This entry has no name. But it does. But it doesn't.

Hey again. Sorry it's been so long. I got a Facebook and, well, you know what that means. But two weeks ago I had driver's ed...which was long, boring, and terrifying at the same time. Last week I had VBS at my church, in which I did skits every morning with my friends. It was a lot of fun! I also helped with drama and woodworking. So today, I'm really tired. But anyway. Drop me a comment!

Another day, another gigantic monster bent on world domination.....

Hey everybody. Back again. I've been really busy lately, please forgive me for not writing.

Because it is American Idol season again, I haven't watched many movies lately. Sorry! I will say this: I've reviewed 'It Happened One Night' and I've said this but I'll say it again: this is the coolest movie ever.

Guess what? I GOT A SUPERIOR AT THE PIANO CONTEST! I am so happy. Now I get to go the the state competition on April 18.....yipes! I'm nervous but excited.

Be forewarned....more movie reviews will approach quickly and stealthily as you enter my blog. Do not resist them.

Talk to you later,

TPK

Hello-ums, everyones-ums.

Hey again. I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've written! I have been very, very busy, with school, choirs starting, drama, lit class, homework, piano, memorization, the Super Bowl, the homeschool formal dance, game night, snow, and a billion other things. Yes, I did say the homeschool formal! I went, and it was so much fun. A bunch of my friends and I got ready together, and we all went and danced all night. :) It was fabulous!

The Super Bowl was pretty cool; I went to a Super Bowl party and was sort of going for the Steelers. They won!

We got quite a bit of snow the other day! My sister and I went out and 'played' in it, which really includes sledding down the hills in the bike jump across the street, having snowball fights, and stuffing snow down each other's pants.

Well, write me a comment!

Dorkity Porkity and the Creepiest Buzzard

Hello again, everybody! My dad is being dorky and asdkfjhkhj banging on the keys. Oh well.

Well, since I really haven't watched any other movies recently, besides the last ones, I thought maybe I'd tell you what I'm reading now.

-Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

-The Watsons Go To Birmingham, 1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis

-The Ruby in The Smoke by Phillip Pullman

-The Tales of Beetle The Bard by J.K. Rowling

-The Prophecy of The Stones by Flavia Bujor

-The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkein

So, anyway. I really must recommend The Watsons Go To Birmingham 1963 to you. It is very funny and quite well written.

                     "Dorkity Porkity and The Creepiest Buzzard"

                                 ~~~~~A Fairy Tale~~~~~

                    Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Bill. Bill was, unfortunately, just a wee bit dorky, and therefore, the evil bully in the village, Hector, called Bill 'Dorkity Porkity' for lack of a better taunting name. (Porkity was the best rhyme he could come up with.) Bill was terribly sad and lonely, and cried every day, until one day he was walking out in the forest when he met a hag!

"Hello, little boy!" shrieked the hag.

"Eeep!" yelled Bill/Dorkity Porkity.

"You look sad, little boy, are you? Huh?" cried the hag.

"Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, old hag," sobbed Bill. "I have no friends and the village bully calls me 'Dorkity Porkity!' Can you help me?"

"Well, shhhhuuuuure!" said the hag, beaming with joy. "But I must warn you first: I am not a very good spell-caster."

"Who cares, if I can not be lonely no more!" shreiked Bill.

"That's a double negative," hissed the hag.

"Whoops!"

KAZAAAM! BOOM! "Heeeheeeheeehahahha!"

Bill, who had had his eyes squeezed shut, cracked them open. The hag had her arms stretched up in the air and a maniacal grin on her face. Standing in front of her was an old depressed-looking and rather creepy buzzard.

"Eew!" said Bill.

"This," whispered the hag reverently, "is your new best friend, Drokity-I mean, little boy!"

"Ummm...." said Bill. The buzzard just blinked.

"That'll be $29.95 plus tax," said the hag.

"What?!" yelled Bill. "I have to pay $29.95 plus tax for this creepy buzzard?! I don't even like buzzards!"

"Ohhh, but you'll like this one!" said the hag. "Watch!"

She tapped the buzzard on the head with a gnarled finger.

Nothing happened.

"Buzzard!" yelled the hag. "Go!"

Nothing happened.

"Pweease, wittle buzzard?" moaned Bill, his big deer eyes filling with tears and his lower lip quivering.

Suddenly the buzzard started to tap-dance.

"Hooray!" yelled the hag and Bill at the same time.

