Rise of the Guardians

 I saw Rise of the Guardians twice - at a theatre downtown and at my school.  I liked it a lot. But it was a little edgy and things, a little bit sad. 

First there were four Guardians: Sandman, Santa Claus, the Toothfairy and the Easter Bunny.   DON'T READ THIS PART IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED OVER THIS MOVIE. There was some sadness about Sandman turning into black sand and he wasn't in the movie for a while. Then he came back to life and it was almost at the end so he didn't stay in the movie for long. I wish they left him in longer. 

By the way, Jack Frost agreed to be in the Guardians, for a team, though he thought the Easter Bunny was a kangaroo.  There was this weird guy Pitch, he had this nightmare horse that protected him, when he thought he was going to defeat the Guardians. He tried to get Jack Frost to join his side by saying night and coldness go together, and Jack Frost is a guy who makes these drawings with ice.  And Pitch is some guy who wants to be powerful and scare everyone to death.  And he also wants to be believed in.

I would recommend 6 or up to watch this movie because scary points are included. There was a funny part, because Sandman talks in these little sand pictures but when he was trying to say the Man in the Moon was talking to them, they wouldn't listen. He tried flags, he tried everything. Then he got an idea, he took an elf, they had bells on their head, and shook them. Ding, ding ding!

I learned that the darkness is nothing but bad things but that doesn't make me think that bad dreams is nothing but smoke coming out of my head. For the good guys there was this yellow sand over the kids' heads and those are the things they are dreaming of. And obviously they are good things.  Like for example, unicorns with a girl riding on top  of it or a giant cupcake that a kid ate in one second.

Once I had a good dream about a huge lollipop, then I licked it and then I realized it was so rocky, then it wasn't a lollipop, it was a candy cane - so I bit it. Then I just sucked on it for a whole week and then it was gone and my teeth were red and white.  Then I touched my teeth and I turned into a candy cane - Super Candy Cane! 

And by the way, the elves don't make the toys, the yetis do and the elves eat the cookies.  But when an elf is eating a cookie he spit it out because Santa Claus was supposed to eat the cookies.

I believe in Santa Claus. I believe in the Tooth Fairy, in the Easter Bunny and Jack Frost. Although I never see the ice pictures. It's a pity.

 The Cat Came Back

The Cat Came Back is a very nice play.  I saw it at Young People's Theatre.  Young People's Theatre has very nice plays for kids and adults and all kinds of ages.  I've been in a few ballet shows there, but that's a whole other story.  Today we're talking about The Cat Came Back.  Here are the characters:

Mr Johnson 
Puppeteer/Musician
Puppeteer/Musician
Fred
The Cat

I love the plays at Young People's Theatre.  'The Cat Came Back' has very interesting characters and actors.  Fred was trying to make a song called 'The Cat Came Back', but it made Mr. Johnson crazy about that cat.  Fred's musicians tried to help Fred try to make Mr Johnson love his cat and have lots of kittens. I liked that the cat always came back, it's a very special cat because the cat always came back.  I especially liked when the cat kept tricking Mr. Johnson into the cat ripping his sweater. I liked the songs - they're funny, silly and all different kinds of expressions like sad and happy. I liked the dancing.  In one of the parts Mr. Johnson got too freaked out that he turned into a statue, he needed help from one of the musicians who didn't talk but he used sign language and he made Mr. Johnson say 'ah, ah, ah, ah', then Mr. Johnson was finally free. And Mr. Johnson went so crazy, so crazy, that he ran through the audience, ran, ran ran - he got so crazy that he just wanted to move to Hawaii.  I want to move to Hawaii too.  And he wears a disguise to try to get them to stop making that cat song - his disguise was a black coat with a long nose and glasses. He tried to get them to stop it but it didn't work, it just made thing go worser and worser. Till the end.  

The play reminded me of the time a cat invaded our house. It almost scratched our radio and it chased up and down the stairs with my dad and my baby sister. But my dad kept trying to nicely lure the cat but my baby sister kept going 'Raar!'. It was funny and I accidentally made the cat go back into our house to start the whole thing again.

This is for children. To get your ears pierced hurts alot. Then it will slowly go away. You need to clean it and then you need to keep the earrings in for six weeks.  and you need to clean them and keep hair away from them and there's rules too and  you need to make sure that you read the rules so you don't get ear infections. and really keep them in, if you don't, the ears will just sew up and you have to go back to the shop and get all your ears pierced again and start all over again.  I just got my ears pierced and it feels nice that I got it.

My parents did not ask me if I wanted to get my ears pierced, I asked them if I could, they replied yes. That's how the whole story started.  It's because I thought it would look nice and I wanted to see what it looks like on me. That's the reason I got it. Go to the Eaton's Centre and on the second floor there will be an ear piercing shop that even has 100 different kinds of earrings or more or less that you could choose. And there's a food cafeteria down there where you can get food too. And there's lots more if you need. And that's all you really need to know about the earring piercing. You could get two at a time or on the weekends you could get one at a time.

I'm happy I got them and I was relieved I don't have to do them again.  It hurts a lot, it doesn't hurt like someone pinching your ears, it hurts way more than that. It hurts like someone going right through your ear. The pain lasts a short time.  It surprised me how it hurt so much. And the woman that pierced my ear was very nice.

