2009-05-19T06:54:00.000-07:00

Hello all of you! We will NOT be posting about our awesome adventures in Italy on our own blogs. You need to go to http://dearestnancy.wordpress.com/ to get the latest scoop about our adventures. ITALY!

My Email!

2009-05-06T16:42:00.003-07:00

My email has been taken over! Someone got my password or hacked in or something and they have been sending emails that I didn't send! For everyones safety please do NOT email me until this is all worked out. It's very recent so don't worry if you've sent me an email a while ago. Just don't send me any emails until this gets sorted out. Thanks!

Update: It has been taken care of now. Just be careful of what kind of information you send me.

Italy!

2009-05-04T17:02:00.000-07:00

As a lot of you may know I am going to Italy with my Mom in a couple weeks. When I get there I am going to post on my blog about my experiences there and upload photos too (hopefully). It should be fun!

My Newest Story

2009-04-18T21:01:00.000-07:00

I am writing a different book now! Unfortunately or not, which ever you prefer, I probably will not get back to my first story for a while because it was mostly meant to be a way to get me to like writing and was just experimental. If I get the time, I will revise and continue it another time because it needs some serious editing and re-writing. My new story I am very excited about though and I have high hopes for it. I have a title for it now and I have the whole synopsis written down so I won't forget the basic premise. It is based on a dream I had a little while ago and I have the dream written down too. The title is Life in Gold. It's a post-apocalyptic vampire thriller set in 2066. I'll tell more as I get further on. I will also release the synopsis soon.

As a bonus, I'm going to tell you the title of my experimental story and the premise. The title was Shadows of the Dead and it was about the intersecting lives of a serial killer and a high class thief as they die at the exact same time and end up brought back to life in the same body. They find out they were killed by the same person and they seek revenge and a way to get their old bodies back.

Oh My How The Time Does Fly!

2009-02-01T13:30:00.000-08:00

My goodness! I haven't posted anything since the beginning of December! Thats not too suprising but still thats a long time.
Well, to start off, I didn't win the Coldplay contest and lost to a much much better video so I'm not surprised at all. 2nd, I got a video camera for Christmas so I plan to make more videos in the future. 3rd, the Peter Pan practices have started and I have to say I really don't like this musical. I really really don't but I'm going to stay in it because some aspects of it are fun. 4th, I have started a new book which has had a very promising start. The other story I was writing has been shelved until this one is done because it needs some serious reworking. That's about all I have to say at the moment. Oh and also, I am going to start up a new blog soon about my writing experiences. It will have info about my book(s) released as I feel and I may even start up Our Declining World again.

Hooray for President Obama!

Coldplay update!

2008-12-02T11:07:00.001-08:00

My video has been officially entered in the contest! They are going to announce the winner Friday.

Go to http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=coldplaytv2&view=favorites and click on page 4. My video is on there XD!

Coldplay! (and a Musical)

2008-11-30T23:00:00.000-08:00

Hello there! I haven't posted in a while but now I am. My favorite band in the whole world is Coldplay. They have very good music that is very beautiful. So I was looking on Youtube for some of their music when I found out on their channel that they were holding a contest for a chance to get a free trip to London to see them at their concert with backstage passes all for free (this is an official contest being held by Coldplay themselves). I have entered a video which if you want to see, it's not very good though, it is at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nawLQxlDL9U
copy and paste to see it.

It isn't good, don't comment on this post please comment on the video itself (do NOT include my name in your comment if you post it on Youtube). If you don't have a Youtube account, you can comment on this post, but only then.

Oh, also, they have announced the musical that they are doing this year. They are doing Peter Pan.

More to come,
Bye!

Scary!

2008-11-06T17:02:00.000-08:00

Eeeeeeekkkk! I know it's a week or two after Halloween but there was this one scary movie that is the dang scariest movies of all time that I have seen so far. It is Ju-On 3: The Grudge. The Japanese make better horror movies then anyone, with the exception of the only person who ever came close to beating them, Alfred Hitchcock. Ju-On 3: The Grudge is about... well you see... I'm not really sure how to explain the movie without spoiling it or being very confusing. The basic summary is that it is about a cursed house where everyone who sets foot in it dies. The American movie, The Grudge, is based on this movie and is a whole lot worse then this movie. The movie isn't that good to being with anyway. But anyway, good J-Horror film, makes you jump but it's really just so so so so so so creepy.

Halloween TV and Snow

2008-11-06T16:39:00.000-08:00

Halloween was awesome! I got a fair amount of candy and since I couldn't get pictures of my costume, I'll tell you I was the Scarecrow from Batman Begins. I scared some little kids by accident just by looking at them. Cool and yet not cool. I will try to get pictures up as soon as I can take them. Heroes is taking a turn for the worst and is just adding mystery after mystery onto this ginormous pile of mysteries. Arggggggggg! I am afraid that it will turn into a worse version of Lost. Lost is great in the way that it is actually answering questions. Heroes isn't doing any answering at all. Heroes has established what kind of show it is. It is a show where there are few questions, just normal people finding out they have superpowers and what they do with those powers. The first season was great, the second season would have been really great if the writers strike hadn't happened. The third season veered completely off course of where this show was heading. Too much action and not enough character development. Hopefully, volume 4, Fugitives, will be better. Also, there are too many "WHAT?!?!?!?" moments for me.

