Updates, You want Updates!?

Well, there's not much to say. I've gotten addicted to Owl City (much to Katie's annoyance), I'm still driven insane by Fireflies though, don't ask.

I've been taking my Driver's Ed, and so far it's going great. I have mostly been writing my book though, for those of you who don't know, the book is called: Theodore's Gate. The story of three children looking for an old man who's been missing for 30 years, and they get lost in other worlds while meeting all kinds of crazy characters.

Well ok I've exhausted pretty much all I had to say. Ummmmm Well How about I rate The animated movie I saw last year? That should go well


Toy Story 3: 9.8/10
The only thing I have against it is the humor involving Ken, other than that this had to of been the greatest kids movie EVER. It's got an ending that will make a grown man cry.

How to Train Your Dragon: 9.3/10
Ok this movie has two knocks against it, Toothless coughing back up fish, and A couple of references to Norse gods. Other than that, this movie was amazing, and the characters were all charming.

Despicable Me: 8.0
This movie was by far the funniest of the year. This slapstick movie was one of the more funny kids movies I have seen since Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. The biggest problem with it is that they having you cheering on the Bad guy, sure he's mostly reformed, but you are not quite sure what side of line he walks on at the end of the movie.

Legends of the Guardians: Owls of Ga'hoole: 7.0
This movie was AMAZING visually. By far one of the greatest visual accomplishments of all time. No world has ever immersed me as much as this one did. That being said, This movie's story fell flat on its face. It had great story telling elements, and many great points, but they also dropped the ball on a couple of important plot points. The shaky plot was saved however by incredibly charming characters, and a stunning world.
Oh, and the name stinks

For those who have not noticed, I fixed the comments so that ANYONE can post. You shall be able to use a Blogger account, Wordpress, Name + Email, or even Anonymous. SO I expect for ALL of you to comment.
(yes that mean you over there in the back corner with the sign saying: "You can't make me!")

Without anything else to say, I shall now ramble on endlessly.

No one EVER seems to put up things properly! They just leave DVDs lying around for me to pick up. Or legos on the floor grrrr. Oh yeah, the Packers are going to the playoffs, and are Facing the Eagles, this is going to be a shootout. I am cheering on the Pack, and hopefully we will finally see a super bowl this year. Well I'm done with my rambling, I got bored.

See ya

Comment or DIE!!!!!

The owls of Ga'hoole

I have never been one to love owls, but this movie was good.

This movie has one element though that surprised me. The Father figure was not merely not treated as lesser, but truly honorable. In the movie there are two main Owls and their courses, the brothers Kludd, and Soren.

Soren is a dreamer, he takes in his father's legends of the great guardians to heart, and wants to be just like them. He listens to his father when they are beginning flight training. He truly respects his father. Throughout his adventures he is known to site what his Father says, and even after he learns that his father's tales are not entirely true, he still holds onto them, knowing the tales were really far more gruesome than his father had said.

Kludd on the other hand could not have had less to do with his father. He never listens to his father during training, instead trying to make it off his own power and pride. He scoffs at his father's tales, and takes nothing from his words. and in the end he betrays his family for power, and seeks the false honor from a treacherous evil ruler of the owl world.

Though their Father shows up little, and has little time in it, it is clear his impact on the family, and what happened to those who listened to him, and those who didn't.

Narnia

Well today is the day we go to go see the movie (unless I am sick again, this post is scheduled, i will post a message if we can't make it.) So I figured I will play some Narnia tunes today.

Another Veggie Tales Christmas

Well Last of my TV series of posts. Hope you have all enjoyed them thus far.

This one lops off a little at the beginning and the end. :-/ haven't found a better version, so now I have to show ya this, but, it's still very good.

Personally this is a favorite of mine.

This is not the version I have, but the Only one I could find, It's a classic VeggieTales Episode

Part 1


Part 2


Part 3


Part 4


Part 5


I think it's funny.

Merry Christmas Mr. Bean

I'm no fan of Mr. Bean, I find him to be unfunny generally. SO this one is a bit weird for me. I at least thought it was good for a laugh or two.

Feeling a bit tired.

It's been on of those weeks. We rented How to train your dragon on Monday, the same night that my dad's team lost their star QB. All in all that didn't go well. Buddy was nuts because of the "Dragon wizards" and stayed up half the night. This exhausted Katie, and so she was a crank yesterday. I can't really blame her though, she just didn't get enough sleep.

I've started Reading THE END. That being the last book in a series of Unfortunate Events. I might give my opinion when I'm done, or I might just be lazy and not give you anything.
I have done just about everything I can with this blog. Everything else that must be done can only be done by Kindy (Comment and tell her to hurry up! ;-) )
I'm listening to a lot of Weird Al lately. Just cuz.

We watched Despicable Me last night for $.50 a piece. that came out to be $3.50 for the whole crew to go see a movie together. I enjoyed it a whole lot, and it was incredibly cute. The minions were actually not just slapsticky, but also sweet in their own weird way. I love Edith, and she was my favorite girl.
I want my own Boogie Bots.

So I must get going, and get to work. And while I deal with the artificial tornado in the dining room, I suggest you go enjoy your peace.
