Random Spontaneous Post II

It's 9:30 on the 2nd of March, and it's still snowing. WE'RE LOOKING FOR SPRINGTIME, HERE!!!
I tried looking to see if Fang's blog (y'know, from the Maximum Ride series) exists, but all I got was a blog about cereal. Oh, wait, I found it. Ignore everything I just said. 


Jake and Ben have been digging a hole in the backyard for about a week now. Last I checked, it was 1 foot 10 inches deep, 10 feet long and 5 feet wide. And we're still digging. Last night I had a dream they took all the dirt from it, built into half a pyramid, and found a gigantic iron bowl and opened up a museum in the backyard. Then the government built a hiking trail in two seconds in the pasture with shovels and then they slid down it with neon green and red skis. That were not broken.

I just realized my blog has nothing to do with little colored fairy lights.

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.

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.

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.

Mom bought me some paints a few days ago, eighteen little paint pots in a set and a watercolors tray, each with a paintbrush. I have been painting little pictures on small rectangles of thick paper, I've made a painting of some sort of fairy princess thing, a thank you card with flowers that do not exist that have strangely shaped petals painted on, and I am working on a picture of Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet.

I found out it's much easier to paint when the paints are newer and the brush isn't frayed. This makes me sound very stupid, doesn't it?

In case you did not notice, I have decided to be a bit more creative with my blog posts. This means
Colors
and
things like that.
