Model Airplanes

Once upon a time I was at a craft store against my own free will which happens a lot of times. I saw this wooden model and I bought it. It was a teeny tiny ship of the titanic. After I bought it, I became semi-obsessed with models. So soon, it was the 4th of July and we just so happened to be at Wal-mart. And I saw a wooden model of an airplane. We bought that and I built it. Then we went to the craft store right before we went to Africa and I got a metal model of a car. Then it was about a year later. (Two days ago.) I went in my dads car and found a few plastic models. I brought this one inside. But right now, we don't have plastic cement so blah blah blah blah blah. That's all the things important. Today is a school day obviously... but tomorrow is Friday which is the best school day ever and always will be because we only have six more hours of boring work left. I got some more Droidz stuff like some things that you can use for an animation of someone parachuting. The best thing of all is: WE GOT THE NEW HARD DRIVE FOR THE BROKEN COMPUTER AND IT MIGHT BE FIXED IN A FEW DAYS AND WE CAN FINALLY PLAY STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT AND LEGO STAR WARS AND OTHER JUNK ON THAT COMPUTER AND MY HAPPINESS WILL FINALLY BE COMPLETE EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT SCHOOL WILL NEVER END AND THERE ARE ONLY TWO DAYS A WEEK THAT YOU GET TO YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's really nothing else interesting... My room is clean... we went to Wal-mart yesterday... we played on the trampoline yesterday... I took a nap today... by accident... I'm about to eat lunch... and... and... Oh forget it! The end.

Droidz.org

A few days ago, which you'd know if you bored yourself reading my blog, I did a post on Pivot Stick figure. I was unsuccessfully making stick figures and things... actually I WAS making them successfully but you couldn't tell what they were unless I told you... So, anyway, I was really desperate to get some extremely important sticks (as I call them). So I followed my motto: When in doubt, go straight to youtube. So I did and I found this website called Droidz.org. It was a website that some dude called Jon made. There are a few links at the top. One of them takes you to Jon's animations, one of them takes you to something else, one of them takes you to I forgot, and the last one takes you to what Jon calls: stks. There are a whole bunch of people who make characters and other things on Pivot. Sometimes they feel nice and want to share or show off the things that they made and put it on Droidz. There are lots of categories for the "stks". They are: Last 40 stks accepted, stick people, weapons, vehicles, and miscellaneous whatever that means. So I just randomly started getting a whole bunch of these and downloading the ones I liked. As you can see, I am more obsessed with crossbows and swords and stuff than guns. They're cooler. Guns make fast video's and swords make long ones if that's simple enough. When you download something, sometimes it's one thing and sometimes it's a lot (called a set). For example, a bow set can come with different types of bows and arrows and things. If you look at the top, you will see four scimitars (those curved swords.) They all came in one set, but they are colored in differently to suit other peoples styles. I have a whole bunch of people, my favorite shown here. The bottom right corner of the picture has what I call a zombie robot. Next to him is a ninja. In the ninja set, there were a whole bunch of different styles of him but there isn't enough space to display them. Next to the ninja is a guy called an "armored dude", or at least that's what I call him. In the top left corner there is a skeleton. Now for the weapons. My favorite of them all is the halberd. (The large stick thing with the spike at the end going across the screen.) My next favorite is the Death sword. It's the weapon at the right of the crossbow. After that, I like the chain mace which is at the top right corner. Then I like the scimitars, then the katana. (that sword thing above the halberd. Then I like the sniper rifle which is also above the halberd, and then I like the chain gun which is that thing below the halberd. Finally, I like the bow and the crossbow. The crossbow has a top and side view but I only had the space to show the crossbow. That's the cool junk that I got from Droidz.

The Television

I have no idea if I took a picture of this before but who cares? With all the other boring ideas that I think about, this will probably be one of my best posts. This is the T.V. as you can see, we don't give a care about big screen T.V.s because... well actually, I don't know why, but we don't. Next to the television are huge stacks of DVDs going all the way to the ceiling. To me, the television is really not very important. If i rated the computer, I'd rate it 10/10 vs. the television which I'd rate 3/10. I like seeing new movies but seeing them over and over and over gets annoying. (This effect does not occur with the Star Wars movies.) I like to actually "live" and not "see" so video games are 100000000 times more important then videos. Of coarse we always have Youtube for those funny animations and movie making programs for Youtube which grownups call a waste of time. We always have the piano to learn songs from Runescape. And finally, we have the television for when we're dead bored. So if any of that made any sense to you, you understand what I think of the household appliances. The end. (I'd make a longer post if I had anything else to say so don't annoy me about it if you can annoy me about it at all...)

Nothing

There's nothing to talk about today because... because... because... because... because I've taken pictures of everything "interesting". So If you expect me to write anything interesting, you might as well jump to the moon. The only thing I'm happy about today is that it's Friday and it's time to end the boring school of bores. Then we get to have fun for what seems to be the first time in my life. So....... um.......... how are you today? I'm doing fine... Actually.. no I'm not. I'm really so dead bored that you could slap me in the face and I wouldn't even twitch. School wasn't made for education which is obvious only to kids for some reason. School was made to make kids so bored that they regret even thinking about fun. If there was no such thing as school and you learned by yourself, the world would be a much happier place. All I can think about right now is games, fun, outside, trampoline, computer, water guns, and so on. I'm so bored. I wonder, do teachers really care if kids get an education? They say they do, but I think that's not why they're a teacher. They either are obsessed with money or enjoy seeing kids get the opposite of what they thought they would do that day. Just give us ONE MORE TEENY TINY DAY FOR THE WEEKEND AND I'LL BE HAPPY!!! That's all I have to say. The end.

Rock Candy!!!!!

