CreatureMaster's Travels

back to blogging

2006-07-13T17:02:00.000-05:00

Okay, I know I haven't updated in a while, but I've been real busy lately. What with the softball and the get-togethers and the hanging out, guh, flavin. Sorry, I was having a Frink moment there.(And by that, I mean Professor Frink for all you non-Simpsons watchers!) Anyway......I saw Pirates Of The Carribbean 2 tuesday night with Sam. It was a good movie, but it was very long(over 2 and a half hours), which made it very hard to follow. Apparently, one of the paper's local critics thought so too, gave it 2 and a half stars. I would've given it three, because of two factors, the acting, which was very good, and the special effects, which were incredible. Davy Jones(played by Bill Nighy?, is that his name?) and his crew looked like human- sea creature hybrids. Also, my sister lost her softball championship game last night, but she was okay with it. And now I have to go all the way out to another state for her tournament games on Fri. and Sat. The Fri. one starts at 6:30, and the sat. one starts at 8 in the morning. But other than that, today i'm pretty bummed. For one thing my friend/neighbor Jonny is to Iowa till Tuesday to visit his brother and his grandma. Whoo-hoo. And another thing, I have less than five hours to watch three episodes of Farscape before I leave. Speaking of which, my local UPN station just switched to My Network TV(Fox's answer to the CW. Losers.)about,2 weeks ago. But the good news is they still show Farscape!1 Whoo-Hoo!(Homer voice.) Well, gotta go. My dad's home. See ya.

sam's birthday

2006-07-05T20:11:00.000-05:00

Today was my friend Sam's birthday. I called him but he hasn't called me back. And these two girls who i don't like but are his friends wrote a knock-off of Green Day's "Wake me up when September Ends" just for him. Sheesh. In other news(Kent Brockman voice) I think Robot Chicken's 2nd season ended. had some good sketches including my 2 favorites,"Rhymes for Borkw/The Swedish Chef"(who, incoincidentally, is one of the best Muppets ever!) and "8 Carrot" which had Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in a rap battlew/ Daffy Duck(wahoo, wahoo, wahoo, waheeooo) as MC, and Porky Pig as DJ Bacon-Bits.(P-P-P-P-Put your hands in the air, and wave him like you j-j-j-j-just don't care. He-he-he-haaaaa.) Great show. Can't wait for next season!(End Kent Brockman voice) 2 things, though, I noticed Matt Murton looks a lot like Seth Green(creator of the show), and,I wish they would stop using Victor Yerrid for the Muppet voices in the Muppet spoofs. I mean, he's already taken over Statler from Steve Whitmire in From The Balcony, (great Muppet project), so why let him take over every other one's voice in Robot Chicken. It's wrong, just plain wrong!! I mean it! If anyone from Disney is reading this, stop it!!! Brimg back Whitmire, Dave Goelz(who does Waldorf), Bill Baretta(who does Pepe, and well, everyone else, on From The Balcony), and don't replace the Muppeteers.(If you want to vote against this, go to Save the Muppets.com.) And, speaking of Muppets, today,I found out that 2 Muppet books are to be written, What Elmo Taught Me, by Kevin Clash, and A Frog's life by, we assume, Kermit the Frog. Plan to get both of them. And Late Night Buffet, Henson's new late-night talk showw/ Brian Henson and Baretta as the main performers, will air on TBS. The pilot will be taped live on the 22nd. Wish I could go, but IT'S IN CALIFORNIAAAAA!!!!! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that's about it. Now to watch the latest From The Balcony!!!!(Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!) With the fake performers. BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I mean Whitmire and Goelz aren't dead or retired, so why replace them before that happens!!! Huh!!!!!!!! Restore the Muppeteers, Disney!!!!! Restore them!!!!!

