The Meadows

THIS SEPTEMBER WE'RE GOING TO CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!! We're flying to Arizona to see my Grandpa, then CA to see Vegas and my Aunt Liz and Uncle Tom.

Hi! None of you probably know what I'm talking about, but they're making a new Tintin movie! Yeah. Looks pretty stupid.

Jack Horner

Okay. Miriam and Jack hated the book so far, so I'm doing a recap of it on my computer and on NATRON. Carry on.

Jack Horner and the Dark Forces first draft: Part Two

Jack was happy to see the cabin again. He hadn't seen it for a year, and was excited. As he helped unload the car of all the camping equipment, he thought, I am definitely going to get the bed this year.
There was only one bed in the cabin. It was not very comfortable, but it was better than the roll-up mattresses that they had brought.
"So, who gets the bed this year?"asked Roger, after they had brought all the sleeping bags and stuff in.
This erupted into shouts of, "Me!" "You got it last year!" "But there are four of us." "So?"
Marie, who didn't understand what all the arguing was about, yelled, "No, I get the bed!"
Roger, Joy, and Jack all turned to look at her, startled by her outburst.
"Well, I guess she's never had it..." Roger said.
"Yeah..." agreed Joy. "Okay, Marie gets it!"
"Okay," Jack retorted, "But I get it next year!" ...And before you could say 'No way,' they had started fighting again.
Jack went out the next day to take a walk. He had walked two feet into the forest, when he heard a growling noise. He went back to get his walking stick.
When he had been walking for maybe ten minutes, he heard it again: a low, growling noise that might've been grumbling. He thought it came from the sky. Jack looked up, and there, on a high tree branch, was a four-foot-tall fisher.

Movies!

Okay. Big news. I just did a search for 'Sea of Monsters,' the second Percy Jackson book, and they're making a movie in 2012!
They're also making 'The giver' by Lois Lowry into a movie in 2012!
Annnnnnnnnnnnnddddddddd they're making 'Monnster's Inc. 2' and 'The Incredibles 2: Rise of the Underminer.'
Those two sound pretty stupid, but I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE GIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jack Horner and the Dark Forces first draft: Part One

Jack Horner was excited. He and his family (well, most of them) were going camping in the woods of Maine.
Jack's family did this every year; it had become a tradition. But this year, his parents weren't going. They had decided that it was a waste of time and money.
He bounced up and down in the middleseat of his older brother, Roger's black minivan, singing the theam song of his favorite TV show.
Roger glared at him in the rearveiw mirror. Jack stopped. But soon, their three-year-old sister Marie had started up where he had left off.
"Good job!" Roger's voice dripped sarcasm. "I told you over and over to stop, and now Marie's being loud and obnoxius!"
"No, she's not," Jack's fifteen-year-old sister, Joy, retorted. She was still angry at Roger for winning the 'Who-gets-to-drive-the-car-for-the-cross-country-road-trip' argument. "She's just singing. I mean, if she were singing Jingle Bells then you could freak out."
And, to add to the tension in the car, Marie had to start singing Jingle Bells.
"No!" yelled Jack. "Christmas isn't for seven months! Can we focus on summer before we get to winter?"
Marie stopped singing, but Roger gave Jack his deluxe 'Oh-you-think-you're-sooo-cool' glare.
Jack glared at Marie, while Roger glared at Jack, while Joy glared at Roger.
Marie, who was looking out the window at the vast miles of farmland, croed out, "Ooh! Cows! Mooo."
Everyone tried to stay angry and glare at each other, but they couldn't. Their anger dissolved into laughter, and they laughed all the way to the cabin.
(This may seem like something that would happen only in a book, but not if one considers that the Horner family was only moments away from their destination at the given time.)

Happy Easter, everyone!
