Some opinionated movie reviews.

Movie reviews are good and fine, but want to hear mine?
Movie #1: The Avengers
hmm, the "Best superhero film of all time!" but really, is it? although great, it is certainly not that epic. the first time it was pretty cool, but after watching it forty times (no thanks to Tony), it loses its punch. now, i like watching it occasionaly, but also, think about the plot. okay, so a bunch of people get together to defeat the evil people, fair enough. but, it turns out this group of good guys just happen to fight an awful lot. hmmm... espceially Ironman and Cap. America. but, they eventually work it out, so really, the movie is pretty greatr. great special affects, good actors. its all good. onto the next movie (no, it wont be anything Marvel made.)
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. possibly the best Narnia movie of all time. only one problem. C.S. Lewis could have possibly been rolling in his grave when it was made. i read the books, and really, its a little pitiful how much they didnt stick to the book. i mean, honestly! they didnt even get Eustace turning into a dragon correct! HOW DO YOU MESS THAT UP??? all that considered, it is a pretty good movie. I really like how Eustace pulled through in the end, and the ending Aslan left the movie with. so overall, a great movie.
The Shaggy Dog. what was that? possibly Robert Downey Jr. at his worst? I was almost tempted to root for the villian, begging him the end the movie! that, and he was Robert Downey Jr. all that considered, there was absoulutley nothing good in that film. the plot was lame, no one had any good characters. it was bad!
The Kid. Bruce Willis, what have you done???? okay, so ignoring anything about his character, i personally love this movie. it had a great story, and the kid, though he made a lot of mistakes, managed to do something right. i also really like Amy. (or Aymie for you Brian Reagan fans). she was really cool, and managed to keep the main character in check.
Okay, last movie. Ironman 2. i have seven words to sum it up. "One of the best movies ever!" whoops, so i miss coutned, but i am a cat. now that you know something baout theses movies, look them up if you havent seen them, except The Shaggy Dog. that movie was repulsive. until next post...
Cat,
Soul
P.S.
Alex and Tristan, it does not matter what you say, Star Wars is not the greatest movie chain ever.

WEEEE!!!!!

woo-hooo! yay! we went to the falls a couple days a go! (i dont know which falls, im just a cat, after all.). it was soooo much fun! of course, Tom didnt like it much. let's see, we went with Pepper's friend, some of you know i have mentioned her, her name (well, nickname really.) is Alex. then we went Tony's friends, with Tristan and Mark. fun! we got all wet. it was soo coo1! anyway, Pepper took Tristan's little sister, Rachel, behind the falls, and she loved it. i only got a little wet,  but Tony was completly soaked! it was hilarious. once, Tony snuck up on Pepper and doused her, and it wasnt really fair because Pepper wasnt wet yet, and she had no warning. you can imagine her rage, but she wasnt angry for long. later, Tristan was threatining to douse her, she just pushed him over, and she wasnt pushing very hard! it was crazy. she didnt mean to push him, but he was laughing really hard when he got up, and he promptly told Tony what happened. "You're little sister just pushed me down!" he exclaimed. really, Pepper is closer to his age than Tony is. yep, it was crazy! anyway, Tristan caught a giant toad, and Mark caught a crawfish. we all thought it was dead, but run! RUN!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!! it ws funny. although, i was as scared as Ironman probably was when he flew for the first time and almost fell straight down from over a hundred feet, because he wanted to take a (dumb) risk. but then i was thrilled, like he probably was after that adrenaline rush, and he didnt crash into the middle of some random street near Malibu. i know, i must stop watching these movies. naaa. anyway, just to sum it up, the falls were greaet! i'll right soon.

