Sub-Evil Boy’s frantic scrabblings

So, today I went to out local library (whooo!) to see if any of my books I ordered came in, and indeed 4 of them had. Now, the first stupid thing was that I had actually ordered the last book in a series I wanted to read instead of the first, so now I have have to order the other SIX books in the series as well. Then, I went upstairs to browse, and I ended up checking out another FOUR books, so now currently lying on the floor here I have

Lisey’s Story - Stephen King
The Tommyknockers - Stephen King
Dolores Claiborne - Stephen King

One word, “D’oh!”

One of the things that happened last year was that I was in a different group for English then anyone else, because frankly, the teacher was not at the level she should have been. I found the class very enjoyable, and I learned loads. Coming over here, I was anxious about what would happen with me in English, and I have been saved by…. an Irishman. His name is Mr. Calahan (????), and he is one of the best teachers I have had for most subjects. He is able to make everything funny and enjoyable, and be serious and have us get work done at the same time. Today we had a Mock-SATs-Exam in English about Richard III, and while I usually hate to don’t like tests, but this was incredibly fun. One of the things I really like, is that even though I’ve only been here for a year, he still says that I will get a level 7 in my SATs, and the highest anyone can get is 8, and NO ONE gets 8, so he thinks that I can basically get the highest possible. I find that really quite amazing, and I’m worried that as soon as I get back the quality of both the education in general, but more specifically English, will go down. While I’m on languages, I must say that I have found that I am loving languages to death. I love doing German, and it will be a shame to stop when i get back.

The date has been set of my departure from England and when we journey into Europe for a month or so. It seems strange that I’ve been here for about…6 months or so, it seems a lot shorter. I’ve had a great time so far, everyone over here has been amazing to me, and just the atmosphere in general has been really good. It seems strange that I have called our apartment here home for so long now, yet it was never truely my home, even the house in Morris isn’t technically my home, because in 4 years or so I shall move out and find a house of my own, and that might just be my true home, butthat’s pushing it. I had a lot of projects to do while I was here, and sadly I’ve done about… 1 of them if I’m lucky. We actually know the exact day we are leaving now, so I can start the official countdown. 109 days left. It’s pretty amazing. I will not reveal, or at least, not yet, the exact date for several reasons, none of which I feel like explaining at this moment, but I’m sure that if you REALLY REALLY need to know, you can figure it out, unless I’ve done the math wrong, which I wouldn’t be suprised if I had. I hope to start blogging (that’s really such a strange word) more frequently as we get closer to leaving, but there will be the SATs in may (big BIG examination) so that will probobly cut my time in half, then amputate all of it’s limbs and digits, so we will see what will happen!!

By now, I’ve probobly let slip to you all that I DO NOT LIKE ATHLETICS. It’s not something that I hide, and I frequintly made a point of pointing out. Well, now I have reason for this policy of mine to change, and it’s found in the most unusual place. When I first came over here, I was scared out of my pants about having to do Rugby. I feared for my life because it sounded like a VERY violent sport, and wacthing the Rugby world cup just fueled that belief even more. Well, after today, I learned, it is a very violent sport, that I really like. It’s not violent like boxing with punching or anything, it’s just American Football, without pads, on steroids, and I actually liked it. There was something strangley energizing about it. Not that it didn’t hurt. It was mildly painful (mostly in the chest), but amazingly, if the tackles were done correctly, it they weren’t so bad, it was when they weren’t so accurate when it hurt the most. I’m actually not too bad at passing the ball, and I almost scored two trys (touchdowns to ye americans), although that was mostly out of being in the right place at the right time, and then getting sacked. I was able to get stuck in it, and I hope to improve as time goes on. This may scare some of you, with both all of the violence and the fact that Thomas is taking an intrest in a sport, but because it’s all between friends, it’s not like we’re all belting on each other, and it hopefuly will all be a good experiance.

Sorry for the long wait everyone, but schools been really time consuming. Now, I have to do a report and stuff on Jasper Johns for an art project, and I made a really cool cover for the folder that I have to give it to my teacher in, so here it is.

As of this morning, I have a school to go to, yeah! It looks very nice, and we will go in to talk to people tomarrow at 2:30, woot!

Ok, so, first we ran into the airport and waited around and stuff, then our flight came in late so we almost missed our second one but we didn’t. This second flight was about 6 or 7 hours long which would’ve been fine except the in flight entertainment was broken so it sucked. Then we drove an hour to my grandmothers were we spent the next week chilling and watching dvd’s. Then we drove 6 hours to Colchester, where we had to rush into the university to get the key to the place were we are currently residing temporarily. We finaly got home and crashed in front of the tv. The next day we visited 5 apartments and realators and stuff which was boring except one of them suggested we went to the local virgin megistore and get a cell phone, which we did!!!! We’ve had alot of fun playing with our new cell phone. Then today we visited 3 more houses and we have chosen one of the ones we chose today, then I came here with my dad to his office for internet and posted this

Just so you know, we got a family cell phone, WOOOOOTTTT!!!!

Hey crazy party people, we just arrived in Colchester, and have a temporary internet solution. Things are fine after a long and tiring journey which really still hasn’t ended. Drop me a line if you can.

