Black Friday (it's too early, I know)

So in one of my classes in school we have to read Get Real by Mara Rockliff and there was this little "fun" fact in it saying "On Thanksgiving Day, Americans sit down at their tables and give thanks for what they have. Then the next day, they rush out and grab more. Sometimes the bargin-hunting frenzy spins out of control--as in 2008, when overeager shoppers stormed a Wal-Mart on Long Island, smashing the glass doors ans trampling a store employee." Not that there's anything wrong with black friday shopping (by the way, I think the employee died after that). But next time people, please don't kill anyone.

A Day at Work: Episode 4&5

After a 3-moth hiatus, we're back with A Day At Work! The top one is ADAW 4, and the bottom one is ADAW 5. Enjoy! Oh, and if you missed the other ones, you can find them here.

I can't think of a title again...



What IS gobo root, anyway?


 OK, so there is this stupid bag sitting in my basement with a bunch of old sheets in it...not that it bothers me, it just bothers me what the bag says on it: "gobo root, vienna sausages & oreos: everything you didn't know you needed."

Isn't that last line doing the opposite of what they're trying to do? If you didn't know you needed it, then you don't need it, and you're not gonna buy it! (Although I could use some oreos...)

GameInformer & Pokemon

So yesterday I got my monthly GameInformer (GI) in the mail, and this month, there was somthing about a bunch of video game things that have died. One of them was Pokemon (I don't have the mag right next to me currently, because its in the car, which is at the grocery store). But anyway what it said was a bunch of stuff  like why Pokemon is terrible and needs to DIE (I have to capitalize DIE; see here to find out why). Theres a gazillion things wrong with Pokemon, just like theres a million things wrong with Navi (Link's best friend, my foot). Pokemon used to be fun, but now it's just sad if anyone (at least where I live) sees that I'm playing pokemon. They laugh in my face. Even if they used to think it was the coolest thing. Pokemon lost just about everything right around the FireRed and LeafGreen (Why didn't they make it WaterBlue or somthing). Except for the Pokemon Adventures books. Those are EPIC!  But anyway, here are a bunch of things I remember from the article:

1. Somthing like "We hate our children. thats why we let them play pokemon" (Please note this is not the sentence word for word, I'll fix it after I get my hands back on the magazine)
2. Something like an analogy between Skittles and the names of the games.
3. Somthing about how the games just weren't enough; they had to spawn a TV show (which I agree is horrible) too.

Ugh, I can't remember any more. I'll write more later. Back to my point about writing this. I play Pokemon, and not because its Pokemon; it's just so fun! I've never played a more fun RPG game, and the new versions are looking pretty sweet, (please don't be a waste of money, please don't be a waste of money) I can't decide between getting the black or white version. Help me decide! Now, on GameStop.com, you can write a "Preveiw Buzz", which I would want to write, but I'm too young. Oh well.
If this post made any sense to you, you're either a nerd, or read this over and over like, 50 times.

For the Love of Snapple...

The Great Pumpkin

As some of you may already know, the new Poptropica island opened for everyone today. The new island, Great Pumpkin Island, stars everyone's favorite beagle and all of his friends. I would have finished it with my epicness and shared some screenshots of it with you, but do to some kind of a glitch, nobody can log in. Also, the site keeps going down for maintainence. When it comes back up, we STILL can't log in. I did, however, find a way around it for a short period of time: When it shows the main screen, select "New Member". The only problem is you can't save it. Maybe it will be fixed tomorrow.

UPDATE @ 8:12 PM: I got back on with a temporary charactor, so here are a few pics. You still can't log in though...
UPDATE @ 8:35 AM FRIDAY: You can occasionally log on now,  but the site keeps undergoing periods of maintainence.
UPDATE @ 9:35 AM 10/20: It is fixed.

Somebody Sure is happy...

"You killed it!"



Yes he does, silly!

This reminds me of an old game I used to play on a floppy disc when I was little...

Pointlessness

A little bit of pointless stories for you...yeah, I'm just stuffing it all into one post.

For you people who own Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver, you can receive a Mew via Wi-fi Mystery Gift. However, it's only level 5. And only knows Pound as a move. But it's a Mew, so that's fine.

Monday night there was this HUGE thunderstorm, and around 4:30 AM, there was this really really REALLY loud clap of thunder. It basicly sounded like someone was bombing our house. My one friend wrote on Facebook that his whole house shook.

Yesterday we were all hanging around outside my house and some guy who knows my other friend asked him where he lived, and my friend says "That house" So then I say, and I was joking, "The purple one" And then the guy thinks that my friend lives in a house that has purple shutters and a purple door. I'm waiting for him to go knock on it asking for Tyler. That would be funny...

...

I should be telling you happy Columbus Day, but instead I have a question: What makes Columbus so important??? I mean, the Vikings found America first anyway, so why should some guy who never learned about vikings, (because otherwise he wouldn't have been stupid enough to think he could get to India by sailing all around the world) take all the credit? So, unlike the rest of the human population, I'm celebrating Viking Day today. Comment on my post If you would like to join me.

HAPPY VIKING DAY!!!

You get hurt by playing video games?

Read this--- Study Says: A Lot of Dudes Hurt Themselves Playing Games
The article was sorta funny, but read what people have to say about it in the comments! My neighbor threw his PS3 controller at his wall once when he got mad, but all that resulted was a broken controller. Or was it.....
Ooooooooo! Suspense!

Question of the week

We're back by popular demand! Here's the question of the week:
"This question is sorta popular: If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?"
The winner is..... ~SoxPaws~ again! The answer was:

"I would....
1. Donate some to those who need it
2. Buy a lot of stuff
3. Use it for good, not evil :3"
 
Thanks again ~SoxPaws~! This week, we're going to ask you this: "What is the funniest name for a place you ever heard?" I have a teacher who used to live in a place called Townville.
Reamember the screen name rule, and keep on answering! Lets see at least two answers this week!

randome notes of DOOM (no, not really)

Okay peeps, I'm back.
Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs launches today... This one better be hard, or else. And it better not be a waste of $35 like some other game I could mention (Spirit Tracks, I'm looking at you).
Yeah, I had fun at Disney World. I died,like, eight times, but I'm still here. Stupid dinosaurs!