Alright, who's ready for a history lesson?

hi everyone. right now, Pepper is sitting on the couch (wearing her cast, which can be taken off in three weeks.) reading The Brotherband Chronicles: The Oucasts. i dunno. its a pretty good book so far. she is doing it for book club with Alex and Jenny. yeah, Pepper loves reading to me and Tom, so Tom is listening thoughfully and quietly as Pepper continues to read. so, currently Mistress is working out Tony and Pepper's school schedules. Master is downstairs working on college work, its pretty hard learning to be a pastor and all. Tony on the other hand is doing something very interesting. he is re-wiring the pool filter. we'll see how that goes.
Anyway, its my 50th post, and i figured i should do a history lesson. not on any time period, but on the nicknames behind my family. we'll start with #1. Tony:
Tony, though most people would assume the longer version in Anthony, is actually named Jonathon. you may be wondering, Why Tony then? Why not Jon? well, when Skylar and Tony were younger, Skylar has his heart set on knowing someone named Tony. well, he didnt, and he figured that Jonathon was close to the name Tony, so that was basically how it happened.
Now comes Pepper. You see, her name is Georgia, but everyone calls her Pepper, and that's how she introduces herself. i'll tell you why. one day Skylar came over and Master notcied he kept calling Jonathon "Tony". knowing this was not his sons name, he inquired why. when Skylar told him, and Master hada good laugh over it, he figured Tony's sister should have a matching name. you see, Pepper wasnt called Pepper until 2009, when the Ironman movie was made. so, when Master started calling Georgia Pepper, and introducde her like that, people started calling her that, and it sorta stuck...seriously! she is stilled called that, and she loves trhe strange looks she gets when her brother and she tell people there names. they look at her as if those were thier real names. it funny.
Now on to Mistress' name, her name is Natasha. now, her mother had a best friend whose name was Natasha, and her friend asked her what she would name the baby. jokingly, her mother said, "I don't know...Natasha?" and her friend let out a gasp of happiness, thinking her mother was serius. after some thought, her mother deciede it was a nice name, so she was called that.
Master was called Clint...because. i dont know why.
Tom is called Tom because the first time Tony saw him he excalimed, "Look! Now that looks like a real Tommy Cat!" and so his name was like that.
Spirit and Soul (me) are called that because Mistress wanted us to have matcvhing names.
anyway, now that history lesson ius over. i hopeed you enjoyed it! 
Goodbye! :)

water trouble...

hi everyone. so, something awesome happened this week. guess, what! Tony and Pepper both got tickets to go to this amazing thing called "Take A Plunge!" basically, its this camp where siblings from all over the US get together for water activities. well, that all ahppened yesterday. now, i must tell you about it. First activity: Water skiing. (Before i continue, there were eight teams of two-three of siblings from the same family.) well, since Pepper may be a little more of a dare-devil, she volunteered to do it, Tony quickly agreed saying, "I have no wish to die today." Pepper's response: "None do." so, Pepper hopped on the boat that would take her to the lake. i think it was a wrong descion for Tony to let her do this activity. "Pepper! HOLD ON!!!!" was all Tony screamed for that entire event as Pepper spun with a terrified expression under the water. you can guess they didnt win that one. but, there was always the next ones. okay, so next up was a "game" called diary-water. what happens is one team member must run through an obstacle course while the other teams are shooting water guns at them, and shooting them with blobs of goo, made of milk, cream cheese and sour cream. well, Pepper did not want to do this (her long flowing hair would have been difficult.) so Tony did it. it was prettu gross, actually. Pepper was screaming in admiration as Tony made it through the course. when he finished, and he came up to Pepper he said, "Really, I shouldn't be quoting this, you being called Pepper in all, but 'Don't ever, ever ask me to do that again.'." Pepper laughed to finish it off. "Okay Tony" after that, they headed over to diving. Tony wanted to do this one, but could not, because he still needed to rinse off from his last activity, so Pepper had to do it. although Tony is better, Pepper is a decent diver, so she figured she would be alright. well, things didn't go as planned. when she dived off in what looked like perfectly, and did a somersault, until she hit her foot and flopped into the water. Tony just stared for a moment and then ran over to Pepper who was trying to get out of the water, but found that other than floating, sh couldnt swim because of her bad foot. Tony pulled her out . "Are you okay?" he asked. Pepper looked down at her foot and gave him her answer. "No, I don't think so. I think we'll be disqualified. Sorry, Tony." Tony nodded and helped Pepper head over to the breakroom where Mistress, Master and I were all waiting  (Tom didn't want to come,he hates water, so Spirit decieded to stay with him.) Mistress got up (Master was holding me.) and helped Pepper over to the bench where Mistress checked out her foot. "Hmm..." she said thoughtfully. "Pepper... I think your ankle is busted." Pepper winced as Mistress picked up her foot, but didnt say a word. "One more... just one more and we would have had it." Tony was referring to the fact that there was just one more activity, and they couldve won. Pepper looked up at him in inspiration. "Tony, there's just one more. You could do it!" Tony nodded several times to himself and rinsed off. then he headed out to the last event. the lap test. the lap test tested who could swim the most laps by the time the 2:00 timer went off. Tony dominated. Tony was able to swim 9 laps, and second place swam 6. it was amazing! but when the awards were being handed out, they werent on the top three. "James and Natalie Morris! Justin and Steven Redder! Bruce, Clinton, and Jane Crayer!" the names were called out. out of 16 teams, Pepper and Tony were number 6. they were both dissapointed, and the jusdges kept calling out other awards. then came the best teamwork award. "Tony and Pepper Pot- wait. what? these kids have been watching too much Ironman, Potters." Tony looked up and helped Pepper up to the stage. they  were handed the award and talked about it all the way home. it was pretty amazing. anyway, I think Pepper (who is now wearing a cast) would liike me to sit with her, and i have nothing else to write. until next time!

