Well, this week has indeed been a good ol' mix of snow, Avengers and humour.
Monday was a rather interesting day. We had a lot of snow over the
weekend and everyone was anticipating a snow day, however that didn't
happen. We were one of the only schools open on that day, with a total
attendence of 27%. Yeah, it's a bit low.
However, the snow had quite an effect on everyone. Somehow, it enhanced
our personalities, for example, Wadz was super hyper whilst ANT was 10
times more blunt than usual (yeah, it's possible). On top of that,
everyone hated everyone else. What a lovely day.
But Monday wasn't all hate, I was informed of one of the best inventions
ever, the Messy Mat. ANT told me how her grandad used to (and still
does, to this day) put a mat under her chair when she was eating so if
she dropped something it would be easier to clean. Now that is just
brilliant :)
Tuesday saw the disappearance of ANT and Wicks and Master having a good ol' chat about villains and other stuff.
In PE, Wicks and Master were in the fitness suite, so they had plenty of time to go through a range of topics, such as Marvel's Avengers, who their favourite Avenger is (check out the poll), How It Should Have Ended, Divergent, The Mortal Instruments and shoddy villains.
After much discussion, they came to the conclusion that many villains
are actually not very good at being villains. Wicks was particularly
critical about Voldemort,
who she stated was a 'borderline poor' villain because he clearly
doesn't think through his plans very well, however excells in the field
of minnion manipulation.
They came to the conclusion that there should be some sort of villain
school, where villains are trained in the art of being evil because, to
be fair, shoddy villains do let down a good story. On this topic, they
imagined what it would be like to hold a parent's evening, but instead
have the villains' respective heroes with them. Along with heroes'
evening, they thought about villains school reports. They would perhaps
be assessed on the following skills: power, cunning, evil scheming,
minnion manipulation and public speaking. Sounds like fun, eh?
On Tuesday lunchtime, Wicks stated a hypothesis: who you see as a hero depends on who you are. Discuss.
Onto other matters, we had a little discussion about Autocorrect and
text talk. We talked about how Autocorrect sometimes saves the wrong
spelling of a word and then corrects the correct spelling. Or other
times when you manage to spell a word so wrong it's as if the phone's
saying to you, 'Even I don't have any suggestions, you idiot.'
The main song of the week that Ruby and Wicks have been obssessed with is the Olympic Mascot Song. I must say, it has to be the happiest song I've ever heard :)
Thursday was Wicks' birthday! It was simple, but I'm pretty sure
everyone had a pretty awesome time. However, only 1 out of the 4 baloons
that ArwaChihuahua gave Wicks survived the day ;p
If anyone's wondering about ANT, no, she was ill for most of the week. But I think she's now better, yay!
On Saturday, Wicks had her birthday gathering, which ANT, ArwaChihuahua,
Wadz, the Beckster and Master gladly attended. They had a wonderful
time watching The Avengers and The Raven, with Wadz remarking at every scene, and eating a very meaty pizza.
At the beginning, they had a rather lengthy debate on which pizza to
order, as they just couldn't decide which pizza was more meaty.
Then they watched The Avengers,
where ANT was confused for a good portion of it, they discussed who the
best Avenger is and Wadz couldn't get over the fact that, in the movie,
they only had 3 members of the NYPD out on the scene, later joined by 2
firemen (sorry for ruining it for anyone who hasn't seen it). Also, ANT
marvelled (you like the reference?) at the fact that the Hulk
understood the word 'smash'.
Later, they watched The Raven. Now, it has to be said that that film has the word 'grisly' written all over it (literally and metaphorically). [If
you haven't seen this film and don't want me to ruin it for you, skip
to the next word highlighted in bold to avoid potential spoliers.]
Even though it is meant to be a thriller, no one could take it
seriously because of the stuff Wadz was saying. It turned out that
everyone heard the word 'Baltimore' as 'Voldemort', and they just called
all the characters, apart from Poe, Emily and the guy with vampire
teeth, Griswald.
Well, that was one hell of a week, right? Can't wait till the next one!
Until next week, have a good one :)