Hey everyone, just letting you all know that I have arrived in England, but the internet is limited, so I may take time in responding to e-mails in such, but I am not ignoring you, I will post when I can take internet for granted. Our plane ride was……fun, due to the fact that the first of our two flights was late and we had to do security twice (long story that I will explain later). I am here with my Grandmother in Presten, and will be going to colchester, in about 4-6 days. Bye!

Hello to everyone who came here through my e-mail, thanks for the vote of support, feel free to comment on anything I’ve said up to this point. To everyone, I bid you farewell, for I am leaving sometime tomorrow, and Otto has already left or will be leaving shortly. I hope that everything goes well for both him and me, and to everyone who is not leaving. See you in a little less than a year!!

Recently I saw two movies, TMNT and Premonition. TMNT is about some wierd old general dudes, and some portal, well, it’s messed up and weird, but good. It’s same old ninja turtles, except that the graphics have gotten a well needed upgrade. It gets a 4 and 1/2 out’ve 5. Premonition is about a lady who is told that her husband is dead on thursday, starts time traveling through the week, and figures out what is going on with her life and attempts to save her husbands life. It was good, but it’s mix of good and bad and comfusing parts made me feel bi to tripolar at some points. it gets a 4 out’ve 5. I also recently have been purchasing songs from timbalands new album Shock Value. I have 7 of the 17 songs. It is incredibly good, but the Parental Advisory warning is there for a reason. It’s not that they drop the f bomb once in the entire album, they drop it multiple time in a song, plus it mainly talks about women and “making love” and other such things that make a rap album a rap album. it gets a 5 out of 5

Recently I’ve been searching the web for random cartoons to fill the giant gaps of tedious boredom, and I have come across a series called, Red vs Blue, which is based in the Halo world, and involves two armies (guess what they’re called?!) who are about as smart as penuts fighting for contol of two bases on either end of a box canyon. This stuff is abosolutley hillarious! Sadly, I cannot remember the exact name for the website, but just search google for red vs blue and I’m sure u’ll be able to find it, well, here’s your new murphy quote.

“The person who yells the loudest always gets the floor.”
Murphy’s Laws

I have done 2 things recently, 1. I have seen the illusionist, and 2. I have read the book, “Murphy’s Law“. Both of these things are great and hve inspired me to do things. The Illusionist is a movie about Eisiemhiem the Illusionist, who does some really spectatular things, and winds up in the middle of the murder of his childhood lover, who is also engaged to a prince. It gets, a 5 out of 5 Murphy’s Law is a book of little facts about life that are baised about one main fact, “If anything can go wrong, It will”. I have decided to give you a quote from this book every week, ’til the end of the book. So, here’s the first one, and the book gets a 5 out of 5.

“Nothing is as easy as it looks”.
Murphy’s Law Corollaries #1
Murphy’s Law by Arthur Bloch

I saw 2 new movies recently, Flushed away and the Pristegie(however you spell that crazy word), both of which are good movies for very different reasons. Flushed away is a animated comedy from the Wallece and Gromit people, where a posh rat ends up having to save a sewer city from too many flushing toliets during the half time of a dream world cup final(england vr germany), and falls in love, yaddy yaddyy ya, it’s nothing new, but it’s still good, and has it’s own origanality with all it’s sutilebritish humor. The preistegie, however, is a dark intense thriller that is very complicted to explain and very hard to spoil, where 2 magicians, Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, compete against each other, until they find a weird machine, that in the end causes’ 2 of them to die.

A couple weeks ago I saw the movie open season. It was mildly ok, but it seemed to be trying to be too much like shrek, or over the hegde, but it just wasn’t good at it. The jokes were, chuckleable at best, and over all it became boring. Also, the animation was horrible, it was like japenese anime and claymations sick morphed child, which just puked over the reputation of animated movie’s. So, in the end, it gets a 3 outa 10.

Right now I’m in the play Joseph and the technicolour dream coat, and it’s amazing, if you can make it, come to my performances on the 16th, 17th and 18th of november at the high school auditorium, columbia ave, morris, minnesota, at 7:30. Hope you enjoy!

Okay, Here are some movies I forgot to review over the years.

First, the worst movie ever, barnyard. This is just so horrible there’s no way to describe it. Bad Charactor, Bad Plot, Boring as can be, and the male cows have udders!!!! The only good part is about 20 minuets in, there’s a rat singing “Boombastic” (by shaggy) and that’s cool. After about half an hour, I had to walk out. SO, a 0 out of 5.

Over the hegde: Fantastic!!! This was fast, filled with laughs and so many movie parridies, you’ll cry you’ll be laughing so hard. The plot is fun, the charictors are ones that you can relate to, and it’s just over all a good time.

Dave Chepeles Block Party: Although, it’s not a movie for the little kiddies, it’s funny, filled with good music, and has a level of strangeness that only dave chepel can bring.

and Finannal, Pirates of the carribian 2: Incredibly good, i mean, it’s just fantastic. My mother thinks the alone it was just not good, but i disagree. I think it makes a very good movie, and I can’t wait for the next one wich comes out in late may.

So, in conclusion, Barnyard should never be seen by human ees again, and the rest of the movies should all be seen.
