Oh What Fun it is to Bowl...

Bowling today....pretty crazy.
As I said before, my back issues will affect my bowling. 
Today, they did. 
I only practiced for about 45 minutes, then sat out the rest of the time. While sitting out, I watched the boys team scrimmage against a team from Illinois...a team that just so happens to be coached by a reporter from the Post-Tribune. 
Since I had my reporter's notebook with me (long story why), I decided I should write a story about this scrimmage. 
I didn't want to be too creepy, so I didn't talk to him until the match was over. I went to ask him for a few scores....then kind of worked www.lakecentralnews.com/ right into the conversation.
He'll be checking it out sometime. 
Success for LC Publications? I sure hope so :)


But my back......headaches have decreased a little, but my back has been in pain for weeks. I didn't even bowl at practice on Tuesday, but today I sucked it up for 45 minutes. 


So bowling.....so much fun :D

To the Chiropractor!

So.....
After receiving some advice from a bowling friend who has headaches like mine, I took a trip to the chiropractor.


Well: 
This is a normal neck X-ray. 

Typically, people who get headaches like mine have no curve there. I, however, have the opposite. The blue shows the normal curve. My neck is more like the red curve--it starts normal, but comes back....mind you, this neck was from Google Images, and I made those lines myself. That's not exactly how my back goes, just sort of. 

So along with my wrongly-curved neck, I also have a possible case of scoliosis!


Oh, and my wisdom teeth are going to come in crooked....the things an x-ray can reveal....


So yeah, I'm seeing the chiropractor twice a week now, and yes, this probably will affect my bowling. 


But as long as this fixes my ridiculous headaches, I suppose I should be happy.


Ok....I actually have a lot to do, but one of my journalism-nerd friends said something about his blog, so I thought I should blog. 


Well....back to researching for Speech. 


Loving Chiropractors,

Bowling, School, and Headaches

Well.....bowling this year has gone better, yet way worse than planned.


High School bowling has gone quite well. I actually have been put in 2 Varsity matches (started in one!) and 1 Varsity Tournament...not the only sophomore on JV that time :/


However, in my Saturday Youth League....bad things. 
In the last 3 weeks, I've only been averaging about 138...which is TERRIBLE for me. 


In other news, I like Chemistry this year more than last year's Biology.....but I have a B! 
I have a B! How? 
Well let's see.........got 3 D quizzes in a row.....then an 87 on the test.
Really? 
I studied my freaking butt off for that test, and the quiz before that I also studied for, yeah that was an 85, too. 
Seriously? 
Why can't reality live up to my expectations? I EXPECTED to get an A for the quarter in Chemistry...yeah that didn't happen, and neither did an A- in English.
And all my family members are like "You're a journalism major!" (Because they still think that high school has majors) "How can you have a B in English!?!"
Well, we read and do comprehension quizzes...and I have really crappy comprehension skills. I just do.
Which leads to my next issue, my headaches. 
WHY ARE THEY HERE?
No problem with my eyes, and the doctor doesn't think it's sinuses. She told me I have to change my diet dramatically, which I've done. She told me to go to bed at 10, which I've only done a few times because of my homework amounts. 
Guess how many days I've gone without a headache since I saw the doctor?
0.
Yeah...nothing is helping.
Which kind of makes me think I have a serious problem. My mind has trouble comprehending things now, and I have these headaches all the time. 
I don't really know what's wrong, but I want it fixed like, now. 


Loving weekends,

Yeah....I've changed my name to Jamie now. I'm still a bowler, but now the Internet can know me as Jamie the Bowler....
in case anyone actually reads this blog anymore... 

My Intro Blog :)

So all my little intro friends are like I GOT A BLOG NOW LOL.

I miss my intro blog.....I think I really need to continue it through high school.

Sophomore year....yay?

I love Publications and other such things :)

I think I'm going to post this in Helvetica to make it official.
Ok......bye now.
I WILL BE BACK.

Back From Ball State!

Yep. Blogging in the summer. 


