WAT'S-THE-WORD on Victorious?!



WAT'S-THE-WORD on Victorious?! Well first off...I LOVE it! I never miss an episode!

All the characters are so funny. I love the whole idea of people who are talented going to a special school for it...I also sing and play guitar so I think it's awesome to watch people do it to. I just wish I could go to school just like Hollywood Arts High, it would be SO much better than mine!

The songs from the show (Make it Shine, You’re the Reason, and Finally Falling) are awesome! I catch myself singing them all the time, my brother even makes fun of me because he says no one knows the songs, but he is so wrong. I am so excited to tune in every week to see if there are any new songs.

I especially love checking The Slap to see the fun facts and cast updates they have each day. I really hope they come out with a Victorious movie soon!

WAT'S-THE-WORD on the Blackberry?!



I just got my first Blackberry (the Tour to be exact).. I am OBSESSED!

The phone is pretty sweet - I can go on any website and even use BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). There are pretty cool games too, my favorite is Brick Breaker. It keeps me entertained on long car rides.

I love all the cool apps on it. I can check the weather, take notes, find my way on the GPS, take pictures and video (and even upload them to Facebook!)

I am now addicted to my Blackberry. I would not be able to get another phone because I am so used to all the cool features on it. It seems like they are producing new ones pretty frequently though, so I don't think I'll have a problem.

WAT"S-THE-WORD on the iPad?!







It’s like an iPod, but the o is an a. It’s also the coolest thing out there right now. I feel like Apple is always coming out with new things right after the newest thing just came out. Slow down Apple! We can’t keep up! But this time I’m glad they did. The iPad is literally a smaller cooler computer that you can bring with you everywhere. My dad has one and I always “borrow” it to show my friends. I tell them it’s mine of course, but I’ve actually gotten pretty good at using it. You can watch movies, listen to music, read books, and surf the web whenever you want, WHEREVER you are.

If you don’t already have an iPad, I would say go out and get one right now! And if you don’t have $500, then I'm sorry. Technology is so exclusive these days. But if you want to be popular, then nag your parents until they give in. Just kidding. Not really. Kind of!

WAT"S-THE-WORD on Iron Man 2?!







BAM BOOM BAM BAM. That's WAT'S THE WORD on IRON MAN 2! it was an action packed, blockbuster movie that did what it was meant to do, entertain. I can't say it was a good movie, but it was one of those movies that you have to see… because everyone is going to see it. And everyone is going to go see it because everyone wants to be Tony Stark!

I personally love the idea of the iron man suit and with the new technology of the iPad is the Iron Man suit that unrealistic? Could it be made in the near future? I think so! But I hope there's arrant any evil Mickey Rourke's running around.


I wasn't lucky enough to see Iron Man 2 in IMAX, but I asked my friend Phil to tell me WAT's THE WORD...!

His favorite part was when Tony Stark made the new element from his fathers directions.
But he still likes Iron Man 1 better by far!! I asked him if IMAX made a difference... because I was pretty jealous that he got to see it there. But he told me that it didn't actually, because there weren't any really crazy moments... very disappointing.

AND THE BEST QUESTION OF ALL...IF YOU HAD THE IRON MAN SUIT FOR A DAY WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

He said he would cruise the world looking at everything, while flying. But I would, because that answer was horrible, slid down the pyramids, build a secret layer in Niagara Falls, go to see if Santa really is in the North Pole, and find my own island!

WAT's-THE-WORD on Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Movie?!






WAT’s-THE-WORD on Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief movie?!


In February, I wrote an entry all about the book series. Now, to all who have watched the movie (and hopefully have read the books too) WAT’s THE WORD on the Percy Jackson movie? The movie follows the skeleton of the book, but as I swiftly discovered, the movie didn’t follow the important parts of the book very well. The main reason I was disappointed in the Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief movie was because of the fact that it lacked a multitude of important details. For example, why doesn’t Anabeth look anything like the description, why didn’t Anabeth, the great planner, consider the fact they needed not only three pearls, but four! Additionally, why wasn’t Mr. D in the movie? I was very excited, for the movie because I simply loved the book, and I have to admit I did have outrageously high expectations for the movie.

I read the book in the summer, and the big parts I remembered were barely there. Sadly, all of the actors in the movie appeared to be around 16, while the book characters were supposed to be 12. The movie and book were marvelous separately, but together, they did not connect to each other very well. My middle sister, who hadn’t read the book prior to the movie thought it was great, and because she thought the movie was so good, she began to read the books! So if there is a rainy day, or you would just like to see a movie, you may want to consider Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief and form your own opinion!!

WAT's-THE-WORD?! on The Porsche 911?!


WAT's-THE WORD?! on The Porsche 911?! A couple weeks ago I was talking to Jack about what cars he likes. He told me that he likes classic cars. So I asked “like the Porsche 911?” He said “Yeah I like that car.” I told him “my uncle has that car.”

I decided I’d tell you guys about this awesome car so here are some facts about it. The 911 Carrera-4s has a wider body and an extra 44 mm at the back wings. To top it off, it also has wider back tires and titanium-colored front air intake grilles and slats.

This amazing car can go at a top speed of 185 mph or 297km/h. Just like all other Porsche cars this one has super-cool all wheel drive. The traction this car offers is an obvious sign of safety especially in a snowy or wet climate.


For those who like music, this car has a Bose surround sound-system and a universal audio interface. For those who like working, this has easy-to-use blue tooth so you can work while you drive! For people who like comfort (I know I do!) there are comfortable seats a awesome steering wheel and other features you’ll have to find out on your own.

So check out the Porsche website and check out this awesome super-cool amazing car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