back again

2006-07-01T11:51:00.000-05:00

My dad's last day of work was yesterday. It's not that he's getting fired, he's starting a new job at this company that makes seals and gaskets(whatever those are). So we went out to dinner to celebrate, then came home and watched The Incredible Mr. Limpet. It's not that bad of a movie, plus it's with Don Knotts, who(was) one of the funniest comic actors alive. And today, I had to dig for sprinkler heads. Our system's been on the brink for the last year-and-a-half?, and now it's acting weird. Went to a mummies thing at the library yesterday. It was pretty fun. So,I'm just hanging out right here, in my house, trying to watch Farscape. But the VCR's not hooked up, but there's two more in this house, so it's all good. And my friend just invited me to go downtown next Tuesday, which I am. And now, as of Thursday, I've played all three Sly games. I own Sly 2, and I'm going to buy Sly 1 with one of my Best Buy gift cards from Christmas,long with the Dark Crystal, one of Jim Heson's greatest works ever!As for Sly 3, I'll just ask for it for my birthday/Christmas, along with a DS and some games for that, most notably New Super Mario Bros, which, I've heard, is awesome!!!!!!! See ya.

finally a update

2006-06-28T13:08:00.000-05:00

Hello again. Sorry i haven't updated in a while, i've beenkind of busy. (in stewie voice)So, here's what's been going on with me, finished Raiders of the lost ark, been sleeping in till 10 and,um, that about covers it. (end stewie voice)Actually, it doesn't. I tried Sly 3:Honor Among Theives for the first time yesterday. IT ROCKS!!!!!!!! It is the best game ever!!!!! And good news for all you muppet fans out there, Sesame Workshop is releasing a box set of classic Sesame Street material!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In October!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No word on wether or notit will be actual uncut episodes or skits, but it'sgonna be cool! I might buy it, i don't know. Sesame Street's probably the Muppet production i watch least, although i have been catching more and more of it since summer started. it's not that i'm hooked on it, i'm just trying to figure out how they build the puppets. I think I might try and make Oscar pretty soon. See ya. Oh yeah, another thing i like,Family Guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's one of the best shows ever!!!!!! Here's a Family Guy pic.See ya(again)

fun friday

2006-06-23T21:09:00.000-05:00

My cousin Katie came over today. We saw Garfield 2, which wasn't all that bad, but I don't know why they had Tim Curry(who voiced the british Garfield look-alike) not appear in the opening credits. It's really weird. So I'm practiceing my baritone, but i had to stop because my dad was on the phone. Now he's off, so I can practice again. See ya.

Very annoyed

2006-06-21T15:07:00.000-05:00

Well, this week so far has been okay, except my dad now has to have his kidneystones blasted, and they finally took him in. And now my mom's making our friend come and take us to our house even though we(me, my sister, and my cousin) are perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves!!! SO in this last half-hour before i'm sentenced to drive away in the largest van in the world, i'm just chillin', hanging out, think i might go practice my baritone, i don't know. Oh, and here's a pic to show you how much i love Farscape. See ya.

Father's day

2006-06-18T22:49:00.000-05:00

Today was Father's Day. My mom & sister made a cake for my dad. And we gave him a swimsuit. Other than that, things were the same as ever. Well, not exactly. We had a combined service with this Nigerian church tonight, which was pretty strange. And I started watching Raiders of the Lost Ark with my dad last night, but given the time, we probably won't have time to watch it tonight. It is a very good movie though.Very,very good. See ya.

The end of a long, hard week.

2006-06-17T13:47:00.000-05:00

Hi everybody! How's it going? Well, my week's been kind of tiring. My mom had surgery which I had to get up at 4 in the morning for.(And I visited her in the hospital several times before she came home, which was yesterday!!!!!Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!) I had to pick my sister up from camp, which I had to get up at 6:00 for. But, on the bright side, I got back to work on my fox puppet today. (I glued the nose on.) And I finally got caught up on Farscape. Yeah, I know it's in syndication, but i still watch it every week. Best show ever!!!!!! Well, see ya, CreatureMaster. P.S., Hope you like the cartoon. I know it's my first post, but I wanted to post something funny. See ya!