So yesterday, after nearly 5 hours on the road, and an hour in the heat just going 12 miles. 
But you know, that bridge over I-65 really needed painting....
:P
So anyways,
Journalism Camp was amazing!! 
I really learned a lot about writing, and spent some great time with the staff.
But of course now, i have that whole issue of "crap, now i want to go to Ball State" sloshing around in my head (that was a great verb, wasn't it?)


i don't want to do my summer reading...just saying.


Loving fish,
-bowler :)

Oh...Hello there...

lookie here...I have a blog!


So uh...hey guys.
I just read through every post. And I was in the glorious S110 today, so I now feel the need to blog.


Well. 
Notre Dame = amazing!!! I got to go into the stadium, locker room, and press box! It was truly amazing.


Sox game with my uncle.....pathetic.


Ball State...Sunday!!!! 


Um, I really should have more to blog about. But really, I think maybe 2 or 3 people are still logging in....lol probably none besides me. 


so yeah.....


Loving summer,

Who's going to continue to blog over the summer? Well...that's me I guess :)

Hello summer!
Goodbye freshman year! 


So tonight to officially kick off my summer, I went to my town's summer fest :) I had a lot of fun with my friends and it was pretty great.
And we watched fireworks, too, which I loved <3


This summer will be great.
I just know it.


Only 14 days 'till I go to Notre Dame! I'm so excited!!


Loving summer,
-bowler :)

I love Intro Part 2

Ok, so I already established that I love journalism, so I'll follow Wad's specifications this time around...

So this year was pretty amazing :)
I loved intro to journalism....so much....
I really feel like this class made me so much better and got me ready for publications next year :)


I loved having both VP and Wad.....you both are great teachers in your own special way....I really can't/won't choose a favorite...


This summer, I'll be going to Notre Dame for a week and I am SUPER SUPER SUPER excited because I went last year and this year will just be amazing!! Then I'm going to a Sox game with my uncle like I do every year--our uncle-niece bonding time :)  Then in July I'll be headed to Ball State for a week for a JOURNALISM workshop :D


This summer will be amazing....


Loving intro,
-bowler :)

I love intro to journalism!!

So yes, I do :D
It was a great class.....curriculum wise...
and the teacher(s)....well.....love you both!!

I think I might miss this class....
but not kevin.
or jordan.

Yeah, I'm mean.

But at least I get to upgrade from Intro to SQUIVER!~~~~

But I'm kinda scared..... :/

Well....yeah that's about it...

I SURVIVED THE BIOLOGY ECA

I DESERVE A T-SHIRT.
I SURVIVED IT
I SURVIVED THE BIOLOGY CORE 40 ECA.
My life is good.


Too bad I wasted my good life and gave up about 3 hours of sleep to do a study guide that was nearly irrelevant to the actual test :P


But you know what,
Thank god I survived/passed it.


Loving my new found end-of-semester confidence,
-bowler:)

1:17 AM

Yeah. It's past 1 AM.
Guess what I'm doing?


MY BIOLOGY CORE 40 REVIEW.


Guess when my Core 40 is.


9 HOURS FROM NOW.


I'm not even done with this God awful packet (sorry, that's just the only term that fits the description). It's over 50 pages and we have to finish all...I don't know...1000 questions on here? 
I can't take it anymore.
My brain seriously cannot function at all.
And I'm only going to get 4 hours of sleep.
Cool.


So, I probably will either die or have a major panic attack tomorrow, so I don't know when I'll be blogging next. 
I really, truly think that I am going to fail this.
I mean really, why am I responsible for doing 2 semesters' worth of reviewing in a WEEK,  and then be expected to pass a test on it. OH. And there's about 50+ questions on the REVIEW with terms I literally have NEVER heard in my life! EVER!
That is not at all fair that I have to know this and if I miss it "you know, it's only one question"
Yeah. One plus one is two. One plus two is three. Eventually those numbers add up to failure.


But hey, I'm just a kid with a blog. What does my opinion matter?

My first job

I officially now have a job!
I'm quite happy.


