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.

Scoop Yourself

  I got back late last Sunday night from Honduras, and I have delayed blogging until now. But there hasn't been any earth shattering news recently. My trip was absolutely amazing, I think I will post some pictures when I get them on the computer.
  Today on the Odyssey scoop it was announced that there will be a contest called, scoop yourself. What you need to do to win is come up with the most creative way of displaying your Odyssey collection. If you win you will get a copy of  "The Green Ring Conspiracy." I think I will give it a try even though I don't have any ideas.
  I will hopefully be posting my thoughts on "The Green Ring Conspiracy" soon, without any spoilers.

Goodbye (for a little while)

  I will be gone for a while, on Wednesday I am leaving on a mission trip to Honduras, I will be gone for about 10 days. I am really starting to get nervous. I am going without either of my parents, I have never gone anywhere without them for this long. And considering it's not a "have fun" trip I bet I will be uncomfortable. So I would really appreciate it if you would pray for me.
  I gave in, I bought the, "The Green Ring Conspiracy" to listen to on the plane, but I am saving it until then. I will still be around until Wednesday night but I won't be posting anything until at least February 20. I just hope there isn't any amazing news while I am gone. Goodbye everyone.

My opinions about,"When Your Right Your Right" and the Exiting Announcement!

 Album 53 is now available to download! Many Odyssey fans will be able to hear album 53 a month early! I was actually disappointed about this news because I would really like to have the real album 53, but I would also love to hear it now. I could buy both, then I would spend double the money, but I still have birthday money to spend.
I am going to post some of my thoughts on a few of the album 51 episodes that I have some opinions about. I will start off today with, "When Your Right Your Right."
  I have a few moral problems with this episode, and I never thought that I would say that about and Odyssey episode. In the first scene it amazed me how rude Emily was being to her dad. It was crazy; she

was saying stuff under her breath and then when her dad would ask her what she said she would respond by saying, "Oh nothing!" And she was never corrected for it.
  I don't like the line when Emily is changing the card with Matthew and says, "That's not what a girl wants, a girl wants romance." What kind of a ten year old girl is thinking about romance? When I was ten I barley knew what romance was!
  In the scene where Emily and Matthew are watching Barrett give the card to Priscilla, this is what Emily says, "Look at that hug she's giving him! This feels good Matthew, this feels really good." That is by far not what I would be saying if I saw my brother hugging some girl.
 But on a more positive note I loved the sound of this episode. The music was really good and when Mr. Jones was calling Barrett and Emily down for dinner, it sounded really like he was calling them from down stairs. And Barrett's performance was much better than his previous one.
