Les The Miz

  So MAD (that TV show on Cartoon Network) did a hilarious parody of Les Mis. So here it is. It's a wrestling version! And don't worry if you don't know anything about wrestling, because I don't either.

Kane Street Synagogue Bike-A-Thon

  My long time synagogue, Kane Street, is having a bike-a-thon this upcoming Sunday to support World Bicycle Relief. Please go to the blog I made for the bike-a-thon, www.kanestreetsynagoguebike-a-thon.weebly.com for more info. I know some of you won't be able to make it to Kane Street for the bike-a-thon yourselves, but you can still donate! So go to the blog for more info. Please I'm begging you. Thanks!

Exhaustedness

  Well, I've been busy. Had the school play (cool,) ELA state testing (blah,) great-aunt's Motown b-day party (yay Aunt Beth!) and more. Wowowowow that's a lot.
  I've been trying my best to still get some zzzzzzs in the middle of all this chaos. Last night I got to watch the newest Doctor Who - it was a haunted house hooray - and go to bed relatively early, but then I had to wake up early this morning to put some final touches on my lab report.
  I'm making progress with The Last Descendant Trilogy, because we're doing IWRs (independent writing projects) in ELA, and I want to make my project part of the first book. I've updated the page for the books a bit, so check it out.
  So that's LIIIIFE.
  Hooray hoorah blah.
  That's all for now.

The Weekend

  So: the weekend.
  Gabby is working on a website! It's pretty awesome. I'll include a link to it SOON (if she lets me). :)
  Anywho, I've just finished watching the latest episode of Doctor Who! I used to watch it off-and-on, but I've really gotten into this season because the new plots are awesome. I was also getting slightly bored of Amy, but The Doctor's new companion Clara is pretty cool, and she and he have some pretty hilarious dialogues. So that's kinda fun. If you don't watch it you should.
  So that's that. In between sending out Bat Mitzvah invites, going to a Bar Mitzvah, watching Doctor Who, working on The Last Descendant Trilogy (by the way I'm updating the page) a lot, doing homework, and other such paraphernalia, this is a busy weekend!

More Les Mis

  I watched the movie again! Couldn't resist. It was even better the second time.
  I took the "Which Les Mis Character Are You" quiz (or actually, a bunch of them) and I'm Eponine. No surprise there. The character I'm the least like is Cosette. Again, no surprise.
  Did you know that there's a debate about whether the correct abbreviation is Les Mis or Les Miz? I'm Les Mis all the way. It's much more classy. Did you know that the official website is lesmis.com? You better believe it. :)
  Anywho, I couldn't resist creating these fashion doll versions of Cosette and Eponine:

Just in case you are shamefully unfamiliar with Les Mis and its amazingness, Cosette is on the left, and Eponine is on the right. Cosette is the daughter of factory worker Fantine, and she is adopted by Jean Valjean. She falls in love with Marius, and he falls in love with her too. So it's all good for her. Then there's Eponine, who's also in love with Marius. She's the daughter of the corrupt Thenardiers. She dresses up as a boy and goes to battle with him. Team Eponine! Woot.   Anyway, a bit about the dolls: I got the costume inspirations from the 2012 movie. Cosette's dress is actually mainly my own creation, because I took a look at some of her different dresses and none of them seemed too fun to recreate. So I made my ideal Cosette costume. There's a few details that I need to point out: the headpiece and the necklace show her place in society, and she is holding a rose (maybe from Marius?) Lol.   Eponine's dress is very similar to the one in the movie, and I attempted to make it as ragged as possible (which is hard to do on the Game of Thrones Maker). I added the white belt for extra raggedness. The boots are more like the ones she wears at the barricade, but any of the other shoes seemed too fancy. Notice her somber expression. By the way, that thing in her hand is the letter Cosette wrote for Marius. I don't know why it's brown. It just happened that way.   Both dolls were made on Doll Divine.   So that's that. Enjoy! Oh, and did I mention I'm reading the book? Yup, I'm currently on page 326 out of 1463. Yeah. It's a challenge.   So that's life. Or, rather, the parts of my life that connect with Les Mis. Cya!