I work for the catering company that does everything at my church, and then some.
Tonight was my first night!


It was a wedding, and it was really cool. 
The bride's dress was GORGEOUS, and so were the bridesmaids' dresses.


It was pretty cool. The DJ played really good music, so I at least had something good going while I was working. 
BUT I'm not really sure when I'm getting paid.....
that's the problem with my job.
It's like, I only have to work when she needs me to and I don't always know when that will happen :/
So yeah, don't know when I'll ever see my $6 an hour...


Um....yeah that's about it. 


Loving work,

Time to Rant

I am SO sick of competition.
It's really starting to bring out the worst in not only my friends, but also me.


Competition is horrible.
End of story.


I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate it. 
And yes, I typed each one of those out individually. No Copy/Paste.


Anyways. 
Competition is really getting to me. 
I just want to quit it all.
Quit school.
Quit bowling.
(I don't care who sees this) quit journalism.
Yes. Competition is getting to me that badly that I almost want to quit at it. 
I just can't take it. 
I really truly can not take any more competition.


Don't get me wrong, I'm not quitting journalism. I love journalism. 
But competition makes it so much worse--it makes everything so much worse. 
Competition makes me want to give up and not even try because I don't want to let myself down, which I tend to do.
But no. I will try. Because I...I....I'm going to try because I am going to try!
Because from day 1 of my bowling commitment, day 1 of preschool, and that very first day of my life when I realized that journalism was my thing, those days of commitments put me into a catch 22.
I can't quit any of these things because I'll regret it .
But I probably will still regret staying with them because of the stress brought with the competition. 
I really have basically no solution that will fully benefit me.
But hey, that's what life is for, right? To let you realize that nothing goes right or as planned?
Yeah. I think that's it.


Loving journalism,

Hello World

Ok, I know I have made that the title of a lot of posts, but whatever.


I don't really know what to blog about. I just feel the need to blog.


Oh hey, the Bulls are gonna play against the Heat. Didn't know that 'til now. 
That's cool. 
Anyways....
I guess since school has been on my mind a lot lately, how about some updates!


French: Harder this semester....but I think I got this...
Pool: Still need to make up my mile. Otherwise, not a hard class, just a pain with the swimmers' ear.
Biology: aiodhfau9sfjinothingmakessenseatallihatebiologywuhfijfufksjlfafkjfjhsfnfeifetkagta
English: reading The Catcher in the Rye now. It's a really good book so far. Too bad J.D. Salinger doesn't seem to realize that teenagers don't add (oh my god I'm going to swear on my school blog) "goddamn" in the front of every. single. (goddamn) word.
Geometry: Also easier this semester. And now I'm actually taking my time on my quizzes/tests!
World History: yawnnnnnnnnn. Oh, and it's called the Armenian Genocide...not massacre. 
Intro: Final time.


Yeah. That's school.

My little iTunes spree

Ok, so I just finished a little iTunes downloading spree. 
Money spent: $0.


I just downloaded about 8 free courses with about 10-15 parts to each course. All from Notre Dame and Yale.
Once I have time to go through them, I will be happy.


Earlier today, though, I went out to ear with my grandma for her birthday.
It was quite nice, until I realized that I ate just a little too much and felt horrible. 
But then on the way out, I saw my 8th grade gym teacher. It was also quite nice to see her, until I realized that I've probably gained about 10 pounds since I last saw her about 11 months ago.
Any other teacher, I wouldn't have cared...but a Physical Education teacher..... :P 
And she was my health teacher in 7th grade, so I almost feel like I failed her.
OH MY GOD TIME FOR A MENTAL BREAKTHROUGH.
I know none of you want to know about it, and I know at least one of you (not naming names) will read it out loud to the class. So yeah, 
Time to think....

WHY IS IT SO HOT OUT!?!?!?!

IT IS 86 DEGREES OUT.

But I still walked to Subway and the park....

