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

mmkay, I'm very mad. Because I just wrote this little rant here. And it didn't quite work. So now I have to retype everything. So anyways, It would be cool if we could do that with your bro. Maybe next year huh? I call Harley Quinn though, if it's alright. I saw this thing in some store, and it looked almost exactly like Harley's outfit. Except for the weird/creepy mask. So if you got rid of the mask. It would SO work. But maybe next year. And anyways before I forget. When does a killer not kill? I'm seriously asking. I really want to know. And did you know that they're making another batman movie? This one will have the riddler in it! And actually there is alot of psycology in 'Batman' characters. Like the riddler, why he leaves clues is because he thinks of things like agame, and he wants to find his mental equal. So yeah, fun fact.

Mozart hates violinists too. I can't remember if I mentioned this in my rant, but you play twinkle twinkle in book one, and then not another mozart song until the second to last Suzuki book.

If they didn't write such pretty music I would go back in time and kill them both.