A few days ago, my friend and I were doing science for school. I was really desperate not to read a boring book so I asked if we could do an experiment. So my mom said yes and we looked in a book called Last Minute Science Fair Projects So we looked in it until we found a science experiment that wasn't dead boring (like you usually have to do in school) and we did it. We just skimmed through the pages. Here is basically how it sounded: "No, measuring plants is boring." we turned the page, "No, watching mold grow on stuff is boring." we turned the page, "No, Lima bean plants stink badly." we turned the page, "No, watching fruit is boring." we turned the page, "Cutting plants apart is boring." we turned the page, and continued until page 29. "Perfect!" It was one of those experiments that you felt that you wouldn't be able to do in school if you paid the teacher one million dollars. It was: ROCK CANDY!!!!! Once in the zoo, we stopped at the store and i was allowed to get rock candy. It was the first time in my life that I ever got any and it tasted really good. So we started this experiment. The list said that we would need: A paper clip, a piece of string 8 inches long, a glass jar, a pencil, a saucepan, 1 cup of water, 2 cups of sugar, a wooden spoon, and for some reason, they thought we were babies and needed adult supervision. We proved them wrong. The instructions were to tie the paper clip to the end of the string and make sure the paper clip will hang just above the floor of the jar. Pour one cup of water into the saucepan. With "adult supervision", heat the water on the stove. Keep adding sugar and mixing it into the water with the spoon until it won't dissolve into the water anymore. With an "adults help", pour the liquid into the jar until 1 inch of space is left at the top of the jar. Tie the string with the paper clip around the pencil and balance the pencil at the rim of the jar so that the string and paper clip fall in. (We cheated and taped the string instead of tying it.) Let the jar cool off and put it on a shelf or somewhere where it won't be disturbed. Wait two weeks and pull out the paper clip and you'll have rock candy! You can try this with salt too. Two days later, we looked at it and tiny sugar crystals started growing along the string and paper clip. We also noticed that a thin layer of sugar crystals were on top of the water just like ponds in the winter where the ice covers the water. We only have a week and a few days left. (you can add food coloring beforehand so that your rock candy will be a certain color.

Pivot Stickfigure Animator

A few days ago, I was randomly watching Lego animation videos on Youtube. Then, I remembered that I wanted to find a program where I can animate stick figures. So I searched "Stick figure animation program" and there was a video teaching how to use a program called Pivot Stickfigure Animator. There was a link to a website where you can download it. It turned out to be free, so I downloaded it. Five seconds after I installed it, I was animating. It had a default stick figure that you could work on. (It wasn't those little guys in the picture. It was one of the thin tall ones that you usually see.) As you can see in the picture, each stick figure has lots of little dots on them. The one with the blue dots means you are not currently using that figure. The one with the red means you are currently using it. Each dot represents a joint and you can click on one and move it to move the joint above the dot. There is one yellow dot and all it does is moves the whole figure when you drag it without twisting or moving its body parts. There are eight buttons on the left of the screen that let you edit the current figure. The "delete" button deletes the current figure. The "edit" one brings up a new screen and you can edit the figure by deleting its body parts, adding body parts, changing the size of the body parts, and changing the thickness of the different body parts. You can even edit your own figures (That's how i made the little guys in the picture.) and save them. The "center" Button puts the figure automatically in the center of the screen. The "flip" button flips the figure around, for example, if I used flip on the person in the picture, he would be facing right as well as everything else pointing left. Then I could flip him again to put him back. The "color" button lets you change the color of your stick figure to colors like red and blue instead of black. The thing next to that button lets you change the size. It starts at 100 and you can change it to make it smaller or bigger. The front and back buttons, I have no idea what they do. Whenever you add a figure, it appears in the middle of the screen. You can then move him wherever you want and move his arms and legs and other parts however you want. After that, you press the next frame button. Then you can move him a little bit at a time and press the next frame button every time you finish moving him. To add another of the same figure, you press the add figure button. All the frames you've done appear in order at the very top of the screen. You can watch your video any time you want by clicking the play button. There are lots of cool things you can do with it. If you make it look like they walk, but they don't move, it looks like they're moving but the camera is moving with them. If you turn a stick (as a figure) white, then you can overlap it on their face so that the black part that it's over doesn't appear making it look like it's opening it's mouth. You can save your animations too to put it on a website. (I was about to put my animation instead of a picture for my post, but for some reason, I couldn't.) The end.

You're probably wondering: What is this weird picture? Well, it doesn't really matter what it is but if you are too ignorant to care that knowing what it is won't help you through life, then I can tell you. It's the 360 view of our library. A few of those blurs, as you can see in the picture, are shelves. Those colorful blurs (Or the most colorful blurs in the picture as they're not very colorful) Are the books. That white blur is everything else........ I will tell my review of the weather today: Good morning kids who have to have school today only because of the law that was given for no reason. Or maybe you'd have to go anyway. We have perfect weather outside, not to sunny, cloudy, windy or humid. This is the perfect weather that you never get on weekends. It's calling to us. Yet it doesn't know that it's against the law to respond. That's why we don't get such good weather on the weekends. Because we don't respond on the weekdays. The household appliances are also calling to us. Too bad we have to wait six hours to even get near them. And blahblahblahblahblah. Everyone knows what I'm going to say. I'm really bored (as usual on these strange schooldays) and um... bored. Now the daily wrap-it-up boring paragraph thing: The computer is still broken, I'm almost finished with the 4th Harry Potter book, we have school today, and tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that. Then we have 2 out of 7 lousy days of rest and then five more days of torture and then 2 days of fun. If you ask me, it's unfair. It should at least be 3 days of fun. Who says we need to "learn" more than have fun? Who says we need three times more work than rest?! huh? Okay, this post is officially finished with: The end.