Freshman Plays: Wrapped up for 2011

So tonight was the 2nd of 2 performances of the freshman shows :)
Tonight was just great.
It was so much fun to feel like I at least sort of belonged there. 
My mom actually came for me :) It made me happy to actually see her there. 
A lot of my friends that I haven't seen in a long time came, too. It was great.
Even my 6th grade science teacher was there! It was great to see her again


But it was sad, too. 
For 2 of my 3 directors, it's their last LCTC production because they're graduating. It was so upsetting to see them both upset and a bunch of the people crying....I actually held myself together a little bit haha.


But I think I might cry because SOMEBODY didn't come. And that saddens me :(


But whatever....I'm still happy that I've had this experience....
I've loved it all.


Loving LC Theatre Company,
-bowler :)

Play tonight!!

So tonight, I shall be making my acting debut as the police officer in LC's freshman shows!
I'm excited.
I get to walk around all awesome and stuff and pretend to be a police officer...even though I look like a Nazi.....

So aside from that, I'm really happy with my grades.
I have 4 A's and  2 A-'s this quarter. I do have a B, but my teacher just needs to put in my 100% quiz and the test we just took, and I'll be up to probably an A-, or maybe an A!

That just makes me really proud of myself that I've been able to manage making the 4th quarter my best quarter this year.

AND OH MY GOD.
I GOT AN A- ON MY LAST BIOLOGY TEST.
NO IDEA HOW THAT HAPPENED. 
So now I have an A in the class :)
Only problem: I am going to fail that Core 40...for sure...
Class of 2020 now? Probably.

Osama is dead.

Well United States,
Osama bin Laden is officially dead.
The U.S. has won their mission.
People are flooding the area around the White House chanting "USA" 
People too far from the White House have been glued to their TV's since about 10 o'clock. 
Barack Obama addressed the nation, so we all know it's true.


but wait...


 The U.S. is not only in custody of his body, but we were the ones who killed the man.
We're in the United States, people.
When this man was still alive, knowing full well that people were after him, his al Qaeda followers still attempted and/or succeeded with attacks on america. 
The mastermind is dead now.
But really, if they're training 12-year-olds in basic suicide bombing tactics and stuff like that, I'm willing to bet that his #2 guy knows quite a bit.
Plus, the United States killed him.
Do you really think that the people who destroyed the World Trade Centers after whatever event I'm not knowledgeable about aren't going to retaliate against the country that killed their leader??


Osama's death = good
The Aftermath   = bad.

Taking a breather.

So, I'm thinking about taking a "sick day", or as others refer to it, a "mental health day."
I really just need to take a breather.
Actually, I needed one of these days a LONG time ago, but didn't.
Of course, I'll probably still be in school tomorrow, but right now I feel like ranting about everybody and everything.
I won't...but I feel like it.

Hey people.
I have a headache...again...
I really hate this!
Geometry today was time consuming.
SRT was GREATTTT!
World History was boring.
Now I'm in Intro with a headache.

I don't like this.
But whateverrrrrrrrrrr.

Josh gave me some goldfish at lunch today, which was good. Actually, Leanne stole them from him, but it all worked out haha.

I'm going to the library after play practice today with my friend. Then I have to read 2 more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird by 12:30 tomorrow.........I can do this.

...maybe...

Loving Goldfish,

Why is today so boring?

Today i had Geometry. I spent 80 minutes on just the first half of the homework. That was literally my SRT...just doing homework.
Then I had lunch. And Josh had goldfish but wouldn't let me have them.
I was really sad.
Then I went to World History.........
SO BORING IT'S OBNOXIOUS.
Then we found out that we DO have to make up that day from the power outage.......REALLY!?!

And now I'm in Intro just kind of chilling and typing and not wanting to read and dealing with my headache and wishing we didn't have school tomorrow and listening to keyboards type.

Oh, well I guess I'm done now.

Happy Easter to those of you who Care!

I know that title was a bit odd, but I know that some people my age would be offended and all like "how dare you assume that I believe in God and Jesus rising from the dead!"
So yeah, Happy Easter if you care.


