Even MORE of the Wizard of Oz, plus the obvious is stated

We're actually getting somewhere Wizard-of-Oz wise! Here is some news:


  • Some of the taller flowers are going to double as trees.
  • The trees are going to be stagehands, too. As far as I know, we just really quickly move the props around when the scenes change. All of the props are going to be on wheels, so we don't have to take twenty minutes to change scenes. 
  • There are 10 performances. 
  • We have dedicated about 9 hours, 15 minutes to the play so far. 

Stating the obvious, nothing works, my feet are freezing, and it's 40 degrees outside! The thing that doesn't work of the day is the E-mail thingy! It's stubborn and won't send anything. Not my fault if you receive my replies this time a century from now.

Corrections! Corrections!

For One, apparently Bandito Chinchilla is English. Hm.
For Two, I am too tall to be a flower.So, I am going to be either a tree or a lady-in-waiting. Jacob is still a Kalidah. Kalidahflower!

First practice is on the 27th, according to the calendar! So far, we have dedicated... approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes to the play. Or was it 6?

It's Freezing & The Internet Is Slow! What else is new?

Well, for one it snowed about a half inch of snow. I got a bowlful of it and Mom made snow cream. It's tasty and VERY FREAKING COLD!!!!!!!!!!! My tongue is numb.

Jacob's Song:

I have no idea, and I really don't care.

Encore!

According to the weather, it's not going to get above freezing for a long time.

What everybody in the house is doing right now:
Jacob: "You're making me angsty by using the Internet. Give me the internet now, or I shall dump a bucket of freezing water I got from outside over your head."
Ben: Eating snow cream.
Mom: playing Animal Crossing: City Folk because today is the Festivale in which a peacock that dances named Pave (pah-vay) asks you to gather candy from the villagers by playing games with them and then you trade the candy for Pave furniture.
Me: blogging and loading LOLcats at the same time. According to the T-shirt of the week, a balanced breakfast consists of pancakes, pancakes, and waffles.

Continual Randomness!

Here is something I did with a plastic loom and some nylon loops.


6 red loops, 9 white loops, 9 black loops and weave them together in the CENTER of the loom or else you get this:

Which also works as a hat for Slowpoke.

Usdom Inc.

A few weeks ago my friend Emily and I wrote a letter to the Topco company from my house, complaining about their juice pouches they make and how hard it is to get the straws into them. Emily had the bright idea to, instead of having the return address be to Chandler, to have the name be Usdom Incorporations.

They took it.

They sent a reply and two 2$ coupons for any Topco product.

My B-Day! (a little dance) + Hooray for Slowpoke!

Today is my birthday! I'm 12 now :-) I got a Webkinz black polka-dot fish and 2 Webkinz dogs, who I am going to name (this might sound unoriginal I know) Charelette and Charlie. Also Kaitlin made me a little Irish yarn doll who shall TAKE OVER THE WORLD (with competition from Lucky who spontaneously decided she's taking over the world too) and Emily wrote the infamous Ode to Chandler. No, I am not a Num.


I adopted the Webkinz fish onto the Webkinz World, and I named her Slowpoke. Now I have a stove in my Webkinz World house! (Hey Keilee... I think I'll move it directly in front of the couch! Remind you of anything?)
But there's a scary thing about Slowpoke... for 1, you can apparently bathe fish. For 2, you can brush her nonexistent teeth. Creeeeeepyyyyy... For 3, you can put furniture that belongs above water into an underwater room. For 4, Mr. Zoogles, Ben's Googles, has been jumping on a trampoline for the past... since January 16. He's GOT to be tired by now.

Bandito Chinchilla is named that because Chinchilla is his family name.

Jacob's Song: Why the duct tape did I sign up for this job?

I was Wikipedia-ing stuff, and I found this thing called Longplayer. It's a song that's scheduled to play for one thousand years. Before I could explain it to Jake, he got the idea that they got a bunch of guys to play music nonstop for one thousand years. so he made up an impromptu song. Actually wherever it says duct tape it's actually something R-rated, so... (Hey Britney the Duct Tape usage guide has been put to use!)


Why The Duct Tape Did I Sign Up For This Job?!


Why why why
The duct tape duct tape duct tape 
Did I sign up for this song?
The pay is bad
But the music's rad
But the surfers they do throng


But but but
I'm stuck
Playing this duct tape-ing song
For one thousand years
Pound to my ears
I have to sing
This duct tape song


Jake has copysomethingwrited this song.


All those who put it on the Internet SHALL DIE. 


All those who put it on the Internet shall recieve a harsh warning and get chewed out by Mr. Resetti. 


Next week: A song about the lackeys to the people who sing for one thousand years.
Note: Jacob shall post a song (correction: He'll sing it and I'll type it) once a week.
If all goes as planned. 


Longplayer is actually a piece of music that is designed to last for one thousand years. It started to play on January 1 2000, and if all goes as planned, it will play until December 31, 2999, and then restart. The point to all of this is, during the whole one thousand years, the music will not repeat itself. More information on Wikipedia, I don't like typing really long thingys I have to look up first. 
  
YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE

Ben: What's your favorite movie?

Jake: (after a short pause) (singing) STAR WARS!!!

B: Besides star wars?

J: (short pause) (singing) ANGEL!!!

Chandler: (overhearing from the next room) That's a series!

B: What's your favorite movie besides Angel and  Star wars

J: DAVID THE BARBARIAN!!!!

B: That's not a movie!

J: Yes it is. Chandler, tell Ben David the Barbarian is a movie.

C: Uhhh....

J: My favorite movie is Star Wars.

B: That's everybody's favorite movie!

J: Live with it!

J: Alright then, all knowing one. What is your favorite movie?

B: I don't have a favorite movie. At least I don't know what my favorite movie is!

It looks like Dixie!

Also I changed my bedroom layout last night and it took five hours. But now you can walk without having to jump over things. Just keep on the right side of the first doorway or you'll run into the Guinea pig cage... and bye-bye piggies. Or they'll escape and be free, free, FREE!!!!!!

-Thrillville

In speaking of Thrillville, we got it yesterday. It's a Wii game where you're the new park manager and you run around (you can break the sound barrier) and you talk to people and you have an amusement park and you build roller coasters and shops and all of that. Only
You can make the coasters crash and the riders jump out in parachutes (they love it)
You can place games in your park and play them (there's 50) (including this one called Bandito Chinchilla but it's a chihuahua, not a chinchilla)
Ummmmm... You can possess people (it's really complicated)
You can ride the roller coasters

We also got Spectrobes Origins for the Wii, which has a drop-in drop-out 2 player co-op (Jake and Ben are playing it right now).

Mom got this thing called Opoona... it's the strangest Wii game I've seen... you're this little short person with a dome-shaped head and your only weapon is an orb (or orbs) which floats above your head unless you're a sage in which case the orb is under your feet... It's really odd...

I got a DS game. It's the Cooking Mama 2 thingy. It's quite strange. But then again everything is. NOTHING MAKES SENSE



...I just live here.
