The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Hi guys! Today I'm going to review the first 6 episodes of a TV series I recently started watching called The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

So this show was created by a comedian named Tina Fey who my dad really likes. The first episode starts out with Kimmy and three others girls being found in an underground bunker. They were held captave there by a priest. The girls were told that the apocalypse was coming and that they were the only survivors. The police finally found them and the priest was arrested. Kimmy and the other three girls were called The Mole Women. Kimmy decides she wants to live in New York City.

She finds a roommate and she gets a job working as a nanny/assistant for a rich family. In the second episode Kimmy throws a birthday part for the little boy in the family that she works for which makes her job permanent. There is a 15 year old girl in the family that has an attitude problem that Kimmy grounds because her step mother can't. In the third episode Kimmy gets a date from the rich woman she works for. When she gets to the restaurant she finds out the man is really old.

In the 4th episode she goes with the woman she works for to her plastic surgeon. Kimmy gets her scream lines removed and she later comes back because she wants a whole new face. Kimmy realized that her past would't go away just because she had a new face so she didn't follow threw with it. In the 5th episode Kimmy gets a boyfriend, the tutor of the rich family, and one of the mole women visit her. When her friend comes she brings her boyfriend who turns out to be gay but he's taking care of her. He proposes to her and she says yes. Kimmy got dumped by the tutor because she said she loved him and he thought it was moving to fast. In the 6th episode Kimmy went back to middle school to graduate and eventually get her degree and start traveling the world.

So this show is really funny. I would give it a 9 out of 10. If you like comedies I highly recommend this show. I look forward to watching more episodes.

Star Trek Beyond Review

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write a movie review on Star Trek Beyond witch I saw at the Alamo Friday night with my family. SPOILER ALERT.

So the movie starts out with the crew of the Enterprise finding an alien girl who says her ship was invaded and taken by someone. They take her back to the base and they're sent on a mission to go where her ship and crew was taken, help her, and explore the area. The Enterprise is the only ship with high enough technology to travel to that area. When they get there they don't have any connection to the star base.

They approach the area that the girl claims is where she was invaded. A large amount of ships come to the area and attack the enterprise. The Enterprise gets completely destroyed and most of the crew gets taken captive. The remainders, Captain Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Chekov, and the alien girl, escape in pods and land on the planet. Captain Kirk, Chekov, and the alien girl all land close to each other. Kirk automatically knows that the girl had lied and she claimed that she only did it because they had her crew and wouldn't let them go until she brought them to the planet.

Scotty lands near a girl who helps him escape some soldiers and then takes him to her ship which turned out to be the first space ship the federation made. McCoy and Spock drove one of the alien ships onto the planet and Spock gets stabbed when they land and McCoy does his best to help fix it. The three groups end up finding each other and making a plan to invade the base where the crew is being kept, energize them onto the old ship, and fixing the ship so they can leave. The aliens got away with a huge weapon and went to the star base where millions of people were to kill them all. They later realize that it's the old captain of the ship that's doing this. Kirk defeats him and he falls into a deep pit and dies. Kirk is saved by Spock and McCoy.

I thought this was a pretty good movie and I liked the girl who helped Scotty. She was putt into the academy to become an officer. i would give this movie a 7 out of 10.

Eleanor and Park Book Review

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write a book review on a book I just finished called Eleanor and Park. This book is written from the prospective of both Eleanor and Park. It switches back and forth.

So the book starts out around halfway threw the school year and Park sees a new girl get on the bus. She sticks out to everyone because of her bright red hair and the fact that she dresses like a boy. She has no place to sit and Park feels bad for her so he moves over and tells her to sit. They don't talk for about two weeks until Park caught Eleanor reading his comic once. When she stood to get off the bus he handed the comic to her. He brought more comics for her every day. One day he asked her what she thought about them. They talked everyday since about comics and music.

They started realizing they had feelings for each other. They flirted a lot in school and on the bus. One day he walked over to Eleanors' house. When he got there he rang the door bell and Eleanor's drunk, high, and abusive stepdad answered the door. He let Eleanor come out for a little while. Eleanor told Park he couldn't come over again because of her stepdad. She asked her mom if she could go to her friends house after school and walk home. So she went home with Park. They started dating and Eleanor's family didn't know.

One day Eleanor and Park went on a date in town and when Eleanor got home that night her room was trashed and there was angry notes from her stepdad. She climbed out the window knowing that her stepdad would hurt her if he caught her. She ran to Parks house and he came out of his window. Eleanor was crying and she told him what happened. Park said he would take her to her uncles house after his parents fell asleep. On Parks way out his dad woke up and caught him. Park explained that Eleanor needed help badly so his dad let him go. When Eleanor got there she had to say goodbye to Park. Her Aunt and Uncle took her in and got all of Eleanor's siblings out of the house. So in the end Eleanor and Park couldn't be together because she had to leave.

I found this books ending very sad but also good that Eleanor got away from her stepdad. It was a very well written and fun book to read. I would rate this book a 8 out of 10. I recommend reading it!

Summer Hobbies and Projects

Hi guys! Today I'm going to talk about some new summer hobbies and projects that i've started recently.

My mom took me to Hobby Lobby a few days ago and I got a plain white shirt, some gems, and a hot iron tool. So I can custom make some shirts. I tried it the other day and it was pretty fun. I can also make patterns to put on transfer paper and then iron it on the shirt. I have special glue that works on things that aren't fabric.

My next summer project also involves clothes. I have a few clothes that don't really fit very well. So I'm going to adjust them so that they fit better. I have some dress straps to fix, a dress to turn into a shirt, and some pants I need to fix.

Lastly, I have two pillows to cover to match my room. I already sewed a cover for a third pillow. Another project I have to work on is making curtains for my closet. We got a really pretty fabric to make into curtains but we still need to get a curtain rod.

When these projects are done I think I'll like them a lot. I like that the pillows and curtains will make my room look better. I'm also looking forward to new clothes. I think my summer will be less boring with these projects. They should keep me occupied until school starts again.

Ocean City Vacation

Ocean City Vacation 

Hi guys! Today I'm talking about a week long trip my family takes to Ocean City, New Jersey every year. 

On our way down there we stop at It's A Toy Store so my dad and brothers can look around. Then we ate lunch at the Mays Landing Diner. When we finally got to Ocean City it was a reunion with my grandmother, aunt, uncle, and cousins. We only get to see them a couple times a year so Ocean City's a great time to catch up. 

In Ocean City I had a great time with my family, in the water, riding roller coasters, exploring the bored walk, and just enjoying being there. I had a mom and me day where my mother and I walked around the bored walk, ate lunch, shopped, drove go-carts, and just had a lot of fun. I got a beach happy from my grandmother, she took me to a skincare store on the bored walk and got me some things. We also had ice cream with my aunt Melody witch was a lot of fun.

The day before we went home my grandmother, father, and I got pedicures. My dad didn't get them painted he just got everything else. I got a really pretty blue color and my grandma got dark pink. The next day we got up around 7am and packed the cars to leave. We had lunch at a buffet and then we went to a brewery where my mom got some beer. We eventually got home around 5:30. 

I had a great time this year in Ocean City. I'm glad I got to see my grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousins!
