Anno Domino 2010, May 26 Wednesday

Hello all. I'm currently staying with one of my brothers and his family, along with two of my sisters. We're helping my brother and his wife to move. You may be wondering why I keep listing the movies I've watched and the books I've been reading. It's not just to bore you with every little entertainment I enjoy. It's because I need to remember the things I've watched and books I've read for a project my next semester RA has asked all the room leaders to do. And I'm too lazy to write these things down where they belong right away, so I put them here.

Movies:
Sweeney Todd
The Little Mermaid

Books:
Dog in the Dungeon by Ben M. Baglio
Dinotopia: The Hatchling by (I can't remember)
Dinotopia: Sabertooth Mountain by (I can't remember)
Sable Quean by Brian Jacques

Pretty picture for today for thee:

Ello. So, this is going to be a quick entry. I finished reading The Silmarillion and am now reading Roverdam by Tolkien. It's a funny story. Roverdam is about a dog who bites a wizard and is punished by the wizard. The wizard changes the dog into a toy at first, but later the dog returns to being a dog, except that his size is not yet restored. I haven't gotten any farther than that yet. Frieda, Holly, and I walked to the library today. I find libraries quite nice, even smallish ones like this one. I got a couple of books, a few fiction and one non-fiction on the ship Old Ironsides. And I still have a majority of the books I got from the other library yet to read.

When asked what else I should put in my blog, Frieda would not respond, at least not in terms relevant to the question. When asked if she were fine with this statement about her being on my blog, she responded in the positive.


Doctor Who episodes:
The Robot
The Sontaran Experiment
Genesis of the Daleks

Movies:
Oliver
I Love Lucy series
Veggietales: King George and the Rubber Ducky


And here is a pretty thing for you today:

Anno Domino 2010, May 14 Friday

Good early afternoon. I'm still reading The Silmarillion. Actually, I haven't read anything yet. Today, the library was having a book sale, so Ruth and I went to look at the books for sale. I got a couple of books, five to be precise. Two were language learning books (a French one for Holly and a German one for me), a book on unsolved mysteries. a fantasy book, and another book. I can't remember the titles. It is fun to browse through books and sometimes come upon cheap good books.

Doctor Who Episodes:
The Talons of Weng-Chiang

Hihi. So, apparently, I'm going to be staying home this weekend instead of traveling. Sharon's birthday party is tonight. I might write more tonight.

EDIT: Here's the more I said that I would write tonight, even though it's only afternoon. On Tuesday, I was able to go to the public library in Bettendorf, which is a very nice library, and check out some books. I've read one of them so far, The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne. Apparently, I've been mispronouncing Jules Verne, who is French, as my younger sister Holly, who is self-teaching French, so kindly pointed out to me. I'm thinking about putting reviews up for the movies I watch and books I read, just for fun. I might not get to all of them. Right now, I've resumed reading The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. I started reading it during the school year, but I kept on getting too busy to read it. Holly has been pressuring me to read it so she can read it because I told her that I wouldn't let her read it until I've finished reading it because I had already started reading it. Yes. Very much so. Well, I need to get busy with more important things. Bye-bye.


Doctor Who Episodes:
The Power of Kroll
The Stones of Blood
The Androids of Tara

Movies:

Well, today, I planned on sleeping in till at least 9 am, but Ruth woke me up a little after 8 am with a tempting proposition: a trip to the Niabi Zoo. It was well worth giving up some sleep. Even though the zoo doesn't have any cheetahs, it was still really fun to see all the different animals. I've been able to watch more Doctor Who episodes. I love the fourth doctor, or the Doctor-with-the-really-long-scarf. I'm currently watching Doctor Who: The Ribos Operation, the first installation of the keys of time series.

I'm still looking for a job, though I won't really be able to start a job until the middle of next week because I'm going to be helping Ruth this weekend and into next week. I'm going to try for the hotel again, then start looking elsewhere.

Doctor: "I'm not sulking."

Doctor: "I'm not old!"

Doctor Who episodes:
The Pyramid of Mars
The Ark in Space
The Pirate Planet
The Ribos Operation
The Horror of Fang Rock


And here's a comic for your amusement. Holly, this one is for you. What does this remind you of?

Anno Domino 2010, May 8 Saturday

School is over now. Yeah. I'm blogging from my older sister's house. I got to sleep in today. I watched Doctor Who: Pyramid of Mars. It was so funny. I love old sci fi and the way they tried to do things without graphics and animations. So, I've started on one of my summer movie goals: watching the Doctor Who episodes. And I'm blogging before noon too. And I played Scott's secretary today (and by that, I mean my brother-in-law dictated his paper to me as I typed). Anyhoo, that's all for now.

I love this picture. The tiger's expression is great.

Anno Domino 2010, May 6

Hello. I'm finally done with all my finals and schoolwork. Now it's time to go hunting for a job and spend time with my family. So, next semester I'm going to be a room leader. It'll be both fun and hard. I'm wondering if I should make a list of things I want to do this summer or not. I usually don't get everything done on the lists I make. Hm, maybe read 30 books could be one of the goals. Vacuuming my room would be another goal. It hasn't been vacuumed in nearly two years (gross, yeah). I know my room doesn't get vacuumed when I'm not there, and I don't remember ever vacuuming it last summer, and then there was last school year, so it must be nearly two years since that room was vacuumed (shhhhh, don't tell Mom). Maybe drawing a few pictures could be on my list. Writing an epic novel. Haha, there I go, making a list. A movie list would be good too, though I highly doubt I'll be able to see any of them, considering that my movie tastes differ greatly from those of other people at home (who in their right mind wouldn't appreciate documentaries?).

Summer Goals (so far)
1. read 50 books (at least 30 have to be new reads)
2. vacuum my room thoroughly
3. work on that story I wrote in highschool
4. draw a few pictures
5. keep my fish alive
6. get a job

List of movies I want to see over the summer (old and new movies)
1. Planet 51
2. All the Doctor Who episodes
3. Thr3e
4. Expelled
5. Get Smart movie
6. The Count of Monte Cristo
7. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
8. Duma
9. The Man in the Iron Mask
10. The Time Machine
11. Wall-E
12. 10,000 B.C.
13. Redwall
14. Spaceballs
15. The Last Unicorn
16. The Dark Knight
