The Monkey World Weekend Edition: Issue 26

The 26th Weekend post on the 26th of December right after good ol' Christmas

Well at least that's what it should've been the problem was most of the charm around these parts was lacking. On Christmas Eve instead of going to Grandma's or Uncle John's and hanging out with the cousins (We switch sides every now and then) and having agrand time chatting catching up and playing games something else happened

Oh instead we went over to Grandma's and um......did nothing!! Mom and Grandma spent the whole day compiling family history booklets for everyone,I admit I like the content and the idea but c'mon that's just no way to spend a Christmas Eve and what's worse I asked if I could do something and it seemed like they had everything well done by themselves.In the end it seemed like the day was gonna be a trade off between Asm and me for the computer since there were no relatives around. The 2 good things however were the dinner [Thanksgiving leftovers] and one game with Aunt Jan

Yesterday being Christmas was a nice little get-together with Uncle John and his daughters for a nice brunch and then in the afternoon we went back to Grandma's except this time I thought of playing games with Aunt Jan earlier and brought a book just in case.After all of that booklet mubo jumbo was done we had a gift exchange in which I got some fudge and a pillow while I gave Grandma and Aunt Jan two of my artworks (A clay box and a clay pencil holder I just hope Aunt Pat doesn't hate my sculpture and while I'm at it I hope all the gifts I gave are appreciated)

For christmas I got

A new video game system with 4 new games and controllers
A wallet
A book
Clothes
Gift Cards
Candies
A DVD collection of Tim Burton's and Joel Schumacher's Batman series [which I'll probably review shortly]
Checks

I hope on Monday to go skiing up at Sugar Bowl [which I did last year]

And finally as far as new years resolutions go,I think last years still apply

The Monkey World Weekend Edition: Issue 25

Fear not my loyal readers,I am back.

Now that the Cross Country season is over,I have more time on hand.I only wish the season went out with a Bang or whimper as opposed to a "What the heck was that?!".Seriously the guys running it didn't plan it that last race well.In the end it ended up being a race on a weird course, in the rain, on a slant favoring the mud puddles and a bad start for everyone. All this increased the amount of everyone's time by at least 4 minutes. Oh well the rest of the season was good

School ain't as great as it was last post,but hey at least Pottery class offers mild relief. (I've got a pencil box in my room,a mug-like centerpiece at the table,a box in the living room,and a sculpture at the schools gallery,be nice and you might get something for Christmas cousins)

I've also come to the conclusion that Dark Knight is vastly overrated,and that Heath Ledger is not Joker enough (at least not like the 1989 Joker).Those Tim Burton films are really quite something.

Aw well that's enough for now

School This Year: Pro or Con

Well I've now been in school for 2 weeks.I can definitely say it's been better than last year.I'm finally awake for all of seminary (as opposed to almost none 2 years ago,and parts last year).No doldrums class for once [at least not so far] and I'm at last on top of things,mostly. (My room could be a bit cleaner)

On the other hand the hardest Freshman class was easier than the easiest Junior class and it's not like I can slack off without worry.

I also just got started on Peter and the Starcatchers which is of course a fanfic (and yes I do use the word fanfic to describe it) prequel to Peter Pan.So far so good but I'm afraid it's just not Sisters Grimm or Fablehaven oh well I guess you can't have everything.

I can't promise anything but I shall try to make a post next week,or maybe ressurect the Weekend Edition.Stay tuned

P.S. Camp Pillow says Hi and this bottle of Irn Bru is awesome.

First Post in Ages

Well for now I'm back,for now.This is the last week before I must get serious on that hell-hole they call School.

I finally got to see Miyazaki's newest film Ponyo.Awesome fil of course I haven't found one Miyazaki film not to be awesome. Whether it be Castle in the Sky,Princess Mononoke,Spirited Away,or Kiki's Delivery Service. Yes I Disney dubbed them all,but since they were written and hand drawn and not made originally Disney,they don't count as part of the dreaded D's films. What can I say,I can't stand how unbelieveably sappy Disney films are.

I also found out the hard way,that even the gentlest looking curves in the Berkeley Hills can be treacherous (I've got gause and bandages all over my left side to proove that). Note to self never trust streets with English names [Sterling,Whitaker,Miller,Stevenson,nope casn't be trusted].

Can't wait for the Scottish Gathering and Games next weekend [mmm Irn Bru,Meat Pies,and Mars Bars that's the true meal for the American turned Briton for one day,I just hope the Kilt selection is better].

Day 4 without Dad

That's right,El Daddy-O has left the nest for a 2 week music-thang all the way in Italy. Asm up at girls camp

So far I haven't done much of anything except take maybe a walk.I've mostly just been playin' video games and catching up my Psych.(Good show it is)
Maybe one of these days I can find that bathing suit and get out of the house.

Well I guess that's about it til' something good and excitin' happens oh well since this is boring in itself I'll do the ol' Cambridge University trick and see if I can still be read right now. And see if people really can read this so long as the first and last letters are the same.

It semes I hvae no cohice but to sgin off,Aoids agoims! Off to Drnlmaed wtih me heeheh!

Yet Another Title of No Meaning

Well guys,I'm back from from my family's *Triennial* Colter Family Reunion!

Ok first I got up at 3 in the mornin',now normally I'd be complaining but well I'm still on seminary time. After that,it was a 7 hour car ride down to Irvine,but thankfully I had my MP3 player with an audio book on it (The book being called Pillage it's good book but I'm not getting into the details,after all I can review it). So Ma and Co. landed at my Uncle David's house and 'ol Ma was doin' Reunion stuff. I got to hang out with Sahara and Kent for most of the time and their big puppy Gunther (despite being a huge dog,Gunther was and is a hyperactive puppy at heart).After checking in at the Hotel,I hanged out for a while. After that it was mostly just dancin' and bein' merry (The Mormon way people don't get no ideas).

The next day was a beach day,in which I finally mustered up some courage to use a boogieboard (This time I didn't make one costly mistake). I also found out Ra doesn't like me much seeing as he kind of sent The Sun to try to kill me, thankfully I only got maimed by that yellow ball demon he sent [the aftermath hurt for days though].

The final day I spent stuffing myself with shortbread that my Aunt Michelle made (Man that stuff is dope! All that buttery,sugary goodness)


Yesterday I finally saw that movie Emmza,KB,Mitchy,and Asm wouldn't stop talking about called "Newsies" which is about a bunch of New York boys that sold newspapers for a penny,while buyin' em for 2, therefore having to sell lots 'o papers to live.However then the head o' the paper decides to raise the price them Newsie boys have to pay 10%.Since they barely live as it is they decide to go on strike. So yeah that's what I did to celebrate my half birthday.

I also came back to my other blog so please read it if you read this post. Once again the address is madmonkey64.blogspot.com or you can just go to the right column where it lists blog lists and click on "Monkey Worl'd N64 Gate". That's all

BUMPER STICKER OF THE DAY: It's 5 O' Clock somewhere

Blah Blah Blah

Exactly what this blog looks like now but well I've got some news

First off I go to see Transformers 2 on Saturday,awesome movie but a little long and a few plot holes but oh well. Then I got to relax as Asm and Genun went out on a date (yup lots of dates it seems{anyone know when the proposal happens [eyebrows go up]heh heh})

Next,I've decided to finally come back to N64 Gate so long as y'all comment after all feedback is nice.

After that the family went out to Walnut Creek to celebrate cousin Colter's mission party,lots of food,more than enough for this guy with a hollow leg

Sorry I haven't blogged much,but hey I've got swimming to do,video games to play,naps to take,books to read,and *sigh* homework to do