And so, when Bill had gone home and pleaded with his mother for $29.95 plus tax, and he had given it to the hag, the buzzard and Bill played together all day long and became bestest friends, and the hag took her $29.95 plus tax and spent it on a big hoagie.

                                THE END.

Well, I guess I'll talk to you later.

For he's a jolly good fellow....

Hey again, folks. Today's Tuesday in my part of the world, and yesterday school started again. Not so bad, although science is giving me fits at the moment. Chemistry! Yipes!

MOVIE REVIEWS: (and a dang lot of them!)

Miss Potter: starring Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor. This movie is a biography of the life and times of Beatrix Potter (Zellweger) as she writes such famous children's stories as Peter Rabbit and The Tale of Benjamin Bunny. This is also about her editor, Norman Warne (McGregor) who she falls in love with as she works with him. I won't tell the ending, but it's awfully sad and a very very beautiful movie.

King Kong: (1933) starrring Fay Wray and Robert Armstrong. Fay Wray plays a young, out of work girl who's picked up by a movie director (Armstrong) and whisked away to a distant pacific island with a dark secret. When they get there, however, the come upon a native tribe who about offer a girl up as 'the bride of Kong.' The chief notices them, and says that Ann-the girl-would make a much better bride for Kong anyway. 'No way,' says the director, and they run back to the ship. But late that night Ann gets kidnapped by the natives and offered to Kong. Now, when Kong comes out, I must admit that he looks like a stuffed animal, but this movie was top of it's class and first of it's kind at the time, and I think it's worth watching.

Modern Times: starring Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard. This movie was also produced and directed by Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin plays a worker in a steel mill who gets thrown out of work and is forced to find another job during the Depression. Goddard plays a young girl whose father is killed in an unemployment riot, and escapes from the juvenile officers who were trying to take her away. Chaplin and Goddard meet and have a series of adventures together. This movie seamlessly mixes physical comedy and social commentary, and although it is a silent film, it is amazingly expressive and very worth watching.

We also watched 'It Happened One Night' again. That is SUCH a good movie! Did I already talk about this? I think I did.

Well, as they say in France, au revoir.

This entry has no name, and no home. It's very lonely.

Yaaaaaaah! I'm writing this entry as a viking! Kill whale! Eat! Walrus! Yaaay! Yaaaah! Board ship! Sail away! Yaaaah!

That was so stupid that I'm not going to even talk about it.

Today was Sunday. We didn't have Sunday School, so we just went to the service. It was pretty cool. I can't wait for the 14th of January! That's when drama starts again! And choir, on the same day. My friend is directing the play this year, and she wrote it, too. I think it'll be really cool. And that thing I wrote with my other friend for the last play? We'll do another one, probably. So exciting.

I told you guys that for Christmas we got two plastic lightsabers-blue and red. And so, my sister and I love to act out scenes from Star Wars in the back yard. Dorky? Not! Cool? Totally. Whoever uses the red one can either play Anakin, Darth Vader (yes, there is a difference!), Count Dooku, General Grievous, Darth Maul...basically any Sith. Whoever uses the blue can play Luke or Obi-Wan, but sometimes we just use it for any good guy. Even Leia, sometimes. It's sooooo cool!

Greek beets for dinner. Did I say greek beets? Green beans. This entry is not going very well.

Well, drop me a comment!

God bless us, every one!

Hi again. Merry Christmas! How is everybody? My grandma is here, visiting from TX right now, and we are on break from school. Here's some stuff I got for Christmas:

-a plastic lightsaber (yes!)

-this beautiful cultured pearl necklace, earrings and bracelet

-a new journal

-a Calvin and Hobbes book!

-a calligraphy set

and some other fantastic stuff. My family is so cool and God has blessed us so much.

Movie review:

Andy Hardy and Debutante: I just saw this yesterday. Starring Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, this is another movie in the Hardy family series. I didn't see the very first ones, but you can kind of jump in anywhere. Andy Hardy is a boy who lives in a small town with his family, his father, Judge Hardy, his mother and his sister. He idolizes a society belle, collecting her pictures, and even boasting that he met her once. When his father tells him that they're going to New York, the place where the girl lives, Andy's friends pressure him to come back with pictures of him and the girl. This is a very funny movie, although Mickey Rooney is a little hokey sometimes. You should watch it.