So at 10:30 last night I decided to dye Easter eggs with my mom...just because.
She hard-boiled 6 eggs, but broke 3 before I even touched them. So here's the pretty ones I took care of:

Easter Eggs!

Then this morning I woke up to my mom slamming windows and yelling at this rabbit digging a hole in our backyard. I came downstairs when I heard her stop, and I found her by the window talking to the rabbit because it came to the window "to talk to her" 
It went away....AND CAME BACK!
So we determined that it was the new Easter Bunny.
Here's a REALLY bad picture of it--I took it with my phone, and it's got some bad quality.

The new Easter Bunny

So yeah, I just thought I'd share that with you all!

At my grandma's house, I played with my insane 6 year old cousin. My grandma got both of us these giant bubble wands and we blew bubbles for like 20 minutes. I wish I had some pictures of that because that would have made for a good photo opp, but I didn't have my camera with me :(

So yeah,

Happy Family Day/Easter!

SHATTERED GLASS!

So today was a great day. 
Actually, today only had 2 good parts.


Anyways, 
My mom and I were at Jewel and we just happened to go down past the "great hit movies" that usually aren't anything normal people have ever heard of.
The second I looked at the rack I saw it:
Shattered Glass


I literally screamed and grabbed the $4.99 DVD and threw it in the cart.
My mom was quite confused, but I didn't care.


Then I got home and watched the movie.
Actually, I watched Jesus Christ Superstar (by force) with my mom, who was totally jamming out while I sat there like "what is this...hippies retelling the Passion...ok?
THEN I watched Shattered Glass.
I love that movie!
After the last time I had seen it, I decided that I would sit and keep tally of how many times that idiot Stephen Glass repeated himself.
"I'm not. It's probably nothing.": 3 times
"Are you mad at me?": surprisingly, only 3 times
"I didn't do anything wrong Chuck!": 4 times in 1 conversation. 
About halfway through, I realized that I probably should have counted "I'm sorry" and him saying Chuck's name alone...that would've been a more interesting tally.


But for now, I must sleep, after getting 12 hours and later taking a 2 hour nap.
I enjoy sleep :)

10:47 PM

Well I guess the time I start this will be the title from now on.
It seems like I do my best deep thinking before bed, and I also feel the need to share my brilliant thinking with the world....or at least the maybe 4 people who actually read this blog.


So deep thought of recently, but mainly the last 10 minutes:
I am a hypocrite.


I tell people so many things...I wouldn't say advice really, but just things similar to advice....but I can't even listen to what I tell other people.
It's not good.


I guess in this case, along with the fact that tomorrow is a blue day, I'll have to just grin and bear it.

No school?

Ok. 
So I woke up on time today. And the phone rings.
My mom was like, still asleep then is like "you don't have school today."
WHAT.
REALLY.
UGH.
Now we have to make up ANOTHER day (so help me, we better not have to. It's not our fault the school is incapable of having us AND its only the high school, noone else)
And if the seniors don't have to make this up and we do, I will be one ANGRY camper.

11:00 PM

Indeed, it is currently 11 PM that I am starting to write this post.
Based on a conversation today and the fact that I don't want to go to bed, I decided to write this.


So in my life, there's a lot of movies that I haven't seen. 
This pretty much explains the lack of movies. Although there are some more movies that need to be added to the list that I have seen, but not many famously important movies.


So here's the list of some common places I've never been to: 


-Wisconsin Dells
-Disney World
-Any state other than IN, IL, WI, MI, or VA. (Yeah, Virgina's randomly there for Washington DC)
-Olive Garden 
-Buffalo Wild Wings
-Jimmy John's
-Indianapolis Children's Museum (supposedly the best?)
-IKEA
-WALMART......ok I've actually been there twice. But twice for Walmart...I mean that's good enough as never.


But after all, this is from the kid that hadn't been to Navy Pier, The Museum of Science and Industry, or the Shedd Aquarium until last year.


And I mean obviously I haven't been everywhere on Earth, but those are the big ones that I felt everybody on Earth besides me had been to. 


