The Scarlet Pimpernel


Well, I have just completed "The Scarlet Pimpernel" by Baroness Orczy, and I absolutely loved it! I thought it had a unique, intriguing plot with many exciting twists and turns! Despite the romance, it definately makes my list of super awesome books! Oh, I should post that list sometime huh? Well, maybe another day. Anyway (sorry short attention span going on here), I hope to someday see the musical! It was so much fun reading it out loud to myself, even if my sister thought I was crazy. It made it much easier to understand when you're listening to yourself. So, if you were totally and completely confused by this book I suggest reading it over again out loud with emotion and accents over Spring Break! It truly is fantastic! And so are waffles! Yay!

Snollygoster! What a fantastic word! Isn't it amazing?! And here comes the very best part. . . . It's a REAL WORD! Oh yeah, you read correctly! Snollygoster is most certainly a real wonderful word. So, what in the word does it mean? Guess! Guess! Please, go ahead and guess! (keep 'em guessin, right?) AnYwAy, now that you have all mentally submitted your hypothesises, I will reveal the answer! If you guess that snollygoster is a Russian type of stiletto heel, you are absolutely wrong! Haha sorry, and it's not a British expression meaning "Oh My!" either. Snollygoster is first of all, a noun, and is defined as a person who cannot or should not be trusted! People would display me as a snollygoster with sharp objects, graceful dancing, and probably kerosene (Tehe Zach). So. . . CONGRATULATIONS! You have learned something new this day just by coming to Random Thoughts Emporium! Way to bee! Keep on buzzing! Okay! Now turn off the computer and do something adventurou...

Writing Block

           So here I am, sitting at my computer, at 5:30 in the morning. There is something wondrous and important to be written. Something everyone needs to read. Something enjoyable, magical, with fantastic imagery and marvelous descriptive words.  Words that would brighten every one's day, help those in need, lighten up the sad, inspire someone to go out and serve. But instead, here I am, frozen solid at my desk, because I do not consist of the simplest of an idea of what those words are. This is what I call a writing block.           Writing blocks are so incredibly annoying. They are like a cage, just holding you back from the beautiful sunshine you want to bask in, the luscious,  fragrant flowers of endless vibrant colors. The magnificent oak trees, standing tall, proud, and firm to show off there beautiful green leaves of summer, which are begging to give you their sweet, fresh oxygen. The sparkling blue river ready to give you his refreshing cool water. The lattice on this ...

Nicole Ortiz as Sandy Cheeks: A Spectacle and A Triumph

 SpongeBob the Musical was a joyful celebration of friendship, hope, and goodness. The whole cast and crew put forth beautiful efforts and talents to make a spectacular show. Central to the show's success was the actress playing Sandy Cheeks, Nicole Ortiz. It is clear that Ortiz has innate talent and charisma that must have made her a clear choice in casting. However, the incredible amount of effort this role took to master can only be estimated as immense. With high kicks, impeccable flips, and being the most polished dancer on stage, the physical feat was truly a spectacle to witness. This is not to be overshadowed by her spectacular vocal power. In every song she performed in (so many!!), Ortiz maintained beautiful tone, while masterfully mixing her voice in the right moments to bring the delight expected in a great musical experience. In the trio of Spongebob, Patrick, and Sandy, She was the sensei that held the team and show together throughout. Sandy taught her friends and th...
