Thunder Wolves Classic

High School, Swimming — Alisa on September 17, 2005 at 6:58 pm

Today was the Thunder Wolves Classic (swim meet). It was pretty busy, pretty long, and pretty hot. Started at 8:00 am, ended at 3:00 pm. I wanted to take a picture to post along with this, but I never got around to it. So I’ll give you a nifty article to read about it instead.

Ah, finally after 5 months of heat, I think fall has come to Arizona. I opened my window for the first time in 5 months.

At Mesa Relays! This swim meet only lets an individual swim two events, and they are only relays. Totally the best meet ever invented.

Red Eye

Crumbs, High School — Alisa on September 4, 2005 at 2:32 pm

4 out of 5 stars

Director: Wes Craven
Starring: Rachel McAdams, Cillian Murphy

What a great suspense thriller! A lot of times you can predict the ending of this sort of movie, and it is unnecessary to watch the middle. Not so here. I mean, you could predict the ending, kind of, but it is totally necessary to watch the middle.

So Lisa is a hotel manager in Miami. And she takes a flight with a bad guy who needs her to help him help other people kill the Secretary of Homeland Security. And that’s all I’m going to say.

The Bottom Line: See the movie if you like suspense. I doubt it will get much mention at any movie awards, but it is a really great production.

Don’t leave a Bad Impression

“Hey Helmand, who’s this?” The Evil Teacher pointed an accusing finger at me and my beautifully hip cowboy hat.

“This is Alisa, sir.”

I waved and grinned.

“Alisa, you wanna keep your hat?” The Evil Teacher thundered. He was obviously very jealous of my hat. Behind him gym students peeked out to see what the commotion was.

“Yes.” I grinned again. He was too concerned with my hat that he didn’t notice that I did not have any form of ID on.

“You better take it off!”

I removed the hat like a cowgirl should–with a slight bow.

“Uh, Mr. Keiser sir, we have to go,” Helmand broke in.

We turned down another hall and broke out in a run.

“No running in the halls!” Boomed The Evil Teacher’s voice behind us. Helmand threw back his head and laughed. I smashed my hat back on my head.