It snowed yesterday! I went sledding and it was fun. Yay!

Celebrations :) and Sorrows :( (sort of)

2008-11-06T16:25:00.000-08:00

Hello there people! I have good news and bad news. The good news is that Obama won the election! (kind of. He won the predicted election.) The sort of bad news is that I need to shut down the Declining World blog. The reason for that is that A: I promised myself that if Prop. 8 went through, I would shut down that blog or combine it with my personal blog and B: It's too hard to keep up with life, homework and 2 blogs. So yah. After this post, that blog will be moved to this blog. Happy (late) Halloween!

My Life Isn't Too Terribly Exiting

2008-10-20T19:42:00.000-07:00

Sigh... Hi everyone. My life isn't too exiting. Sigh (again). I will give updates and hopefully pictures of Halloween. Hooray! If anything else happens, I will tell about it.

The Best TV Show Fall Lineup I Could Have Imagined!

2008-09-18T18:03:00.001-07:00

There are some good TV shows this fall. I'm so happy! First, there is a new show. It's been getting some bad reviews but I try not to listen to critics anymore (they're usually wrong). The show I am talking about is Fringe! It is basically the new generation of X-Files mixed with some Twilight Zone and a dash of The Night Gallery (another fantastic short-lived TV show with Rod Sterling narrating). I like it, screw the critics! The next show I like is Heroes! The new season is coming out next Monday with a 3 hour long season premiere. Wow! That's 6-9 PM mountain time. But I am very excited non the less. The last show I am excited about is the 5th season of one of my favorite shows... The Office! I have season 4 and I have not watched it yet and I want to watch it before the new season. That has my Mondays (Heroes), Tuesdays (Fringe) and my Thursdays (The Office) booked. Yay!

Birthday

2008-09-18T18:03:00.000-07:00

Thank you all so much who wished me a happy birthday last week! I had a good time at my two birthday parties. I got some good presents too. They were all so good. Thank you again!

J.K. Rowling strikes again!

2008-08-26T20:44:00.000-07:00

J.K. Rowling just can't stay away from Harry Potter. She has written an 800 word prequel to the Harry Potter series. It was pretty good for a very small story. Expect the story in a different post very soon. Also in December, J.K. Rowling will publish the famous "The Tales of Beetle the Bard", a story book which plays a pretty important role in HP 7. It will be released to the public December 4, 2008.

Dharma wants you... to cheat?

2008-08-26T20:40:00.000-07:00

A couple of days ago, I went over to Lostpedia for any updates on Dharma Wants You. I was looking at their blog when a noticed a certain post. I looked at it to find out that Dharma had set up a way to cheat on their test. Why would they want people to cheat? Unless the real test is whether you would cheat or not. I don't know, but it sure is strange.

Dharma Wants People Not to Crash Their Website

2008-08-20T08:03:00.000-07:00

Hello again! Today I looked upon the new Dharma website to discover that they have a new test up. I was really excited. I didn't know what kind of test they would be doing. When I got to the actual test, I discovered that it was a thinking test. You use pieces to make a square. You have 100 seconds to do this and the faster you do it, the higher the score. My highest score so far is 67. Yay! A new test should be up next week and you can still register. I don't know if the registering has changed at all but you still can register.

Update 8/21: My highest score is now 78. Hooray!

Yay! Hello there! Recently, I went to Octagon Global Recruiting. I signed up for it because Octagon Global Recruiting is a branch of the new Dharma Initiative. I waited, not knowing what was going to happen. About a week later, I got an email saying this:

Jeez, this would really suck

2008-07-27T22:04:00.000-07:00

I am still here in Westport, writing this as I watch X-Files. Speaking of which my Grandpa, out of the kindness of his heart, has bought me one of the famous "I Want To Believe" posters that is in Mulder's office of the UFO. Anyway, the movie "The Diving Bell, and the Butterfly" is, by far, one of the best movies, not for action or for sci-fi or that kind of stuff, but for the story that was told and the way it was told. It was very touching and had a little bit of a sad ending. It is one amazing story though and it's based on a true story. A french man is driving along with his son one day when suddenly he pulls up to the side of the road and has a stroke. When he wakes up, either 3 weeks or 3 months later I never did figure it out, he is completely paralyzed except one of his eye and eyelid. He eventually writes a book just from blinking. How inspirational is that? It was a great movie, ranks up with y top ten most favorite movies in the history of the world. I believe that it won 2 Golden Globes, one for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director-Motion Picture. Anyway, one of the best films period.

The Dark Knight and The X-Files

2008-07-26T17:04:00.000-07:00

Hello there people. I am currently in California in Westport. I just saw The X-Files movie in theatres. The X-Files movie was okay, but it didn't have that X-Files feeling that you get in the TV series. I still liked it, especially because it went more into Mulder and Scully's relationship. There are some episodes that the writers and creators suggested that you wath before you see the movie. They are "Pilot", "Beyond the Sea", "The Host", "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose", "Memento Mori", "Post-Modern Prometheus", "Bad Blood", and "Milagro".

