Tuesday was my birthday and I got a new series by Rick Riordan. It is called Heroes of Olympus. I was expecting to list the funny chapters but guess what? The chapters titles are just people’s names. So I guess I have nothing to write about.
Month: January 2013
Dictionary – Be Quiet For Once!
sca-tol-o-gy (scatological): Obscene language or literature especially that deals humorously with excrement and excretory functions.
Okay. Thanks a lot dictionary. That is the definition of scatology. In case you don’t know what those big words were. In other words, someone had a potty mouth.
This is a picture of a sock monkey dressed as Mozart (from mediamolecule via Compfight cc). And you are probably thinking right now at your house, “Why does he even put a picture of a sock monkey dressed as Mozart?” Well here’s your answer. Mozart had scatological humor. In other words, he had a potty mouth. According to my music teacher, Scott, Mozart would say something really really bad in front of someone who would say, “Oh my goodness.” And Mozart wouldn’t even care.
You see, sometimes famous musicians sometimes have a negative aura.
aura : 1. An invisible breath, emanation, or radiation. 2. A distinctive but intangible quality that seems to surround a person or thing.
Once again. Thanks dictionary!
Dictionary: “Why thank you!”
New Series!
I finished the Percy Jackson series and now I’m reading the Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan. Once again.
This series is based on Egypt but they travel all over the world. I bet if I looked at the chapters I can tell who the author is because all of his chapters are super funny. And, in The Red Pyramid Chapter 15 is called A Godly Birthday Party. In the Percy Jackson series it was also all about gods.
I’m going to do the same thing that I did for all of Rick Riordan’s books in other blog posts. I’m going to write the funny chapters. Okay, so here they are.

Art by Robo: Abstract Drawing Inspired by Joan Miro
This is a picture that I drew in art class. I don’t know what it is because it was abstract. My teacher told us that we were going to make a picture that was like Joan Miro‘s artwork.
You can watch this video that shows Joan Miro’s work:
Ultimate Dog Tease
MEAT!
Bananagrams Gone Wrong
Our house is falling apart. My dog is going to Vegas. The chimpanzee is dying. The gerbil is eating all our food. The cat is just going to blow everything up. Now that is just great!
Please send help!
Brickworld 2012
I went to this awesome place called Brickworld for Father’s Day. It was in Wheaton, IL. We surprised my Dad for Father’s Day! The picture above shows one of my favorite creations.
You can see a guided tour here:
My dad knocked down some guys in the medieval castle. He tried to fix it but he couldn’t. So much for the lego master builder! My dad just said, “So much for your Minecraft privileges!” See my post about Minecraft for Dummies if you don’t know what Minecraft is.
We saw this lego creation that was a copy of Escher’s Relativity. I liked the Luke Skywalker with Darth Vader in the right hand corner.
My mom really liked the Alice in Wonderland creations.
The 2013 Brickworld Chicago Event will be held at the Renaissance Hotel & Convention Center in Schaumburg, IL on June 15 and 16. You can read more here: http://www.brickworld.us/
Scoop the Poop!
Sorry for the inconvenience. I wanted to add this list of funny chapters to the other post I wrote about Rick Riordan books but I want to have as many blog posts as possible so I’m writing a new post.
OK. Here are the chapters for book #4 of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Battle of the Labyrinth. I didn’t add these funny chapters before because I just finished the book last night.
- I Battle the Cheerleading Squad
- Nico Buys Happy Meals for the Dead
- We Visit the Demon Dude Ranch
- I Scoop Poop
- We Play the Game Show of Death
- My Brother Duels Me to the Death
- Grover Causes a Stampede
- My Birthday Party Takes a Dark Turn
This book was my second favorite. My favorite book in the series so far is the Titan’s Curse, number 3.
King Tut’s Temple?
This is a picture of a pyramid that I found in Minecraft.
There is no one in it which is kind of weird because what great ancestor of King Tut abandons his pyramid and just leaves it there?
And why would he go to the realm of Minecraft? If you know the answers to these questions please leave them on the comments.
We lost!
I went to a basketball game for Northwestern University and they were facing Iowa. We lost unfortunately. We were rooting for Northwestern. The final score was 50 to 70. We were sitting in a group of Iowa fans and there were these two people who kept standing up in front of us for no reason. At half-time there was this lady who did acrobatics and she jumped on a beam and did two flips and landed on her feet onto the beam. It was super cool.
IMHO...thoughts from a Windy City kid
