Brave

  Okay, well I'm sure that many of you have heard about the new animated movie Brave. I saw it with my dad a few hours ago. I wasn't expecting it to be great, but it was actually really good! Thank you Dad for suggesting that we see it!
  The plot of Brave centers around a young Scottish princess, Merida, who is unusually talented at archery. She lives in a kingdom where bears are feared and hated due to this evil one that attacked the castle once. Merida's mother, the queen, wants to find the right husband for her daughter, and holds a contest where the three suitors have to compete in an archery-themed event. Merida doesn't want to get married, and runs away from home when she and her mother have an awful fight, which ended in the queen burning Merida's favorite bow that she got from her father, and Merida ripping a tapestry that was a portrait of the royal family.
  Merida finds a witch and pays her to "change" the queen, though Merida has no idea what will change about her mother. She goes home to find out that her mother has turned into a bear, though a gentle one. With the help of her three little brothers, Merida must change her mother back before she becomes a real bear-forever.
  Although Brave was targeted more to a younger crowd, I actually found it very touching.The mother-daughter bond that is explored is really moving, and I actually found myself crying a bit near the end. Please-anyone who hasn't seen this great movie yet-see it soon! It really is a very deeply moving movie.
  Below is a pic of the movie's feisty heroine.

Racoon

  Got back from a mini vacation with Mom and Dad earlier today. We spent a few days at this really nice hotel in Greenport. Our room had two flatscreen TVs and an outdoor deck.
  So yeah, it was pretty nice. The only part that wasn't nice was when my parents and I were going to the pool outside of the hotel yesterday, and my dad spotted a racoon perched on the fence. Now, you have to realize that this was during the day, and racoons are nocturnal, so my parents quickly realized that there was something wrong with this one.
  He was just sitting on the fence staring at us, and not moving at all, so my parents and I went inside and told the lady at the front desk of the hotel, who guessed that the racoon had rabies. She called the police and they came to help. One of the officers sprayed some water on the racoon in order to scare it off, which worked, but it just came back a few minutes later.
  This repeated for quite awhile, until eventually the racoon didn't come back anymore. It's amazing what one little swim can turn into.

The Book of Elly

  Okay, so I have this ADORABLE baby godsister named Elly. My parents and I are thinking of making a musical called The Book of Elly, you know, like a take-off on The Book of Mormon. Elly loves Dora The Explorer, so I therefore created this little dialogue between Dora and Elly herself.
Dora: Elly, what shoes are you gonna wear today? Choose quickly, 'cause I want to take you outside so we can go on an adventure, broadcast it on TV, and turn little kids' brains to mush! Sounds fun, right?
Elly: Well, it all sounds good except for the part about turning little kids' brains to mush. As far as shoes, I think I'll wear boots. It's supposed to be very cold today.
Dora: Elly, I'm very surprised with you!
Elly: Um, why? Am I missing something?
Dora: You shouldn't wear Boots without asking him first!

  Get it? Teehee. Yup, that's all for now.

Book Parodies

For almost every popular book, there is its parody. For The Hunger Games, there is the Hunger Pains:

 


For Harry Potter, there are many parodies, such as Harry Pothead and the new musical, Potted Potter:


          




For Twilight, there is the extremely off-the-walls movie Vampires Suck:




   




In each one of these parodies, the normal character names from the original books are replaced with made-up names to avoid copyright. A lot of the character names in parodies are very clever. For instance, in The Hunger Pains, Katniss Everdeen is replaced with Kantkiss Neverclean.

Now, here's another picture. To see the video, go to YouTube and search "The Hungry Games":









To close this post, I want to offer one last parody, and this is by far one of my favorite ones for The Hunger Games. It's inspired by the game, Hungry Hungry Hippos:

Snow White & The Huntsman Unscripted

  Okay, I am posting the link to this HILARIOUS unscripted interview with the cast of Snow White & The Huntsman. Beware-Charlize Theron curses a lot. Of course, they try to bleep her out, and I emphasize the try. Anyways, here's the link...

Summer Vacation + B-day

  Sorry I haven't written in a month! I've been really busy wrapping up school. This past Friday was my last day, and last Thursday was my birthday!!! Yup, I thought this time of year would never come.
  I had a pretty epic b-day party on Sunday, and for those of you that were there, I'm sure you're thinking the same thing. :) We saw Snow White & The Huntsman, which was REALLY good, and had a Make-Your-Own-Sundae party at my place afterwards. Life is good.