Jara's Review:
2 1/2 out of 4 stars
edit:
3 out of 4 stars
Now that I can sit down and think about it for a while, I think it was better then I was giving it credit for. It had good acting, great special effects and a good storyline.

The Dark Knight was the best out of the two movies so far. Christian Bale was good, they were all good, but Heath Ledger was phenominal. He really went out with a bang. The Dark Knight was awesome, if you can see it, go see it.

4 out of 4 stars

Wall-E

2008-07-16T14:35:00.000-07:00

I saw Wall-E a while ago and forgot to write about it. It was one of the best Pixar films. The only movie better then this one is Finding Nemo. Wall-E is a small, cute, trash compacter that has been left on Earth after humans abandoned it because of all the garbage. The humans have run away to a giant spaceship called Axiom where everyone are so fat that they can't even walk. Axiom sends down a robot named EVE, which Wall-E immediately falls in love with. It's a love/comedy/adventure movie. It has some environmental issues in it. Overall, it was a very good movie.

E3 2008

2008-07-16T10:39:00.000-07:00

If you didn't know, July 14-18 showed some new games at E3. E3 is an event where all of the big gaming companies come together to show off their next new games and creations. The Wii is going to get some cool new games and some new add-ons. Some highlights of E3 are:

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, you can have Superman, Batman, Catwoman, etc. kicking Mortal Kombat's butt for Xbox 360 and the PS3

Animal Crossing: City Folk, the first Animal Crossing game to come to the Wii

Wii Speak, it's like the DS microphone but for the Wii

Wii MotionPlus, it will be an add-on to the Wii remote to let the Wii be even more accurate in motion detecting

Wii Music, it'll be a game like Rock Band or Guitar Hero but with just the Wii remote, Nunchuk, and the Wii Balance Board as an optional feature

A snowboarding game that will use the Wii Balance Board

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels, which will use the Wii remote like a lightsaber. Hooray!

Wii Sports Resorts, it'll be like Wii Sports but with even more sports to play. Hooray!

Guitar Hero: World Tour, it'll be like Rock Band but it'll be Guitar Hero instead

Sonic Unleashed, the next Sonic game looks awesome. Hooray!

The Conduit, a game with Metroid Prime 3 game play and an X-Files storyline

I Am Alive, a game about the aftermath of a natural disaster so big that it covers the whole world as far as I know

Infamous, almost the same as I Am Alive except it's a nuclear bomb aftermath with a protagonist that gains super powers

Spore, it's Sim City but you raise a whole race of creatures from microbes to galaxy conquerors

Hooray for new video games!

Read-a-Thon

2008-07-16T10:31:00.000-07:00

The read-a-thon was an almost complete failure in the way I wanted it to be. I didn't read as much as I had hoped, I stopped reading more often then I was supposed to, I didn't read 3 classics, I read Harry Potter #7 which was a re-read that was over 350 pages, I din't pick the 4 random books and I didn't give updates on my blog. The worst part about it was that I had to cut it a day short. It was a failed attempt and I probably going to try to do this again sometime from anywhere from the near future to maybe next year. But I will try it again eventually.

Edit:
I read Harry Potter #7, Superior Saturday, Marley and Me, City of Ember, Make Your Own Damn Movie, part of American Gods, and Once Upon in the North.

Scatman and Read-a-thon

2008-07-09T15:15:00.000-07:00

Man, I'm posting a lot of videos now. Here are two videos from a guy named John Scatman. They're very interesting, especially Scatman's World. It has some fairly big world issues in it I think.

I also realize that I haven't been posting about my read-a-thon. Sometime next week expect a post all about it. =)

Lost strangeness (to fill the void)

2008-06-23T21:08:00.000-07:00

=O That... was strange. It was still something I wanted you guys to see. Here is another thing.

The supposed final episode with another cliff hanger. What a shock. The interesting thing about that one was that the real actors were used as far as I could tell. Except Jack =) Here is one last one.

I'm obsessed with Lost. =)

TV is essential for human sanity

2008-06-23T20:32:00.000-07:00

I am currently watching (or want to watch) a lot of DVD television. They include:

X-Files including the older movie and the newer one when it comes out
the 4400
all of the Mythbuster episodes I can get my hands on
Kyle XY
The Middle Man
LOST seasons 1-3 (to fill the void)
The Office
Eureka
Monk
Jericho Season 2

I have a big task ahead of me. I am only watching a few right now but I still have all of these ahead of me. Wish me luck!

The Read-a-thon!

