The Haunt of the House of Death!

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

Now you wouldn’t believe this. Daddy and me made our own CD last week called “The Haunt of the House of Death”. It’s a song about an explorer exploring a house owned by an evil owner who’s half alive and half dead. He has a strange henchman. The explorer tries to escape but he got caught.

I made it by using this really good instrument I made up. It’s used for blowing up an exercise ball but I made it into an instrument. I went down to dad’s studio and I went into the recording room. I played the instrument and I made up all these other sound effects too and dad recorded me. I did all the sound effects in real time. You won’t believe me but it’s really true. I did all of that in one day, no assistance, just one person.

Here are the mp3 files of the music. I also have some illustrations! So take a look at them and have fun!

P.S. Mom just thinks it’s “wonderful and inventive” music.

Arthur’s Best Homework In The History of His Own Entire Life

Monday, March 5th, 2007

I watch “Arthur” on PBS. I’m a big fan. He has really funny episodes and an active imagination. Some shows show how good his imagination is.

I wanted to do a radio show of Arthur. Mine is a little late now but I made it last Tuesday after my piano lesson. That day I also got a toy in from E-Bay! I did the radio show by using the instrument I used to do the Haunted House song except now it wasn’t haunted, it was hilarious. I made almost all the voices. I did Buster and Sharkowski and Arthur. Sharkowski is this incredible shark but when he was young he was abducted by aliens and became a bully, but an intelligent bully. I made Sharkowski up. This Sharkowski is different from the Sharkowski in “My Gym Partner is a Monkey” a game on Cartoon Network. The one in “My Gym Partner is a Monkey” has a high squeaky voice, while mine has a big loud yell and a deep voice that echoes. My Sharkowski is really smart and invents machines. Instead of normal dodge ball he does robotic dodge ball and lets his robot assistants toss the dodge balls. He’s the coach but whenever he’s around you don’t want to be around because he’s a total danger!

My dad did Arthur’s dad.

I can do Sharkowski’s voice really well.

I made up all the dialogue. And I did almost all the sound effects. Daddy came up with some like the closet. When DW opened Arthur’s closet. We used a shaker for all the stuff that came out of the closet.

There’s a lot of hilarious stuff like the ham sandwich. And Buster sounds like an idiot!

Sharkowski also does funny stuff.

There will be a lot of different episodes and one will be flea invasion where there are itchy with fleas. They will have human intelligence and grow into the size of humans by aliens supersizing them and they will invade! The story is really long and really really funny. There is a comedy part like when Sharkowski burps and he does the loudest burp in history. But Sharkowski has a long story and no one will want to meet him because he’s a tough fellow. He’s not a good friend, but he’s a good friend of other bullies. He tells lies so long that no one can believe him ever again. When no one believed him anymore he felt like a fool, a weak person, like someone who when they say it’s the end of the world, no one will believe him. So he became angry and evil and decided to have revenge. But even bullies can do something funny!

You might have almost forgotten now about my radio show “Arthur’s Best Homework in the History of His Own Entire Life”. So I’m going to give you one warning. You should believe in everything because everything wasn’t the way it was in real life. It’s just part of the radio show. And avoid Sharkowski! He did a lot of wedgies this morning. And Arthur had a big warning too–stay in your story where you belong! He learned that warning when he accidentally fell into the wrong story.

Arthur’s Homework Adventure

P.S. Another episode will be “Attack of the Five Eyed Men”. It’s got a scary title but it’s a comedy.

Elmo’s Funny Trip

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

Well, I made this incredible comic. It’s called Elmo’s Big Trip! Guess what? It’s about Elmo leaving home and going on a big trip. I did this comic because President Bush keeps trying to get rid of shows like Sesame Street and I made this comic to support it. You won’t believe what happens in this comic! It’s really funny. Bush is the hot rod that’s red and trying to crash into Elmo and get rid of Sesame Street. But Elmo makes it home safe.