Ok so it's 11:16 now, so I suppose I ought to actually go to sleep...I have a nice, big Biology test tomorrow :(

Eye Doctor

So today, in an effort to track down the source of my headaches, I went to the eye doctor.
It has seriously been YEARS since I last saw the guy. So it wasn't like he remembered ever seeing me. Or maybe he never did...who knows?


So they checked my peripherals first. Perfect.
Depth Perception. Perfect............how that happened I don't know.


And basically it came out that I have great vision,
which is kind of hard to believe considering EVERYBODY on my mom's side of the family has glasses. Like, EVERYBODY.


Then the doctor checked my eyes for like cuts on the retina or freckles--yeah--apparently you can have freckles on your eyeballs.


He dilated my eyes. It was all ok until we went outside.
I literally thought the sun was going to burn my eyes out.
Then my mom decides "Hey, let's go to Jewel even though you can't focus your eyes on anything!" 
Thanks mom. 
But I DID get ice cream out of it, which I suppose is good :)


So really, all that happened today was paying $84 to have someone tell me that my eyes look great and then make them all suckish for 3 hours afterwards. 


And my headache mystery remains unsolved.
Yay.

Ok, I'm really bored right now, so bear with me.
I just felt the sudden need to blog. But there's really nothing to blog about.
Wait. I've got something. 
I enjoy criticizing things, I don't know why.
I feel like that could be my calling.....
Anyways, the school shootings in Brazil...?
What!?!? 
WHY would anybody go to an ELEMENTARY school and just randomly open fire?!?
Ok, this guy killed himself in the end. He had AIDS and I suppose I can understand him wanting to kill himself. But why the heck is it necessary to take down 12 kids with him?? KIDS!!!
It sickens me. Here's my source before you all think I'm making this up: The article that says it all.

Oh, and even better....the Associated Press wrote this.
Of course that reminds me of that class that I continuously go to where I'm told that newspapers are dying and and journalism has no job security and blah blah blah. 
It's getting annoying.


--End rant--


Ok. So I'm going to Indianapolis on Sunday for a bowling tournament. 
I just cleaned my bowling balls tonight...I'm not sure I did it exactly the right way, but it should help. Because I have SUCKED lately. 
But I need to do well in this tournament.

I wasn't in my usual Monday daze today. But I still don't like Mondays.

As a matter of fact, I just want school to be over with.

I want to go to a Sox game.

I want the next 84 days to go by faster so I can go to Notre Dame.

I want to know what college to go to. 

I want my driver's license.

I want my pilot's license. 

I want a tattoo of a phrase Apolo Ohno says (not a name...Wad)\

I want tumblr to be unblocked by the school.

I want yesterday's weather to be everyday's weather. 

I want to skip to next year.

I want to NOT come up with a yearbook theme by myself. 

I want to go flying in my cousin's Citabria airplane.

Hello Again

Hi readers.
I am quite bored, and my throat hurts.
My life is so saddening. 
I'm reading a new book--Brave New World.
The first 3 chapters were good, but Chapter 4 either just got boring or I was just tired because I'm sick.
This sucks.

Well, yeah.

More than 11? Why not?

So today I exceeded my 11 movies. Sort of.


Earlier, I was watching Pretty in Pink with my mom. But I missed the first 15 and last 30 minutes. 
It was....ok. 
John Hughes is supposedly an amazing director. Considering I haven't seen his other movies, I guess I can't totally judge him. 


Right now, I'm watching Hairspray, too. I've seen this movie a million times, but it's still good. I LOVE the music. I can't really choose between this and the Sound of Music, though :( 
But I know a lot more random things about Sound of Music than I do Hairspray. That's for sure. 


Well, time to continue watching. And maybe eat some Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream because it's the best thing EVER.


Loving Hairspray,

Mission Accomplished.

I fulfilled my movie promise.
All 11 movies. Done.


What. Now.


