Advent

I have a Lego Advent Calendar -- I can't wait to start opening the little windows!

A little bit of everything

My mom has a broken toe and a bad cold, so we had breakfast for dinner.

I did my money project at school today and I ROCKED. I had to design a school currency.

I got the Ultimate Collector's Edition of Brave on Blu Ray. I watched it this afternoon. It was even better than when I saw it in the theater!

One more day of school and then Thanksgiving break!!  On Thanksgiving day I'm going to watch the parade and go to Granny and Grandpa's house for Thanksgiving dinner. My mom is bringing green beans and pumpkin pies.

On Friday, PBS kids will be airing holiday specials of their shows. I can't wait for Arthur's Perfect Christmas!

A Visit to the Comic Book Shop

Over the weekend, I said to my mom, "I've never been to a comic book store in my whole life." So on Tuesday, we went to parent-teacher conferences (I got all As and 1 B!) and after that, we went to a comic book shop.

The comic books shop is called Aw Yeah! Comics. It was really great! They had all kinds of comics. They had The Simpsons, Sonic, Toy Story, Patrick the Wolfboy, lots of Marvel comics. They even had Archie Comics. My mom said she read those back when she was a kid. They had Futurama, Adventure Time -- they had them all! There were many paintings and illustrations on the wall. My favorite was a picture of Kermit and Fozzie at the back of the store. Another favorite of mine was a poster for the 1960s Batman TV series.

I had some money with me, so I bought a Simpsons Comic, a Sonic comic, a Toy Story comic and a Hot Wheels Batmobile. You get a lot for your money at the comic book store.

The comic book store was great, and I'd like to go back there someday!

Let's Go to the Movies!

I want to see Wreck-it-Ralph. It stars John C Reilly as the title character who is getting tired of being a villain and decides to become a hero. It was made by Disney and released last week gaining favorable reviews and was a box office success. One of the big highlights of the movie is that Sega's very own Sonic the Hedgehog makes multiple appearances in the film. I can't wait to see it! My mom says maybe this weekend.

Another movie I want to see if Frankenweenie, a film based on Tim Burton's 1984 live-action short of the same name. This is the first black and white stop-action film to be released in Imax 3-D! It follows the plot of the source material about a boy who brings his dog back from the dead after it is killed in an accident.

My brother Jack wants to see Lincoln, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Sally Field, which tells about the final 4 months about President Lincoln's life. It is directed by Steven Spielberg, the man behind many popular movies. We are big Lincoln fans in this house. We took a vacation to Springfield to see the Lincoln museum and Lincoln's tomb. On another vacation, we toured the Lincoln birthplace and boyhood homes in Kentucky and Indiana.  We used to have this plastic Lincoln head on a stick that you could control with your hand. We used to say to each other "Mr. Lincoln says..." in a deep voice when we wanted to get each others attention. Unfortunately, the string holding Mr. Lincoln's jaw together broke, so now his mouth is lopsided. He looks like drunk Mr. Lincoln.  I would like to get another Lincoln head someday
