Grandma's house: A plum-picking experience

Today, i had the most wonderful plum-picking experience. I went up a ladder next to a tall plum tree and...well, picked plums. I felt a bit queasy at first, but after a little, i felt kinda better. Here is the directions for picking plums off a tall tree:

1. Climb a ladder by the tree.
2. If you want to pick from a different branch, move the ladder.
3. Reach out and pull the plum off the branch. Repeat if necessary.
4. Throw away wrinkled plums. If only slightly wrinkled, do not

That is how. Here is a photo of me up a ladder, reaching out for a plum.




Have a lovely time plum-picking!

my mario fangame

i'm going to start a mario fangame, and i need fan ideas. i have a lot of ideas, for example, being able to throw bombs, but i need 25 ideas...for example, what will a good powerup be like? i'm having trouble deciding on some stuff. i have some good pipe systems and new powerups, but got any sprite sheets, or...uh...concept art? i have this Mario spritesheet, but i seem to be missing some. so when you visit my blog, please post a comment to help me!

book idea!

hey there, readers! i just came up with a great idea for a story a week and three days ago! it came to me through a dream. at first i thought it was a nightmare, but when i woke up, i got the feel that it could be used as a story called "rise of the phoenix." let me give a sneak peek of this story:

one day, this kid named harry got bored of playing outside, so he decided to look for fun elsewhere. after about an hour of searching for somewhere else to play, he said, "i bet there is only one place left to go: the neighbor's yard." he started to climb his brick wall when he noticed something suspicious on a brick. on the wall was a button that looked like part of the brick!

so that is all i am giving! if i wrote any further, this whole book would be on my blog!

i will start to write rise of the phoenix on saturday.

i just finished my project

i just finished my retelling of jack and the beanstalk. i will have to email it to those who want it. because i cannot copy-and-paste it here.

no restarts

my computer has been fixed by mom. it still groans, but it dosent restart. now it is perfect for working on projects like mario, but the mario constructor cannot run. mario worker and game maker do, though.

zombie sign

mom told me about a construction sign hack that made it say "zombies ahead". dad found a photo of it, and together we decided to photoshop in some zombies with ms paint. here is the original:
and here is the new one:

the real small thing in the tree is another zombie. this is the way it went:
somebody made a joke on the sign, i made a joke on the joke to give it more sense. i used ms paint instead of dad using photoshop.

restarting computer. . .?

my computer is restarting randomly. my mom tried to stop the problem, but the wires are still coming loose on the "no-auto-restarting-the-computer" drive.

i downloaded king's quest yesterday, but i cannot play it until the problem is beat up.
