What?

Guy B: Where are you from? (then walks off)

Guy A: Are you from Sweden?

Guy C: None of your business.

Guy A: Are you from Russia?

Guy C: I’m from Denmark.

Guy A: Not Denver, what country?

Guy C: I told you, Denmark.

Guy A: What country are you from?

Guy C: Denmark!!!

Guy A: Don’t try to fool me, Denmark isn’t a country!

Guy C: Shut up.

Guy B: (has wandered back over) We can find out what country you’re from! It’s no use pretending!

Guy C: (Stalks off)

-End script-

Wow. It’s so funny how people are so stuck on their view of the world that they cannot believe anyone else. Kind of like me and Montana. But that’s another story.

So think about it and remember this: Denmark is a country.


Homework done!

February 22, 2008

Hah hah!  My homework is done!


Idol

February 20, 2008

Listening to American Idol (and Kani begging to use the computer).  This guy is actually pretty good.  So I’m not going to tell you who it is.  Kani is still trying to get me off the computer.  Hee hee.  Never!!!!

Paula seriously needs a new stylist.  Clothes that is.  Awful shirt.  Also listening to Simon being obnoxious.  No one likes you Simon!!!

Some of these people have really bad hair.  Not that I can really complain, considering the mess mine often is.  Still, dreadlocks?

Okay, I’m going.  Bye.


Cookie Monster becomes Veggie Monster

February 15, 2008

For all those who still remember Sesame Street, most have fond memories of the Cookie Monster.  Obsessed with cookies, he was one of the most- loved character.  Apparently, he encouraged childhood obesity.  So there is no longer a Cookie Monster. Now…

“V is for veggie.  That’s good enough for me.”

Now we have the VEGGIE MONSTER.  A moment of silence for the late Cookie Monster, and a rude word at Sesame Street.


Wow….

February 12, 2008

I noticed I started off the last few posts with amazement about the fact that i had blogged again.  Therefore, I feel compelled to bring to your attention that I have blogged again.

Braces really are an annoying thing.  Especially when your wire breaks and someone has to clip it and remove it with oversize wire clippers  Or something like that.  Never mind the fact that you can’t have gum.  But you can cut up your lip with the clippers.  Ah, what we do for straight teeth.

Pokemon is, for some reason, my newest obsession.  They’re so cute!!! Well, most of them are.  When you see the TV show, with Chimchar so eager to please like a puppy and little Piplups (penguin pokemon) going “Piplup!” whose heart wouldn’t be melted.  Unless you’re into Pokemon for the card game, not the cuteness of the Pokemon, in which case all I have to say to you is “You’re nerdy.”

Its time to play our newest big hit:  The procrastination game!!!

Answer this question:

When you get home you:

a) head for the TV

b)head for the computer

c)head for your homework

If you answered C and have a semi- normal life, then I think you’re just saying that to make yourself feel better.  But, whatever.  Live in your own little world.

Here is another, not so straightfoward question about moral dilemas:

So say there is a train on a track that has 5 people who are unable to move and would get hit by the train.  If you had a lever that could divert it on to another, empty track would you?  Easy, huh?

Now, say the track that your lever would put the train on had 1 person who was unable to move.  Would you divert the train onto the other track, sacrificing 1 for 5?

Now, say instead of a lever, you and another person are standing on a bridge over the track, and the only way to stop the train from hitting the 5 people is to push the person off the bridge and into the train’s way?  Could you?

Now, with that awful dilemma in mind, have a nice day!!! =)

Again!!

February 9, 2008

Well, here I am blogging again. Thats sets a record for me. Today was super sunny! =) I can’t stand cloudy days, unlike my friend Honor who is happiest when it is cloudy and cold. But at least there’s one weather we both dislike: wet! Still, I am strangely overly cheerful on sunny days.

Still, as we supposedly are having a drought (or were) guess what we got for two straight weeks: rain! Rather ironic, no?

I will never be called one to appreciate fine art. In my opinion Picasso is not so much a master as a person who likes putting noses in the wrong places. (And to all those people getting mad right now, I apologize. But, I still don’t understand abstract art.) Anyway, I looking at the poster of one of Picasso’s works, and was rather strongly informed when i inquired that it was not a sketch, it was a style of drawing. All I can say is they must have had weird eyeshadow back then.

Not much more to say, other then that the finches are (well, were) mobbing the bird feeder. But the best thing to watch is the hummingbird feeder when the hummingbirds are hungry in winter. Last year, a red- chested one (who we named Bob) took over the feeder. Others would sneak in for the free food while he wasn’t looking, but if he found them he would chase them off. It was a whole soap opera in the backyard. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen that many this winter.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. I know I will.

Yay!

February 8, 2008

Well, here I am, finally blogging. (Thanks ‘Lina) I guess I’m not quite sure what to say.

What’s your worst idea of a sport? Dodgeball or Advanced Square Dancing. So, they tell us we won’t have to do square dancing this year. Everyone is like, YAY. But no! We’re not doing SQUARE DANCING we’re doing ADVANCED SQUARE DANCING. Hmph.

I actually had an idea for a book today, that might actually work out. That is, if I ever get around to writing it. Which I probably won’t. Ah, the life of the procrastinator.

But since I’d rather invent dramatic SUMMARIES for books I am *cough cough* going to write, I’d give it a 1/100 chance of me writing it. Okay, maybe 2/100.

Anyways, anyone have an opinion on Robin Hood? If it’s a good one, forget it. I don’t want to hear it. <rant> Robin Hood is the most self- conceited, stupid- minded, most likely to have a mental disorder fictional character I have ever read about. Other then Peter Pan, and Edward from Twilight. And to all those people starting to get mad, yes I am a Jacob fan. I mean, come on! Edward is a vampire. As in bloodsucking demon. Whereas Jacob is at least human (despite the occasional wolf problem). Hmph. </rant>

Twitter wasn’t working, which is why I ended up on here today, but whatever. Maybe its overloaded with all of ‘Lina’s twitters. =) Yes, I’m talking to you, ‘Lina.

Anyway, life is good these days. At least it is for me. I dunno about the rest of you.

By the way, here is the Despair quote of the week: When you wish upon a star, your dreams can come true. Unless it’s really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you’re pretty much hosed no matter what you wished for. Unless it’s death by meteor.


Wow….

February 6, 2008

Wow. I just realized I had a blog. Okay…… Um…..ANYWAY I just decided to start again. Because I need somewhere to rant. So, I guess I’ll actually post something! *claps hands sarcastically* Really. Tomorrow.
