power

So this morning I was woken up really early at about 5 am or around there. I come to find that there was no power in half of the house when I was woken up and my dad was looking for a flashlight. I find it funny but bad all at the same time because the upstairs half of the house has no power and the downstairs half of the house had normal power. With the lack of power the first thought was we tripped a breaker outside. However, with a look at the box we come to find that all the breakers are fine nothing was tripped so next comes the reason why there is no power. Still after much testing and looking around we have not been able to find the reason for the power not working. So at this point their is no power upstairs and we now have to find on electrician to try and figure out why we don't have power to half the house.

With the lack of power more problems have come up. The first this is that all the bedrooms are upstairs and their are fewer windows up their so very little light from outside. The next this is that we don't have heat and in my room I have lizards that need the room to stay warm so now were trying to keep my room warm for the lizards. Another problem that came up is that all the computers, cable modem, and router are upstairs so our network doesn't work. Well i was able to fix part of that problem with a power cord from downstairs to upstairs that only has the cords for the modem and router so that we can at least use the internet with our laptops downstairs. Even right now I'm writing this in my room using the battery that will die soon :(

Wow this has been a long day and I have no idea when the power will be restored to the upstairs half of the house.

New Movie.......

So Saturday night I had a little adventure which started with what was going to be a bus ride to Westwood to see a friend and go to the movies turned into a good 2 mile walk (well I’m not sure about the miles but it was at least two). At the end of my walk I was on Ventura Blvd where I had dinner with the friend I was going to meet. After a long time talking and eating we meet up with another friend to go and see this movie. I could go into the adventure more however the title of this blog is "New Movie.." not "My Saturday Adventure" lol

So the movie that we saw was Cloverfield, a new monster destroying New York. When I say monster movie most people think of another stupid movie where a monster destroys a city and a lot of people while they try and kill the monster to stop it. Well you would partly be true, but I wouldn’t go into all that because I don’t want to give the movie away. What made me want to see this movie was the movie trailers. The trailer never once shows the monster that is destroying New York just a whole bunch of random seen that makes many people confused, well I know I was.

I can say that both myself and the two people I was with really enjoyed the movie. One thing about it was that the movie was not predictable you were not sure what was going to happen next or at the end. Another thing is that at the end of a monster movie you always see everything good and the main characters that are still alive all happy, well that doesn't really happen there. But the really reason I liked the movie was the different style of filming that took place.

The movie was shot through the characters point of view through the whole movie not just some parts of it like the Blair Witch Project. Basically what was done was they got a video camera that anybody could buy and shot the whole movie like that. Along with this new style of movie filming was the scrip. What the characters said may have seemed cheesy however when thinking about it you would have said something like they did so the script was written as a normal person would speak.

Over all after seeing this short movie I would recommend this movie to anybody that’s looking for a good movie to see or has on interest in this movie.

Time

So another break has come and gone :( With this break came friends that I have not seen in sometime. Most of my friends have left for college away out of state or just some distance away so I don't get to see them. Well with my friends coming home plans were made to have a lot of fun and getting to hang out and just enjoy the small amount of time we have. With these plans come problems with families and more so not everything that was planed happened.

Winter break for most is about three weeks, three weeks that seem to go by way to fast with everything that you want to do. We made plans and not everything happened :( however knowing that before the break happening you know to spend everyday with your friends like the last day of break and that you might not see them for some long time again.

Going into break knowing all this I was able to spend everyday with my friends as long as I could and enjoy all the time with my friends. Going out to eat, driving around, and just hanging out at the house lots of fun even with the shortest amount of time.

Why does time seem to move so fast when you don't want it to.......?
