movie review 2: batman the dark night

2008-07-20T13:53:00.000-07:00

Batman is a very good movie... and when i say very... i mean very. Surprisingly there are 2 villains. I'm not going 2 tell you the other villain besides the joker but i will tell you that it is disgusting.

favorite joker quotes:

"how 'bout a magic trick? i can make this pencil disappear"
bam!

"here's my card"

favorite scene:

picture the joker in a tight nurse's uniform walking away from a hospital that is blowing up.

this is my rating 1 to 5 with 5 being the best: 4.8

vacation

2008-07-15T14:16:00.000-07:00

i am on vacation. i went to michigan first,for my cousin's wedding. i danced like crazy and obviously i am such a great dancer. and then from there,we went to chicago, which is now my favorite city that i've ever been too. when we went there we saw something called, "blue man group". it's these three guys with blue (painted) skin. this was probably my favorite part of my vacation, because it was really funny and really random. they have these little holes in their stomache and they ate some twinkie that apparently upset their stomaches and it sprayed out of the holes into the audience. yuck. a big glob landed on my foot! at the end of the performance they ran to the back of the audience and there were hundreds of streamers they pulled down over the crowd. we were in the front row which meant all the streamers that were being pulled down from the back of the crowd to the front all ended up on top of up. i was completely buried! i just got back to michigan in a cabin with my cousin and grandparents. it's a block from lake michigan. time to walk to the ice cream parlor, so gotta go!

farting hero

2008-07-10T13:47:00.000-07:00

this is a really fun game. it is called "puzzle farter". it's a little guy, with a turtle neck sweater, big square glasses, and what looks like a fish for a head. you run around and fly (by farting), to get from one door to another. it's mostly just trying to get to the other end through an obstacle course. and lots of times, there are living obstacles, such as fishes with stilts, giant fat chickens, and cats who throw paper airplanes at you! this is a super-addicting game. and so far i've made it to level 20 -- way farther than my dad or sister (my mom doesn't play video games).

can you get higher than 20 levels?

here's the link!

kangaroo kyle can catch. what can't kangaroo kyle catch?

i'm going on a vacation to michigan this week for my cousin's wedding. i think i should be in the wedding, but no-o-o-o. anyways. were staying in a cabin with my grandma and grandpa for a while, and my family is going to spend a couple days in chicago. we're going to go to a bunch of museums and stuff. and i'm really looking forward to the trip.

i've been reading through the harry potter books, finally! like, everyone else has already read all of them! and i've read a lot of books, but not harry potter. so far, i've finished the first book, and i'm halfway through the second one. and i just started reading them about a month ago. i'm hoping to get through another one on our trip.

that's all for now!

I

2008-07-01T09:06:00.000-07:00

Oops!!! I know my alphabet. Really I do. But i forgot "I". So here it is.

I ate ink!

And I think this one's actually pretty hard, so say that ten times fast!

J

2008-07-01T08:37:00.000-07:00

here is my tongue twister for J. in honor of my mom, since the first letter of her name is j, i will do something involving her!

Jeannie jumped on jello over jam and jelly jars.

This is more entertaining than hard, but whatever.

H

2008-06-28T10:30:00.001-07:00

and, now, continuing my tongue twister tour through the alphabet world, it's time for the letter H!

he hears his hyena howl her hiney off.

try it! say it fast. lots of times.

movie review: WALL-E

2008-06-28T10:05:00.000-07:00

WALL-E is a very good movie. it's about the future, when the earth gets filled with too much trash. and, then, humans take a space ship out to space for 5 years while little robots all named WALL-E clean up the trash while they're gone. this particular robot is the only one left; and the humans ended up staying in that spaceship for 700 years. this is a problem, because they end up spending their lives in hover-chairs, with robots doing all the work for them, and all the entertainment they need. so they're all super-fat, haven't touched a foot to the ground in years, and do nothing but stare at screens of entertainment in front of their faces.

