Thought for the Day

Ricky Gervais: We painted his bedroom black. We want him to be a satanist–only joking, we want him to be a gay accountant.
Stephen Merchant: Some would say they’re the same thing.

BRITANNICK

Love this video. I’ve watched it so many times, and for some reason have not posted it here:

Kanye v. Taylor

I think this entire Kanye West situation is hilar, which is why I find this hilar:

CSI GIFS

I love finding these. Recently, my computer was reformatted and so I need to go on a desperate search through my email to find all my favorite gifs. I’ve found CSI gifs as well as hilar conversations with Kyla.

100th Post!

In honor of our 100th post, I shall post about Avatar: The Last Airbender and Bruno sex conversation.

So, this is a movie by M. Night Shyamalan and it’s casting is being criticized basically because the story is centered around East Asians and Mr. M. Night hired an almost all-white cast. I just read the funniest thing ever on ONTD:

The Last Airbender

Bruno sex conversation under the cut:

Red-headed league has an iPhone

Hey yos! Wazzup with all the people who read our blogs (which is probably just Brown Sugar and Estaban)? It’s a nice day here in Maryland, mostly because I just got an iPhone!!!!!! It’s the best thing in the entire wold, I swear. I mean, if Harry Potter had
to choose between his wand and an iPhone, he would probably choose the iPhone. Then he could videotape the evidence of voldemort’s return and no one could call him a lier. And he could wikipedia useful spells in case he got stuck in bad situations, which he always does. He could even have a blog: A Portrait of Harry Potter–Darkness at Noon.

Anyway are you guys excited about the half blood prince???!!!! I am!!! we have big plans for tomorrow, meaning mostly we are going to have a Bastille Day celebration and then go see the movie. Midnight showing baby! It is officially the summer of hp part deux. With better special effects.

So that’s pretty much the plans for the future. Chillin with the worlds best friends. I should get back to them now because I’ve been on this phone for way too long already. Toodles!! Stay chill. Red-headed league out.

I should be getting ready for the Williamsburg trip that I’m leaving for at 5:30 tomorrow morning, which is why, at midnight, I have instead found this:

Imprint needs a better name

So at some point last year, Andrew Sims made an announcement on MuggleCast asking for suggestions regarding a name for the Twilight podcast he was planning at the time. Naturally, because Alex and I are the most creative beings on the planet, we had a few ideas. I think we came up with these in History one day when we were in the computer lab. Unfortunately, we ended up forgetting about them, and never actually e-mailed them to Andrew. I am quite confident that if we had, his podcast wouldn’t have ended up with such a lame title.
Here is our list of possible genius podcast names (it is a truth universally acknowledged that all podcast names must end with ‘cast’):
• Bitecast
• Applecast
• Get Vampedcast
• Vampcast
• Bellcast
• Edcast
• Bloodcast
• Mugglesuckers
• Simssuckers
• Bloodsuckcast
• Fangcast
• Hotcast
• Deadsexycast

Tumblr for Recordings

http://sandthegp.tumblr.com/

So basically, wordpress doesn’t allow us to upload mp3 recordings, which made us v. sad. “Us” being Salazar & the Gryffinpuffs; Maryland’s premier Wizard Rock band.

However, there was a solution! Alex was already using a tumblr to host music recordings for her college applications, so the perfect solution was to just create another tumblog, only this time for the band!

We have this wordpress, in addition to a myspace, the tumblr, a fanfiction, a vimeo, and a youtube.

The only downside to this tumblr thing is that Alex forgot how to write html coding for themes, and therefore must depend on the ready-made themes provided for on the site. This is slightly annoying because she still hasn’t figured out how to put our wonderful band pictures up as a banner, or whatever.

Anyways, we’re happy to be here on the hipster dominated tumblr!

