Aladdin Jr.

Aladdin is my favorite Disney movie of all time by a long shot. Princess and the Frog comes close, but not too close. At school, the play this year is Aladdin Jr. and I got a role I wasn't expecting. I got 1 of the guards, and after looking at the roles one more time, I saw that I was one of the 3 princes that are Jasmine's suitors. I am (the) Prince Formerly Known as the Artist. The other 2 were Prince Baba of Ganoush and Prince Dadu-Rahn-Rahn. So I knew I lucked out on the name.

Test Days

These 3 days (including today) are very unlucky for my family. Today my sister has a math quiz that's graded like a test (she told me). Yesterday I had a math unit test for Algebraic Expressions and Properties. And 2 days ago, I had an Science unit test for Energy and Heat Transfers. Good thing tomorrow is a half day. The bad thing is I have to wear my small Halloween costume.

Callbacks

Yesterday, I had audition callbacks for the play Aladdin Jr. We used the actual script! It was really cool. I read some of the lines for Aladdin, and Iago, the parrot. Overall, it was fun and I can't wait to see if I got a good part.

Aladdin Auditions

Yesterday was the auditions for the play Aladdin Jr. at school. I think I did really well. We had to sing Friend Like Me if we were boys and had a choice between Prince Ali and Friend Like Me. I sang Friend Like Me and read the Aladdin monologue. A monologue is a conversation with 1 person, if you didn't know. Anyway, I liked the audition and I think I got a speaking role.

Halloween

Yesterday, I got my Halloween costume, but I tried it on and it was WAY too small. But the cape fits and so do the teeth, but nothing else does. I am trying to be a Vampire Rabbit, so we got mouse ears and a bunny tail. The tail keeps falling off but the ears fit. I think that I will not actually wear the costume except the cape, the teeth, the tail, and the ears.

The Dentist (duhn-duhn-duhn!!!!)

Today I went to the dentist. I got 3 teeth pulled out and I have no more baby teeth. I feel really happy  because a: the dentists are really nice and let you get gum. I took 2 packs (both different flavors) of Wrigley's Extra gum. One was Polar Ice (which I think is Wintermint or Peppermint) and the other was Classic Bubble, b: there's a Wii in the waiting room and there's Mariokart Wii (I'm REALLY good at it) already in the Wii. So I got to play before I went to the TORTURE ROOM where the Dentists work inside YOUR MOUTH!!! UH-OH!! Anyway, I got a filling and a lot of other stuff. I think it took about AN HOUR.

The Adventures of Frosty Book 2: Tumble in the Tundra Chapter

Right when the four were about to go to sleep, there was a huge RIBBIT. Everything froze for a second (literally). Then, Snowy had breathed fire and freed himself. He freed everyone else. Then, without a moment's notice, he started attacking the other people. "Ahhh! Frosty! Help!" Cakeman and Pop screamed. But Frosty was deeply asleep. Ice Cream Men are known for their unwakableness. Cakeman and Pop tried to shake him awake, but it was no good. Finally, after about an hour, Frosty woke up and wished he had brought his magic broom. BUT, he had his magic hat (Ice Cream Men are also snowmen). He threw the hat over Snowy and he became calm.
"Now we still have 1 problem," Frosty said,
"The Freezer Frog."
"Oh yeah," Pop said
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Cakeman and Pop said at the same time. It ribbited again.

Goodreads Quizzes

Today my friend showed me (Not really but sort of) that you can put quizzes on Goodreads.com. I think I can create my own quiz. In fact, I will.

The Adventures of Frosty Book 2: Tumble in the Tundra Chapter 4

"Ah! Don't kill us!" Pop screamed at the top of his lungs. Cakeman and Pop started running as fast as they could. But Frosty just stayed there. "Frosty, you're gonna die!" said Pop
"No! I'm fine! He just pounced on me because there was a thorn in his paw!" Frosty explained. Frosty tried and tried but just couldn't get the thorn out. Pop joined in and STILL they couldn't get it out. Then Cakeman joined in (Cakeasaurs have legendary strength) and FINALLY they got the thorn out of his paw. "Can you talk? What happened to you?" Frosty asked.
"I can talk. It was Mystery Meat."
"MYSTERY MEAT?!?!?!?!?!?!" Frosty and Pop said at the same time.
"Who's Mystery Meat, Frosty?" Cakeman asked.
"Remember that bedtime story I once told you, "The Legend of Mystery Meat?"
"Yeah."
"Well, this is the Bad Guy from that legend."
"But I thought it was just a legend" Cakeman said,
"So did everyone else here, buddy. It was also said in a legend that nobody went near Snow Cone Sabertooths because they breathe fire. Look at Snowy over here. HEY! Can we call you Snowy?"
"Sure. And if you want me to come with you, I will." Snowy said. 
"Hey, guys. Sun's getting pretty low. We should get to sleep." Pop told the rest of the Quartet. What Pop DIDN'T mention that he saw a shape like a Frog and a piece of Steak as he calmly went to bed. ALMOST.

