The Last Apprentice

Hey people's. Today I'm gonna talk about the Last Apprentice series. Here it goes.



The Last Apprentice series is a horror series. So far they have 10 books out. They are based off of old European legends with unique twists. Such as witches literally being able sniff out danger from miles away in Europe and banshees haunting Ireland. They are also other creatures that just sprang from the authors mind too. It's very scary and after reading the first book it made me fear my bunk bed and things that go bump in the night.



Thomas Ward is a seventh son of a seventh son. This makes him able to hear and see things other children can't. He lives in the County, a world without electricity or modern technology where it is very dangerous to go out at night. This also makes him eligible to be the spooks apprentice. A spook is a person who is called on when things from legend start to hurt and scare. There's something more to Thomas Ward though not just a staff and a silver chain.


I'm currently on the tenth book in the series and so far I'm astounded by the artwork. I know it's a particular style but I can't name it. The colors and strokes perfectly convey the authors style of horror. It's drawn by Patrick Arrasmith. It's written by Joseph Delaney.


So that's the Last Apprentice series be sure to pick up the first book the Revenge of the Witch. Bye!

Do a Barney Oilfeild

Hey people's. I'm blogging on my Dad's blog. Here it goes.

Ok first off.....my Dad is.....Dad. He's not really supposed to be cool. No offense. Now he is kinda broadcasting it to the world. Also he's big and I'm so very very small.

I like his blog though. It's fun to read. It's good because I get to hear more about him. Reading his blog is like getting possessed by Dad. It's fun and creepy.

I do like his topics too. Its like every old movie Dad showed rolled up into a geeky blog. I especially like the stories and stuff about movies and tv shows. It reminds me of an Indiana Jones movie guest starring Aquaman. It's also fun to hear about his past. I had never heard about the guerrilla gorilla story.

So that's my thoughts on my fathers blog. Check out Do a Barney Oilfield here.

P.S. that wrestling/fart story never happened!

P.S.S. the books were way better than the movie in dad's first blog!

The dark knight rises

Hi people's. Today is another video game review. Here it goes.



So I'm gonna talk about the iPad video game the Dark knight rises. So far it is a really good game. It is definitely worth the 4.99. Probably my favorite part is how you can move. Instead their being separate levels there's just different stages.



So if you're on one skyscraper in the city. Which is a stage and bane is on the other with a hostage you can jump off the building glide with you're cape behind him, grapple to the top and use a assortment of karate moves to fight him. There's also mini games. Such as a tap sequence to get out of something and a game to hack computers. My favorite is the second one.



You can also use all of his vehicles. My favorite is the bat pod. There's also the bat. Unfortunately I don't think you can use the bat mobile. It's my second favorite after infinity blade 2.



So that's it. Bye!

Prison I mean school

Hey people's. Today I'm gonna talk about school. Here it goes.

Okay so it's the first week of school. Blah. It's back to the textbooks made out of bricks, teachers from the black lagoon, and homework piled on top of my chores. At least I get to see my friends right? Wrong. I have a total of 1 friend in my homeroom class ugh.

I go to school at north middle school.


I'm a 7th grader now so I get to be in the same building with the 8th graders some of which are ogres who have to shave. Most of my teachers are nice especially my homeroom teacher Mr. Wright. So I'm having a little fun. But lunch is pretty bad because the lines so long there's only about 5 minutes to eat you're mystery meat.

I've got Social Studies, Math, Strings, Reading, SPL, lunch, Advisory, English, Gym, and Science in that order. It's nice having harder subjects in the morning and science and gym to end my day. My sister is also In the 6 grade so she gets on my bus and wakes up the same time now. Luckily we are both to tired to fight in the mornings. We don't see each other much though because I'm not allowed in the 6th grade hallways.

So there's the rundown on my school. Bye!

Infinity Blade

Hey people's. Today I'm doing another blog on my favorite game series called Infinity Blade. Today is on the final update for Infinity Blade 2 and Infinity Blade Dungeons.



Here it goes! So the update for Infinity Blade 2 is titled Sky Cages. The name comes into play because there are cages at the top of the tower visible from the outside. After you beat Thane on your first rebirth then on your second, you can go up the stairs to the top of the tower. So then you have the option of opening a locked door with a large key. Of course, large keys cost 300,000 so you probably won't get in for a while anyway because you have to build up all that money. There are 3 cages with 3 enemies that need powerful weapons to open.


I don't want to spoil anything, but if someone asks you to spare his life, do it. He will give you a powerful weapon. But don't do it twice because it will mess up your game. There's also a really powerful guy named Ryth that comes to fight you if you have a Solar Trans weapon and have beaten MX Goliath. The Solar Trans energy weapons is just a long way of saying light saber. They are weak but they multiply a gems power by 10 which would make it the most powerful weapon in the game.


There is one for each class: heavy, light, and duel. I'm really excited about Infinity Blade Dungeons. It's not in the same format as Infinity Blade though. It's a dungeon crawler with different graphics. It looks fun though. I've heard that its only for iPad 3 and 4. Is that true?









So there's the rundown on the Infinity Blade 2 and Dungeons. Hope you get it. Bye!

A week with Mario

Hey people's. Today I'm blogging on my week at Mario's house. Here it goes.

One of the most fun things was going to a pinball session at some place with Mario. They had a lot of cool machines. My favorite was Pinbot because you had to hit the top till a wall came down and revealed his eyes. If you got a ball in both his eyes you got multiball.


That was Mario's favorite too. They were also an Adam's Family one, a Monster Mash one, and one called Attack from Mars that were really cool. Mario has a hulk pinball machine in his basement.


His highscore was around 400,000. Mine was around 100,000. Mario taught me things though, so I'm getting better.

Sophia liked to play with me too. A few days in and she was operating my itouch. She would get in her plastic tricycle and I would push her. She pointed and said Aaaaada to where she wanted to go in the house. One time I was teaching her animal sounds and taught her a horse says neigh. She pointed to her stuffed horse and said Nnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkk!!!!!! It was the scariest horse ever.

At Mario's house I saw Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, the sequel, Road Warrior, Dude Where's my Car, and Highlander.


My favorites were Road warrior and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. You can expect some reviews of them later. Did you know they are gonna make a Highlander reboot with Ryan Reynolds? Rebecca made some really good food too, especially the chicken sandwiches.

I had a lot of fun at Mario's house. And learned that felbicarb means junk in the Battlestar Gallatica language. Bye!

Grammy and gramps

Hi people's. Today I'm writing a blog on my week long trip to Grammy and Gramps. Here we go.



So I went to my Grandparent's house for a week. And yes, of course I had chores. Throughout the week I had to write a report on Martin Luther King Jr. We went to Cunningham falls too. Gramps and I go to a park too.



When gramps and I go to the park we go to Mr wizard's park. We call it that because Mr wizard who is a television guy went there. We play football, Bad mitten, frisbee and sometimes we play in the playground. We take water breaks too. Afterwards sometimes we go for ice cream. Grammy, Gramps, and I went to Cunningham Falls. It was really fun we explored the trail in the woods and explored the falls.



I saw Madagascar 3, Brave, and Spider-man. Madagascar 3 was ok. Brave was pretty good and it was funny. But Spider-man was the best. I saw that a second time. I got 2 books and a Nerf gun. The books were called Tunnels and Wereworld. The Nerf gun I got was the elite Rampage! It's my first N strike elite gun and is my primary now in Nerf wars replacing the vortex Nitron.



So it was really fun spending time with my grandparents. Also my dad bought me the game Dark knight Rises so expect a rundown on that soon. Bye!



Sorry for no pictures Gramps we were having tech problems.
