TACO MEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT

Poems.

I like fish
I like feet
I like eating taco meat

Butterflies
Are
Dead
Am I in a tree
This is my haiku

The sun be bright
the sun be bright
the sun be bright
The ain't gonn' be bright tonight
cause all my crops got blight

SOL 35: Ziplines

"You can go" The woman tells me. "Can you be more bored sounding?" I think as I trudge past her and onto the beach. I look out at the water and am disappointed that the bay is shielded by large (obviously artificial) heaps of rocks, which happen to be blocking my view. Oh well. I trudge through the sand, being careful not to get any sand in my shoes, because getting sand out of your shoes is a pain in the butt. Soon, I arrive at the tower, which is basically a slightly glorified staircase. I run up the first few flights of stairs, but quickly tire because I have been running up stairs all week. I climb up the few remaining flights of stairs, and reach the top just in time to see Logan fall backwards off of the tower. I jump forward, then realize that he was attached to a zipline, and is not a suicidal person. I wait for a short time, and then the dude running the zipline hooks me the zipline. After talking into his radio to a mysterious person (some person with our class below who is yelling into a radio and I somehow did not see) for a little while he gives me the ok. "You can go now." He says. With a final breath, I fall backwards, into the thin air, and zip away on the zipline.

Foundation

This week I read Foundation (and the entire Foundation series) by Isaac Asimov. The Foundation series tells the story of the death of the Galactic Empire, and the creation of two Foundations to preserve culture and technology. The goal of the First Foundation is to, after a thousand years, establish a second Galactic Empire. The Second Foundation is hidden, and is made up of psychohistorians who are tasked with making sure the First Foundation stays on track to form a second Galactic Empire. The foundation stays reliable as the galaxy splinters into small kingdoms that quickly relapse into barbarism.
I really liked this series even though this is my second time reading it. The plot and characters are extremely complex, and even though the series was started in 1950, the future described in the books seems realistic. The plot is interesting, and kept me on my toes. This gets a 9.9/10

Before the Golden Age

This week, I read Before The Golden Age by Isaac Asimov, an anthology of science fiction from the 1930s. The pieces of science fiction were selected as pieces that influenced his career in a major way. The book contains The Man Who Awoke by Lawrence Manning, Tumithak in Shawm by Charles R. Tanner, Colossus by Donald Wandrei, Born of the Sun by Jack Williamson, Sidewise in Time by Murray Leinster, and Old Faithful by Raymond Z. Gallun.
I really liked this book because of how many stories it contained and how various each story is. In all the stories, the plot is extremely detailed and has interesting characters. This book earns an 9/10.

SOL 34 the Om Nom Monstor

Recently I was sitting about wondering what to do when suddenly the Om Nom Monster burst through the door. The Om Nom Monster is a very fearsome beast, complete with long fangs, a hairy body and a cry of "OM NOM NOM!!" that scares the daylights out of any soul. The Om Nom Monster takes control of your body and forces you to go and eat so many snacks. I was instantly possessed by the Om Nom Monster, and was made to consume snacks. Once the monster was satisfied, it left and I wrote this slice.

Frankenstein

This week I read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Frankenstein is the story of a monster created by a mad scientist. This monster (Frankenstein) is created out of stolen body parts, and once it comes alive, its creator recoils from what he has made. As Frankenstein is tortured by its loneliness it turns to violence against the humans that send it away. Frankenstein vows to kill its creator, the man that brought it into the world, and that shunned it.
To be honest, I didn't really like this book too much. I know how Frankenstein is hailed as one of the best horror books ever written, but I hated it. Most of the time, the plot was less exciting than watching toenails grow. The not-as-slow parts were just interesting enough for me to stop watching my toenails grow. This book is a big steaming heap of po o. Honestly, I have read better Bob books. So, do yourself a favor. Do not read Frankenstein. (You should read it if your hobby is shoving X-Acto under your fingernails, since is is only mildly more exciting)

AND FOR THE SCORE!!!!! (drumroll please)

.12/10

SOLC 33: Hamster Named Google UPGRADED

Today Google the Hamster is very happy. Very happy. He is happy because I have gotten him a new cage. His new cage is a MEGA UPGRADE MAXIMUM, a new Chromebook Pixel. His cage is higher resolution, meaning that he appears even more green. Google the hamster is now engaging in his favorite pastimes like insulting Apple the hamster, with a faster retort speed and a better water animation.  Happy Birthday Google the hamster.