College

Wunderkinds Annoy me.

http://joshmohrer.com/post/89475561/public-outrage

Personally, it pisses me off when wealthy wunderkinds generalize the American populace so condescendingly. Everyone must be pissed off about the AIG bonuses because they’re jealous poor people, right? There’s no way that they might be thinking logically about the situation at all. The entire end part about how the execs need to be getting bonuses so that they can “solve the problems” doesn’t cut it for me. The GM execs need private jets to fly places faster so that they won’t be bothered by the same airline annoyances as the little people? What kind of BS is that? Obviously the GM people weren’t thinking so well on their private jets BEFORE they shitted their company up; what makes us think that they will do so much better thinking now? While the GM and Ford people are riding their gorgeous G5s fom Detroit to Washington (begging for a bailout to save their company) , the toyota execs are making great innovations that have paid off in the long run!

And why should we as the American tax payers have to reward their failures by continuing to finance their ambivalance? When they were getting paid big bonuses scot free, they certainly weren’t motivated to enough to pay attention to the bad outcome of their actions. The atmosphere of greed and DESERVING these bonuses for doing shit is what got is in this mess in the first place. If anything, giving out these bailouts and then REWARDING these boneheads for their failures were just teach them that every time they get lazy and greedy, the American tax payers will bail them out again.

And that is the worst part. Usually, we taxpayers don’t know where our money goes? Yeah, right. We know exactly what happens with the money pay to support the government, but most don’t know why its being used as a salary for nongovernment workers! The bailout was supposed to go towards saving the company! How is an enormous bonus going to help the company at all? It’s not even GOING to the company! It’s going to the coffers of those greedy bastards. These AIG idiots need bonuses when they prove to their employees, their shareholders, and the American people who are currently paying for their mortgages and car payments that they can fix the system they messed up.

With that being said, congress cannot pass any bills to retroactively tax the execs for the money WE gave them. If I were a congressmen, I would be more embarrassed than angry. At the time that the bailout bill was being negotiated, people were far more concerned with any extra pork on the bill than what the IMPORTANT money would go towards, and no one, including Obama & Clinton, attempted to put any limits on what the money could be used for. Therefore, we cannot punish the execs for our mistakes. Besides, trying to tax them like this is a bit to authoritarian for my tastes.

It’s these times that I like to take a break and listen to some Karl Pilkington.

Catch-TwentySunday

Google Lab likes Catch-22

Just call me Trelawney

Yesterday, when I was trying to remember how to write a research paper, I went looking through some old, back-up documents to find my paper from Freshman year. While looking through my “school” folder, I saw a document titles “Deathly Hallows Predictions.” I wondered why it was stored in the school folder, but after reading it I realized that it was a prediction I wrote for a teacher who was holding a predictions contest. He wanted people to give him written predictions of what they thought would happen in DH, and the person who got the most right would win a wand of their choice. I wrote part of mine, and never really finished or turned in, which I completely regret. And you’ll see why.

So here’s a little excerpt of what I wrote, pasted straight from the document:

• Harry is not a horcrux. No way.
• Snape works for the Order
• Hogwarts will reopen, but Harry will not return for classes. He will visit though…
• There is a horcrux at Hogwarts
• RAB is Regulus Black.
• Grawp is not pointless after all! He’ll fight on the good side and squash some Death Eater butt.
• Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione are set relationships. I we don’t [apparently I couldn't speak two years ago. I think that's supposed to be "if."] see marriage in the actual book, it will at least be mentioned in the epilogue.
• We’ll see Krum again, and he’ll be part of the trigger that gets Ron to make a move on Hermione.
• Percy’s a jerk, but he’ll redeem himself somehow

I suppose it’s time for Snape now.
Snape works for the Order, and has since the night James and Lily were killed. Dumbledore’s death was planned, and he wanted Snape to kill him. It may not have been planned fpr that specific night, but it happened to be the right time. So when Snape said, “Don’t call me a coward,” he meant that it took a lot of strength and courage to continue with Dumbledore’s plans. However, Harry will go through the majority of the book believing that Snape works for Voldemort, and it isn’t until Harry witnesses Voldemort killing Snape that he learns the truth. Snape did love Lily, and part of the reason that Dumbledore trusts him is because he made a deal with Voldemort that he would give him certain information about the Potters if he promised to spare Lily. When she was killed, he decided to switch sides in an effort to seek revenge. Also, because Snape’s a greasy git, this would give him a reason other than helping Harry, a selfish reason, for fighting on the good side.

