BEACH

Miss me? OK, fine! Be that way! I'll just have to show you how much fun I had:

Those were taken near "Crabby Bill's", tee hee..... Crabby Bills.

I took more but can't seem to find them. I'll upload them later.

Anyway, I came back a while ago but had to catch up with everything so I was too busy to post. So, what did everyone do over vacation???... if you had vacation.

I did all of the following:

• See my little cousins, V. and P. 
• Go to the beach every day
• Go to shacks and places where you wear a shirt on top of you, not a bikini top
• Swim, shuffle my feet
• Float on rafts and get drifted 21 umbrella camps from mine
• Get even more darn freckles
• Get a tan, and a bug bite. (ONLY ONE! MY GOAL WAS MAXIMUM 1 BUG BITE DURING ENTIRE TRIP AND I FULFILLED IT! *itch* itch*)
• Finish 2 Suduku's
• Post at least sometimes
• Swim in the lovebug controlled pool
• Swim with P.  who loved to swim with me and 'beat me'. "I gonna beat you, I gonna beat you!" - P. 
• Find the two best ice cream places in the entire island: Super Scoops and one place thats shaped like an ice cream in a cup. (Their ice cream is so large and has such a wide range of flavors for soft serve it's the first must- go on my list)
• Eat seafood everyday for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was naan

Say: Goodbye

Grammy F. 1000 Heaven St. apt ∞, FL

Dear beloved Grammy,

I love you, and always will. The house is so quiet and sad without you and Granddad. I hope you're looking down at me and E. J. from up there in Harley Heaven. We've seen many of your collections in the past two days. I cannot believe how many pictures are stored up from the past! The ones of dad are really funny. Seeing all the people in 60's fashion makes me laugh out loud. And the way people used to wear their pants? Highwater, that's funny now but normal then...

Anyway, I miss you and when we got together to celebrate the great and long life you had, I didn't know anyone but if it was in honor of you, I'm fine with it. Tell Granddad to write to me that would be amazing. I saw pictures of you and him from when you were little! You all still look the same to me. But the resemblance between the young Russell and E. J. is incredible. Same shape of face and even expression.

Well, I'm guessing you're really busy. Up with your head in the clouds. Remember, I'll always love you!

Sincerely,

Martine

Im still in Florida. I went to the beach and found this sea glass:

Green, white and brown. I'm pretty sure that the brown one is from an old beer bottle, the white one is unknown and the green one is from like, a soda can or something.
Whenever I look at them, I always think "Martine, you've just found ancient glass. Sitting there right in your hand." But then realize, the world is so polluted that there are probably millions of ancient sea glass pieces because some people just smash their bottles and let it float out to sea for some random girl to find it (which BTW is me) and put it on her blog...
*Only a psychic person can do that, but I can dream. *

Ha

This I found on Youtube, in which I automatically posted. Beck Bennett as a host in a Youtube T.V joke. This is pretty funny because I believe that a 10 yr old, 7 yr old and an 8 yr old would really probably act like this. Please share this video, because it's awesome.

Girl In the Arena

I'm reading this really good new book called: Girl in the Arena by Lise Haines. It's all about a gladiator. A teenage girl named Lyn, daughter of seven Glads. Her mother marries an all famous Glad, they divorce, Lyn becomes popular and popular each time. Her only true father is the man who started her fame who is known as Tommy, the best of them all. When a new and young Gladiator slays him, the public tries to think up the unthinkable sentance, Lyn must marry her father's murderer. Lyn is prepared to do whatever it takes to gain her independence, even if it means fighting to the death.
I tweaked the blurb a bit so I'd make more sense....


This is the cover:

Owllina

Did I ever introduce you to Owllina? My lucky charm? Well, reader, Owllina, Owllina, reader. Owllina is from Greece. I went there with a relative as a trip. We were on a tour since Greece is so amazing, you can't singlehandedly see every landmark there. This was approximately two years ago. My little Owllina.

Description if you care:


1 inch tall
Cold metal
Bright blue yes that follow you
Extraordinary details
Mine

NOT FOR SALE! NO BUYING! SHE'S MINE! MINE I SAY!

RAWR...

Lincoln & JFK

Did you ever notice all the weird coincidences between Abraham Lincoln and John Fizgerald Kennedy? I found them in a book called "PICK ME UP" (which BTW, is not a chapter book or anything, just random really interesting and also a bit funny and mysterious facts)

Anyway,

These are the weirdest so-called 'coincidences' that I learned:

Abe was elected to Congress in 1846
John was elected to Congress 1946


Lincoln and Kennedy both have 7 letters in them

Both shot in the Head


Abe was elected president in 1860
John was elected president in 1960

Both killed by Southerners 

Both of their wives lost their children in the White House


Both where shot on a Friday

Both concerned with Civil Rights 

Lincoln's secretary's name was Kennedy, who warned him not to go to the theatre
Kennedy's secretary's name was Lincoln, who warned him not to go to Dallas

John Wilkes Booth was born in 1839
Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939

Both murders where known by their three names, and both had 15 letters in all

Booth and Oswald where assassinated before their trials


Booth ran from a theatre and was caught in a warehouse
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theatre


WEIRD ISN'T IT? MAYBE IT'S NO COINCIDENCE! 

One of my favorite songs....

This song is one of the below. After you hear it, please choose and comment your pick.

A. A song for traveling
B. A song from an old T.V show
C. Annoying
D. The opinion always starts with A
E. All of the above
F. All of the above besides D

Really Bad Made up Mystery

Mary was singing the song that never ends to impress her friends. "Wow! How did you learn that?" her boring and lazy friends asked. "Well, I learned it a long time ago. Yep, that old silly song has been in my family for years, never forgot the ending."

One of the friends said: "Mary, your humor is great but your stories aren't"

WHY DID SHE KNOW MARY WAS LYING?
*Note: All lame and obvious kids mysteries are structured like this. 




I really hope you don't get stumped. I really do.

Playdough

Did you ever notice that at the end of each commercial they say "Fun to play with not to eat!"

Ew.

Why would anyone in the right mind include that in theyre advertisment?

Yeah sure, it's true. Some little girl might sculpture it as an apple and  then a toddler would lick and bite it... but still....

That's more about parenting! Not the product itself! 

Well, have a nice day....

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

Look, the music video is awesome

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:

That is the free gift of God, and I believe that everyone who believes His death and repents for their sins can be forgiven.

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? 

Quote:

"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.


*Comment and tell me your opinions about the 2011 Grammy Awards

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.

COMPARE

I'm sorry. This is a comparison. Of what you ask? Valentines. The dead one is really funny to me. Sad, but funny. Where is his competitor? Here: (And yes, it is a he)

Lets see. It's a vote. Which ones better? I'll give you facts:

1. The Dead one is funnier

2. The Hoppy one is cuter

3. The Dead one is a physical picture

4. The Hoppy one is a cartoon

5. The Dead one is a photograph

6. The Hoppy one is well, hopping

Do you not know what The Dead one and The Hoppy one is? The one about death and the rabbit who will not GIVE UP? 

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?