2008-06-23T19:51:00.000-07:00

Hello there! In the summer there is no school and that means no homework. That means I have more extra time on my hands and I sometimes have nothing to do. I have developed a solution to get rid of boring days. From July 7-11, I have scheduled a Read-a-Thon! I will read nearly non-stop from 10 AM to 10 PM every day. On Mondays and Wednesdays I go to the Library while my mom teaches. I will need to stop reading until I reach my destination and sit down. I will then continue to read until mom comes and gets me. I will then need to stop reading until I get into the car. I will be doing this from July 7-11. If anyone has conflicts with this, if you have plans with me or something, please contact me ASAP. I can change the dates if I have to. On those days I will write an update every 6 hours. An update at 10 AM after the first day, 4 PM, and 10 PM. If anyone would like to join me in reading books in these days, please do. You don't have to read as much as I will but you can if you have no plans or if you want to. I also have some rules for myself.

I can only re-read 3 books and they can not be longer then 350 pages.
I must pick 4 random books off of the shelf at the Library in a section I would not normally look in.
I must pick 3 classics.

If you have suggestions for books for me to read, tell me about them in the comment section and I will try to find them.

My Coke Rewards

2008-06-18T18:03:00.001-07:00

Hello people! I am currently collecting My Coke Reward codes. The codes are on the caps of Coke products like Sprite, Coke, etc. A very obvious way to tell if it has a My Coke Reward is it will usually have a symbol. The symbol is right here. It will also usually say on the cap and/or on the bottle if it has a My Coke Reward.

Please send them by mail or when you see me give them to me. I am collecting them so... please give them to me.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe

2008-06-18T15:30:00.000-07:00

=0 =0 =0 =0

New X-Files movie and it looks totally awesome! Here is the poster and the trailer. It comes out on July 25. Woohoo!

Yay!

100 Years

2008-06-10T20:27:00.000-07:00

I love this song! Go Five for Fighting! (I tried loading the music video but it wouldn't work so the link to the video is right here www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmoE8_U-JTw) Enjoy!

Here is a different video and as a bonus feature, the lyrics to go with it. It is only the song.

As another bonus, I'll throw in their next best song called Superman (It's Not Easy). Enjoy!

As you notice this is not the real music video. I had the same problem. All though it is Smallville so it's the next best thing.

Lost Season 4 Finale =0

2008-06-02T21:27:00.000-07:00

What???? WHAT??!?!?!?!?!!???! How can Lost end like this?! I can't have more questions, they're supposed to be answered!!!! Season 5 and season 6 have to explain everything or lots of Lost fans are going to be very disappointed and very angry. Angry mobs will hunt down the writers. Personally I want their to be a TV 6th season finale (which is the last season of Lost) and then a little while later have a long 2 to 2 and a half hour long Lost movie with no commercials as a series finale come out in theaters or on TV. If it was on TV it would probably have to be about 3 hours long with commercials and everything. Back to the season finale, whoa. Lost is getting really complicated. SPOILER ALERT!

Locke is dead in the future (or so we think), Locke is the leader of the Others in Island time, Ben got booted off the Island (if you noticed, Ben turning the wheel and getting engulfed in light was right before his flash forward in "The Shape of Things to Come".), and Michael and Jin might be dead. NOOOOOO! Michael was one of my favorites. ;( I figured out the Michael Emerson mind hurting quote of the Orchid being a station within a station on top of a station. It's the fake Orchid on the real Orchid over that frozen wheel thing Ben used to move the Island.

Something has come to my attention as I was thinking about Lost. In every season a new group of important people are introduced. Season 1 had the Losties, Season 2 had the Tailes, Season 3 had the Others, and Season 4 had the Boaties. If my calculations are correct, there should be a new important group coming in in Season 5. I wonder who it could be? If you have ideas of who it could be, please comment because I can't think of anything.

Season 5 arrives 2009. ;( ;( ;(
So sad but I can't wait.

New Moon, Eclipse, Iron Man, Twilight the Movie, Disneyland, "Cabin Fever", "There's No Place Like Home Part 1" and one long post

Hello there! I have not posted for a while but now I'm back in a super long post!

First of all, I would like to talk about New Moon and Eclipse. They are both phenomenal books but yet they lost some of the magic from the first book. It's just not really the same. Still, very great books, Stephanie Meyer is a genius among geniuses. The next J.K. Rowling for sure.
Jara's Review:
New Moon 3.9/4 stars
Eclipse 3.9/4 stars

Second I would like to talk about Iron Man. It was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It had good action sequences and some comedy. I really like the Iron Man comics so I really liked it.
Jara's Review:
4.4/4 stars

A new movie has caught my attention. It is called Twilight. They are making a movie on the first movie and I am very excited. Hooray! Here is the official teaser for the movie.

Everyone knows I went to Disneyland just a while ago. It was a lot of fun and my siblings enjoyed it much. We also went to Disney's California Adventure. My favorite rides were California Screamin', Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, and the Finding Nemo ride. I hope I get to do this again soon.

Cabin Fever was another great original Lost episode. Has all of the elements of mystery and brain busting. Very strange ending!

There's No Place Like Home Part 1 was more mind hurting then usual. It had the Orchid, which wasn't even really the Orchid. It is supposedly, confirmed by Michael Emerson himself, that the Orchid is a station within a station on top of a station. AHHHHHH! LOST IS SO CONFUSING!

