The Spiderwick Chronicles

So, I'm going to keep it short becuase Kayleigh may be back any moment and then we're going to watch AVATAR!!! Woohooo!

So, The Spiderwick Chronicles: it was very good. I would totally go see it again and now I'm curious about the books. I'd like to at least get the first one and read it, see how it is in comparison to the movie. But, yeah, it was very good. There was one part that I especially liked, and I totally wigged out when it happened becuase. . . .I WANT A GRIFFIN!!! First The Pinhoe Egg and now Spiderwick Chronicles, I want a griffin! They're so cool!

Okay, er, that's about it. Back to school after a lovely trip to Zion National Park in which all of our favorite hikes were closed due to falling snow and Mastah got sick. But, it was still fun and I had a blast. We did this one hike to an overlook of Zion Canyon in the dark. It was quite the adventure, and I admit I was a little nervous. Even though there was an almost-full moon, there was some snow and ice on the ground and that made me nervous. It did bring back memories of this one hike called Robber's Roost, in which we hiked in the dark, just by starlight, for almost an hour before finding a suitable campsite.

And then the full moon came out, making everything as bright as noon and totally waking us up (us being me, Dad, Chris, Paul, and Cassie). Good times good times.

Well, yeah, that's about all. . . .*meanders off*

Francis? What is that? A mine? Why would you want a mine? Why would you want to blow up the swimming pool?

Rupert is getting smelly, put wouldn't a hose work better? No? You need the equivalent of an olympic size swimming pool to clean Rupert?

You have a point there. . . .

WHALES!!!!

So yesterday, Kayleigh and I went to Lin's to get groceries. Both of us were in desperate need of milk and bread, and we needed to get supplies for Mopey Monday tomorrow. So, we went to Lin's. While we were walking around I spotted a box of crackers. They were whales crackers! Like the Goldfish crackers. You know, the smile-at-you-until-you-bite-off-their-heads goldfish crackers. BUT THEY WERE WHALES!!!

I had no choice but to buy them. And, they are so tasty and fun to eat. They totally beat goldfishies! I like eating whales!

We also walked through the toy section and I spotted a slingshot. So now I have a slingshot. I just need to make or find ammo to shoot at people. >:D

And, on top of that, I have four anime shows that I am currently watching:
Avatar: The Last Airbender
The Get Backers
Cowboy Bebop
and now Full Metal Alchemist.

Joy, anuzzer good friend here in Cedar city, was throwing a chinese new year party and we watched the first four episodes of Full Metal Alchemist. She had wanted me to watch it for quite a while now, but I never had time. Now I will have to make time. It's way good! I like it a lot!

*sigh* The things I get myself into.

Wow. . . .

I wrote for one and a half hours and got three and a half pages written.

Now, I'm going to read.

I Did that on Purpose

So, in my intro to poetry class we read a poem, and in that poem was the word "shiny". Well, in reading that poem (yes, I read a poem. Don't die of a heart attack please, I don't want to be charged with murder just yet) I realized that the title of my blog is obviously spelled wrong. Yeah, when I first started it someone--I think it was Chris--pointed out that Shiney didn't have an 'e' in it. I originally spelled it "shiney" becuase, I admit, I thought that was how it was spelled.

Yeah, Chris, or whoever, was right.

So, one day I decided to correct that little misspelling. I went in and changed it to "Oh! It's Shiny!" and then fixed my little sub-header. Then I saved it and took a good look at it.

It looked weird. So, I changed it back to Shiney. It looks better that way. "Shiny" looks more like "Shinny." As in, let's shinny on over to that blog because it's purposefully spelled wrong. So, yeah, yes its misspelled but I like it so deal with it.

It looks better as Shiney, and, if I was even in charge of spelling words that's how I would spell it.

>:D

I got Avatar book 2 today. . . .

But, Kayleigh's still at class, so I guess I'll do some laundry. And be somewhat productive. And get more clothes to wear. Because I'm almost out of. . .clothes to wear. Might as well do that while waiting for Kayleigh.

Hmmm, but would we watch the Get Backers or Avatar? Two great anime/cartoons. That's a hard choice. . . .

*notices Winston* Winston! Stop trying to get into a psychological disscussion on the number 42 with Buddha! He's a statue for crying out loud!

Winston, Francis, and. . . .

RUPERT!!

The last billy goat has been named! Thanks to Mandi and her spetacular list of British names, Rupert now has a name!

It was between Rupert or Victor, but Rupert won. I had been actually looking for a name like that, but I kept thinking Remy. I didn't choose Remy, however, because I said to myself, "Self, Remy is the rat from Ratatouille. People would get them confused. I need something else."

So, hence, I now have Winston, Francis, and Rupert.

And I'm still working on that picture. . .I just don't have a camera and I keep forgetting to ask Chris if I can borrow his.

And, I've decided Thursdays are my favorite day of the week for two reasons:

1) No Chemistry. At all. No labs. No lecture. None.
2) I have yoga. I don't consider it a class becuase it's so relaxing

Not to mention, I have Institute in the morning and then a three hour break to do homework and whatnot before going to yoga. The one downside is that I have work right after yoga, so I basically have to race home, get a quick dinner, throw on work clothes, and then run out the door again. But, still, I like Thursdays.

Thursday's are Friday Eve's too, which makes it even better!

*gets distracted* Rupert! Go take a bath!
