Type Racer


I just found another really cool website called TypeRacer.com! It's a really fun place where you can race with other live people on the site and you type quotes from books, movies, songs, or even plays. It's really addicting and the website even gives you a MPH score and it tells you which place you came in. You can even make an account, if you'd like that better than being a guest. Type Racer is so much fun!

Sony Vaio W


Today I got a new notebook laptop. It's a pink Song Vaio W and has a webcam. It's really cool and easy to use. The Vaio W is very light and it about ten inches across. It's my first laptop and I'm really liking it. If you're thinking about getting a laptop, definitley consider the Sony Vaio W.

Electrify Your Strings


There's a man named Mark Wood who used to play with the Tri Presbyterian Symphony. He is doing another Electrify Your Strings program in Harrison. The elementary schools, middle school, and high schools in Harrison will be doing a concert with him on February 6, 2010. We're going to dye our hair different colors and wear fun clothes. The songs we'll be playing are: Yellow Submarine, Strings Will Rock You (it's just We Will Rock You), and Hoedown. I'm really excited for the concert which will be at the Harrison high school.

Decorating Cakes



I recently found something really fun to do on rainy days. Decorating cakes! It lets your creativity go wild and you can be very precise with your details. I found that it's easier to have a replica of the real object. If you are doing a Coke cake, take a real Coke bottle to copy from. It's really fun but you have to be patient. Always sketch out your cake on paper before starting, in case you make a mistake.

Up

Up is probably my favorite movie ever. It won an award for best animated film of the year in 2009. The big idea in Up is to always be kind to others and to be optimistic. This great movie with Edward Asner and Jordan Nagail is great for all ages. It's sad, but Russel and Mr. Fredrickson have an amazing adventure in Paradise Falls. No matter where you see Up, you'll love it, but 3-D is the best.