WALL-E is very lonely, and a spaceship comes down, with a beautiful robot named eve. i'm not going to tell you why she's there, because that might ruin the story. WALL-E falls in love with her, but she's unsure about him. later in the movie, he proves he is very heroic, and eve can't resist his rusty metal charm.

there are a couple other fun little characters in the movie. there's a cockroach, who's WALL-E's only friend on earth. he's like WALL-E's pet, and always follows him around. then, on the spaceship, there's this funny little robot named mo. he's very small, and his job is to clean things. he has a little roller attached to both of his hands, and uses it to clean up dirt. he starts out being kinda annoyed by WALL-E and his mess, but ends up being a loyal little dude.

i thought this movie was a very good animated movie. i'll use a 1-5 rating system, 5 being the best. and i give WALL-E a 4 1/2.

Liesl (Leesl)

2008-06-20T16:46:00.000-07:00

i realized i had never said anything good about my sister. i talked about her but all i said is that she is snotty and i hoped that wouldn't get in the way of our spring vacation. she really is nice, although, yeah, she can be snotty. we get along really well compared to some other brothers and sisters. here's a few things i like about her:

she's willing to play with me (not always)
she gets happy real easily
she can have a good sense of humor
she is very smart (but sometimes she asks me how to spell things)
we keep each others secrets and i can trust her with that
i like that she has musical interests like i do.

she got my dad's old electric guitar as a middle school graduation present. when i get my new drum set i think it'll be fun to play with her.

i'm glad that liesl is my sister.

just cause i didn't want to make two posts, i'm going to combine my tongue twister for G with how cool my sister is!

Girl's got game!

(girl = liesl my sister)

try it!

Book Review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid

2008-06-18T22:22:00.000-07:00

diary of a wimpy kid, a novel in cartoons, #1 new york times best seller by jeff kinney

i just read the front cover of this book and my mom typed it in. this is a very good book. the book is exactly what it says. it's supposed to be a diary of... a wimpy kid! it's all written in sloppy printing with many doodles all over it. it's a funny book about a kid who has to go through middle school. he's this scrawny little boy named greg who can get wrestled down by a boy named fregley who's way nerdier than him, way smaller and a little bit crazy. greg and other wimpy kids get mixed up in school with these huge, mean bullies who are already shaving.

this is the beginning: "September, Tuesday. first of all let me get something straight. this is a journal. not a diary. i know what it says on the cover, but when my mom went out to buy this thing i specifically told her to get one that didn't say diary on it. great. all i need is for some jerk to catch me carrying this book around and get the wrong idea (imagine a doodled picture of greg writing in his diary while a bully punches him to the ground and calls him sissy)."

i recommend this book. there's comedy, romance, drama and action. ok, so maybe it doesn't have romance, drama or action, but it is funny. and i guess he does have to run away from a bully now and then and i guess that would be counted as action.

i'll use a 5-point rating system for book reviews, 5 being the best. and i'll give diary of a wimpy kid a 5 and 1/9th!

All Father Odin

2008-06-01T11:29:00.000-07:00

My class did a play and since we've been studying Norse mythology, we did one about the Aesir gods. The Aesir gods are like Odin, Thor, Loki, and all that stuff. I don't know if you've heard of Odin or Loki, but surely you've heard of Thor. The Aesir is the city of the gods which is much more than just Odin, Thor and Loki. I got the parts of Odin and Petmyr because we did the play twice. Odin is the "all father god" (the main god). Although he is not the main person in the play. Here are my lines for Odin. Imagine me like in the picture, holding a fake spear, speaking in a low, powerful, loud voice:

The daylight ends and darkness deepens
The sun descends, his horses leaping
Lightly over Asgards peaks
Night stars sparkle cloak
With sleep covers all
Let each return royally to his high hall
To wearily wonder
To dream or to ponder.

Frigg, my wife, both dread and dear
Wend you well to Finsalir
Hemdall, sleepless sentry, watch
O'er Asgard from Valasgalf
Freya, goddess of love and sorrow
to Sessumir go until the morrow
Thor, my strong and stalwart son
Bid abed till dark be done.

And though we live in laughing light
The Norns know of a deadly night
Will one day deepen Asgard's heights
A twilight thrice forsaken
From which we'll not awaken...
But Aesir--
We still live in lights bright weaving
Sun gold gifts with grace receiving
Let not the night lead you astray
While with Aesir might you make your way.

