Comic strips

Hello today I'm gonna talk about some comic strips. Every day I read 11 comic strips.
Here it comes.

The Argyle Sweater



Bloom County



The 11 comics I read are Pearls Before Swine, Lio, Calvin and Hobbes, Dog eat Doug, Cul de sac, Get Fuzzy, Bloom County, Foxtrot, Foxtrot classics, Brewster Rockit, and the Argyle Sweater. Pearls before swine is about a not so bright pig, a smart goat, a normal zebra, dumb crocodiles who are always after zebra, and a wisecracking mean rat. Lio is about a 10 year old boy who is a mad scientist and is always participating in the supernatural. Calvin and Hobbes is about a 6 year old boy with his stuffed tiger named Hobbes who is always having imaginary adventures. Dog eat Doug is 2 unseperable friends a dog and a baby.

Brewster rokit



Get fuzzy



Cul de sac is about 2 siblings who live In a court with all there friends. Get fuzzy is about a dumb dog, a cat who who thinks he superior to everyone and there owner living in a apartment. Bloom county is my favorite and it is about 2 young boys a guy in a wheelchair, a loud mouthed lawyer, a young hacker, a penguin, and a occasionally dead communist cat who barfs a lot. Foxtrot is about a family who are always messing with each other. Brewster rockit is a funny sci fi strip about the Captain of a spaceship. Lastly Argyle Sweater is a mix of everything else.

Foxtrot



Cul de sac



I like the art a lot too. My favorite art is Bloom County's also. I like It because you can tell almost exactly what the characters like by the art. I like Lio's second. Mostly because he makes really complex art with lots of details.

Calvin and hobbes



So I like reading comic strips a lot on my iPod from the Internet. I get them from Gocomics. You can get more I sometimes read from dailyink. Here are the links.

Nerf Weapons

Hi today I'm going to continue on my blog on nerf weapons. I'm also including a bow and a gun I forgot to mention last blog. Here it goes!

So my favorite nerf weapon is a double sword I got for Christmas. You take 1 sword
And slide the bumps into the notches and then you twist it and the bumps pop into holes to make a double sword. To open it you push in the bumps and twist and pull. My second favorite is the klaw hatchet. I like it because you can throw it from a distance like a tomahawk. I also have marauder long swords and a mace.











One of my favorite launchers is the faux bow. Faux is pronounced fo. It is suposed to be a bow but is more like a crossbow. You can load the blue holder at the top with arrows with the foam down. Next put a arrow on the yellow part, hold the handle below the arrow, and use your other hand to pull back the slider with 2 fingers. Let go to fire.


I hope to get the Warlock ax. It is a long double bladed ax. I played with it once and it's really cool. I also hope to get a new nerf blaster. It is a 3 in one and even has a rocket launcher.





So I hope you liked my nerf arsenal. My 5 year old brother even got a nerf shield and a knife the same time I got the mace.


I wonder why? :D by!

Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer

Hi today I'm gonna write about Huckleberry Fin and Tom Sawyer. I'm sure you've heard of them. Here it goes!


So Huckleberry Fin begins where Tom Sawyer and him just found 12 thousand dollars that was hid there by an outlaw named Injun Joe. Also Huck got adopted by a old woman who he saved from being tortured. Huck gets tired of living a civilized life though. Unfortunately soon his drunk and abusive father comes back to town and locks him away In a cabin out in the woods. So Huck fakes his own death and escapes to live along the Mississippi.



I like how there out in the wild for a while and that's cool. I like Tom Sawyer a little bit better than Huckleberry Fin. Tom Sawyer I like a little more because he's just a boy having adventures in his back yard. Huckleberry Fin is a little more about a boy becoming a man. I like both though.


In Tom Sawyer he is just a boy who wants to have fun. He has a wild imagination. He also has lots of adventures. I love how he has to go by the book no matter how hard it is. It is a great story.



My grandparents got me this and I liked it a lot. I like the way Mark Twain uses different ways of talking with different people. I would of put in spoiler alerts but I don't think I need to on a 130 year old books. :D Bye!

Science fair

Hi today I'm going to tell you about the science fair. Recently I had to make a science project for my school science fair. It was a little fun but stressful.






I had just finished the social studies fair. I'm in honors classes though so they made me do both fairs. The science fair was right after! Personally I don't think we should have to do that just because I think it can be to stressful. I did go through and do both fairs though.


My science project was called Make Your own Lightning. First rub the plate on a wool blanket. With it you took a pie pan with a pencil for a handle and set it on a styrofoam plate. Next move your hand towards the pie pan and you will feel a shock. I used a pin to anchor the pencil. It was a little fun.



