Shrimp Are Known For Being Put Into Dipping Sauce

What's that little kids TV show that starts out, "Hello, It's a wonderful day"? It has like a corny British accent... I want to say The Love Bugs but that doesn't seem right at all...

Anyway, I'm kind of bummed since the Kung Fu Panda Soundtrack isn't on playlist.com, so you don't get to hear the awesome theme. It's pretty sweet.
More soundtrack excitement, I have finally found some sheet music from Batman. Corynorhinus I have found before, it's from Batman Begins, but it's a piano part. I found this, it's also a piano part (because the people who print the music are anti-violin) but it's the Dark Knight Overture.The best though is the score featuring "Introduce A Little Anarchy," "Harvey Two-Face," and, "A Dark Knight." Those are the best songs ever!!!! Well, besides all the other Batman songs...
I'll have to see if I can persuade Mrs. Tuke next year to get the score...

Okey, when you hear about an awesome superhero in San Francisco, that will be me, (don't give away my secret identity). My dad and I were looking around online one day when I asked him if there was such a thing as a grappling gun. Well, it turns out there is, and I am going to have one eventually. That will be my prime super weapon. I'll also use ninja stars probably, because those are just cool, so I can nail people up to walls and stuff by their shirts. That would be sweet. Anyway, here is the Tactical Pneumatic Launch System (T-PLS). The best part of that picture is how at the top of the page you think it's tiny, but when you scroll down it's like as tall as that guy.

I was rather upset at Barnes and Noble the other day, because they didn't have the Killing Joke comic book. It was a real bummer.

Soooo, I read half of the unabridged The Count Of Monte Cristo (approximately 750 pages) all in about two days, and I finally decided to switch to the unabridged. I finished it in about one. There are actually a lot of differences between the abridged and the unabridged. They are translated completely differently. It's quite strange. I could go off on a rant about the counselors (it relates to Monte Cristo) but I think I've already complained about them to everybody.

I also finished my writing contest entry last night. I might put it up, I might not. It depends on if anybody even wants to read it. The funny thing is about that though, is when I was revising it, my parents started noticing words I used a lot, and I used the word "had" 58 times, and "stomach" about seven. My entry was eleven double spaced pages long, so thats like, five or six a page. Wow... I have got to be more careful with those words...

So, if you would like to read my contest piece "A Helping Hand" then hit me with a comment and maybe I'll post it up, I just don't want to right now because I would have to switch computers and that sounds like a real drag.

HAHA XOXO

What If It IS Something In The Trees!

Let me start this out with a little freak-out about the fact that there are only nine days left of the term. HOLY CRAP THERE ARE ONLY NINE DAYS LEFT FOR THIS TERM!!! Yeah, I'm on page 200 of Monte Cristo still. The unabridged version. Only 1300 more...

Okay I'm done now. Really I am... I just can't believe there are only nine days left.

Just kidding. I'm really done now. Just for kicks, I decided I am going to do a little movie review. This past weekend my mom went to Portland to visit my aunt, and so I was left home with my dad and brother. Oh joy. It was okay actually, but we did end up watching a lot of movies, and in my brothers case, playing a lot of Runescape. The three movies we actually rented were The Happening, Iron man, and The Mist. I thought they were all pretty bad, so I'm going to write a review for you guys, but you should still see the movies just because I want you to waste hours of your life watching stupid, pointless movies, and being mad at yourself for wasting your own time. Hey, watch this if you like wasting time.

Movie Numero Uno: Iron man.
We watched this one Friday night. For all the hype about this movie, I was very disappointed. There were all kinds of moments while I was watching and all I could think was, "How stupid can you be?" Like when he's taken hostage, they lock him in a room full of explosives, and explosive device pieces (which he knows how to utilize) and they expect him not to escape. Also, there were many scenes that were very unrealistic. When they invent holograms, I'm going to be the first person to own one, but so far, they're just in the movies. It's pretty stupid to throw holograms into a movie if you're trying to make it look like it could happen today. The acting was also nothing special (maybe Heath Ledger has spoiled me), and the main character's goatee was driving me insane the entire time.

Moving on: The Happening.
This was the second movie we watched, this time on a Saturday. If you have this, or are planning on watching it, WATCH THE DELETED SCENES!!! There is this hilarious one... oh my goodness. I'll have to see if I can find a video for it. Nope, I just checked and it's nowhere to be found. That's too bad. The best part about that scene was that the violinist was playing the same song that I am playing right now. Anyway, the acting in this movie was also horrible, and the gore was ridiculous. It had kind of a stupid storyline, but I thought the ending was pretty good. We only got it because M. Night Shyamalan is one of my favorite Directors (Hello Sixth Sense and Lady in the Water). Anyway, I would only suggest watching it if you find horror movies humorous.