However, these predictions vary greatly with the list that Alex, Alison and I all came up with. I’ll probably post that another day just because it’s so hilarious. One prediction was “Hermione will say, ‘Embargo, Ron!’”

FUG YEAH!

SLUM DOG WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was really long. I’m really tired. Too much dancing. Too many montages. And I really disliked how the top best actresses/actors winners presented those awards. How did they determine who would do present?

SLUMDOG OWNS!

Fuck this! Why do they have to show the deceased-tribute at the end when I’m half asleep! I’ll pay proper tribute directly after having seen Amy Adam’s bright red dress on the red carpet. Instead, they play after the technical awards, which tbh, no one except for their families care about. I love Paul Newman, but i was half asleep by the end of that.

DANNY BOYLE BETTER FUCKING WIN THIS!

*

DANNY BOYLE WONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! THAT IS ENOUGH FOR ME! 28 DAYS LATER! HE IS SO CHILL!!!!!

*

Kate Winslet better fucking win, otherwise, the Ricky Gervais Theorem of Oscar Winning will be proven incorrect.

*

She won! LOVE KATE WINSLET! THE THEORY PROVES TRUE ONCE AGAIN! Notice that she didn’t thank Ricky. The true genius. Can’t wait to see what he says about this.

*

Best actor@ If Brad Pitt wins, I’m going to eat a mushroom covered with bananas and pudding. Alison and Kyla understand what that means.

What the heck is with Adrien Brody’s facial hair? He couldn’t shave for the oscars? Even RPattz shaved!

Ironically, RPattz is sitting behind Mickey Rourke. Both men have managed to shave. Rourke, however, couldn’t manage to take off his glasses.

Michael K caught that shit.

Alex’s Oscar Blog

Uhhhh Miley Cyrus’s dress. Gross.

LOVE SONG AND DANCE NUMBERS@!

Five really awesome oscar winning women presenting the awards? Fun Fact: Goldie Hawn taught my mom ballet when Mama was in 4th grade…

*

Steve  Martin and Tina Fey! Too funny of an entrance. “Every great movie starts with a screen play. Or an great movie poster.”

That is how I want to make my great movie!

*

God, why don’t people just literally have sex with Wall-E. I mean, that’s what they act like they want to do.

*

Mama: There is no other industry in the world that gives itself more awards than the Entertainment Industry. They need to stroke their egos. They need to stroke themselves.

Woot! Milk! I know Nana is happy.

Daddy’s Oscar Predictions:

Best Supporting Actor- Heath Ledger

Nana’s Oscar Predictions

Best Supporting Actor- Heath Ledger

Slum Dog Millionaire wins the rest!

*

SLUM DOG MILLIONAIRE WINS BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY! WOOOT! SO FAR NANA & I WIN!

obviously Benjamin Button couldn’t have won this category. They changed the short story so much there was no way that they could have won this category.

*

Everyone is up Wall-E’s ass.

*

La maison en petits cubes- Domo Aragato Mr. Roboto! That dude was hilarious! Also, nice pronunciation, Jack Black.

*

Sarah Jessica Parker tripped a little bit on the way up? Or Daniel Craig trod on her dress?

*

I really dislike Brad Pitt. I mean, i LOVE Se7en and i LOVE Fight Club, But I do not think that he is that good at acting.

*

RPattz is pesenting.

*

Why is Twilight included in an Academy Awards video-thingy?

*

Always with the coldplay! Alison and Kyla know how I feel about that.

*

(Keep in mind that I hate it when Kyla keeps me updated on her bathroom schedule) But I REALLY HAVE TO PEE! HOWEVER, I can’t leave because the commercials always rock my socks off!

*

BEN STILLER SO FUNNY! SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE IS A WINNER, AGAIN! SCEW YOU, BENJAMIN BUTTON!

*

Poor Jessica Biel. No one laughed at her jokes

*

Love Seth Rogen.

*

ANOTHER musical number. This isn’t the Tonys! Thankfully, Beysus is here. OOOh and Zach Efron & Vanessa Hudgens.  And everry person who has been in a musical-turned-movie this year.