Here is a promo for the season 4 finale next week.

Multiple Monthly Holidays

2008-05-05T18:22:00.000-07:00

Hello! This is the second National "blank" Month. Here are a few I found:

National Get Caught Reading Month
I'f you haven't read for a while, start reading again!

National Photo Month
Pull out your camera and snap as many pictures as you can!

National Family Month (5/11 to 6/18)
Spend time with your family, have a reunion, throw a party with your family for no reason at all!

Yay!

The end is finally in sight!

2008-05-05T18:17:00.000-07:00

School will be over for me on June 4th. Hooray! Yay! Happy day! Summer is almost here! Now I just need to figure out what to do July to August. In June I have theatre school which will take up most of those days. Very exciting!

Something Nice Back Home

2008-05-05T18:10:00.001-07:00

This was a regular Lost episode. I liked so particularly because the flashforward fit quite nicely with the flashforward from "Eggtown" and bridged the gap between this flashforward and the one in" Through the Looking Glass". There is no Ben, Locke or Hurley but they will be focused upon in the next episode called "Cabin Fever."
Jara's Review:
4 out of 4 stars

Here is the promo for "Cabin Fever"! Thrills and chills!

I hope this is just as good as "The Constant" and "The Shape of Things to Come"!

The Shape of Things to Come

2008-04-30T19:08:00.000-07:00

The best episode yet! So awesome that I can't wait until the episodes to come. So many questions come to mind after watching this.

Jara's Review:
5 out of 4 stars

SPOILER ALERT FOR SEASON 4!!!

The next three episodes are called:
"Something Nice Back Home" Tomorrow May 1st with a Jack flashforward

"Cabin Fever" May 8th with Locke flash something

"There's No Place Like Home" Part 1/3 on May 15th and the other parts as the 2 hour season finale on May 22nd

Lost will come back for season 5 in January or February 2009. Unfortunately there may be another strike. An Actor's strike. Unlike the writers strike, which is over, there would be no actors to film with if they join the strike. Season 5 should start filming August. An Actor's strike could make Season 5 delay for a very long time or shorten it like this season. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Scary stuff!

2008-04-30T16:31:00.000-07:00

This is the scariest thing I have ever seen in my life! You can actually see a ghost in this. Watch!!!

Post your pain on the comments please!

My Book!

2008-04-16T19:15:00.000-07:00

Hello there! I am currently writing a book, which I don't know how long it's going to be. It's at least going to be a 100 page project that I will probably finish around late 2008 to early 2009. I will then try to get it published in a magazine, online magazine, in a book (this one is probably least likely), or any other ways that I can think of. If you can think of any places or ways I could get it published when I'm done, feel free to post a comment. I can wait for a really (well not really but I'll try) long time to get it published just about anywhere. I'm happy for myself.

P.S. By the way, I'm not even close to done cause I only have about 25 pages so far.

Guess what?

2008-04-14T19:50:00.000-07:00

I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!! HOORAY!!!! My Grandpa on my dad's side is helping us with the financial difficulties and giving my siblings and I each (he is a big trickster so I don't exactly know if he was telling the truth or not) $150 to spend in Disneyland and Las Vegas, Nevada where we will be staying on the first night. I'm so happy! I've already been to Disneyland 3 times, all thanks to G&G fisher, so going the 4th time will be just as fantastic as the other times (I'll know most of the park though).

Oh No!

2008-04-14T19:43:00.000-07:00

I am currently at my dad's house writing this and, over several days observation, have concluded that I have allergies to cats and/or cat hair! Oh no! I love cats just like I love about every other animal on the planet. I don't want to be allergic to cats! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I don't like this at all!!!!!!!!

National Poetry Month

2008-04-08T18:21:00.000-07:00

I am starting my first segment on my blog called National "Blank" Month. Every month I will write about the National Mothly holiday.
April is National Poetry Month! Hooray! I will read you one of my favorite poems.

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
-Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

Twilight

2008-04-08T17:53:00.000-07:00

This is a great book I have just finished. It is about a girl who is the new in school and meets a boy she likes and finds out he is a vampire. It was a great book. It is part of a 4 book series with the 4th coming out in August.

The Mayan

2008-03-27T12:32:00.001-07:00

Yesterday, I went to the Mayan with one of my friends to celebrate the end of the musical. I am happy that it is over but I still wish it was around. Can't wait until next year! Anyway, the Mayan is a great place to take your kids, your friends, parties, and other stuff too. It was a great place and I had lots of fun with my new friend.

Lost episodes 3-8 (in one ginormus review)

2008-03-27T11:53:00.000-07:00

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

I have not gotten up to date with all of the Lost episodes that I have been watching so I am putting it all into one ginormus review.

