Drive-in

So i don't have any pictures for this one cause I was a loser and forgot my camera at home, but Alex and I went to the drive in last night.

Beforehand we loaded Alex's truck up with anything we could think of the make the bed of it comfortable, plus plenty of blankets for both of us so we could stay warm. Then, of course, we went to Fred Meyers and bought junk food/pop. We were wearing our PJ's so we got a bunch of looks from random people, but whatever. We didn't care.

The two movies we saw were Iron Man 2 and How to Train Your Dragon. Iron Man, for me, wasn't very good. There were really only two major action scenes and neither of them were spectacular. The rest of the movie was boring and there wasn't really a plot to follow. Not one I would buy.

How to Train you Dragon on the other hand, I love. It was my second time seeing it because my family saw it for mothers day, but it is just as good the second time around. For sure that is one i want to own.

It was a lot of fun and we are planning on going a couple more times this summer...assuming the movies are good.

Mizu

Alex surprised me the other day by taking me out to a new restaurant. Before hand all he told me was dress semi nice. So i had no idea what to expect. The restaurant he took me to was Mizu.


Us outside the restaurant.


I wanted to take a picture of out table cause I thought it looked cool, and of course, Alex jumped in at the last second. He's so cute.


They cooked our food right in front of us and this is the chief lighting up the grill. It was super warm. That was nice cause I was cold almost the whole time.


The first thing he did was spin and egg on the grill and got it moving super fast then he flicked it up in the air. Then he used his spatula and was almost juggling the egg in the air. When he finally let it drop, it hit the grill and slit perfectly down the center. It was way cool.


He also made what he called a "onion volcano". He un-layered a slice on onion and made a volcano out of it, then poured whatever he used to make the fires...cause i highly doubt it was gasoline.. and poured that inside the top of the onion and lite it.

This was the initial fire, but i wanted this picture at the end cause I think it looks the coolest.

The image and service at the restaurant was really amazing. Having them cook in front of us was super cool too. The price was up there though, and the food was a little too salty for me. It still tasted good, but every couple bites I had to swallow it with a mouth full of pop so I could get past the saltiness.

Another minor cool thing, they had the coolest ice cubes!!!

Cow Tipping

So I wrote an article in my journalism class that I really like so I'm going to post it so you can read it if you would like. I write for the satire section, so keep that in mind.



Enumclaw campus to offer Cow Tipping&101 for Fall Quarter

By: Jessi Cheney

Starting Fall Quarter, the Green River Enumclaw campus is offering new classes for their students, one of them being Cow Tipping-&101.

Cow Tipping&101 is designed specifically for the Enumclaw campus. 98% of Enumclaw families own cattle farms so the school board thought it would be beneficial to offer the students the chance to learn all about tipping cows.

There is more to this class than just tipping cows, however. Over the course of the quarter, students will learn how to tip cows, protect their families cows from cow tipping, and debate all the controversial topics related to cow tipping. The class also provides students with veterinary experience to correctly help bovine back up and repair potential injuries received during the tipping.

“Because cows cannot get up themselves, we have to do it.” Says Holly May, one of the instructors for the class. “It’s a massive amount of work and usually takes all day and sometimes well into the next day because some of the cows get injured.”
Originally, there was debate on whether the course should be transferable. Advocates pushed for the class to be transferable, and as of right now, they have won their case.

Cow tipping isn’t the only new subject that might be added to the class listings. Safe Bestiality 101 is also being considered.

Students attending Green River’s main are intrigued and interested as in why the Enumclaw campus gets an easy class, while the main campus just has regular courses.

“I think if the school board is going to put a cow tipping class over in Enumclaw, they need to put an easy class for us here too,” Commented student Victor Kurnk. “Like maybe Squirrel hunting.”

The new course in Enumclaw has raised suspicion in a lot of people. They feel that the only reason the school is offering the class is so the students will have a higher grade point average , which will in turn raise the school’s reputation.
The School Board, however, says they are only offering the classes for the benefit of the students. Humphry stated there is no motive behind the class other than to inform the students about the controversial topics of cow tipping and the safe practices of bestiality; the new courses will be taken no different than any other course they already offer.

Though the school board is pleased with the idea of this new class, some staff members, and even some students at the Enumclaw Campus, have their own opinions behind the new class.

“I think this class is a great idea,” stated English Profesor Charles MaCoy. “In my personal opinion I think the school board needs to come up with corky classes like that for every campus. It’s a great way for the students to get an education, but have fun at the same time.”

The class, will in the Enumclaw’s 2010-2011 Course Catalogue. Enumclaw residents believe the class will be a huge hit.
