it's thanksgiving apparently.

so in the last post, angela talked about how no one cares that it's going to be thanksgiving next 
week.well that's a lie, because there's this new video that came out that you might of heard of, by the makers of that other video you might have heard of: "friday". yep. this time the song is called "it's thanksgiving" and is sung by another child who thinks she's going to become a pop star whose name is nicole westbrook. not only has this guy aka that producer patrice wilson, wrote a song that taught me the days of the week, but has now also taught me all of the holidays   all in a autotuned tween pop "song". EDUCATIONAL! so maybe it's a little bit better than friday, but it still contains the same bad grammar, lyrics that are just plain stupid, and a video that makes no sense whatsoever. 

so for example here are some of the many reasons why this doesn't make any sense. first off, WHY DOES SHE ENJOY THANKSGIVING SO MUCH? i don't think any child is actually going "oh my god, did you know thanksgiving is my all time favorite holiday ever? i just love it so so so so much, let's go decorate for it!" no! sure there might be someone but i'm pretty sure the majority of kids aren't going to say they think thanksgiving is their favorite holiday. also, why is she cooking the entire thanksgiving feast/meal alone. without any parents. in a silent house. and the lyrics confuse me too. is she saying "turkey AYE mashed potatoes AYE" or egg? or eh? i honestly don't know. then we go back to "friday" with the "we we we" lyrics. after that the video goes to these other clips, where for some reason she is throwing parties for every major holiday with her friends with no parents. she's like 10. is she a rich orphan or something? and then this is where it's actually funny, a strange middle age man just comes out of nowhere at all of these parties and starts singing. who is he?! what is he doing there? OH whoa. that's that guy who was driving that car in friday. oh that's the producer? blame his face for this video. ok and then the doorbell rings for her thanksgiving...party.. and he's there again IN A TURKEY COSTUME. why would she let him in? under any condition would you let a grown man in a turkey costume into your house. and then she starts rapping. oh.my. gravy (that made no sense). ok the lyrics are "can't be hateful, gotta be gratefu;. mashed potatoooess" ooh. that was..deep....even her "friends" look horrified. and the guy. yeah he's sitting there still dressed like a turkey eating TURKEY happily., with these..kids. and then nicole sings into a turkey drumstick. yes.  then it finally ends.

well then.

so i don't know what to say about this video. so i guess you can watch it. or not. or you can go watch a video of a llama. (i recommend the llama) 

don't forget to comment below your reactions to the video or something like that!

goodbye my mermaid friends,
sena

ps. you know that time when you walk home and there's a mustache car in your driveway? it happened

the voice.

 so i will let you know i don't exactly like reality tv shows or competitions.  but i do make an exception for the voice, the sing off (when it was still alive.) and maybe some cooking show or something. anyways i haven't watched any episodes of the season 3 blind auditions yet at all, because i'm busy, and i have no idea what's going on except i did watch one clip of melanie martinez (who did the best "toxic" rendition ever. she's the next dia framps or lindsey pavao for sure.) . but i read a recap on the voice, and was super surprised to read off some names i recognized. 

1. Jordan Pruitt
oh my. disney fans you out there?! anyone remember the read it and weep days? or jump in with keke palmer and corbin bleu? so if you remember that, do you remember the singer jordan pruitt? she used to be my all-time favorite singer like ever in 3rd and 4th grade. i remember memorizing all the lyrics to my shoes or jump to the rhythm, and listening to the permission to fly album a billion times. im not really sure why i liked her so much, but i really liked her until i forgot about her. so back to the voice. i find out now that not only is she alive and still singing but is on The Voice on team xtina. what?

REMEMBER THIS? 

2.Cassadee Pope. 

In like 5th grade, I learned about Hey Monday and was listening to their album nonstop. i tried to tell people about it but they just thought it was weird. Well LOOK AT HER NOW! apparently she's on the voice too. and 4 judges turned. and in 7th grade she was even in a video we watched in health! but still even then no one knew about her. i don't like her as much anymore. but still. you get my point.

REMEMBER THIS?