"The Economist"
Sayid is revealed to be one of the Oceanic 6 in the beginning sequence. Back at the Island, Sayid trades Miles for Charlotte. Sayid, Desmond, Frank, and the dead Naomi are carried off in the helicopter to the freighter. Back in the flash forward, Sayid gets hurt and goes to Ben who is also off the island and Sayid is working for Ben.
Jara's Review:
3 out of 4 stars

"Eggtown"
Kate is confirmed in the flash forward that she is one of the Oceanic 6. On the island, Kate joins Locke's camp and helps Miles escape and talk to Ben. Miles says he want $3.2 million dollars in one week or he will die. Back in the flash forward, kate gets home and wakes up Aaron, Claire's child, Claire is not around, and Aaron is one of the Oceanic 6.
Jara's Review:
3 out of 4 stars

"The Constant"
Desmond and Sayid reach the freighter and Desmond's consciousness starts time traveling between 1996 and the current Lost time. He meets someone named Minkouski who helps him find his constant so Desmond doesn't die. Desmond does not die. =)
Jara's review:
4 out of 4 stars

"The Other Woman"
Juliet is ordered by Ben to kill Charlotte and Farada as they head to a Dharama station called the Tempest. This is Juliet's flashback that bridges the gap of her other flashback in "One of Us". Faraday manages to turn off the toxic gas in the Tempest while Charlotte convinces Juliet not to kill them.
Jara's Review:
2.5 out of 4 stars

"Ji Yeon"
Sun is revealed to be one of the Oceanic 6 in her flash forward. On the island, Sun threatens to move to Locke's camp. Back in the flash forward, Sun goes into labor and gives birth to a girl who she promptly names Ji Yeon because Jin wanted that as a name for the baby. Ji Yeon, Sun, and Hurley visit Jin's grave.
Jara's Review:
4 out of 4 stars

"Meet Kevin Johnson"
Michael is revealed to have actually gotten off of the island with Walt in Michael's flashback. Back on the freighter, Sayid confronts Michael and reveals to the captain that Michael is a spy for Ben, planing on blowing up the ship. On the island, Ben tells Alex to go to the Temple with Karl and Danielle.

Drillbit Taylor

2008-03-27T11:46:00.000-07:00

Drillbit Taylor is about 3 high school freshmen who, on the very first day, are chosen by the school bullies to be their high school life-long victims. The freshmen decide to hire a bodyguard who isn't who he appears to be. His name is Drillbit Taylor. This is a very good movie in my opinion but it has somethings that children under about 10 would not want to see or hear about.

Hi! (again)

2008-03-27T11:36:00.000-07:00

Hi there. I am sorry I have not been writing lately but I have just been too lazy especially with spring break. I have been playing around on my Wii. I just got a new game that is really fun called "Super Smash Bros. Brawl". Apparently it is a series of games coming back all the way from the Nintendo 64. It is a fighting game with every major Nintendo character ever known and more. From Mario to Sonic, Pikachu to Link, Toon Link to Jigglypuff. It is even an online game too. It is one of the most wanted games for a long time and has definitely lived up to its expectations. I have no homework over Spring Break and that is really awsome too. I will write a lot more in the month of April so be expecting more posts coming very soon.

Hi!

2008-03-04T19:24:00.000-08:00

Hi there! I am not going to write about what happened since I wasn't writing because it would take me hours. I am going to say that I am creating 2 websites that will be linked together with my blog. One will be about my writing and the stories I am writing. The other one will tell about my singing life. I am currently trying to record a song on my mom's computer. I'll keep you posted.

Sorry!

2008-02-19T20:00:00.000-08:00

I have not written for a while and I probably will not until the musical is over or maybe some time in between now and the end of the musical (which will end on the Saturday of the first full week of March). My life is very hectic right now so I don't have a lot of time. After the play I will though so then I will right more regularly.

Lost "Confirmed Dead"

2008-02-10T19:00:00.000-08:00

My rating: A-

This episode is a lot better then the season premiere. It is full of lots of answers and questions to some of the mysteries. I also have a new theory for how Locke's father got to the island. If you want to know, leave a comment. It was a lot better.

Spiderwick Chronicles

2008-02-10T18:27:00.000-08:00

The Spiderwick Chronicles was a pretty good movie but getting in was a little different then I expected. When Q and I got there, we got to the ticket booth, we told the guy that we were going to the movie. He said to go to the lady on the inside that took our tickets and she told me to go to the guy in front of the theater marked "Atonement". The guy asked me my name and we wnet inside. There was a taped off area for press, reviewers, and movie studio people. We sat down and saw the movie. The special effects were really good and the acting was off at one point but it was very good.

Musical Performance dates and ticket info update

2008-02-10T18:15:00.000-08:00

I have more info about tickets. The tickets are being sold starting tomorrow to friday 3-5 PM. There are sold every week monday to friday 3-5 through the school office (I think) until the performance week where they are sold an hour before the performance. If you have questions, leave a comment, email me, or phone call me and I will try to answer your questions.