*

You know that this is the first time Cuba Gooding, Jr has been a stones throw away from any sort of “Academy Function” since Snow Dogs.

They had to have a black guy talk about Robert Downey, Jr’s nomination. Plus, they both are juniors!

Let’s see if everyone’s Best Supporting Actor prediction wins! HEATH LEDGER WINS! Least surprising win ever. I TOLD MY DAD THAT HIS FAMILY WOULD ACCEPT THE AWARD!

Though, it would have been hilarious if RBJr had won.

*

Love that French Guy! He should have hosted!

*

WHAT THE FUCK I HATE MONTAGES.

BB wins another useless award. No offense intended to the people who made a seventeen-page short story into a 2 1/2 hour snoozer.

*

Every single person who worked on slumdog millionaire and was nominated (so basically every single crew member) should get to sit in the front of the fucking theatre. They shouldn’t have to run like a couple of olympians to accept their awards.

SLUM DOG MILLIONAIRE WINS FOR EDITING! CHILL AS SHIATSU!

A Note on Alison

We are currently in the middle of a band meeting, but I just wanted to share something about Alison’s progress on the drum set.  She has been spending hours practicing on Guitar Hero World Tour, and it is definitely showing.  Her drum skills are amazing, and she is doing an awesome job tonight.  Let’s all give her a great big round of applause!!!  I have to say that all of our music, even the songs we have had since two summers ago, sound so amazing now and Alison’s confidence is shining through, as well as her new haircut.  That is all.

Au Revoir,

Kyla

PS I am very excitied because I’m borrowing a saxophone tomorrow, and I can’t wait for it to make an appearance in some sonngssssss!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Vinca!

About 1 year ago, a dear pup joined my family. When Vinca came to us, she was called “Princess” and was completely insane. She had severe separation anxiety and would go batshit insane whenever we left her. However, after an entire year’s training, I can honestly say that she has turned her behavior completely around. She may be stinky and weird, but she is my stinky weirdo. And I will forever treasure my moments with her: from the kicks, scratches, smellyness, and horrible behavior to the puppy smiles, big-dog barks, and fluffy hair. She is my Vink, and I love her ever so much for it.

Google Verb Game

I found this on youtube and I wanted to try it, but since I don’t have a vlog (sadly) I decided to post it on here.

Basically you just google your name with a verb, and you find out what you did!  I’ll record my favorite three for each verb.

Kyla needs

…a new diamond necklace

…to get back to reality

…to send the folks at southwest airlines a lovely thank you note

Kyla looks like

…a champ

…a very mannish transvestite

…a healthy 9-year-old girl, except for a fuzzy patch of hair that had to be shaved for surgery

Kyla says

…yes, she was wearing panties (this was the same Kyla who needs to send a thank you to southwest)

…”I did not want this”

…”I can’t play basketball at all” (very true)

Kyla wants

…breakfast! (also usually true)

…to display educated, classy, and driven ladies

…a bottle from her nanna!

Kyla does

…soulja boy at homecoming

…have a little trouble sitting still

…does know her mother was shocked to find out she was pregnant for the fifth time with Kyla

Kyla hates

…green (never true)

…Lindsay Lohan (true)

…swirling mists and air elementals (what?)

Kyla aska

…Aiden who’s a better kisser while he’s kissing Ashley

…a special question

…where are we going, mommy?

Kyla likes

…to eat cereal (sooooo true)

…to touch them, even though I constantly tell her not to

…her GUESS denim jeans dress today though it’s hot

Kyla was arrested for

…wearing her pants too low

…smoking on a plane

…attempting murder

Perez Hilton

Kyla will tell you that yes, I am obsessed with Perez Hilton’s website. I don’t know why, I just love to be up on the celebrity news and do not really feel compelled to buy those trashy magazines in the supermarket check-out line. It’s fast, easy, and free to check Hilton’s website. However, that does NOT mean that I like Perez as a person.