3. Leila Broussard

i've been a big fan of leila broussard, for a couple years now. i think that she is the most amazing singer and songwriter and the entire masquerade album is so good. and i used to be seriously obsessed with the song satellite. anyways as you can tell from this whole post, she's on the voice too. which im sad because i can't say i'm the only person who knows (not that i am or anything), but im happy that she can gain new fans in the voice process.

anyways looks like im going to have to watch the voice because it looks extremely interesting all of a sudden. i still can't get over the whole jordan pruitt thing. man, i was such a big fan... back in the day like 200 years ago. 

well that's all for now. 

love, sena
ps. remember when angela posted the call me maybe in chinese video? guess what? in chinese class we have to make a music video to it. seriously. no joke. 

movie review

woah there sena, that was a lot of words you typed there on this blog. i am truly amazed (:

ok so, THE LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!!!!!!!

the 1st movie has been our for a few years and up until now i never saw any of the movies.

~the reason why? you ask? : since it was called lord of the rings, i thought it had something to do with wrestling like a wrestling ring type thing so...yeah

  BUT now that i know it is a fantasy type awesome movie  like Harry Potter, Narnia, Inkheat, etc.

So after watching it in 2012, i have decided to rate it on Sena's suggestion. I'm gonna try to make it looke very professional-like.

 I would give  this movie a  ★★★★★ out of 5 stars  

It had great special effects, characters, as well as intense music.

If I had a word to describe it, it would be EPIC.I would like to point out that i rarely use the word epic because there are only a few thins I find that fit the criteria of the connotative meaning of the word epic.

( its dictionary definiton is basically a long poem dedicated to heroes or gods.) I feel that Elijah Wood did a wonderful job as the leading character and really portrayed a great interpretation on Frodo's behavior. My favorite part of the movie was of course when Gandolf showed great bravery when yelling " YOU SHALL NOT PASS! "

thats all for now on the review

Oh yeah and earlier today I made a connection to the lord of the rings: I was at my house when I hit my head on a chandelier and said " I feel like Gandolf at Bilbo's house! "

Later on I will write a review on the book (:

seeya!

PS. by the way it is like 1:31 in the morning right now and i'm wide awake and can't sleep ): pooey, I guess I will just listen to the songwide awake

now since I'm wide awake (:

archery.

so archery is seriously going up the popularity ranks. which is pretty impressive considering it is a sport that dates back to a long long long time ago, all the way back to stone spears. and to those who were like "i was into archery before it was cool.", i will give you a standing ovation. because i completely totally cannot be one of these "cool" archers. even under the circumstances where a professional superstar archer/ katniss/ merida was training me, i would still like shoot myself or someone in the face and then the arrow would get lost in the ocean somewhere. yep, im that clumsy. but back to the archery comeback. let's see how archery has recently affected pop culture. 

for the most recent happenings, the Olympics! the sport of archery, thanks to The Hunger Games, has risen in popularity. Jennifer Lawerence AKA katniss everdeen's shooting skills were thanks to coaching by 5 time olympian, Khatuna Lorig, who trained her for the movie. And today Lorig advanced to Round 8 in the games! 

Now into the magic of movies. Archery's role in movies is the main reason behind it's so crazy popular.  There's The Hunger Games (which  i hope you know about. you should.) causing teens to pull their hair into braids and take up archery at any cost. Then in Avengers, they featured Hawkeye, the superhero version played by Jeremy Renner (who btw is gonna be in Bourne Legacy). But the most recent and probably may be my favorite is Brave.

Brave, is Pixar's latest movie with their first female lead, Merida. Merida is a fiery and rebellious girl who doesn't want to follow the path that people want her to take or play by any of the rules. and i'm totally obsessed. She's determined, adventurous, has a cool horse, is totally KICK BUTT with bow and arrows, and has great hair. If only i could animate my hair to be like that and it would look good. It makes me wanna be a scottish princess, sigh.  The whole movie is classic Pixar with amazing animated landscapes , the awesomesauce characters, a pretty soundtrack with Birdy and Mumford & Sons (omigod heck YEAH.) and great plot. I saw this a couple weeks ago and was totally glued the whole time (which was expected, since im a pixar geek ) so if you haven't seen it GO NOW! JUST GO! (is it even still in theaters though?) 

that's all for now
