Every Place Is a House

So what I did for the weekend was go back to my hometown Spring Lake. I really needed a weekend to just get away from everything and relax. I hung out with my boys just like old times and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I actually found the time to go to two movies this weekend! I saw Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas and Immortals. Both were good movies but they are both the types of movies that's not worth seeing again. At my friends' house, the productivity level is zero to none. Absolutely nothing goes down there but we still seem to find entertainment somewhere throughout our environment. I really wish weekends were longer so I had the chance to hang with my friends for a longer period of time.

Suck Your Blood For Fun

One of the genre's we were asked to analyze was the vampire genre. We watched about twenty minutes of Twilight and about thirty minutes of The Vampire Diaries. We were asked to have similarities and differences between the two clips that we saw. Some things I came up with was that the vampire was always the center of attention in both clips and most girls always seemed to find the vampire to be very attractive. As for the setting, it was a dark, spooky, shady, yet pale environment in both vampire viewings. The audience would start around the age of twelve and probably start losing people's interest around the age of 23. Some more things I found out is that the girl usually falls for the vampire and the vampire ends up being bad news. Two more things I've noticed about them both was that the vampires have unnatural superpowers like running super fast. Lastly I noticed the awkward tension between the girl and the vampire during their first encounter.

Fairytales Tell Tales

For one of our assignments we were required to make up a fairytale with the elements of common fairytale stories. Mine wasn't the most creative story but it did have all the essentials is was required to have. It was about these two kids, Conrad and Jade, an impenetrable duo that travel around New York City discovering new places and getting lost in the midst of their travels. Conrad hears about his new party store opening up and they're the only place with these famous blue chips. So they embark to get these famous blue chips and on their way there, they see a bag of the blue chips on the ground. As soon as Jade picks up the chips she begins to eat them and two men come out from the shadows and try to kidnap them. Conrad kicks one  of the shady guys' butt and jade unleashes this ice breathing superpower on the other shady man, leaving him a frozen block of ice. Both Jade and Conrad are astonished about what just happened. Jade explains that it must be the famous blue chips that made her breath ice. They run away from the crime scene and continue to go to that party store. It turns out that the famouse blue chips were never in existence and that Jade and Conrad were the only ones to ever try them.