Perez seems like the person in High School who no one liked because of his obnoxious, loud, and overbearing personality. I truly believe that I could never sit down and have a conversation with him because he is so set in his beliefs; something that I cannot stand. I mean, yes, I’m pro-abortion, but I can see how people might be upset by this.

Case in point, Perez is obsessed with ‘outing’ celebrities. That is to say, if a celebrity is a closeted homosexual, Perez delights in insinuating that they are gay or going straight out and saying that the person is gay. Perez says that as a journalist, he feels it incumbent upon himself to report the news, and to him, reporting who is gay or not is an integral part of the news. Says Hilton,”I don’t think it’s a bad thing. If you know something to be a fact, why not report it? Why is that still taboo?”

First things first: I cannot explain why there is still a taboo against gays in the entertainment community, but there is one. It isn’t going to help the situation to just start outing people left, right, and center! In fact, doing so might aggravate the situation because even if the celebrities who have been outed agree and say, “Yes, I’m gay,” they will not be as likely to help the gay community that slighted them.

Hilton further argues that real news networks report on straight relationships, why shouldn’t he be able to report on gay relationships? There are so many things wrong with this statements. A fear that some fat, lonely blogger buried away in L.A. will out you for millions to see can definitely drive closeted gay people further into the closet than before. Furthermore, this is the same “journalist” who blogs regularly about “what a slut Miley Cyrus is,” and which stars are rumored to be using botox. Not only are most of his “reports” just that, rumors, but they are continually peppered with a liberal serving of bias, something that a majority of news providers try to stray away from with the help of a 9-foot pole. Trying to keep yourself to “journalist” levels on one end of your reporting, and then sleezy MEAN tabloid levels on the other is stupid, and therefore any “printing the facts” excuse is negated. You cannot trust Perez Hilton to deliver the straight facts and information without any bias or opinion. Comparing himself to the Matt Lauers and Katie Courics of the world is terrible insult to the craft of conveying news that is Journalism.

Hilton acts like he’s secure enough in his sexuality to talk about how he is gay; but he certainly is not secure enough with himself as a PERSON not to name call from behind the safety of his computer in Hollywood. I’d like to see him name call to these people’s faces!

So please realize, Perez Hilton, your outing of celebrities is nothing more than some old-fashioned MEANNESS!

Skunks

Alex: If I were to have a skunk, I remove the thing that makes it stinky.
Kyla: But that removes the thing that makes it a skunk.
Alex: I wouldn’t want it going around my house stinking up the place.
Kyla: And that’s the reason why you don’t have a skunk.
Alex: I don’t think that’s THE reason why I don’t have a skunk.

Radio-WHAT?

Don’t get me wrong, “Creep” by Radiohead is a pretty cool.

But do you think the reason why he’s such a creep is that no one can understand what the fuck he’s saying?

“Ricky Gervais is Full of Himself”

Was reading Ricky Gervais’s Blog, and found this little gem of an entry.

During an interview in America recently the subject came up about me ad libbing in all my film roles and what it’s like for me not being in charge as usually I write and direct myself.

I explained that I’m usually taken on with that remit and I said that directors usually hire me knowing that I will bring something to the role. I said, “If they wanted someone to stand where they’re told and just say the lines as they’re written in the script then they should chose any other actor to do that.”

Obviously that was taken out of context by an english news site. i wont embarrass them as they are going to right the wrong, but this is the headline they went with. “Gervais admits he is the worst actor in Hollywood” Gervais admits he is the worst actor in Hollywood Brilliant. The thing that annoys me is this. They know exactly what they are doing. It’s not a mistake. It’s deliberate. The world would be a different place if things had always been like this.

Martin Luther King – “I have a dream.”
TheDailyShit.com – “Lazy black man always sleeping”

Jesus Christ – “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
WeeklyRumour.co.uk – “Scruffy Jew starts riot”

Elizabeth I – “I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king.”
InternetCuntWhoCan’tGetArealJob.Net – “Scrawny cannibal lezzer eats own father”

Can’t wait for tomorrow’s headlines… Gervais says he’s as misunderstood as Dr. King. Virgin Queen and Son Of God.

