CONSTANCIA!

I'm sick. Headache, clogged nose and achey all over. I feel terrible so I'm posting. Anyway, I made a city online just now. Im calling it Constancia (don't ask, inside joke)
I took a picture of it:

Comment and tell me if you like it!

IScribble

I fund this on IScribble. A drawing website. When I looked through the gallery, this one struck me:

They drew this online. With a mouse. 

IM A WOOZY PERSON

Sorry, I feel really woozy and loose because I just got back from swimming at the YMCA. This is one unfair historical fact about the Y:

Young


Mans


Christan


Association

So not fair. You shouldn't have to be a male and Christan. That's probably why they shortened it to "The Y" .


ANYWHO, 


I drove to The Botanical Gardens in Brooklyn last weekend. It was fun, until my new vintage camera ran out of film. So I used an iPhone to take this picture of a flower. Not my favorite but at least pretty enough. Here it is:

I used an app called "CameraBag" which can effect a regular photo to make it look old. It has other effects too like magazine, sepia and black and white. I wouldn't buy it if I were you. It's not as great as I might describe it as.  A pretty crappy app really.  

Ding-dong-ditch the doorbell

I just learned a new phrase.

Ding-dong-ditch the doorbell. 

(dinG-donG-diTCh the DOorbell)

Definition; To ring a doorbell, then scram

Can you believe technology?

Sorry, been out again. But anyway,

Last night, I went out to see the sunset on my scooter with Athena. We went to the Hudson River park. It was pretty, of course, crowded. A posse of teenagers singing the Barbie theme song. Tourists. Joggers blocking the road so I CANNOT SIMPLY RIDE. Oh, I finished another book in two nights. So glad that these are coming from the library! Or else I'd be broke.

Anyway, I got a lot of comments (well, two is like a tital wave for me) so thanks people!

Also, I'd like to introduce you to:

My favorite vintage commercials!

Best Commercial Ever

Oh yeah.

Loaded with so many calories and sugar it's guaranteed to rock your hyper activeness.

Oh yeah

Socially barking

Sharpie currently at 4:34 P.M
Lazing.
She was pretty slow this morning. Peed one drop and romped back into the apartment. I've always wondered about a dog's life. Their a lower life form. I know they have emotions, 5 senses and social lives... but how close are they to ours? How do they think?

I guess they have social lives. Like say, an kid brought their dog to a friends house and that friend owned a dog. Then the kid's dog would cross the others territory. That would kinda relate to a fight between to people over land, objects or anything else really. Social fights. Right? We have friends, they have friends. (Well they have to at least like each other if they're breeding)

Am I crazy or right? Dog's have social lives!

Price Tag

Hello! I just got a new haircut! It's at an angle. Longer in the front, shorter in the back. My friend E. J went with me and got a bob cut. Anyway, I didn't see last nights SNL because I couldn't stay up, but I saw it this morning. Jessie J.- I like the song, but look lady, you have pants that make you look weird and a horrible haircut. So, yeah...

Here's her concert on SNL:

Top 10 songs 2011

1. Born this way

Lady gaga- lade-e ga-ga (a) a thief of the 1900 Madonna

2. On the floor

Never heard of it, that must mean it's not that popular

3. S & M

Skittles and m&m's

4. E.T

The song has a really scary theme and haunting lyrics, but somehow, I like it

5. F**k you

Let's roll in the water!

7. Grenade

I've never heard it, but I love "Just the way you are"

8. I need a doctor

Me too

9. F**kin perfect

What does every 21st century song have to do with that?

10. Blow

Kesha is so drunk she blew after her gulp of beer and her agent called it a song

Visiting

I'm here with Firewolf, another blogspot blogger. (AKA, one of my friends) We're creating a short clay animation. (Stop animation) and it will come out around June 2011. It's short, so don't expect much of it. But here's my definition of clay:

CLAY

cl-ay

A messy material that sticks to anything and makes your hands stick so much it's un-washable. They're favorite material to cling to is your face.

Eloise, that's ME

Polka Dot Blog Design

Hi!

OK, so I just ordered a blog button and signature from a designer blog called: Polka Dot Blog Design. The blog is all by Lulu. It had designs of all kind and heres the best part, it's 100% free!

Here's Lulu's profile:

My name is Lulu Maggie, and I have a beautiful life! I have a wonderful family -- two lovely parents and seven siblings - 6 brothers and 1 sister. I am home schooled and currently in seventh grade. I enjoy photography, graphic design, and much more.

I am a strong Christian, and I believe that Jesus died on the cross to shed His perfect blood for my sins. That is the free gift of God, and I believe that everyone who believes His death and repents for their sins can be forgiven. I also believe that God created the earth in 7 days, the 7th day being His rest day. I believe that God sent a global flood to the earth to destroy the unrighteous people.

Ice cream Sandwich

This is a picture of my ice cream sandwich. This weekend I made cookies at my country house and brought a whole bag full back to the city. I watched an episode of Fringe (I popped in and out of watching that, i get updated on the latest crisis's by my friend who watches every episode) and decided to treat myself with ice cream and cookie! then... I'M A GENIUS! So yep, I made a homemade ice cream sandwich.

My recipe ( Half mine, half chocolate-chip bag cookie recipe):

3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
2 sticks of butter, make sure there softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (they wanted me to put in two and when I did, I decided that 1 would be enough but of course they wanted us to run out of them and but more.) 

YAY

This is just to say that pills stink. Vitamins. Even though, they make you "bigger and stronger", they taste like chalk. Whenever I have a flinstone vitamin, can you not throw up? Or is it just me?