Spiderwick Chronicles

2008-02-08T05:24:00.000-08:00

The books "The Spiderwick Chronicles" have been turned into a movie. One day this week I saw a flyer with a contest on it for Salt Lake City. It was an e-mail in contest where the first and second place are 4 or 2 reserved seats at a pre-screening of the movie. So I entered thinking I wasn't going to win. I was wrong and this morning, I got an email back saying that I had won second place and 2 free reserved seats for the pre-screening at the Broadway! I was so happy, until my mom told me that she had work that day at that time. I would like it if someone could help me because I can't go alone (except G & G because they have church unless they don't on that day). Unfortunately, they choose the closest possible day to have the pre-screening. It is tomorrow, Saturday February 9 at 2 PM. I also have to get there by 1:30. So I might call some people to ask and you can say no, okay? Thanks!

Musical Performance dates and ticket info

2008-02-06T22:08:00.000-08:00

You may all be wondering what is going on with the musical and what the dates are, well... drumroll please... here they are!

Monday February 11th- Reserved Tickets go on sale!
Wednesday March 5th- Opening Night Performance 7:00 PM
Thursday March 6th- Evening Performance 7:00 PM
Friday March 7th- Evening Performance 7:00 PM
Saturday March 8th- Closing Night Performance 6:00 PM

There is other info about buying the tickets pre-performance that I will try to figure out. On every performance day, the tickets will be sold an hour before the musical starts. I would suggest buying tickets as fast as you can because if you don't, all of the good seats will be taken. You will be left in the back row where you can barely see or hear anything.

If you have any questions, contact my cell phone and leave a message if I don't answer, talk to me in person, email me (NOT AT THE EMAIL I AM SIGNED IN FOR), or leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks!

Lost Season 4 Premiere

2008-02-06T22:00:00.000-08:00

SPOILERS MAY COME AT ANY RANDOM MOMENT!!!!!!!!

Lost Season 4 premiere didn't live up to my expectations. The whole thing was mostly talking, sadness, mourning for Charlie (which I wished had never had happened), talking, arguing, and us thinking that Naomi was dead but then running into the jungle and dying anyway. I give it a 2.5/4 stars. Not completely horrible, but not as good as season 3.

LOST Season 4 FINALLY!

2008-01-31T21:05:00.000-08:00

Lost was on at 8:00-9:00 tonight. Lost has finally come. IF YOU WANT TO POST SPOILER COMMENTS ON THIS BLOG, WAIT UNTIL I WATCH IT ON MONDAY AND WRITE A POST ABOUT IT!!!!! I can not emphasize this enough. Then you may post as many comments as you want. It will be a discussion of Lost so far and the new episode. I am very sure it will be great. Hooray for Lost!!!!!!!!

Very good lost website for all lost fantic needs (be warned of possible spoilers!):

Writers Guild of America (WGA) Strike

2008-01-31T20:09:00.000-08:00

TV show and movie CEO's who are slow, GIVE THE WRITERS WHAT THEY WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED THOSE SHOWS AND MOVIES!!!!!!!! You are just losing more and more money by not taking care of this, even if you are up in your big offices thinking you are so smart by doing all of this stuff to prevent you losing money. You are going to run out of back up plans and when you do, you are going to lose money faster than you can say "supercalafragalisticexpealidosious"!

Cloverfield

2008-01-24T20:40:00.000-08:00

WARNING! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!

Two Words: Cloverfield rocks! I just got back from seeing the coolest movie ever. Cloverfield, if you don't already know, is a monster/horror movie about a monster that eats everyone and destroys New York. By the end of the movie, everyone has died a gruesome death from exploding to being eaten while you were still alive. I give it 3.5/4 stars. If you see it, I warn you that it is very intense and it is very bloody and gruesome. Also, if anyone is sea sick, be careful when you watch it because it has made many people, including me, sea sick. I recommend that if you bring children, make sure that they are 12 or older. Besides that, it was the best movie I have ever seen.

Random Stuff (mostly school)

2008-01-23T15:20:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was the all day play practice with lunch and snacks included. It wasn't that different from a regular practice. I managed to beat "Bomerman" on my iPod during my break though, which was a big success for me. I have changed three classes today as it is the first day of the 2nd semester. I now have Health instead of Science, Home Ec. instead of Computers, and a new gym teacher and new gym. I am seeing the new movie "Cloverfield" tomorrow with Q and M. I have read it is a good movie but it made people seasick because the camera moves around a lot. The movie is supposed to be in the perspective of 5 people and a video camera.

Cirque de Freak

2008-01-11T22:57:00.000-08:00

Hi. Sorry I haven't posted for a while and I have been busy. I am reading this series of books called Cirque de Freak which is about a boy who becomes a vampire to save his friends life, only to have his friend sware to kill him one day. It is by Darren Shan. I like them and suggest them. I am on "Hunters of the Dusk".

New Friends, Old Friends

2008-01-07T20:58:00.000-08:00

Today I made new friends in Musical practice and in regular school. Starting about an hour ago, I sarted to look at old emails that I had never looked at and I was very sad that I had not responded to those emails and I was very sad because they were from early 2007 and late 2006. I cried and was very touched by them. I sent letters back to my 5th and 6th grade friends, people who I haven't seen for a year. I then found emails from my first and best friend from Woods Cross. She lived accross the street from my old house and we were friend from age 5-10. Her name was Kaylee. I miss her so much as a friend. I then wrote an email to her. I cried a lot while writing that. I miss all of my old friends so much I am crying while writing this. If anyone from Miss. Lloyd's 2007 6th grade graduating class or if Kaylee is reading this, I miss you all so much. Also, if any of the friends I just mentioned are reading this, please post a comment or send me an email.