irratation. irrataion ready begin.

no! no! no! no! Tony! HOW IRRITATING! I cant belive this! Tony posted a very humilating video on YouTube anout me today! Pepper decided to play dress up with her American Girl dolls, and me! she put a shirt, hat, and scarf on me. she also tried for shoes! how horrific, right?!?!? I felt decieved, like in Ironman when Stark found out that Rushman was really Romanoff! W-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A!!! okay, way tooo many A's, but still! i couldnt believe it! and then, Tony bribed Spirit into making an introduciton for the video, and he made Tom do the end (ya, bribed him to) anyway, Tony told them that he would make sure they didnt have to sleep in the bathroom tonight without any lights on if they wouuld make their appearances in the video. i was so dissapointed when Spirit told me what she had done. I heard Pepper laughinng at my video in the other room. "SPIRIT!" I yeowled. "How COULD YOU?!?" anyway, Spirit hid behinf the couch and just recently came out. anyway, that was all i have to write.

Tony and his entry.

hi everyone! yeah, its Soul, but I know that Tony told me that just like Pepper he would like to write a post on my blog, so here he is.
Hi so I found out a while back that my cat is a writer, I have to say, I honestly never figured that she would turn to such a course to earn a living, because she's a cat.  But, they say, "Truth is stranger than fiction", and I guess Soul is no exception.  I always knew she was a pretty smart cookie.  It's not like she was building combustion engines at age six or anything*, but she has been quick to catch on to things.  I can remember, for example, when Pepper tried planning her a "surprise" birthday party.  Soul caught on when she saw Pepper making the Big Fuzzy Hat.  On the day of the party everyone showed up except Soul.  That wasn't the last prank she ever pulled on Pepper, either. Well, I just noticed that Soul's sitting here waiting for me to get off, so I'll hand back over the keyboard.
Ciao!
- T
Isn't he great? our family can remember all kinds of stories of his heriocs, epic fails, and just super sagas of awesomness. you know, though Tony doesnt know this, Pepper kept a record of pretty much everything he ever did. okay, well Pepper is shaking the treat bag, so i gotta run!

* Soul's note: Watch the first Ironman with the introduction of his character when that award was supposedly to be given to him. If you are a real  Ironman fan, you'll get it.