Finally my sceince project got 1rst place! I even went to county. I didnt like it though because you had to wait during a 3 hour period until your number gets called. Unfortunately I didn't place their though. It was funny though because one kid had the same project I had last year! Surprisingly my science project got 1st place and my social studies fair project only got 3rd but I thought that one was better than my science project.

Me at the county science fair at Martinsburg High School.


So I finally finished my projects. Here you go the thing everybody's waiting for!!!... Yes my sisters still to scared to do any projects. Although next here she'll have to.

Nerf Guns



Hi everybody Today I'm gonna write about my Nerf guns. Sorry I haven't made a blog in a while. You should expect more pouring in soon though!



First of all here are some of my favorites. My all time favorite (not including the vortex blasters or guns I don't have) Is the barricade rv-10. My friend steve gave me it for my birthday remember? It is a chunky pistol that holds 10 darts and has a motor. So you load the gun, shut the unjamming slide at the top. Do this because it won't run if it's open. Then flip the switch to start the motor and every time you pull the trigger it shoots. You don't even have to cock it between shots.


I like fast reliable guns. My second favorite is the Vulcan it can hold 24 darts and it is a bulky machine gun with a chain in it that holds the darts. It even has a tripod like a sentry gun. My grandparents got me this one.


Now I'll talk about my vortex guns. The vortex guns is a new brand of Nerf guns that shoot small discs instead of darts.





I have the proton and the vigilon.





The proton holds one disc. The vigilon holds 5. On the proton you pull back the slide in the back with your finger and you put a disc in. Next use your thumb to flip the switch so the slide comes back in and fire it.


With the vigilon flip the switch to make a slide come down put the discs in and shut it. Then you can shoot 2 discs cock it shoot 2 more cock it and shoot the last one.


I hope to get soon the praxis. Which is a bigger gun that holds a lot of discs.



Soon I hope to get the swarm fire and the sniper gun.





The swarm fire guns are two handed and shoots 20 darts and is a machine gun. I like it because it's a small quick machine gun. The sniper gun is a big gun with a scope that can shoot long distances. Lastly I hope to get the new laser tag guns!



So I really like to play with my nerf guns. My brother and sister like to play with me with them too. Bye peoples!

Hi today I'm going to blog on a movie called Dante's Peak.






Dante's peak is a 1997 disaster movie about a volcano. Me and my family saw it last weekend. My 5 year old brother did not though because he is still to young to watch.


WARNING SPOILER



The movie starts out 4 years earlier in the middle of an disaster area where Harry dalton the vulcaniaist is trying to escape with his partner but a lava rock crashes through the roof of her car and kills her. 4 years later Harry travels to Dante's peak a high tourist attraction next to a volcano. He thinks it's going to blow but nobody believes him. When the volcano blows up enormously and they get trapped on the mountain. They have to get down before the toxic gas, explosions, ash, lava, inertia shock waves, earthquakes, and falling boulders the size of a truck hurtling through the air.


Dante's peak is a great action and suspense movie. Bye

Infinity blade 2


Hi everybody Today I'm going to write about infinity blade 2!!






Sorry I couldn't do one sooner but the game had a bug that made you start over every time you went into the game. So I was going crazy over not being able to play it.






Here are some of the perks of the game differing from the first game. Now instead of just sword and shield you have the option of getting double swords or a heavy axe/mace/hammer. When you have 2 blades instead of a shield button there's a duck button that makes it so you can dodge sideways attacks. You can still parry though. Also if you do a combo hit (which is 3 hits such as 1 left 1 right and 1 left again you can have an attack that does double damage. With 2 swords you can keep having powerful hits after you combo. With the heavy weapon. You use the weapon to block to the sides and instead of the shield button you block up to block up or down attacks. Also of you hit twice in the same direction you can make a big move.





Before you buy the game make sure you get infinity blade awakening the book. It is the story of what happens between infinity blade 1 and 2.


Here is my favorite items that you can wear.

Obsidian


Bramble


Gelder



The hole



Longshot



Averian plate



Souless circle



Here are some of the coolest enemies you can fight.








I love infinity blade 2. There's one part where you're about to fight the boss and this tiny little weak guy comes up to you and starts bragging about how he's gonna rip the flesh from you're bones and then CRASH a fifty foot sword drops through his chest and a huge black and gold winged demon dropped down. He kicked my but. This time instead of it being a bloodline it each rebirth where you come back to life because you find out you're immortal and in the first game you lost you're memory each time and got younger.