Plus, over Christmas, we watched It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, tons of TV Christmas specials, How The Grinch Stole Christmas (not the real people one, the good one) and a Charlie Brown Christmas, although I missed it while cleaning the cat box. (*sobs*)

Did I tell you how the madrigal feast went? It went wonderfully! It was so much fun.

Well, drop me a comment!

Anakin! Drop!

Hey again, everyone. Today is Saturday. Yay! I'm so happy.

Movie Review:

Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace:  This is the beginning of the saga. I actually forgot how much I liked this one. Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) are dispatched to the planet of Naboo to settle a Federation/Naboo government dispute. Unfortunately, it doesn't go as planned. They end up escaping, with the queen of Naboo, Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman) to the sandy, desolate planet of Tatooine. There they meet a very interesting little boy named Anakin Skywalker and his mother, and in a desperate deal to get parts for their damaged ship, bet everything on a pod-race. This movie is full of hints toward the future, like Anakin giving Padme the necklace, and how Anakin is 'the one to fulfill the prophecy.' You should watch this one!

Well, I forgot to tell you, but the play at church went really, really well! It was fun. Piano lesson went well on Thursday-I got a new Christmas piece!

Drop me a comment! Parlez-vous francais?

He went home to see his dad, then he asked for a job......

Hey again everybody. It's Wednesday afternoon, and today is the last kid's club meeting of the semester. That means an end-of-semester party in catechism and a final rehearsal (before the dress rehearsal) in drama. I'm not really, really  nervous but it is a little scary. But it'll pull together, right? Right.

Well, we watched the election returns last night. We voted for McCain-Palin, so it was quite disappointing when we heard that Obama won. Well, whatever God gives us is best, so Obama must be in his plan for this nation. We will have to trust God about this.

MOVIE REVIEWS:

Gentlemen Prefer Blonds: starring Jane Russell and Marylin Monroe. The two girls play Lorelei (Monroe), a woman who loves her fiancee-but loves diamonds better, and Dorothy (Russell), her best friend. Lorelei's fiancee's father forbids the marriage, but Lorelei comes up with a scheme: go to Paris, the city where the marriage is supposed to take place, and wait while her fiancee trys to convince his father. Dorothy goes along as a chaperone. Unfortunately, Lorelei and Dorothy meet a rich, older man with a diamond mine on the boat, and Lorelei's love for diamonds overtakes her. This is a pretty good movie, although corny in places, but Jane Russell really does sing well, and the musical numbers are not bad.

Return of The Jedi: This is a very good movie. I like how the beginning flows, how Leia sneaks into Jabba's palace, and how Luke saves them all. I don't like it quite as much as ESB (The Empire Strikes Back) but that may be because I like the settings of Cloud City and Hoth better than the setting of Endor, but that's just me. This is still a fantastic movie, but WATCH 4 AND 5 FIRST!

Some Like It Hot: (I've already talked about this once, but here's the formal review.) Starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marylin Monroe. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis play two musicians, Jerry and Joe, who witness a shooting. Desperate to get out of town, and to get some money, they join an all-women band, dressed as 'Josephine' and 'Daphne.' On the train, they meet Sugar (Monroe.) They are both naturally attracted to Sugar, but as they are disguised as women, they can't betray their bluffs. When they get to Florida, they place their band is playing, 'Daphne' meets an old millionare who won't stop following him, and 'Josephine' thinks up a brilliant scheme to get Sugar.  This movie is amazingly funny and quite worth watching. (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are fantastic together.)

Well, I've got to go. Drop me a comment!

He's more machine than man now, twisted and evil.

Hello. It's late Wednesday night. I'm very tired.

Guess what? We placed 3rd in the tournament! That's pretty good, considering we had 3 injuries at the tournament. It was terrible, actually. We had one girl tear her ACL (for those who know what that is, you know that this is really, really bad), a twisted ankle and a broken arm. Yikes. But even through the injuries were very bad, and this will sound weird, I think we all still had a pretty good time. The middle school got the championship, though, and that was great, so we were happy for them.

And then it was my 14th birthday. That was great. We had a hummingbird cake (coconut, pineapple, banana, pecans) with cream cheese icing. Oh, and in my family we have this tradition of putting a favorite character from the year on the top of the cake in icing, so this year I put Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes, the comic strip. (They wouldn't let me do Anakin Skywalker!) But Hobbes was really cute.

Did I write about my Chopin waltz? That's the Romantic piece I picked. It's very old, very long and very famous. I love it but it's seriously killer.