I got flower earrings. Pink in the middle and white for the petals. I chose these because I just like them.  

Missing Mom

It's hard to be away from your mom for a long time, even if you still have the other parent and a baby. It's really hard, to think about it, when you only have been away from your mom for a short time, it feels like a year. And it just gets stronger and stronger, when it feels like today, it feels like a year and then another year and a half of the third year. It's gets more paining to think about your mom going again but if you only had your mom go away for one time, you shouldn't feel that bad about it. and you can miss your mom for a long time, the same thing with your dad or if any person in your family goes away that lives in your house. but one thing is, some pets or family members that are pets can't go away - so there's one thing, except for cats.  I'm writing this because my mom is going away tomorrow to work with migrant women and she'll be back tomorrow night.

Let me tell you about Asterix and Obelix - it is for kids any age. You may let your kid have five Asterix's a month or more. There are different Asterixes. I like the most about Asterix that they're so funny and that their village is the only resistance against the empire of Rome.  These are the examples of being troubled by Rome: the druid getting ill so the magic potion is out of hand; or the Romans using new weapons such as catapults, battering rams or sending spies out to get information; or they tried once a person that made everyone fight or they use sestertii to take their minds away as well as getting richer and richer. In Obelix and Co., usually the Asterixes start with Asterix, but Obelix and Co. starts with Obelix.

Let me introduce the characters.

Asterix is a nice man. He's the shortest person in the whole village. He is the smartest one in the whole village.

Getafix is the druid who supplies the magic potion to the villagers.

Obelix is the menhir delivery man, if you don't know what a menhir is - well it is a big rock that you can use for mail, it's better than losing a letter.

There is dogmatix who usually goes on adventures, and he is Obelix the menhir delivery man's little dog.

Vitalstatistix is the chief of the village, he makes the commands around there and he also thinks sestertii can't take over his mind and he doesn't like health farms.

I like Asterix.  Asterix is a nice comic book; it teaches you about Latin language, and the Roman history and it also teaches you about how Brutus betrayed Caesar and how everyone tried to get Caesar's spot.  It is funny, and some of it is a little sad  because the Romans get away with the magic potion.  As for the Gauls in this village they live free like birds in the air, with no pollution. Now let me go on with something else, there are  fun bits - beating up Romans who are around. The camps Compendium, Totorum, Laudanum and Aquarium - they are the Roman camps, they always get beat up and they are always waiting for the new recruits. They laze about, not bothering to get in their uniform, for they don't attack the Gauls because their magic potion gives them superhuman strength.

These are my poems. I hope you like them. There is 'Cloudy Days Poems the First' and 'Cloudy Days Poems the Second'.  You can see the writing.

CLOUDY DAYS - POEM BOOK
May 10, 2012

Knights with crowns.
Kings with crowns.
Now the bravery dragon
Helps! Says the princess.
Help! Says the maid.
Now the sneaky snake
Slithers along the ruddle.

Springy summer fills me with joy
The robin's breast shows me that its spring
The lilacs smell as soft as the blue jay's breast
If I see the blue jay's crowl
That means I can yell it's fall.

Oak leaves brown
Foxes brown too
With the sound fall is here
That's the big crow's crowl

Rainbow days I love you!
The more you shine 
I glitter too.

Halloween with the spooky 
Jack O Lantern I yell 'Boo'!
I love the glittery light and
The spooky candies


CLOUDY DAYS - THE SECOND
May 12, 2012

I think that summer's such a breeze
And I love that there's no snow!
Oh! Oh! I love Halloween too!
And I think that summer's such a breeze
And the beautiful fall.

Dragons tails glow.
As fast as the night sword,
And as comfortable as a snake's back,
In the beautiful rainbow fall.
And I love the beautiful breeze of the castle.
Fire! Says the dragon.
Fire! Says the maid.
The dragon's tail glows.

I love you.
I love you.
So much as a robin's breast.
Not as much as how I see winter.
And the fall too.

I love you as much as a summer day.
And the writing of a scribe.

Here To Hear

Here to Hear is a nice play, Young People's Theatre has nice plays.  I went to go see this with my dad. It's about a girl and her dad.  Her dad is famous with music, he went all over the world to travel. Usually she goes with him.  Those are the characters. Then there was a little light friend named Spot that was shaped like a ball. The dad and the girl had an argument whose music was the real music. The dad and the girl helped Spot go to sleep. And Spot helped them settle their argument. Spot showed them that both of their music were equal.

It's funny and it's mostly about music.  There are no scary things in the play, only a little loud noises.  I liked Spot, he went on the dresser hangars of the dad's different costumes. And he carries him up and down the stairs near where you sit. The girl is also trying to make a song for her dad for his birthday. I like Spot.  The dad sings a little louder than the girl. But the girl has more interesting music.  For example she played music from Alvin and the Chipmunks. I liked that a lot.

I learned that sounds can be music and also, like opera singing can actually be really good music. The play made me think a lot about how to make both musics equal. I thought about it and then I thought maybe I could make my own music. But its not so much music I'm talking about.  But it's poems. Poems is sort of like music, though it could be rhyming words, or words that sound good together, combined together to make a little sentence - so it's sort of like music. That's why I will have some poems put up here soon.