What did you do on your birthday and how old did you turn?
I turned 17 and I think my b-day was on a Friday or somemat. Umm…My friends brought me in some balloons, wonderful gifts, and a cake shaped like a golden snitch (chill as shit). Later that night, we had a sleepover at my house and we ate late night cake and enchiladas. Also watched Se7en, my favorite movie, and it scared the shit out of everyone. At like 3 am, went to sleep whilst watching Zoolander. That Sunday afterwords, went on a cruise with orchestra. A pretty chill birthday, I’d say!

Definitely Warner’s Brothers not being greedy little bastards. Also, not everyone being so obsessed with Twilight.

Red velvet cake. Or like any of the food in Quebec. Especially Poutine.

What was the most valuable lesson you learned in 2008?
“They say it all started out with a big bang. But, what I wonder is, was it a big bang or did it just seem big because there wasn’t anything else drown it out at the time?” – Karl Pilkington

The year is almost over!!

I found this online. Alex, if you see this, you should do one too. I doubt Alison will visit the site, so I won’t worry about her.

What did you do in 2008 that you’ve never done before?
I went to Disney World!!!!

O’Bama?

Who is this Irishman everyone is talking about?

O

Halloween: 28 Days Later

Because I’m awesomely cool, I spent Halloween

a) doing some last minute pumpkin carving

b) studying for the SAT

c) watching 28 Days Later while studying for the SAT

d) All of the above

I’m so freaking chill that I stayed in and watched 28 Days Later. I’m a notorious plot spoiler, on myself I mean (I like to look up the plots of movies before I see them), so what happened didn’t really surprise me. What did surprise me was how supremely RAD it was. Super excellent. Other things that didn’t surprise me? How hot Cillian Murphy is. A primo fox.

Kyla can have all the Irish boys she wants except for this one. CILLIAN IS MINE!

Alex, this made my day.  I just had to put it somewhere, and making it my computer wallpaper wasn’t enough.

Night of Partyin’ and Plunderin’

obama-mccain-debate3

Party at Jeanette’s house.

…

so i finally got around to reading breaking dawn and im disappointed that there wasnt a fight.

Hogwarts?

Or 24 hour study room at Boston College?

Renes…what?

Finished Breaking Dawn today. FINALLY. I felt like I was taking FOREVER (Alex will certainly agree) and my brother kept saying things like, “You only that far? I’m disappointed in you. If this was Harry Potter…” Well that’s just the thing isn’t it? It’s not Harry Potter. But, while I still get extremely angry whenever I see something in the press that talks about how Twilight and HP are so similar, I will agree that Stephenie Meyer and JK Rowling do have one thing in common:

They can not name their characters.

Albus Severus? Scorpius? RENESMEE? What is that? Not a name, that’s for sure.

So I probably shouldn’t say anything else in case Pattie hasn’t read it yet. Maybe I’ll add more tomorrow. But I will say that it was good. I enjoyed it. And in my opinion it fits right in with the other three books, so everyone SHUT UP with the fan fiction crap. As the author, she can not write fan fiction. Whatever she says goes. Sure there were things that bothered me, but whatever. It’s only Twilight, I’ll deal with it. I won’t stress.

It’s not like it’s Harry Potter…

Oh, and Alison is psychic.

Happy reading!

Kyla

say what?

i just returned from camp and i must say that my liking of harry potter has dimished some because of a horrible bus ride experience. let’s see, it was thursday night and we were on our way back from the boardwalk to salisbury u. and there weren’t enough seats left in the front. so me and this other girl had to go sit in the back seat right next to lavatory and behind the loud obnoxious slut group. not only did they play a disgusting game of truth or dare where i believe one girl flashed her butt, they played “the nervous game” where a guy basically touches the girl in awkward places. and they (the girls) kept asking the guys to try again. how wrong is that? anyway, the point of this all is that one of the guys kept yelling “expelliarmus!” and pointing his finger at people. including me. and i think he threw in a “wingardium leviosa” at some point. so now whenever i think of harry potter and spells i think of those disgusting people. blech.

Paintjam!!

So this is pretty amazing.

Let’s put a smile on that face!