Lastly: The Mist
The acting was bad, the CGI was also bad, but the story is really good in the end. The end is really sad and powerful, but I had some questions when we got to it. This is rated R (I think The Happening is too) and it's mostly because of the language. There is one lady that you absolutely despise by the end, and I am so grateful I have never met anyone like her in real life. Oh, and this is based on the Steven King book, so you would probably like it Mr. T.

Okay, those aren't the best movie reviews, but I happen to like talking about them, so I gave it a shot.

I had some other things I was going to say, but the movie review got me to the level I needed to be, so I say adieu (and a better do than the ones you have on your head!)

"No, actually. It's Father... And this is the famous composer Igor Stravinsky... Along with the Manchester Children's Orchestra... and a few members of the Ube trbe. We're here to stop you by performing Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring, at a very specific tempo. And quickly... I have to get the children back for supper..."

HAHA XOXO

And He Slithered and He Slunk With a Smile Most Unpleasant! (When Does A Killer Not Kill?)

The first person to get the riddle, "When does a killer not kill?" wins the award of feeling special. So in the Long Halloween comic book there is a vigilante criminal that batman is trying to find dubbed "Holiday" since he or she strikes on major holidays. So, in the Riddler's words, "When does a killer not kill?" Just see if you can figure it out. Think holidays...

I know I did a blog yesterday, but I've had a ton of free time tonight, so I figured I might as well just do one now and not have to worry about it over the long break. Mr. T asked me what I was going to be for Halloween, so I will elaborate on that. If I would have planned better, a bunch of my friends and I would go as Joker thugs with my brother, since he's the Joker, and then every house we hit we could simply say we were robbing. It would be pretty cool, but like I said, I didn't plan early enough. What I am actually going to be is an 1850's southern gentleman. I got this cool bowler hat from Zurchers, and some suspenders from hot topic. The crowning jewel of my costume however, is the tie I got from riverjunction.com. I think that it is really cool. It is the first tie on that page.

Before I forget: Whatsername, track three "Introduce A Little Anarchy" is the song with the bass. See if you can hear it. It starts approximately 27 seconds in.

In other news, my LEGO Batman game keeps having all these weird glitches, and it's really starting to annoy me. I'm starting to wonder if we got one of the games before they were really supposed to be released, because I thought that they weren't supposed to come out until the next Tuesday when we bought it, but we were like... What the heck? We'll just get it now. I'm thinking that that's why we have so many glitches. It was a pre-release game, before they could get all the bugs worked out of it.

The song I have first is one of the violin songs I will be learning soon (hopefully.) I just think it is really cool. I have always loved it when two instruments are playing the exact same notes, but at different times, and it comes out sounding so amazing. The last song is the one I'm working on now, and it's not nearly as impressive, but by the end of practicing it, my arm feels like it's going to fall off. In fact, today after I practiced the hard spots and then played it all the way through, I felt my arm and it was a good ten degrees hotter than my bowing arm. This is because Vivaldi was a horrible man who couldn't make up his mind (sharp or flat? how about both!) and wanted all violinists arms to fall off. Or maybe that was Mozart. Or maybe it was both...

I do find it really ironic that the first song you learn to play as a violinist is Mozart's "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" (or the ABCs if you'd like) but the next time you play Mozart is in book nine; there are only ten books total, and books nine and ten consist of only one song each.

I believe I have reached the required word mark, and now I will attempt at fulfilling my dream of getting to bed before ten o clock.

HAHA XOXO

Dang You! Dang You All To Heck!!!

