Yaaaaaaaaawn


I haven't been blogging because I've been staying up late reading and watching youtube. CSI camp has finished without much new stuff except a kid came named Bryce Harriet who likes killing squirrels. Seriously. Killing squirrels. I'm not kidding. Me and a few other people who don't like seeing dead squirrels grabbed him by his arms whenever a squirrel came by. Dead serious. We had to grab him. 100% true. I was planning to post something called Bryce Harriet: Squirrel Hunter when Nicky and I had a sleep-over, and how are you supposed to blog at a sleep-over? During the sleep-over he got me hooked on The Last Stand:Union City, which can be found at this link, and is a really addictive zombie survival game in witch you (I named myself Billy Bob Joe) try to survive in this zombie-infested world and find your wife Ellen (in my case, Ellen Bob Joe). On the same day, my sister got me addicted to v-sauce's videos. That's why I haven't been blogging. I was going to write this post about good youtube creators like Tobuscus and v-sauce, But I guess that can wait. I've been sleeping about 4 hours a day, so I need to sleep more. Good night!
P.S. Don't you like the image? My cats Maggy Meou and Pity Pur do that all the time.

On the subject of summer camps

Yes, that is an origami Yoda; we'll get to it later. I think it's time to take a break of boring old lists for a while and talk about life. At the moment, my life includes mostly summer camps. I am currently in CSI summer camp. Earlier I did Rocky Mountain Theatre for Kids. Next I will do ICamp. It's starting to sound like a list again, isn't it? What I'm really here to tell you about is this kid at CSI. I don't know his name so I will call him not-Anthony because he is kinda like Anthony but he isn't Anthony. On the first day he kept hitting this kid softly and the kid did nothing, and today that kid tapped him with a paper and he got really angry and told the teacher. Another thing, yesterday not-Anthony was talking to his friend and he almost walked into a tree. Not-Anthony got so mad that he hit the tree, then three bees came down and he screamed and ran away. He's also the kind of person who makes bad jokes and thinks they're funny. Today he was talking about how bananas are radioactive and I said, "Radioactive bananas? Sounds like the title for a cool video game," and not-Anthony said, "You're a radioactive poop!" and laughed himself silly while the rest of the class just looked at him as if he were crazy. Today we made origami DNA and not-Anthony bragged that he could make an origami Yoda, then complained that it was impossible to make origami DNA (the picture is of an origami Yoda that I found at this link. Congratulatations to Fumiaki Kawahata for designing it and Phillip West for folding it.). He makes the class a lot more interesting. Well, it's 9: 03 and I'm yawning so I think I should post this now or I won't get to read the rest of The Mysterious Benedict Society. To recap: Summer camp, not-Anthony, three bees in trees, radioactive bananas, origami yoda. Good night!

What do I post about Primeval now?

Good question. I've run out of series at the moment (BTW, join the series 6 campaign HERE. I don't have a facebook account so I can't do it so please do it for me) so I have an idea: I'll write all the animals of the older novels too! Yaaay! Each novel is set between two episodes, shown here as series.episode. There are currently 4: Shadow of the Jaguar set between episodes 2.3 and 2.4, The Lost Island set between 2.3 and 2.4 (directly after Shadow of the Jaguar), Extinction Event set between 2.7 and 3.1, and Fire and Water set between 3.5 and 3.6. Let's go in order:

Shadow of the Jaguar: Thylacosmilus, future bird.
The Lost Island: Badger-like mammal, dromaeosaur, eotyrannus, iguanodon, liopleurodon, neovenator, polacanthus, pterosaur, anatotitan.
Extinction Event: Ankylosaurus, didelphodon, dimetrodon, entelodon, euparkeria, pachycephalosaurus, prehistoric bird, prehistoric mammal, shrew-like creature, torosaurus, troodon, tyrannosaurus, sparrow-sized pterosaur.
Fire and Water: Sauroposeidon, triceratops, eustreptospondylus, postosuchus, velociraptors, deinosuchus, two unidentified theropods.

The Future Bird could have evolved from modern day woodpeckers. This would explain the tooth-covered tongue, as some woodpeckers already have this. A type of woodpecker may have evolved to tackle beehives, pecking into the hive and catching any bees within. Then it evolved a pheromone scent that allowed it to lure bees to it. After a while some started to use the bees to hunt and protect itself. Then it got bigger and flightless, and was able to control other animals. The picture is unfortunately too big to be included here. Um, I can't think of anything else to post so I guess I'll end now.

Primeval series 5


What I said last time, exept with a 5 instead of a 4
  1. Large burrowing insects
  2. Swimming theropod/raptor, Liopleurodon
  3. Dromaeosaurus
  4. Future beetles
  5. T. Rex, fog worm, anurognathus
  6. Mutated future predator
Large burrowing insects might be a descendent of the mole cricket and future beetles might be a descendent of cockroaches. Mutated future predators are future predators that are faster, more agile, and can stand on two legs.

Primeval series 4



Primeval is back so it is my duty as an Andres to write down the creatures in series 4. Here goes:
  1. Cretaceous fish, spinosaurus
  2. Kaprosu-
STOP! Lots of the creatures from series 4 and 5 are repeats. Because of that, and the fact that I haven't written in a long time, I will repeat creatures used before. Let's try again:
  1. Dracorex, cretaceous fish, spinosaurus, raptors
  2. Kaprosuchus, Area 51 creature, mammoth, coelurosauravus
  3. Tree creeper
  4. Therocephalien
  5. Labyrinthodont
  6. Hyaenodon
  7. Terror bird
The area 51 creature is confirmed to be a future fungus that got mistaken for an alien. Can you guess where the picture came from?

P.S. I was playing Minecraft on a new texture pack I had just gotten (Pokecraft) when I saw... in the middle of the air... On a floating grass block... a miltank! There it was, just standing there over 30 feet of air! I took a picture of it using control+shift+4, then saved and quit to write this post. I might post a picture later.

P.P.S. What is the difference from a salamander and a newt? Nobody has answered me.

everything in the past year (that I can currently think of)

Sorry. NANOWRIMO has been done for 4 months, but I haven't found the time to do anything here. A summary of the year would be: I went to Platt CHOICE, which was fun; I learned to ski, which was not as fun; I competed in Destination Imagination, which was fun; I created a mini series with Kyle called "Andres and Kyle's Summer Backyard Adventures," which was really fun; I went to Rocky Mountain Theatre for Kids with Kyle and planned a movie there, which was fun; I got hooked on Minecraft, which was fun; We got Netflix, which was fun; I watched the 4th and 5th seasons of Primeval, which was fun; and overall I had a pretty fun year. Um, so, yeah. That's it. There's no more. Bye.
