Stuff You Missed in History Class

HowStuffWorks.com

            Stuff You Missed is a fun, entertaining and informative podcast. Sarah Dowdey and Deblina Chakraborty research and explain the topics your textbooks missed. This podcast is like a history class. Whether it’s because you barely touched the surface, or never new it existed there’s always more to know. While most of the information is useless it is a fun way to expand your knowledge. Especially with Sarah and Deblina’s fun-facts. The information is given like a history lecture, though the topics are like nothing you’d read about in history class. Some of their titles include Don’t Cross the Dragon Lady, How the Tulip Mania Worked, and The St. Valentines Day Massacre. This bi-weekly podcast is a fun way to learn history without the notes. 

Shirt.Woot

Hey all you! I'm back with my next blog! Today I'll be talking about a website called Shirt.woot. This website sells t-shirts, some pretty cool ones too, like this one.

Every day they put another t-shirt up for sale. They are 10 dollars each. Now you can buy a certain number after their release date, but only if they're good. This is called the Reckoning. They also have contest that you can enter, and vote in, for the shirts they sell.

Now, Shirt.woot sounds cool and all, and it is, but the shipping is awful. If you want it by a certain date in a month, you have to pay the overnight shipping fee or you won't get it for ever. We ordered shirts as Christmas presents and didn't get them for ever. I mean from the 13th to the 8th of the next month is too long. Though we did get them, but still, not in time for the Holidays. And they did have a sign on their sight that you had to click on to get real info, that's to long to ship a t-sirt, 16 days, really? I like the site and all, but I wouldn't suggest it to buy off of if you have a due date, but it's fun to look at! Click on the link to go to the site.

I'M GONNA' GO CRAZY!!!!!!!!! (not really)

So, Guess what? I'm going insane. No really. Ask my friends. I've been so hyper this week it's not funny. I also made a gi-nourmous assortment of duct tape accessories. Wallets, hats, rings, headbands, and bracelets. I've made the decision that my prom dress will be made of duct tape, if I go to prom. I'm not going unless it's Yule Ball themed. I'm in a choir performance tonight, how fun. Also, I'm going to make a quiditch team at my school. Awesome right! Recently I finished to books. To Kill A Mocking Bird (TKAMB) and My Sisters Keeper (MSK) So now I'm going to talk about them, so yeah. (Spoilers ahead, but not big ones. so def. read the MSK one.

TKAMB- So this book is AWESOME! If you've read it then you know how sad the ending is and All I'm going to say is that it's so horrid that it is still happening today, I mean really, we think that people aren't discriminative, soooooo not true. Give me a comment for your thoughts.

MSK- This book is soooo sad. This is the question on the cover. If you use one of your children to save the life of another, are you being a good mother or a very bad one? Tell me what you think, before and after you read the book.


Both books have been made into a movie, but that doesn't count.
So that's it...

BYE-YA!