So my last movie was Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
Oh Snape....why'd he go bad? 
Well, he was bad to begin with....but still, why'd he actually show it this time around and not hide it from Dumbledore. 
Anyways.....good movie :)


Honestly...I probably will hit 12 or 13 tomorrow. 
I'm proud of myself :)

So today I couldn't think of what movie to watch, so I picked a random one. 
That random one was Finding Nemo.


Honestly, I don't really have much to say about that movie. 
It's Pixar--I love Pixar. 
That's about it. 


Loving...I don't know...Pixar?

8 down, 3-7 to go

Another movie down today.
Let's just say I totally relived my childhood today.


Nothing was on TV. Except for Tarzan. So I watched it.


I really don't have too much to say about it, except it's kind of cute. And its soundtrack is amazing, thanks to Phil Collins


That's all I have to say about Movie #8


Loving Phil Collins,

7 down, 4-8 to go.

Got another movie out of the way today.


Rugrats in Paris.
Yeah. I watched Rugrats. Be jealous.


Ok, I only watched it because there's little bits of French in it and I wanted to see what I could figure out.


That movie is sad. Little Chuckie wants a new mommy and it's just super sad :(


Well yeah, sad movies = my life.

6 down, 5-9 to go

My 5th and 6th movies were achieved today.
Today, I watched School of Rock and Inception.


School of Rock is a great movie. That movie was literally MADE for Jack Black. It's so quoteable. I can pretty much recite that entire movie anyways :) The only thing is, though, the main plot is pretty implausible. Really. It's a substitute teacher who turns his students into a rock band. 
WHAT!?!?!? Not plausible. But that's ok. Because the rest of the movie makes up for it.


Then my other movie today was Inception.
THAT MOVIE. ASDFHGKLAHFDJKHFSFHSD 


Yes. Because that's English...
It's just.......wow. 
That movie has like 5 plots going on at once, yet at the same time has no plot and is just like "Let's see what happens in various levels of dreaming and try to plant ideas in their heads!"
It's just.......ugh. Crazy. 
But really...it is a good movie. The effects are just...great. And the acting is really good, too.
The only thing is, though, you just can't be a logical thinker. You just have to go along with everything.


Well, I still have 5-9 movies to watch. So maybe I'll start on #7? 


Loving Jack Black,

4 down, 7-11 to go

Well, the 4th movie added to my list was Post Grad. 
In this movie, it has Alexis Bledel (from Gilmore Girls) and Jane Lynch (from Glee), so the cast in itself is pretty amazing. Then the plot's kind of interesting.
Alexis's character graduates from college and is trying to find a job (and a guy...but mainly a job). 
There's some pretty funny parts in it, too.
But my mom hated it. I bought it myself today because I went to one of the closing Borders and got it for 40% off. It was really one of the only good movies they had left :(


So yeah. That was Post Grad.


Loving how scared I just got at the lightning that flashed before my eyes,

HAPPY 100TH POST TO ME!

Yes, fellow bloggers. I have reached 100 posts!


Well, besides that.
3 movies down, 8-12 movies to go. 


Last night I watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
I really love this one. The epic battle in the end is just amazing! And it's so funny. Every time I watch Harry Potter, I find out something different. It's probably stuff I would of already known, but I didn't actually read the books. Too lazy to. 


Oh yeah, this Spring Break will be great.


Loving SPRING BREAK,
-bowler :)

2 down, 9-13 to go.

So, Spring Break hath arrived!
I WILL watch 11-15 movies like I said.


Well, I got 2 down.
I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Thursday & Friday night, along with this morning. It took me that long to get all of it. 
Now I'm watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. 
I suppose I could do a review over all the movies I'm watching this Spring Break.
Well, 
Harry Potter 1 is just cute because of little 10-year-old Daniel Radcliffe. But Hermoine is just a snob.
Harry Potter 4 is sad at the end. I really don't like Robert Pattinson at all, but it's sad when Cedric dies. My mom cries every time when the dad realizes he's dead.


In other news, my friends and I walked about 8 miles today. We probably covered the entire Northwest section of our town, but I'm sure I've walked more than 8 total today. I'd say at least 10. 


I'll continue to update with movies watched.