La Boheme

Yesterday I was in the opening night of Puccini's La Boheme. It was really fun. I even had a solo part! After our part was over, I got to watch the rest of the show with my mom and dad. I really liked Act 3. After the show was over, my parents, my friends the Papadopolus', and I got dessert at this place called Angelina's. I tried Calamari for the first time. I REALLY liked it. Overall, last night was great. Even though I got to my house tired and thirsty.

The Adventures of Frosty Book 2: Tumble in the Tundra Chapter 3

The next day, the Terrific Trio sent out from the camp to find this Snow Cone Sabertooth. They walk in the snow for hours and hours until Cakeman said, "I think I saw paw tracks at the camp."
"Oh darn it. Cakeman, you're saying that we made camp in a Snow Cone Sabertooth's lair?"
"Yep."
"Oh come on!!!!!!" Frosty exclaimed. "Good thing this tundra's round. We've already gone 3/4 of the way around." So, they walked for an hour. When they got back, there were claw marks EVERYWHERE. They walked into the camp and immediately got pounced on.

Mornings

Last night we had a dress rehearsal for La Boheme until 10:00. It was really tiring and I'm putting this together as a last minute piece of writing. La Boheme opens on the 17th of October.

Ninja Warrior

There's this awesome show that I like called American Ninja Warrior. I want to be on it someday. But it didn't start in America. The original Ninja Warrior was in Japan. It was called Sasuke (ninja warrior in Japanese). I also saw a bit of the U.K.'s version of Ninja Warrior. All of them are obstacle courses.

Adventures of Frosty Book 2: Tumble in the Tundra Chapter 2

 Frosty recovered just in time. The ice cream cake polar bear was inches away. Frosty ran as fast as he possibly can. Then he was suddenly dragged under the snow. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Help! Pop! Cakeman!"
"Frosty, we're out of the cave". Pop said
"Where are we?"
"Huh?"
"I said, WHERE THE FUDGECANO ARE WE?"
 "Oh. We're in our new camp. If we're ever in trouble, we just come here. But geez, no need to swear." They were in a tent with a picture of an Ice Cream Cone on it. Outside there was a lit campfire with chocolate rods as the timber (everything is desserts in Dessertia)
"Sorry. I was just irritated that you couldn't hear me."
"Apology accepted. There was actually snow in my ears."
"By the way, thanks for saving me from the cake polar bear (short for ice cream cake polar bear). It almost got me."
"No problem. We should take a rest. Who knows what will happen tomorrow".

Spirit Animals 2

Usually at recess, I play a game based on the Spirit Animals book series with my friend Nolan. Not everybody on the #HJW team knows him. He's in 5th grade. We played with the talismans for a while (read the books to find out what those are) and played Fish Out of Water with his friends.

Staging La Boheme (the Bohemians)

Yesterday night, I was at the Michigan Opera Theatre (MOT) at our rehearsal for the opera La Boheme (the Bohemians). We were with every single adult that's in La Boheme (at least for act 2). We saw the Principal roles (Mimi, a Soprano, Rodolfo, a Tenor, Marcello, a Baritone, Colline, a Bass, and Schaunaurd [I don't know how to spell that], I think a Baritone), the vendors, the people walking around in the marketplace, the other kids,  and the rich people sitting in the Café Momus. I have a solo part and the scene that I sing it in is really fun. Our "mothers" chase us I think for trying to get toys from Parpignol, the toy seller. We have to hide from them. I hide under the table the principal roles are sitting at. Then my "mom" finds me and I sing (because everything in an opera is singing. There's NO talking in an opera) that I want a toy trumpet and a toy horse. I'm really excited because I get to perform on opening night.

Mom and Me

After school today, my mom and I had some alone time. So, we went to Oberweis. Oberweis is a dairy store that has Ice Cream, Milk, AND has birthday parties there. So, my mom and I went to Oberweis, ate our ice cream (I got chocolate caramel crunch and my mom got Chocolate Peanut Butter) and played Mouse Trap (they have board game there [Chess, and other games]). Then we had to go home. Today was a great day.

Divergent Book Review

Yesterday I finished the book Divergent and am now reading the second book in the Trilogy, Insurgent. Divergent has some sad parts at the end, but it was a great book nonetheless. Veronica Roth did a great job writing these books! I couldn't stop reading them! I would give Divergent 5 Stars. It was a great book!

Qudditch

Do you guys remember that form they gave us in September about playing Quidditch? I signed up for Quidditch and it's fun so far. This week we did stuff as Chasers. It was a little boring seeing as I already know the basics of the game. There was a Harry Potter summer camp I took a few years ago. There were 2 houses (Gryffindor and Slytherin) and not Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. We played with the Snitch being a Person running around in a Snitch costume. The brooms were pool noodles, the Quaffle was a big ball, the bludgers were 2 smaller balls. Overall, Qudditch was fun and I can't wait for next week.

NYC

Today, my parents went to New York city. They're there for some kind of meeting. Meanwhile, back in MI, we get the best Grandma ever to be with us for the next few days. She lives in Tennessee so we don't see her or our Grandpa very much. They're my Dad's parents.