Petmyr is an interesting character. Thor has to take three trials to win the woman of his dreams, Gana Hafta. Gana Hafta is a two headed giant, but Thor doesn't know. Loki tricked him by saying she was "twice" as lovely as any fair maiden. One of the trials he had was to pick up Utgard-Loki's (Gana Hafta's father) cat, named Petmyr! So i had to sit in the middle of the floor dressed in a really stupid cat costume while my friend, Nicolas, wearing a red and orange beard as Thor, and has to pretend that he can't pick me up. Here are my lines:

meow

i don't know which one was more fun to play but i sure wish i had a cat picture i could show you!

pretty toes

2008-05-11T13:56:00.000-07:00

we got my mom a pedicure for mother's day, and thought it would be fun for all of us to get one with her. so, i got a pedicure for the first time, and for fun, decided to get my toe-nails painted. can you guess which toes are mine?

D

2008-05-08T16:19:00.000-07:00

Dracula drank Drano.

That was my tongue twister for "D"! This one isn't my best, but my Mom can't say it very well. Here's another tongue twister that I found on the TGIFriday kid's menu a long time ago. This was one of my inspirations for making up tongue twisters when I have nothing else to do:

any noisy noise annoys an oyster

When me and my sister were first learning it, we kept on saying, "any noisy noisy noisy noisy noisy noyster." It takes some time to learn, but I think it's a pretty good one.

fluffy puff marshmallows

2008-05-04T16:48:00.000-07:00

my sister's friend's little brother, paul, randomly in the car, said, "fluffy puff marshmallows." later, my sister was on youtube, and she asked me what to type in on the search line. i said, "fluffy puff marshmallows," and this is what came up...

I Haven't Blogged in a "While"

2008-04-23T19:51:00.000-07:00

i haven't blogged in a while and i'm sort of sorry about that but i'm gonna blog now, so there. ok. i never finished my tongue twister thing, so i'm going to go with "C".

cranky cooper's crap cried

say that 10 times fast! i know it's a little weird but i just had to make something up off the top of my head. my mom can't do it so try to do it more than twice and you'll beat her record. send in your own tongue twisters starting with a "C". make it up by yourself!

9 crazy max facts

2007-09-27T19:44:00.000-07:00

i was tagged by mindi a while ago. so i'm going to blog about nine crazy max facts:

fact #1: my favorite animal is the kiwi. and i know what you're thinking. but my favorite animal isn't a fruit, but a wingless, flightless bird from new zealand that is also called a kiwi.

fact #2: i have a collection of percussion instruments from all around the world. (my dad got them -- go, dad!)

fact #3: my nickname, that i made up on an RV trip, is "stinko the clown". for instance, my dad's (which i also made up on the RV trip) is flabbio.

fact #4: i've eaten a termite body. not the head, just the body. don't question it.

fact #5: i've also tasted guinnea pig and rattle snake (but not in the same meal).

fact #6: in addition to lots of states, i've been to mexico, guatemala, peru, and new zealand.

fact #7: i've just gotten into "Calvin and Hobbes" comic books. and, as you know, if you've ever read one comic, you can't stop.

fact #8: i'm learning to ride a unicycle for school. and, yes, it's a private school.

fact #9: i play drums, cello, recorder, and the nosenfluggle (one of those isn't true).

tongue-twisters for the letter b

2007-03-03T12:05:00.000-08:00

like i said earlier, i like to make up tongue-twisters. earlier, i posted some for the letter a (and some of you added some fun ones too). jacob added two of my favorite ones (peggy bupkiss, and notebook), but he didn't really follow the rules. jacob, that was supposed to be tongue-twisters for a. as in, words starting with a. but anyways, those were really good.

here are some tongue-twisters for b. i'm making them up right now:

boney bonnie boxed her brother's bear

bob and beverly brought beatrice a beautiful bouquet of begonias (say THAT 10 times fast!)

now, as you know, you are invited to add your own tongue-twisters. but not for "a" -- for "b". as in, words that start will the letter b, jacob!

