The Christmas Carol review

God bless us everyone!

Today I watched the Christmas Carol in 3D it was pretty cool. I liked it mostly because it was just like the book, with quotes and all.

Jim Carrey fit Scrooge very well. The story is about an old bachelor(Ebenezer Scrooge) who is very negative and edacious, that is' greedy. He dislikes Christmas wholeheartedly misunderstanding the joy in giving. In all he is a colorless, grouchy old man.

Anyway, he, on Christmas Eve, is visited by the ghost of his former coworker who had been dead for seven years. Marley's ghost came and told Scrooge of the chains he bore because of the evil way of life he had lived, he warned Scrooge that he had a chance to change so he could escape Marley's fate. To make the story short Scrooge is visited by three ghosts(past, present and future). I don't want to give anything away for those who have not yet seen the movie(or read the story) all I'll say is Scrooge changed.

Let it Snow!

We had a Snow Day!!!!!!!
So we didn't have to go to school cause it snowed a lot, YAY!!!!

I'm extending the ending date of the contest to 14th of November

A week ago I auditioned for a small part in a movie. They hadn't called me back so I thought they didn't want me for the part. But on Monday we were called up and they said the director wanted to see me. So today I went and saw the director and the main actress's back. The director said I was great and that they would call me if I got the part. So I'm excited, I may be too tall for the part but I'm hoping to get it. The movie is called the Whistle Blower. Scroll down to see a contest.

I am having a competition( ahem... two competions...)

the winner will get a list of things about them or about someone or something they want to do in a fancy way. For an example go to my last post. They will also get a banner. How you enter is by commenting on this post and giving your blog ulr. There will be two winners. One for each contest.

Now these are the contests, Write one paragraph to three paragraphs about any book that you want. Tell me about it and write why you like or dislike post the paragraph/paragraphs on your blog with instructions for this contest and a link back to me. The best one will win. If you are not much of a writer you can enter another contest, you have to post something about anything, whether a tag or whatever, and whoever gets the most comments wins, very simple. But there's a catch, no mentioning anything about comments, don't even hint at it. Just comment on this post that you are entering this one not the other, and have in the title of the post that you are entering three periods before and after the title so I know which one. ex. ...Tag...

The contest starts today and ends on the 2nd of November

Randomness Wednesday

Ok, I'm starting randomness Wednesday because sadly Fridays I'm usually to busy to get to the computer so happy randomness day everyone!

To start off with RW I would like to have an AWARD GIVEAWAY everyone loves award giveaways!

Here is the random story;

A young girl 'probably no older than five' saunters over to two foot tall bench. She peers up at the sky above her and there is the silhouette of a boy probably only 6 or 7 framed by the sunlight standing quite still on the bench. "Joel what are you doing?" the girls voice cooed.

"Nothing," Joel replied curtly, scratching his head pondering what to do, after being at their grandparents house for so many weeks he had experienced the meaning of boredom. His sister sat in the grass crosslegged and started to pull up some of the blades humming a song which she had heard at church earlier that day. 'Thump, 'Thump. The young girl jerked her head upward towards the startling noise. In awe she watched as her older brother jumped up and down on the bench. "I want to try I want to try!" She cried as she clambered up onto the bench. "No, get down," Joel whined. The girl wobbled as she stood up on the bench, and very carefully she immitated her brothers movements 'Thump, 'Thump. The girl's smile reached from ear to ear, as she proudly showed her brother that she could do it just like him. Joel rolled his eyes and jumped off the bench, his game had lost its charm now that his sister had picked it up. "Joel, where are you going," the girl called out. "Inside," Joel grumbled as he dragged his feet towards the house. The young girl stopped jumping and frowned. Sighing she started up the game again but halfheartidly. Suddenly she lost her footing and fell in a heep on the ground and tears poured down her cheeks as she struggled to get up. She had fallen on her leg wrong and broke it.

Sword of the Fathers; Gaurdian of Uldor

Also I ordered a book and it got here a couple days ago, it's called the Lord of the Rings Sketchbook by Alan Lee(one of my favorite artists, aside from Van Gogh) actually Alan Lee is my favorite Illustrater well anyway here is a picture of the cover. Pretty much it's about Alan Lee's point of view as he was helping make the movie and every page has sketches by him. The drawing are inspiring, the writing catches intrest(I've caught my mom and my oldest brother Jon reading it:) I reccomend it! I added some pictures from the inside(click for bigger picture)
