Demigod Rock

Okay, so you know how there is wizard rock and time lord rock? Well, I am thinking of starting demigod rock, which is based on the Percy Jackson series. Here is a link to a video I made of me singing (part) of the first demigod rock song. This is obviously not the finished song, I still have to and instrumentals and more lyrics, but my mom said I should post what I have so far, so here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgeXwch9B2c…

Sombrero

01.06.10 01:32AM


A Mexican sombrero is used for protection from the sun
Poorer people wear sombreros made of straw, richer people of felt
The word "sombrero" comes from the Spanish word "sombra", translated into English literally means shade or shadow
I wore a sombrero today
So today was mine and Jas' first proper day at work! It went really well, though we are still scared of Fred the dummy :( he lurks in the wine cellar, and…

Something Awesome that Happened Today

I was at the beach over the weekend.
I came back to the house, took a shower, and then walked up the back stairs and entered the kitchen.
My dad was standing at the counter doing something on his computer.
Me: Hi
Dad: Hi. Aren't you proud of me?
Me: What?


At that point, I looked at his computer screen, and saw that he was watching "How To Make Babies." It wasn't because he subscribed (I sent him the link), but I didn't…

Dulcimers!

Possibly one of the least talked about instruments (I know there are others, but notice that I said "one of" instead of "the." ....and I tacked on a possibly before it just for good measure.) would be considered the dulcimer. The dulcimer is a beautiful, amazing instrument with four or three strings and is played on one's lap. I have recently acquired one of these dulcimers via eBay (I love that website so incredibly much right now!) and I've been excited to learn new songs on it! One of…

10 things that don't suck: Just another manic (Memorial Day) Monday...

Memorial Day came and went with very little whoop-de-doo over here in Oakland. Here are ten things that have my attention this week that do not suck:



  1. The U.S. Attorney opened a criminal probe of the BP oil disaster. Finally, a well thought-out and measured response to the worst environmental disaster in America's…

Day 141: Things That Amuse Me #8 part 1

I promised I would talk about it today, so here's another musical.


Things That Amuse Me #8: The Fantastiks


The Fantastiks was a musical that came out in 1960. It is very similar to Into The Woods in that it looks at what happens 'Happily Ever After.' The musical follows the story of Matt and Luisa. They fall in love with each other despite the fact that their fathers hate each other (or because of the fact that their fathers hate each other).…

Traveling.

So...in the past two months I've traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana and to Stuart, Virginia. I spent almost a week in Metairie, Louisiana with my aunt Stephanie and her friend. We went to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage festival 2010. It was such a great experience. All the music was good. The food was excellent! The buildings were inspirational. It was just breathtaking going…

My Pride and Joy

I don't think I've ever put this much effort into anything. EVER.
From this, you can undoubtably tell that I am very new to this video editing thing, but it is something I really enjoy and would love to do more often. This video was my first proper Youtube video, other than some video responses I had done in the past. The Vlogbrothers channel was part of the reason I ever decided to make a Youtube channel in the first place, so I am forever grateful to them for helping me to…

Day 140: Monkey!

I suppose you're wondering why I labeled this blog 'Monkey!' I don't really know. It seemed like a good thing to do at the time.


Hi everyone reading this. How are you today? I'm doing well. It's a bit hot for my liking, but that happens. I'm still in that production of Twelfth Night. It's going well. I think we'll be ready by Friday.


So, I figured that I should explain what this is all about. By this, I mean the blogs. After all, it's possible…

Wrapped Up In Books

Hey nerdfighters who enjoy reading!

I've been doing a book challenge for 2010 since March. Yeah, I know I was a little late. Anyway, this book challenge is for charity. The rule is, for every book you read a sum of money will go to a charity of your choice. I think that is really cool. I've read about 30 books so far, and my goal is to read 100 books this year. Even though it is almost June I still encourage those who enjoy reading to do…

The Waiting Sirens

It gets undeniably hard to breathe. I poke holes in my skin. Open the

windows. There is light everywhere, but it only serves to cast shadows.

My hands crack like plaster and I know what it's like to just want to

die, to want it all to stop, to want silence -- even if that silence

means nothing(, nothing, nothing, nothing,) forever. Sometimes there's

top soil in my ears, worms in my soul. I think I was born this way. I

think I was destined for it. I fall apart like… Continue

The follow through...

Current word of the now: lunge

The Admin: half term has begun. Took Friday off... no ties to anywhere, prepare to see my biological clock implode. Had a friend over Friday... when I say friend, I of course mean the son of Mum's douchey friend. It's like babysitting except it's your own house that gets ruined, and there's no money. Sedated him with a few xbox games... there are better people in mind for when the zombie apocalypse comes. What an idiothole. Dad and I going…

nerds , and fashion.

I'm normally perceived as being a tomboy. I'm really strong , and my overbearing nerdiness is hard to transfer into femininity.But somehow , i manage too. I've started being increasing interested in fashion and I really want to make something of this. A fashion blog , perhaps. I just need a creative outlet because right now my life is stressful and boring , a great combination. any help , would be…

HI hi hello!

I'm at Lily's at the moment, after this post we're watching some 'Who so I need to hurry up! To sum up my stay here so far:

Doctor Who confounded me earlier. RORY CAN'T BE DEAD!

We just danced to Tricky by Run DMC

We're about to watch Nature Lover by Barats and Bereta - here is our general reaction: silent laughter is the best kind. HERE YOU GO… Continue

Day 139: Oh, look! Hatred!

I just feel that all of you should know that I really hate bugs. This isn't just a tame 'Oh, they kind of annoy me' hatred. This is a strong hatred that burns with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns (I may have stolen the phrase from my sister). My hatred for bugs are right up there with my hatred of gym class.


If you're wondering why I am all of a sudden professing my hatred for bugs, it's really very simple. Last night, the director of Twelfth Night was giving…