Kingdom Hearts

2008-01-06T21:04:00.000-08:00

If you have heard of Kingdom Hearts before then you will know some of what I am talking about. If you are a Kingdom Hearts fantic like I am, then you should know every word I say. Square Einx has announced that there are three new Kingdom Hearts coming out sometime in the future. The first one, the one I am most excited about, is Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. The video clip at the very end of Kingdom Hearts 2 and Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix is actually a super teaser trailer for Birth by Sleep. HOORAY!!! It will be released on PSP. We don't know when it will be released, even in Japan. The second game is Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. It is about what happened to Roxas afetr he was born when Sora became a Heartless and what he did in Oragnazation 13. It will be released on Nintendo DS somewhere this year in Japan. The third one I don't really care much about but it is called Kingdom Hearts coded. It will be on the mobile phone so I don't care about it too much. Now I just need a PSP and another DS to replace the one I sold help me buy a Wii.

Potter Puppet Pals

2008-01-06T18:40:00.000-08:00

I just watched Potter Puppet Pals on You Tube and I watched "The Mysterious Ticking Noise". I then found a speeded up version which is very funny. I like the original more.

New Video Games

2008-01-06T15:42:00.000-08:00

I just got two new video games with my Game Crazy gift card from Santa in my stocking for $100. Yipee! I got The Simpsons Game and Ben 10: Protector of Earth. The Simpsons Game was the only game I played today because it was a farely easy game to figure out and move along in the game. There were some tricky parts but it is farely easy. There are parodies of other video games in it. There is "Grand Theft Scratchy", a parody of "Grand Theft Auto". There is also a level which you battle with 'Sparklemon', a parody of "Pokemon". The last one I can remember of the top of my head is a level called "Medal of Homer", parody of "Medal of Honor". The other video game I got was Ben 10. I haven't tried it yet but I have heard that it was pretty good. I like the Ben 10 tv series so that was a factor also.

Grandpa's Birthday

Saturday

2008-01-05T09:28:00.000-08:00

Saturdays are usually just laying around and playing Wii. Today I am writing this while watching the most reccent Disney version of "Around the World in 80 Days" on Disney Channel. It is a very good movie in my opinion. Tonight the Stoddard family and I are going to a dinner party in Park City. I hope that it will be fun. I will write in my blog about it tomorrow because it starts at 7:00 PM and ends after 10 so, I won't be able to write tonight. :)

My Very Sad News

2008-01-03T20:50:00.000-08:00

I am probably not going to write about today from anywhere from tomorrow to Monday so yah. I have some very bad news for the Stoddard family and me. I got a call from my dad about 20 minutes ago that one of our cats, Dupree, had a heart problem which clogged up his arteries which paralized him. My dad put him to sleep tonight. I am very sad so, I will probably not write in my blog until Monday. ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;(

My First Day at School Musical Practice

2008-01-03T06:09:00.000-08:00

Hi there! I had a farely good day yesterday. I went to advisory first, which is always fun. Then there was science, which isn't all that bad except for the teacher Ms. Woods and how she treats us like we're in 5th grade. We just learned how to use a microscope which I have known how to do for a while. I even have one at home. Orchestra, after science, is usually ok but yesterday was a bad day there. We practiced one thing for 20 minutes (I kept track). It was quite annoying that one person kept messing up, and that lagged us behind. a fun thing I get to do after that is PE. We get to play games and a bunch of other fun stuff. And finally, before lunch, I went to CTE, which is either downright boring or compleatly fun. Today was downright boring. CTE is a class which teaches us about jobs and what to expect after we finish high school. Then there was lunch. I had a lunch with my friends and I had a non-filling lunch. My stomach was grumbling all day after that until dinner. I had Algebra after that and we have a 50 point assignment that is due tomorrow. Most assignments are 10 points. Finally, I had ELP. That class is always usually fun unless it is not a fun day, we get 3 assignments due the next day, or there is a substitute. It was a pretty fun day. I then have my first Musical practice. All we did was have the directors of the play tell us what to and sing. The singing part wasn't all that bad, until I had sung the same 2 lines of lyrics for 20 minutes, then it started to get kind of boring. After that I walked home just in time to say good bye to Mom before se went on a three hour date. This was one of my less stressful days. Hooray! :) I did break down a little bit because of all of the stress. Now that I look back on that day, it wasn't as stressful as I thought it was yesterday.

First Post, First Blog

2008-01-02T21:41:00.000-08:00

Hi there! This is my first post on my first blog ever! I am very excited and I hope this works out ok. I will try to post 3 times a week or more depending on my scheduale. I think I have good and bad times in my life , but I think mostly bad. I am trying to hold together and to do that I made this blog. I will type of my adventures I had today tomorrow and tomorrows adventures tomorrow, because I have to go to bed. Good Night! :)
