Percy Jackson

This is the movie poster of Percy Jackson but to be honest, (and this is what I think!) this is probably the weirdest posters I've ever seen ( not to be mean) but I it's cool at the same time. But i still think if they had a better movie poster more people would of watched it.

On Saturaday i watched Percy Jackson. Overall I think it was okay. The beginning was really boring but at the middle it was really good. I think the book was better than the movie though. Well actually I think most movies that are based on books are never better than the book. The graphics are really cool too - especially for the monsters. It was really cool. They changed some things in the movie that are different by the book which would effect the rest of the series for the movies and it sort of ruins the movie. Some parts of the movies was really funny though. I would of given this movie a 2 1/2 out of 4 stars. Some parts of the movie could of been improved like the beginning because it was really boring and some parts were really confusing. This movie sort of disappointed me cause i was hoping it would be even better but it was still good. But the book was even better.

What its about: Percy Jackson is diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. After going on a field trip and being attacked by a substitute teacher, he soon finds out he is the son of Poseidon, the sea god. He is then sent to camp half-blood, a camp where kids that are born from gods train. Then Percy is accused of stealing Zeus's lightening bolt. He has 10 days to get the lightening bolt back or a huge war will start between the god's and to save his mom who is being held hostage in the Underworld. ( This is the plot in the movie not the book)

The Olympic Opening Ceremony

So on February 12, 2010 the Olympics begun! Yaaay! I stayed up the whole night watching the ceremony and i nearly slept through some parts. Well actually i started watching it at 9 pm because i recorded it so i started from the real beginning and then i caught up live at 11: 30. I skipped some parts that i thought was boring like the speech someone did. But some parts were really cool too! The stadium was pretty cool. There were performances by a lot of people like Nelly Furtado and Bryan Adams. I personally thought the ceremony was a bit boring cause some of the performances were really long and then u get... well bored. It was sort of funny when they light the flames, 1 of the poles didn't go up and the people were waiting there forever and they looked so nervous and there faces were like Oh No x3.

It was really sad though when on the same day as the opening ceremony, a Georgian luber died in an accident when he was practicing. He was only 21 years old which was really sad. I saw the video on youtube and it was really, really shocking. But the good thing now is that the officials have changed the rules after the death.

GOOD LUCK CANADA! GO GO GO!

My Piano Exam

On January 19, I had my practical exam for piano. It was soooo scary! At first i wasn't nervous but then all of a sudden once i sat on the piano chair i got so nervous. I forgot all my scales and pretty much everything! I got a pretty bad mark on the exam too. But i didn't fail and I didn't get an extremely good mark. Next time i'm going to try harder. I think the reason why i didn't do to good was because i had to play in the grand hall on the grand piano and i got really nervous because the hall was so BIG and when you play on the piano the sound echoes and its so loud. I blame my piano teacher because she told me she was positive that i won't have to play in the grand hall but guess what? I did! I never played on a grand piano before so it was sort of weird. the piano keys are really soft. When i say that i don't mean like its actually soft, but i mean like its really to press like a keyboard. The piano i have at home wasn't soft so it was hard to play cause i wasn't used to it. I can take a re-test but i don't want to cause i'm going to freak out so yeah. BTW, this is actually suppose to be on the January part but my computer wasn't working so I didnt get to publish it until now. So Sorry!