Just so you know, the Dark Knight was the chillest effing movie that has ever been created.

Anyone who says differently needs to be castrated, tarred, and then feathered. As we all know, The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules.

Christian Bale is the pimpest fucking dude.

alright then…

i absolutely agree with alex that everything edward says sounds silly out loud. and that’s probably because he spent 90 years trying to come up with good pick up lines. i just finished reading eclipse and i still think that jacob is better than edward. but all i have to say right now is that bella is incredibly stupid, so she’s actually not worthy of jacob OR edward. since alex quoted a quote, here’s my quote: (edward speaking to bella) “The way you regard me is ludicrous” (Eclipse p413). he’s right because all she is is obsessed  with his physical being and beauty. i still can’t get over the part where she keeps trying to have sex with him. i mean, come on, seriously? thats totally unnecessary and possibly inappropriate for this kind of book…

harry potter is way better than twilight.

Decorating the School

There have been some strange posters circulating around school… They look like this:

I think we’ll be haning up this poster next:

And…

Dear Alison,

I never said that your feet were dirty, but I am very glad to hear that you are having them cleaned every day by our pianist. This makes me extremely relieved. Much appreciated. There is a dinosaur at my window now, I must answer to it.

Sincerely,

Esteban

P.S. Alex, I never called myself a grammar nazi. You gave me that title.

I guess it’s about time I stopped rocking out on the courts and posted…

So i finally, finally watched the notebook for the first time ever. And i have decided that facial hair, though unruly and ape-like, CAN be attractive. That is all.

 

Pattie aka Chocolate Chip

Burrriittoooooooo

Burrito, burrito, burrito, burrito,

burrrriiittoooooooo

I just met a food named burritoooooooo

And suddenly the food will never be the same to meeeee

Qdobbaaaaaaaaa

I just kissed a restaurant named Qdoba!!!!

Alright, enough of that. Alex and Kyla had a good time eating Qdoba on the porch. It was fascinating.

And we have a new band. It’s called “Kyla and the @$$ F#&%$”  I don’t know why that’s so funny

So we started to write this blog post together, but then Alex got a phone call that Vinca had pooed so I drove her home because her brother doesn’t know how to clean up poo.  And now I’m stuck here until 4:30 when I leave for my brother’s graduation.  Alison is also at her brother’s graduation, and Sarah’s there too, singing.  Pattie’s rocking out on the tennis courts.

Alex mentioned in her post yesterday that we wrote a letter to Mugglecast, and because I’m suprer bored now and have nothing else to write about, here it is:

Hey Andrew,
Alexandra (17) and Kyla (17) here.  We just wanted to inform you that every time you say “If I was a betting man” you are saying it INCORRECTLY!!!  The correct grammar is “If I were a betting man.”
Thank you, and have a day.  Not a good day, just a day.  But I hope it goes swimmingly.
Greetings from Ellicott City, Maryland, and we really hope that you all come to Baltimore on tour sometime because we have never had the opportunity to see you in “concert.”  If you’d like an opening act, we would be happy to oblige. We’re in the biggest and baddest wizard rock band that has ever hit the mean streets of suburban Howard County.

Also, you guys have been discussing the Twilight series a lot during the show. We both have read those novels, and agree that they are really nice books to read. However, we strongly believe that Twilight cannot even really compare with the Harry Potter series. It’s like they are on two different levels. It’s a nice story that we literally have talked about for HOURS, but it has hardly any literary value. There is no depth to the story, and sometimes it seems as though it was written by a writer for Teen People or something. It’s fun to read, but there are  no similarities on a literary level.

One final grammar lesson for the day:
If you are finished with something, you must say that you are “finished”.  Not “done”.  Done is for meat. Finished is for people. And if we were betting men, we would bet that you are not a piece of meat. Except Jamie.  And Micah.

Very sincerely yours,
Kyla M and Alex G

Beard, No Beard

I’m wondering if Alex will be mad when she sees that I changed the design and put a very large picture of her at the top of the whole site…

kyla?

Welcome, Madame Callender and Madame Doff!!

Enjoy…
