Morning of Birbery

This is it... today's the day! Today is the day that I and 14 other people basically skip pretty much all of school to go to the Baldwin Public Library in order to discuss the Birbery books this year and pick a winner (for more info on Birbery, please see my other post; Committee Day!) This year the books are as well pictured below.

Just Keep Swimming: A Finding Dory Movie Review

Yesterday, I saw "Finding Dory" and I must say it's better than "Finding Nemo". What a way to kick off Summer break! Dory goes on this quest of sorts to find her family. Her call to adventure is when she remembers something at the Sting Ray Migration. The movie goes on as Dory has flashbacks to when she was a kid with her parents and how she got separated from them. Along the way she meets her old pipe pal Destiny, a near-sighted Whale Shark, a mean Septopus named Hank, and a Baluga Whale named Bailey with a giant bump so he can't echolocate. Marlin and Nemo do this crazy thing with Sea Lions and a bird named Becky. That's all for now, but I'll write next time I write! Have a Good Summer! Cobracrane out!

BEST. DAY. EVER.

Today was a great day. I'll tell the worldwide web why the 2nd to last day of school is better than the last day. Today I went roller skating with my whole class! After that we went bowling. Me and my friends came up with Harry Potter characters for our class. I got Harry and ???? got Cho. After bowling, my dad drove me and my friends Mike M., Evan, and Quentin. I got to leave early (well, 10 minutes)! After school at karate, I got a new stripe on my yellow belt! That means I'm one step closer to Purple Belt. In all, I've had a great day and can't wait for school to get out tomorrow.

X-Men: Apocalypse Movie Review

I just saw X-men: Apocalypse and I must say despite the reviews it was amazing! The part I didn't like about it was at the end my dad, sister and I had to wait a long time for the thing that comes at the end of all Marvel movies. At some points, we didn't think there was going to be one.

The Weekend, In General

This was for the Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe.

This weekend was rather exciting because I got to go out of the country for the 2nd time ever! I went to Stratford, Canada to see "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", which was turned into a musical but strangely, Lucy, Susan, Peter, and Edmund were all played by adults! On Saturday, May 21, I saw my first ever Shakespeare play (one I'll never forget): Macbeth! Of course, since it was really, I mean REALLY creepy, we only saw the first half. Today is my Grandma's birthday. She's probably reading this post right now so I'm going to congratulate her on that. So that's the end of THIS weekend roundup but there will be more.

This was on the front of the program for Macbeth.

Weekend Events #1 of Many

Well, it's Sunday and school is tomorrow morning and afternoon so I'd like to sum up what happened this weekend. On Saturday so awesome stuff happened. The first (in chronological order) was that I got my yellow belt in Karate. Second was that I saw Captain America: Civil War. It was amazing although it wasn't what you'd call a Civil War. I don't have spoilers on my movie reviews on this blog. Well, that's it for this weekend. I'm not posting until my next post (kind of ironic, isn't it?) so see ya!