ADDITION

hey, we were just cleaning up the dishes from eating dinner, when my dad put the leftover bread in the bread bag (it's a bag we have for keeping bread). we might it might be a hard "b" tongue twister, so we tried it. and, "bread bag" is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY (etc) hard to say a bunch of times fast. try it!

family

2007-03-03T11:52:00.000-08:00

i just realized i never talked about my family. i DO have one -- i'm not an orphan (i've got orphans on my mind, though, because i'm reading all the lemony snicket book -- that you may not have heard of, but you've probably heard of the movie).

i have three family members. my dad, marko (and you probably know him), my mom, jeannie, and my annoying sister, liesl.

my dad is probably the coolest dad in the whole entire world. and he didn't make me write that. i'm going to go to st. louis with my dad in a few days. my dad will be speaking to a couple thousands junior high kids, while i am backstage fooling around with all the candy that they put out there for the crew.

my mom, on the other hand, is the one who reads me the lemony snicket books. we're on book #6, the ersatz elevator. a couple days ago, my sister and dad were gone, and i camped out on the couch -- overnight -- with my mom. it was fun. it's a big couch, a sectional one.

my sister, liesl, is 13. and if you have an older sister, than you probably realize how frustrating it is to have a 13 year old sister. we used to get along really well. but now, since she's a teenager, we still get along, but we get mad at each other easily, and don't hang out as much.

that's my family. i love them. we're going to new zealand in a few weeks, and i'm sure it's gonna be really fun - if my sister's not too snotty!

my wee me

2007-01-30T20:00:00.000-08:00

my dad saw on his friend's blog that there was a cool website called weeworld.com. you make little cartoons, and you can make them look just like yourself. and there's another website he showed me about underwear -- but that's a whole other story.

so, my dad and i went to weeworld.com, and i made a wee me max! here i am!

angel helping grandmother

2007-01-25T19:12:00.000-08:00

this last halloween, guess what i was? i bet you know. because there's a picture on this post! and i was a... wait:

either...

a. a monster truck

b. an angel, or

c. a grandma

now, if you think b, raise your hand (huh, huh, huh). sorry, just couldn't help myself.

anyways, if you think it's b, that's weird. if you think it's c, that's ok. and if you think it's a, you've got problems. yes, it's c.

this picture does not really show it, but (heh-heh-heh, i'm about to talk about a butt, and i said but, and i didn't mean that kind of butt) -- anyways -- my butt was a humunguation (big) butt. we stuffed it with stuffing. and i mean, seriously, dude (or, dudette), it was like sticking out a foot farther than my real butt.

so here's the picture of me and my sister. she's the angel.

Da Book

2007-01-24T19:46:00.000-08:00

I am going to make up these little tongue twisters and put them in a book. They're probably really easy to do but some of them might not be. And I'm going to post them occasionally. Guess what? I'm going to write them A - Z and I'm also going to write the little and in between Y and Z like the song!

Guess what? Chicken butt! Sorry about that. Couldn't help myself :o)

Guess what? You are invited to make up your own tongue twisters and put them on my blog for the world to see! Cool huh? Please only send in tongue twisters you've made up yourself!!!

Here's my tongue twister for A:

Annie accidentally ate another of Alex's absolutely amazing apples.

Say that 10 times fast!
I'll bet you can't do it. I really bet you can't do it. Ah, what am I saying? That's super easy. But that's ok cause that's just the beginning!

Now you can send in any A tongue twister that you make up! Get to work! Guess who? Chicken poo! ha ha ha :o)

Friends

2007-01-06T12:29:00.000-08:00

I have 3 really AWESOME friends, Miles, Nick, and Quinn. We like making up silly songs and annoying the girls. Here is one of my songs.

It's called "WORMS" and should be sung with a slow, sad, southern, slurry accent.

Nobody likes me
everybody hates me
I think I'll go eat worms.

Nobody likes me
everybody hates me
I think I'll play with worms.

When I open my lunch box
and look in a thermos
I see a pile of worms.

Everybody laughses
everybody teases
I think I'll go eat worms.

Oooooohhhhh, nobody likes me
everybody hates me
I think I'll go eat slugs.

Nobody likes me
everybody hates me
I think I'll play with slugs.

When I open my lunch box
and look in a bag
I see a pile of slugs.

When I look at the bag
and read what it says
it's says, "desserts desserts".

Ooooohhhhh, nobody likes me
everybody hates me
I think I'll go eat beetles.

Nobody likes me
everybody hates me
I think I'll play with beetles.

When I go to IHOP
and order Beetle Pancakes
the waiter screams and runs.

Screams and runs
like a little baby girl
in the nighttime with her closet open.

Nobody likes me
everybody hates me
I think I'll go eat worms.

Nobody likes me
everybody hates me
I think I'll play with worms!

It's beautiful, isn't it? Am I right? Am I right? I'm right, aren't I?