Nerf Swords, Skylar, and Pepper

Hello. wow,what a day! I layed on Pepper's pillow pet all day, listening to her read David Copperfield, that book has a lot of dry parts... but stilll. I especially like Dora's voice, Pepper does it so well. Also Agnes. Agnes is my favorite character, she is so nice sounding. yep, its pretty sweet. anyway, Master and Pepper ran to Safeway to pick up some stuff, yeah, nothing really went on i gues you could say. Yesteraday we watched Ironman (I still thnk the second one is the best movie ever.) and Mistress full out fell asleep by the time the Arc Reactor was being stolen from Stark. She woke up near the end though, with three words. "Is it over?" andd Master promptly replied "Yes." it was pretty good. also, yesterday Mistress' friend Keisha came over for some Yahtzee and good food and movies. it was pretty fun. Skylar came over a couple of days ago, as did Tristan and Mark to play with Tony. they played with Nerf Guns, and when Skylar challenged Pepper to a duel with swords, and accepted I knew that Skylar was in for deep trouble. Pepper is really goood with swords, she is an expert. She can even beat Tony. anyway, at the end of the duel Skylar was on the ground staring up at the victor, whio was standing proudly over him. "Do I win?" Pepper asked with a wide grin, and Skylar suddenly spun up (tripping her, so she fell on top of Tony who just happened to be holding Spirit) and slashed at her with his mace. Pepper quickly dodged, which sent Skylar tripping over to the other side of the yard, and he fell again as Pepper tripped him with the flick of her wrist, as the sword went flying under him. "So, now do I win?" Pepper asked as she stood over him again with a satisfied expression on her shining face as she looked over at her big brother, who was beaming. "I think she does, right Mark? Tristan?" Tony said. Tristan and Mark agreed, and the winded Skylar looked up at her and said, "All right. You win." Pepper, being a good sport helped him up and led him to the kitchen to get a drink. It was pretty funny yo watch, but Skylar (to heal his pride) later destroyed her in a Dart War match (Tristan and Pepper, the youngest, against the others, who were older. It wasnt exactly fair.). anyway, i had nothing more to write. I'll try to write soon!

Blueberries. Kibbles. Pepper. and Tony's birthday.

Hi everyone. we just went berry picking at this awesome park where you can pick blueberries for free!!! coo, uh? well, Tom wigged out a little because of the simple fact that bees seem to looooove him. it's sad, really. he was jumping around, under bushes, into the buckets....on Tony's head. whoops, that was sad. anyway, I've decided I will re-read The Chronicles of Narnia again this yaer. i havent since 2008. it was really good. my favorite character was either Eustace or Edmund. probably Edmund. he was the only one who seemed to really believe Lucy, except in the first book.but he fixed himself! anyway, pretty much everyone disagrees with me, saying the Lucy is the best (she does make a close second. Georgie Henley did a good job acting as her.) except for gues who! Tony. I am certain we share the same opinions about everything from Ironman to what type of cat food is best. i remember this one time when Pepper was just one and a half, and she was sitting on the bathroom counter (we used to be fed in the bathroom.) and she reached over when Tom turned his back just a second because he trhought Spirit was trying to get his attention. suddenly Pepper reached over and grabbed a kibble.all of us cats turned to see what was to happen next/ Mistress had left 'cause she needed to put socks on because her feet were cooled. anyway, Pepper grabbbed the kibble and stuffed it in her mouth. she started to chew, then she choked, and Tony, with his big brother senses bounded into the room and started yelling for Mistress while simaltaneously patting Pepper on the back as he slung her over his shoulder. he was only six! it was amazing, and Tony was a class A hero, or at least I was proud, well i think everyone was. when Master came home he grabbed Tony in a big bear hug. anyway, to continue,  Mistress ran in and sorta freaked out because Tony looked very panicked, but evrything was all right. anyway, that was all i had to write. i'll write soon!
THE KITTY OF KIT KAT BARS!

P.S.
Tony's birthday is today! I'll have to wish him a happy birthday.

Leap-Motion Mii's

hi everyone. guess what!! Tony's birthday is coming up, and Master and Mistress got him an early birthday gift! they got him this thingy called a "Leap-Motion Sensor" im not sure what it exactly does, but Tony said that it was something like Tony Stark's house, in that you can move your hands around and it will sense you are there. cool huh? currently, Tony is playing on the WiiU. again, cool, uh? I like his Mii. it looks a lot like him, but Pepper on the other hand, well... her Mii isnt even close. anyway, i am bored and i have nothing left to write, so until then.

