Monk

Yesterday in class, we watched a TV show called Monk. The reason we watched Monk is because we have a Mystery unit and also because we have to see if there are any elements of a mystery in it. In this episode of Monk, there was a baseball match (or was it practice?) and one of the baseball players named Petey hit the baseball which went flying up in the air (it's out of the park!) and over the baseball arena. The coach told Petey to get the baseball but when he was there, there was a cadaver (hands shaking) of an old lady named Mrs Murphy. You may think that's the crime but it actually isn't. And then a couple went to Mrs Murphy's house and they found a voodoo doll of her. A week later, the same thing happpened to Ralph Ferris because he got shocked by lightning and then a voodoo doll was sent to him. And then paramedic Angelines uncle died and there was a voodoo doll. She was weeping about her own uncle and she brought in good luck charms but Monk noticed that a horse shoe decoration was upside down (because the horse shoe acts as a bowl which holds good luck but since it's upside down, it pours the good luck out). Now that's the crime! It's up to Adrian Monk to find out who was the killer of Angeline's uncle. But his assistant, Natalie received a voodoo doll and she was scared! Monk tries to tell her that it's all fake. Still, she was still frightened. Anyways, their first suspect was the shopkeeper of this freak shop (which has voodoo dolls in it) but he said he didn't do it. Later, Natalie was still scared so the shopkeeper comes in and tries to check what's wrong. He said that she's cursed and he'll take it out. So he puts all these disgusting ingredients all together in a bowl and then Natalie started drinking it! The shopkeeper said that it's supposed to be for her neck because the curse was to chop her head off. Monk calls 911 and then the ambulance arrived. Then Angeline (she was a paramedic, remember?) and some other guy carried Natalie into the Ambulance. Then Monk finds out that Angeline was actually the killer and the voodoo dolls were red herrings and then he goes out to chase her with the shopkeeper. And then he catches her. So, yeah, the episode has a surprise ending.

The Plastiki

The Plastiki is a catamaran with a hull made out of 12,500 bottles filled with air, and it was set sail from San Francisco to Sydney. The voyage was lead by David Rothschild who was the founder of the plastiki and he is also accompanied by 2 of his crew.  On the boat, they have solar panels, a vegetable stand so they can have food during the voyage and many more things. They're trying to tell everyone to recycle their own plastic bottles just like they did. That's why they invented the Plastiki.

Journal Writing: Sick!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry bout the last journal writing i wrote. it sounded crazy and I'm not gonna try to make a think, think, think part 3 to all of you who hated my previous journal writing and I'm saying sorry to the people who loved my previous writing. Anyways, I think I'm  gonnna write what i did when i was sick. Starting from the day before, after spanish class, i felt really sick so i went to the nurse. they said that i had tonsilitis( which i kinda normally get when im sick). Tonsilitis is this illness where your tonsils hurt ( that wobbly thing that hangs above your tongue just like in the cartoons and when Buck from ice age 3 was holding on that thing to get out of rudy's tooth) and you get fever too. my mom told me to gargle with this glass of salty water and to drink ginger and lemon water. day 2 or tuesday, my fever was gone but my tonsils hurt really bad more than the one in the first day. I asked nick wats the homework and then i did the homework like as usual except i didn't complete all of them and then i rested a bit and then slept. day 3 or today, I felt completely well!!!! and that's how I ended up sitting on this blue chair, with my hands on the laptop in q2 in middle school in cilandak in jis in jakarta in java in indonesia in southeast asia in asia in the world. actually, it isn't that wobbly thing but it is between its two sides.