"I think I'm taking crazy pills!" - somebody who thinks like me

2011 Grammy Awards.... Whoa

Sadly, I didn't see the Grammy Awards because I was sleeping. But, I did see it on YouTube...

At first in Justin Beiber's performance, I thought he was crazy because his guitar solo was so short and shy. Then it started to make sense with Usher and all the Ninjas. Yeah! Ninjas are so in style! All 13 year old famous pop-star singer kids have them in they're Grammy Award performances. Not criticizing, just questioning.

Lady Gaga? Don't get me started. That lady's agents and stylists have so many out-of-this-world ideas that if everyone dressed like that we would run out of deodorant. A womb? Freaky i-have-an-extra-bone-on-my-cheek people as backup dancers? And I thought the meat dress was as original and creatively over the top as one singer can do! The ending? Yes,  in my point of view (from a little kid filming his T.V screen at 10:00 P.M) it was so Michael Jackson like when they did the ending of claws in the air and the organ.
She's almost like the 20th Century Beatles. Introducing outrageous fashions of food, objects and UN-solid materials. I wonder if in 10 years we'll be wearing medal (like robots) or bubbles.

Recreation

This is a girl who recreated the first maximum ride book cover. I think it's genius. Just needs wings. 

Thakoon

I went to a Thakoon fashion show Sunday night. It was at the Plaza Hotel in which I thought was amazing. Produced by Dizon Inc. clothes by obviously, Thakoon. But anyway, I was seated at a balcony where there was a perfect view of the audience, photographers and models. Here are some pictures:

Some of them are blurry but look, it's life. I took it with an iphone and they're moving models so deal with it.

I went back stage so I got a picture of the boards with the pre-photos of them. 

The other thing that was exciting is that Tavi Gevinson(15 year old fashion blogger of The Style Rookie) who is one of my favorite bloggers came to the show and she looked all vintage. So cool.

Yes. 

Comment which one you think is in general... better

A poem

This is a poem by a 4th grader in Texas. I think it's amazing.

Armed

Armed with a pencil

And a shield filled with words

I sum up my courage to face the world.

With an eraser for backup

And a book for ideas,

I rise up over the trees hung with leaves.

I rise up to the stars and above

Into a far-off universe I love.

It's quiet and peaceful

As bright as the sun

And filled with imagination;

Enough for everyone.

There's room for all,

Supplied with the inspiration you need

To click on your mind,

And finally

Succeed.

My t-shirt

I got a silk screen kit for Christmas . So, I decided to use it 10 minutes ago. Here is the result:

Copyrighted by ME, Martine. 

Inspired by Andy Warhol's style. I'm going to wear it tomorrow and never, EVER put it in the washing machine. (Which BTW, would kill it) Like it? Comment! 

Dreaming or daydreaming

If I told you that your entire life was really just a dream, how would you react?
To answer this question, I took a survey of a bunch of new yorkers and they said:


"I'd be paralyzed in shock"

"I'd would refuse to believe it's"

"would look around and wonder what my real life as if this wasn't it"

"I would start pinching myself."


So, to new yorkers, loads of them would most likly be confused.
Would, I'd probably scream. I worked so hard on m life! Bing told that it was all imagination in some stupid sleep would ruin me... How yould you respond?

The Girl Who Could Fly

The Girl Who Could Fly is a book by Victoria Forester. I think its for young teens... anyway, it's one of my favorite books on earth. It's about a girl who's name grew up in a family of regular farmers. The mother is afraid of being gossiped about and her father just lives on with life. Well, she's been a regular baby since birth. But just when most babies start to walk, she floats. So from that moment on she's been evolving. Floating to flying to soaring. When word gets out because she accidentally flies in public, the Government goes for her. They bring her to a top secret place called I.N.S.A.N.E. She meets kids with X-ray vision, incredible minds, super-strong muscles, color powers healing powers and lots more. Then, you should just take it from there. Im not going to give it away. So read it...

The Girl Who Could Fly

2011, here I come.

Happy new years!

I stayed up to watch the ball drop on dick clark's rockin new years eve. The funny thing is that the old bands like the new kids on the block, are like what? 35? Plus, THEY AIN'T NEW ON ANY BLOCK! So I'm wondering why they got back together.
In addition, my opinion is that there are so many rappers that played that night, and they all pretty much singing about love. I mean some were good, Like the guy with the spaceman theme and the helmets concert was the best. The people in the back were dressed in black and held up white costumes so it looked like super floating flexible superheros were hip-hopping as backup singers.
But some performances like ke$ha's who murdered a bunny and rode on Santa claus in blue lipstick singing about how drunk she is were on the stupider side.

So I stayed up until avail Lavigne sang and then went to bed. the great things about the show was the reporters, the most popular goals for 2011, the psychical ball drop.



Tell me what you thought of the show by commenting! Happy 2011...

Calvin and Hobbes: The Incident of thy Snowman

There are endless of them. (and there not all about expressive snowmen) there are books filled with them.

Plus, If you don't get it, (which it's kind of obvious) Calvin and Hobbes built the snowman incident. And e does it all the time. So... his parents think he had something wrong with him.

But the kid speaks Shakespere and is 6! Also, you can see how his imagination brings Hobbes to life and when Hobbes is in sight of others, he's just a stuffed tiger.

In my book, "The Mysterious Benedict Society", The characters use Morse Code to signal their information to their homeland. At first, I wondered what Morse Code was and realized it was how the military used to communicate (or still might) without others realizing what they were saying. So, I taught myself how to use it and what ways. I'm guessing from what I've read online and in my book that it can be used with light, sound and pen. I also found one of the thousands of charts on google. I plan to teach my friends this to be more secret agent-like...


PS. in the middle of each letter in a word, you make a /. A space is just a regular space.  (you might prefer about two)
