Fire Dance

Here is a song that I am going to play with my String Ensemble group. We are going to play three songs in a compeition, and it is a district wide competition and many orchestra groups are performing. There are three medals, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Whoever gets the Gold gets to play at Symphony Hall!

This song is called Fire Dance:
Our version of Fire Dance is adapted, so this might not be the version that we will play. This is the general song, though. 

Comment with what you think! I personally like it very much. It is actually easier to play than it sounds!!

Happy New Year

    Welcome, 2012! I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season/winter break! As for me, I went to Los Angeles for Christmas. The time difference in between Boston and LA is three hours, so I was waking up every morning at 5:30 because my automatic body alarm is around 8:00-8:30. That took some getting use too. The weather when we stepped out of the airport was seventy degrees. The whole week was in the seventies. My uncle has a pool, but it was too cold to swim in, although he did go in once.
    The highlight of my vacation was visiting with my uncle's two new dogs, whom we haven't seen before. They were so cute, and they were so little. Here's a picture:

The one one the left is Bugsy, the male, and the other one is Pinky, the female. 

They were really small, so we got used to their size, and Zeiss look extra huge when we got back. We also saw the movie Mission Impossible; Ghost Protocol in the theater, on Sunday and it was really good! I liked it.

    Right now, I am up in Maine, and my brother's thirteenth birthday is today, so we are celebrating that. This weekend, we have seen School of Rock, The King;'s Speech, and tonight we are going to see Super 8. I forgot my disc of Pretty Little Liars two hours away at home (I still can't believe that I forgot it!) so we couldn't watch that this weekend.

Have a Happy New Year!

SO CUTE OMGOMG!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

I can believe that another year has come around and Thanksgiving is here! I also can't believe that last year at this time, I didn't have my dog yet (It has been a great year with Zeiss=]).

Anyway, yesterday was the eighth annual Turkey Trot up here in Maine, and it is a three-mile fun run! I did it last year, too.

I am finally catching up on PLL (pretty little liars) first season, and I am hooked! Last night I saw Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides, and it was really good. The mermaids were creepy, though.

In the process of drinking Egg Nog, listening to Christmas music, and watching mom make Danish pastries (Raspberry and Lemon Curd). YUM!

Space Battleship Yamato

-This post will go in the Books/Movies section-

SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO
(This movie was actually a japanese anime cartoon when my dad was growing up. It used to be called Star Blazers)
This movie has English subtitles, because it is originally in Japanese, but the English version is avalible.
The year is 2199 and the Earth is under attack by extraterrestrials called Gamilas. They are polluting the Earth with doses of radiation, and the surviving population has moved underground. The last hope is Space Battleship Yamato, to set off on a voyage to planet Iskandar, to take a machine that eliminates radiation. They have one year, or else the surviving population will be  eliminated forever, and Earth will never be green again. Will this work? Or will it be the end for Earth?
