Laika!-Book Talk

Laika is the story of the first (and Russian) dog to orbit the earth. Much of this book is fictionalized as we don't exactly know Laika's origins, but this book places Laika as a captured stray, who is placed into the soviet space program. This book is a graphic novel, and some of the illustrations can be quite odd. Laika is a sad story and anyone who has issues with animals dying (not graphically) might want to be a little careful.

Book Talk- Will to Live

Will to Live
Les Stroud

Will to Live is a collection of survival stories, which are narrated and judged by Les Stroud, host of the TV show Survivorman. The stories range from being lost in the jungle, to being stuck at sea, although some more stories would have been nice. quite a few of the stories are rather graphic, so I would recommend this, as long as you can withstand a little bit of gross-ness.

Book Talk! - "Confessions of a Murder Suspect

Confessions of a Murder Suspect is bad. it is straight-up bad. All the dialogue is robotic, the story and event boring and unfulfilling. However, there is a way to make this book good, if not great. This involves replacing the main character, a teenage girl with the wrestler "Macho Man" Randy Savage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage). This make the book so much better and so hilarious. Now onto the actual book's plot. Tandy Angel is a smart teenage girl of the incredibly rich Angel family, consisting of the parents, Malcolm and Maud, Tandy's twin brother Harry, her younger brother Hugo, and her older brother Matthew. Everything is normal until one night their parents are murder, and the Angel family is the biggest suspect. I really would not recommend this book, unless you want to laugh at how bad it is.

31/31 March Thing! - Bad Days

Everyone has bad days, but I fell I have been having quite a few of the recently. They are mainly caused by me being super tired and procrastination on work. I feel like I cause my own bad days and then that makes me feel worse for wondering why I do this to myself. I guess I just need to get my stuff together, but so much has been going on lately, like the play, my dad moving, and more personal stuff.

I think everyone has bad days, but I'm not sure, so let me know, if anyone reads this. I bet no one will so... Anyway I feel like I shouldn't be doing so bad, but I do it anyway. reading everyone else's slices makes me feel like crap because they are well written or quite a bit longer than mine. Sorry for such a schizophrenic post, I just can't make my brain have any sense.

[30/31] March Thing! Aftermath of Building A Computer

Building a computer has increased my self confidence a lot. it seems like it wouldn't but then I am using and then I realize that I built that, and it works. How many other people can say that? Other than self confidence It has made it slightly more difficult to go play homework and such. I think that might be a thing thing to manage in the future, but I think I can handle it.

If you could build a computer and you had all the money you needed would you build one? Let me know!

[29/30] March Thing!-Lazy Days

Lazy days are great. days where you just sit around and do absolutely nothing are fantastic, as long as you dont have too many of them. Having too many can be problematic because of little things likehomework or family, but what can you do? Another problem can be a little phrase called "everything in moderation," which if you have not heard it means that too much of anything is bad. Even things like dessert or lazy days. What do you do on your lazy days? let me know!

[29/31]March Thing! Having Two Houses

Living in two houses can be really annoying. It adds yet another way to lose things, if something you need is at one house and you are at the other, you can't always go and get that thing and so you are stuck without it. My parents have been divorced since about 2007 and have lived in separate houses since then. I have gotten used to it but I still sometime leave crucial things at the other house like my phone or my keys.

I wonder what it is like having one house is like because I don't remember that time too well. It does help to have a laptop to take between houses, and I have made a lot of progress, but remembering things like ultimate gear, and others can be hard.

[28/31] March Thing!-Music

I like music. Music to me is very important. it helps me focus, it helps me relax, I don't think I could continue without music. My music tastes have changed a lot over the years. from classical to electronic. I don't quite understand why humans love music, but most people do. I find the variety of music and genres interesting, just because peoples tastes are so wide.

What kind of music do you listen to? Does music hep you focus? Let me know!