WAAAA!!

sniff, sniff. boo-hoo!!!! Pepper. Tony. Master. Mistress. they are all leaving soon!!! waaahaaaaaahaaaaaaa! how could this happen! they leave me, by myself, all alone (well, I'll at least have Tom and Spirit, right?) but still. dont they love me? okay, so they have left for a week before for a cross counntry drive to Massachusets, because Tony had to put on a speech, but i haaaaaate it when they leave! theyre all i got! not to mention, Pepper's friend Marissa is going too! how is that fare? i dont know, but why do they have to leave me??? anyway, let me tell you some bacground info. I remember once they left for an overnight stay at the Icicle Inn (we only do Best Western, we are a little afraid of the others. especially the Super 8, what is that???) and Tom bAsically whent basurk! first he was fine, but when he saw them leave and they didnt come back, he freaked.  let s  just say that when the family came hoome they had to redecorate the garage. wall. ceiling. floor. all of it. it was horrible!!  Tom somehow also got paint on Spirit, which Pepper had to bathe her afterwards, and Tom too. not because of the paint, but because of the giant tub of carpenters glue that Mistress bought (thanks a lot, Sam's Club!!!) and got it all over both of them. i leaped (or flew) out of the way before it splashed towards me. anyway, his yeowling was soo loud that the next door neighbors asked us who died the next day, and how did they die. when Pepper explained to them that she was just giving Tom a bath, they gave her a look that basically said I don't trust you, you liar! and thusly Pepper gave up and left, with Tom in hand. I remember this other time when Tom was being walked by Tony and it wwas more like he dragged Tom. yikes. Tom dug his claws into concrete and would not budge, so Tony dragged him half way across the block until finally Tom took off at lightning speed, broke the leash, and sat back down again. Tony decided to carry him the rest of the way. it was [retty sad. anyway, now that i have gone on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about this, i will ssign out!

Oh my goodness! i didnt put in a Ironman reference, hmm... oh, i got to think fast, okay, i got it! my most favorite line:

We should make a movie, all about me!!!!!
Hi guys, that was Tom writing, I am waaaaay tooo lazy to erase it, so just ignore t. but seriusly, they should make a movie about me. like, they made a movie about Ironman (or Tony Stark. he is sooo cool!) wait a minute, Pepper is telling me something. WHAT DO YOU MEAN TONY STARK ISNT REAL?!?!?!1 i've been decieved! waaaaaaa (Somebody call the waaaaambulance!!!). oh well, but still. they made a movie about a couple people I know are real. Bethany Hamilton (she is so cool), the Titans (from Remember the Titans, although thier movie is nothing like the real story. if you like that movie, i suggest not looking up the true story. yikes.), and there are other ones that i don't care about, but are ther. such as Justin Beiber. anyway, i bet a movie about me would be epic and entertaining. an no, i am not just being egotistical. really, would somebody jump on making me a movie? perhaps when I-BulldogStudios grows Pepper and Tony will work on that for me. anyway, as you can tell i am very board, hince why i am going on and on and on and on about something that when i think about it in ten minutes, 'i'll probably go why on earth did i write that???, but until then!

Cool Game Tournament.

hi everyone! It is late where i am. we just had a game party today with Tristan, Nick, Alex, Jenny, Mark, Ralph. cool huh? well, except for the part that i had to stay in the garage the entire time, it was great!!! anyway, Tom let me know that the cat next door said that it was sooo fun. and the great part is, we got a treat afterwards! (they should make an Ironman game, nah, to many explosions. wait, that sounds epic!) 'TWAS EPIC!!!! we heard so much screaming coming from upstairs, and then we found out that it was just Mark and Pepper messing around. Pepper actually won the game tournament, a 25$ Black Bear yogurt gift card!!! she is hoping to go tomorrow! (I hope she brings me.) Pepper is really exctied. anyway, they also played some dart wars. Hey, i decided I would let Pepper right something on my blog, ready? heere she is.

Hi guys! Yep, it's me, Pepper! As Soul said, I did win the game tournament and I just happened to wander over after watching some blimeycow (you have got to look that up! A bunch of Christian homeschooler's messing around, does it get any better?) and I asked her if I could type something up.  I mainly just wanted to be able to tell my BFF's Alex, Marissa, and Jenny that I had typed on my cat's blog. I love to write. Anyway, that was all and I think I will hand the computer back over to Soul. Thanks!
P.P.

Hey guys, it Soul again. see, Pepper has waaaay better gramar than me! boo-hoo. anyway, i should probably learn instesad of sitting on Masters lap all day. anyway, that was all i had to write!
