Album 54 cover

            It would be hard for any of you to have not seen the pictures of the cover art for album 54, but I will share it anyway. I was a bit disappointed after album 53, which had such details in the background and in the characters. In the picture on the left you can see that at the bottom it looks very unfinished. I don't look on the kids faces or the funny looking whit in the background. But because this is just our first look at the cover I have the feeling that there will be more details added later.

And to the right is another picture of album 54 with the non-official border around it. It looks a lot better with the border, I think it will work even though I was expecting something more to the quality of album 53.

"The Green Ring Conspiracy Part 2" Review

Summary:

Whit discovers that his visitor has a secret job that seems to be related to the backpack of money that Emily found. Matthew and Nelson get a surprise call from people with an interest in the Appleberry phone.

Review:

 The second episode of, "The Green Ring Conspiracy" starts out with the introductions of two characters, Buck Oliver and Mr. Skint. You can tell from the very beginning that they are both part of the green ring conspiracy, and although they are part of a scheme they are both great characters and I love their voices.

It is really sad that Whit knows so little about his Grandson it seems as though he would be a wonderful Grandpa which is the role that he plays to most of the kids in Odyssey. But I know it is hard as they live on separate sides of the country.

Detective Polehause seems as though he is very skeptical of everyone especially Jay's Uncle, who has evidently done something bad in the past.

It really didn't take long for this mystery to take us to Whit's End. Buck is already heading over there to find Matthew Parker and the Appleberry phone.

At this point we know that Mr. Skint, Buck and Dirk Beggs are on the bad side, while we cant quite tell about the other characters such as Detective Polehause, Monty Whittaker or Wally Hagler. It seems to be a pattern in Odyssey for characters who are assumed to be good to then turn to the wrong side. And all around with the suspense, question answering, acting, music, and new characters it was another amazing episode.

"The Green Ring Conspiracy Part 1" Review

Summary:

A plane crashes in Gower's Field and both Emily and Matthew make surprising discoveries nearby. Meanwhile, both Whit and Wally Haggler meet friends from the past.

Review:

 

  I was so surprised while hearing this episode, I did not expect the new season to sound so good!

  There were a few parts that seemed pointless. I didn't understand why they had to have the game fact or urban legend at the beginning or why Eugene needed to tell us about crashing a plane while it has nothing to do with the story.

  The overall sound of the episode was the best I have ever heard it was all around so good with the sound effects, acting, and music.

  I was so glad to hear Jay and his uncle all throughout the episode. Jay is starting to sound more and more less of a bully, but I don't mind that.

Connie is finally starting to go to collage! She did graduate 22 albums ago, I think it was about time. And I love the subject although she has never seemed to take an interest in art before.

  It is interesting how there are guns now in AIO, I don't think there is anything wrong with that back in the Blackgaard era they never used real guns.

  I have decided because the story is so long I will give it a rating at the end of the album. Thank you for reading.

Picture Day

Here are some pictures that I have taken within the last month.



  1. Contest entry- Yesterday was the last day to enter the Odyssey Scoop contest Scoop Yourself. The picture to the right is my entry.This literally took me hours to do!

Sasha

  2. Honduras- The following pictures are from my trip last February to Pena Blanca, Honduras.

  This is Sasha. He is a wild tame monkey. Does that make sense? Every one who lived there and thought that monkeys were every day occurrences didn't mind picking him up and treating him roughly. My cousin and I on the other hand were scared of him and he ended up chasing us a few times.

These plants were everywhere







My friend Maria

  It would be really hard to explain Maria but I will do my best. If I would describe her in two words I would say that she is loving and crazy. She was a thirteen year old girl who lived just outside of the Seventh-day Adventist compound where we were staying. The compound was also a orphanage and all of the kids living there were sponsored to go to the Seventh-day Adventist school. You really couldn't walk by her without her yelling, "Amiga" picking you up and swinging you around. I went to her house one day and it was literally made out of cardboard and sticks, she lived there with her sister Kenia.  The day that we were leaving she started sobbing and hugging me she told me through a woman who spoke both Spanish and English that she would love me forever.



I am holding a monkey!

I actually got the courage to hold Sasha!

 

3. Blossoms- My favorite part about February are the almond blossoms which are everywhere where I live.

My review for, "The Green Ring Conspiracy Part One," will be coming tomorrow, hopefully.

The Green Ring Conspiracy

  Last Friday, when I went to the Christian book store I looked at the AIO albums and was so surprised to see three "Green Ring Conspiracy" albums. I looked them over, held them and contemplated on buying one. I was overjoyed to hold one before they came out. It was funny because last year on March 1, I was calling to see if they had album 51 and I continued calling them every day until I got it on March 12. Now I have already listened to album 53 and it is in stores early when I don't need it to be. I decided to wait for a little while longer to but one, since I have already listened to it.
  I want to tell you all of my thoughts on the album but that would give away so many surprises to I will try to tell you what I thought of it without giving anything away.

•   I loved the returning character, and its voice
•   I was completely surprised at who the stilletto was
•   Most of the new characters were great, I hope we hear from them again
•   At the end I was left with a ton of questions, that's good and bad at the same time, it makes me want to listen to album 54
•   Over all I loved it

  That's all I think that I can tell you at the moment. I will be reviewing the first episode next week.
