Hello people's. Today I'm writing about a movie I watched recently. Here it goes.
The movie is called The 13th Warrior. This movie takes place in Medieval times and it starts off near Bagdad. A man was banished from his home to be an ambassador in a northern kingdom. While going north they have to run from Tartars which would kill them if they got to them. The Tartars see a Viking ship and turn back.
However, the ambassador decides to talk to them and they become guests in the Viking camp. During their stay a messenger comes telling the king of the Vikings that a kingdom back home is being invaded by supernatural forces. The witch in the Viking camp tells them that thirteen warriors must go to help the village. Twelve men step up to the challenge but then the witch says that the thirteenth warrior must not be a northman. So naturally they look towards the ambassador and as the thirteenth warrior he must venture into the north with his companions and defeat the supernatural threat.
The 13th warrior is a very good movie. It is a very manly tale of Vikings and monsters and at no point is it boring. It has some gory horror elements to it as well that brings it all together. The enemy they face is also very scary because of their power and they overwhelm them completely. This movie is based off the book "Eaters of Death."
Bye.

Valentines Day
February 14. It was the first valentines day I had ever had with a girlfriend. About a week before I started thinking of what to do. As I said I didn't have much of an idea of what I should do because it was my first valentines day being in a relationship. It took me a while to come up with something (plus a few helpful suggestions from dad) but I finally had something planned a few days before.
At around 4-4:45 I started setting everything up before I picked her up at 5:20. We would've had school but there was a ton of snow. I wore Jeans, a dress shirt and I managed to find a suitable tie with the cuffs unbuttoned, sleeves rolled up and not tucked in, (to my fathers somewhat discontent.) ;) I set up a table and two chairs in the sunroom and hid the card and chocolates in places to be revealed to her after dinner. Afterwards, my mom and I picked her up (as usual she looking great and me looking less than great.) She gave me a valentines day cookie and we endured the awkward, still having to be driven around my your mom, car trip and hung out at my house till Mom came back with the Chinese food.
We talked and ate there while the sun set beside us through the windows until it was time for the movie. (And yes, less than sneaky photos were taken by mom.) We were dropped off at Berkley Plaza and I bought the tickets for Winter's Tale. It was a romance/drama movie with angels and demons and all that and it was pretty good but that's a different blog. At around 9:30 we went back to my house for her things and said goodbye at her house. At home I took our movie tickets and put them inside a letter she had once given me, still smiling like a fool, and went to bed. The next day at breakfast I had a very, very good cookie.
I hope you had a good time Molly, I did. Bye.

The Graveyard Book
Hello peoples. Today I'm talking about one of my favorite books. Here it goes.
So quite a while ago I got a book called The Graveyard book by Neil Gaiman. I read it for the second time recently and it is a very good book for all ages. There are some books that can be very good but seem tiring to read but this book pulls you into a strange and very big world that you never get tired of. So the story starts with a man named...
Jack. For reasons not yet to be revealed this man has killed a baby boy's parents and sibling. However, this is not quite a normal boy and with the door still left open by the murderer the boy manages to toddle out into the night and slip through the tall gates of a graveyard. The man named Jack comes into the graveyard looking for him but one of the graveyard's supernatural residents slips the man named Jack's mind and Jack becomes convinced that the baby did not in fact, go into the graveyard but toddled down the opposite way and it must have been a fox he had seen. The little boy is taken up by the ghosts Mr. and Ms. Owens and gets the name Nobody, Bod for short, and earns the "freedom of the graveyard", the power lets people's eyes slip off him as if he was a ghost and he can go into graves, slides through mausoleum walls and talks to his only friends, the residents of the graveyard. This book is about the adventures in the graveyard of Nobody Owens.
I love the creepy supernatural things in this book and afterwards I read the graphic novel of Coraline, also by Neil Gaiman, and loved that as well. I highly encourage you to pick up The Graveyard Book.

hello peoples! Today I'm continuing my rant on shining-esque things with Doctor Sleep! Here it goes!
So one of the first (quite depressing) points in Doctor Sleep is that Danny is... a drunk. After all the horrible things brought to his family by his father's own drunkenness Danny's Shining was to great a curse and to little a blessing for him to resist the bottle. Being severely drunk is the only thing Danny has found that calms down the Shining.
Specifically the book starts at what you would call the "Bottom", the worst thing an alcoholic had ever done is called their bottom. I'm not gonna go into detail about that because it is a pretty big plot point in the book (and because its rather explicit.) Anyway some good things happen to Danny for a change and he ends up being sober for quite a long time and ends up with a job at the local hospice.
He works theree for a while with a grey cat that always visits a patient the night they are going to die but he's a nice cat. Danny helps people pass on with the shining, such as looking at their good memories to comfort them and if they can't talk or are comatose he can hear them in his mind so him and Azriel the cat work together and life is good until they came...
I'm not gonna say anymore about the book but there is one major thing I'm gonna give you a small hint on... The Torrance family has some more family ties. That's it! That's it! I've said to much already. bye peoples and pleeaase pick up DOCTOR SLEEEEP.