And now, 2 weeks of birthday cakes, waltzes, broken arms, algebra, French, creepy priests (don't ask,) and snow have past and it's Wednesday night.

Well, drop me a comment!

May the force be with you.

Hey again. Well, the day has finally arrived. Today my volleyball team is going to the state tournament! I'm so excited. I'm pretty much packed and ready to go, but we have to wait until my dad's doctor's appointment is over. Yesterday in practice we all got shiny green headbands and we signed each other's shirts (and wrote all over each other's legs!) So we meet at the hotel that we're all staying at and then go to the college where we play. I'm so excited.

Yesterday was also piano lesson. So, here's the story: For the contest, you also have to have a 20-21st century piece. I was going to pick one that I didn't like so much because it was easier. But she played one that I really loved that was harder, and yesterday I found out that somebody else chose the easy one so I could take the challenge and do the one I really liked. :)

Triceps! Biceps!

Hey. It's 11:00 PM. I just got back from a volleyball game that was 1 and a half hours away. We lost, which was sad. The varsity girls and varsity boys soccer also lost, though, so it wasn't a terrible blow. It's wierd to think that the tournament is this weekend, though.

MOVIE REVIEW:

That Touch Of Mink: starring Cary Grant and Doris Day. Doris Day plays a hard-working, small town girl who meets a handsome, wealthy tycoon (Cary Grant.) She suggests marriage, but he isn't interested, and she has to come up with a way to convince him. This is a movie made in the 60's. Some of it has bad morals, such as when he asks her to go to Bermuda with him, but not as a married couple. It has some good moments, though. Doris Day always plays such a ditz!

Well, got to go. Send me a comment!

Hello. It's Sunday night....I'm tired. I went to youth group this evening-it was pretty cool. I'm feeling a little stretched right now, though. I have so much that I'm trying to do right now-homework, classes, choir music, piano practice, volleyball......and on top of that, my birthday is a week from Tuesday! I hardly have time to think about it. My team's going to the state volleyball tournament this weekend! Ahhhh! I hope we do well!

This is going to be very dangerous, Commander Solo...

Hi again, everyone. It's Friday (finally!). Yesterday was Thursday. I had piano lesson. And I did it again! I always, always do this! When she shows me the contest pieces, I always pick the hardest one! I picked a 5-6 page Chopin waltz. I just remember her looking at me and sternly saying, "This is going to take a lot of work." I just grinned and said, "Yep!" And now......

Well, last night I also had a volleyball game. We played a varsity game, which is best 3 out of 5, and it took 5 whole games. We were so exhausted at the end, but we WON! Yay! And guess what? The volleyball tournament is NEXT WEEKEND! AAAAH!

Well, I have practice today. :)

So you pass the banana to your team mate and do the chicken dance...

Hi again. Today was Sunday. My mom was sick so she didn't go to church. I had to do nursery- 2's and 3's again. I love that age-they're so cute! Plus my best friend was in there, and her little brother. Tonight I went to youth group. It was so fun! We played a relay game where you passed off a banana and did all these crazy things....it was great. I had to do the chicken dance. And we won!!!!! Serious fun!

Well, drop me an omelet!

I got my Classical piece for the contest. Whoo. I always do this! I get starstruck at the lesson and pick the hardest piece for a contest, then I have to learn it! She actually said, "This is the hardest piece." And I said, "I want it!" Oh well. It's beautiful anyway.

Guess what. My sister had two soccer games on Saturday. She won one and lost one. (By the way. please visit my sister, hotlipsbarton, at her blog!) But anyway. For the first game, I was facing the sun. I put sunscreen on my arms, but my neck got really sunburnt! I always do this! Auuugh! And this morning, at church, everybody was, like, "Hey, were you out in the sun yesterday?" or "You have a really bad sunburn!" or "I like your red tattoos! Whoops! Another sunburn, huh?" Auugh!

Tote that barge! Lift that bale!

Hey again everybody. Today was Monday.....I had class then I went to the last half of volleyball practice.  Pretty fun. Tomorrow is a game!

I had to write an essay this morning. Really fast. I will never leave my homework that late again!

Guess what? This Thursday I get two of the pieces for the contest this year!!!! I'm so excited! I can't wait to hear them. I hope they aren't as hard as last year.

Last night we watched a Masterpiece Theater called, "Shadow From The North." It was so good! Except my favorite guy died......it was very sad......but you should watch it if it ever comes on.