On Saturday, my family went to Park City. We stayed in this hotel, and my brother and I were way excited since it had this gigantic flat screen TV. We don't have a flat screen at our house, so whenever we see one it's like "oooh, cool." Since hotels are kind of retarded, and don't have DVD players, we brought our PS2 so we could watch Madagascar (one of the best movies ever!) and so we could also play LEGO Batman. So about an hour before my parents left to go see a David Byrne concert, I asked my dad to help me plug in the PS2. After we had it all set up, I realized that I had left the controllers at home. To make a long story short, I was rather upset. Luckily we had my dad's laptop, so at least we could watch Madahooha (not hooha, asgar!). So before we decided to just watch it on the laptop my parents suggested we just buy a movie from the directory on the hotel TV. We kept trying to press the menu button, but it wouldn't bring up the right "Menu" when we called Adam, the customer service guy, he told us he'd send somebody up. This is now 15 minutes until my parents need to go. This guy finally gets to our room, and spends about twenty five minutes trying to fix it. He announced that he was done, and my parents hurriedly left (they were a little late). After they were gone, my brother and I decided to buy Kung Fu Panda. Well, in the end, we didn't buy it, since it was 13 dollars.
Our next adventure in the Marriot was looking for a microwave. My brother called the customer service, and Adam told us to take it to the front desk. When we did, Mark (Here's your name tag Mark!!) said he couldn't do it for us, and that we had to take it downstairs to the employee break room. We went on a quest to find this employee break room, but the majority of the doors were locked, so we went back upstairs and told him we were lost. (He was actually pretty cute, which made it more awkward). This time he told us to look for the room that was green. When we got off the elevator, we saw a guy walking out of a green room. We grabbed the door before it closed, and finally found our microwave.

After we watched Madagascar, my brother went for a swim, and I worked on more of my homework, (which has taken me a total of 6 hours to do). Then, while my brother was showering off, I watched "Lockdown Pendleton Juvenile" on MSNBC. It was really unnerving, because one of the kids on that show, something Shauntee, reminded me of this kid I knew. It was kind of freaky really, because this kid in a juvenile facility reminded me of someone that I really liked. I kind of have an odd fascination with criminals. Maybe I should be a psychiatrist. It has just kind of weirded me out, because I like this person that I've never met before, who talks about how he has all kinds of disorders. SSD (social setting disorder, or something like that, which apparently simply means socializing freaks him out), ADHD, ADD (I guess they're different), Bipolar disorder, and whatever it's called when you hurt yourself. He would be considered a masochist I suppose, but he says he can't feel it when he hurts himself. I just think it's weird that whenever I see someone like that, or hear about someone, I'm kind of drawn to them. Very Strange.

HAHA XOXO

You'll Thank Me Later... (that's my line!)

So, I've been reminding myself all day long to do my blog. Here I am at eight at night doing one. Wow the week goes by fast.

Well, I'm listening to The Dark Knight, but not just for the heck of it. (Okay, maybe it is for the heck of it...) Anyway, I'm putting The Dark Knight and Batman Begins on CDs because I'm getting sick of having to plug in my iPod just to listen to it. So on my new computer, I think I mentioned before, (Thank you Mom and Dad!) You can actually use the laser that burns CDs to burn a picture on to the top of the CD. So right now I'm working on making this really awesome cover for the CD. The new computer is actually a gift and a curse, since it will soon be the family's computer.

This is about twenty minutes later... The Lightscribe application is having issues and I'm kind of bummed. My Internet is also having issues which is oh so fun. Sometimes computers are really annoying. So anyway, I've been working on this CD cover, and it's having this issue with printing. The "print using Lightscribe" should be right next to print but it's not there. Weird......

My brother, mother and I went to Savers today to look for a Halloween costume for my brother. There was one costume that came with its own hat and hair, but it was too expensive for Dylan. His idea of expensive is anything more than 5 dollars though, so that might not be saying too much. My brother's idea for a costume is The Joker. He wants to simply buy a costume online that is all one piece. Our idea (the rest of my family's) is to find each of the clothing pieces separately. I think it would be a lot cooler but there are not a lot of purple suits to go around. There should be... but there aren't.

We went to my mom's friends' houses for a get together with her work friends. The Grames' house was very nice. The Grameses were as nice as their house. Thomas' Blackberry had interesting content that my mother would not like me to share, and my brother should not have seen. Both of the other women's desserts were very good. We had apple cake with rum sauce and chocolate chip zucchini bread. I did not get to try any of the men's cooking since it was all meat or fish. It was a very entertaining... well, day.

I'm finishing up this blog now at 9:45 PM. It has taken me almost two stinking hours to do. That's alright though because I finished plenty of stuff in the meantime. I still need to sync my iPod and get The Village soundtrack on it. I am also super excited to listen to the Madagascar soundtrack. That is one of my favorite movies ever, and I never realized that the composer for the music was Hans Zimmer (my new favorite dude... almost as cool as Pythagoras, but that's another story).

Peace Out

HAHA XOXO