Jot a comment down on a scrap of paper, then put the comment on a train, then send it to a young man in a gopher suit that will be waiting at the station, then the gopher guy will get on a horse and ride it to an airport, where the pilot will take it and stuff it in his gym bag, and it will fly over a nature reserve, where the pilot will chuck it out the window and it will land on a bald eagle's back, and that eagle will fly all the way up into thy sky and the comment will become attatched to a rocket, where it will travel up, up, up into the atmosphere and then fly off and hit a star destroyer, but that star destroyer (which, by the way, is huge and round and black and looks like a moon from a distance) will get blown up by a farmboy in an X-wing fighter, but the comment won't get hurt: it hits this certain farmboy's X-wing, and he carries it back to another planet, where it will accidentally get put in a paper shredder. Some awful, littering alien will dump his trash out on the road, but, as this is a galaxy far, far away, the road is really a starship. The starship takes off and your comment falls millions and billions of miles back sown to earth, where it lands in a tree in Yellowstone National Park. A bear gets this comment stuck to his claw, and a kind park ranger takes it off and takes it home. She goes to a birthday party that night, and the comment falls out of her pocket and gets stuck to the boot of a cowboy who happens to be there. When he gets home, after the rollicking party, he takes off his boot and finds the comment stuck to the bottom. He chuckles, wondering how it got there, and he thinks it's so funny that he emails his friend and tells her about it. This friends happens to be you, and you say, "Woah, that's that comment I tried to get to carygrant19!" So you got to this website, get on my blog and click on 'post a comment.' You write the contents of this comment in the comment box and click send, never knowing where this particular comment has been.......

She unfortunately became ill........

Hey everybody. I've been sick and dead busy, which is why I haven't written. Sorry! How are you doing? Everything's OK here....volleyball is alright, school is fine. We have to drive two hours away for a game on Thursday and the so-called 'gas crisis' (as I'm sure you've all heard about) is supposedly getting worse. I'll probably have to carpool again. (oh, joy!)

MOVIE REVIEW:

Cover Girl: starring Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth. This is an odd movie, made in the 40's, but a good one! Kelly stars as Danny, a nightclub owner who is in love with one of the girls in his club, Rusty Parker (Hayworth). She loves him too, but she has dreams of making it big, and when she hears of a cover girl contest, she jumps at the chance. When she wins, she becomes huge, and he's left in the back ground. This is a good movie, and it also stars Phil Silvers, as their sidekick.

Talk of The Town: starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur and Ronald Coleman. This is honestly one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. Cary Grant plays Leopold Dilg, an escaped convict on the run from the law. He comes upon the house of Nora Shelley (Arthur) who knew him when she was younger. She protests that it isn't her house: it's just one she's cleaning up for a new tenant, a professor for the city. This movie is a must see.....it has romance, drama, action, social commentary.......it's amazing.

Well, see you later. Got to go watch Dancing With The Stars!

Another pesky sunburn....

Hi again everybody. It's Sunday. Today I did nursery. It was pretty cool, although we had 2 criers, and we're getting used to a new nametag system. I was considering going to a youth group thing, but I'm so exhausted by the week and I had to finish homework, so I stayed home.

Speaking of sunburns, I have a bad one. I was sitting at my sister's soccer game yesterday and was just trying to get a tan on my legs and my face got burned. Stupid, stupid. I never tan, so why would I have then? Well, anyway. I have a friend who gets really good tans every summer. And what do I get? Ugly sunburns! Uggh!

Oh yes, it takes a Friday! A husky Friday!

Hi again everybody. It's finally Friday and, believe me when I say I'm extremely thankful. This week has been murder. With the odd holiday on Monday, but choir that evening, then the 3 hour drive on Tuesday, no volleyball on Wednesday but a church meeting and choir, a game on Thursday and practice on  Friday. Add piano practice, algebra and two weeks worth of homework onto that and you get exhaustion.

MOVIE REVIEW:

The Shop Around the Corner: Starring Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan. Jimmy Stewart is a shop clerk who lives and works in Budapest, Hungary. He corresponds about culture with a fascinating young woman that he's never met, and is anxious to meet. At the same time, another young woman comes to work in the same shop as him, and they immediately butt heads, arguing about everything. Finally the day comes when the young man is to meet his mystery correspondant. Suddenly, tragedy strikes.  This movie was later remade as You've Got Mail, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. (I love Tom Hanks!) This is a very good movie.
