A funny mystery at school......

ok, so today in language arts class my teacher mr.collins read us a really hard mystery and i was wondering if u guys could guess it (the mystery is from a site he found) .....ill give the answer in a few days...here it is:

A man lives on the twelfth floor of an apartment building. Every morning he wakes up, gets dressed, eats, goes to the elevator, takes it down to the lobby, and leaves the building for work. In the evening, he goes through the lobby to the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator (or if it was raining that day) he goes back to his floor directly. However, if there is nobody else in the elevator and it hasn't rained, he goes to the 10th floor and walks up two flights of stairs to his room.

can you guess the answer? (it took my class an hour to figure it out)

Luscious, Succulent, Delicious Brownie... what more can I say?

A busy city gal needs time to indulge, right? This microwave brownie can be made in five minutes and is best served warm, by itself. Add vanilla ice cream and you've got a clashing of delicious flavors, warm and cold all mushed up together, perfect for an anytime, anywhere treat. Works great afterschool, after dance class or after just about anything! It had relatively simple ingredients, so just about everybody can try them right now! The recipe is from an old Chicago Tribune article. Enjoy! (P.S. can be eaten off the floor, off the carpet and off the table if spilled.)

Mircrowave Brownies:

Ingredients:
-4 tablespoons flour
-4 tablespoons sugar
-2 tablespoons cocoa
-dash salt
-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-2 tablespoons water
-1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Mix all together in a microwave safe bowl or mug. My microwave is wacky so I only need about forty five seconds but you experiment with your own to see how long. I'd say you try for 30 seconds first, then check if it seems all right. Voila!
Also there is a recipe for microwave chocolate cake, the picture above is of the cake. I'll give you the recipe for the cake one day soon.
Also, neither of these recipes are mine or Mimi's, but you should have seen Mimi's face when I served her the brownie... absolute dee-lish!

Kiki's Video Game Review: James Bond 007 Nightfire

Both of us have this game, me for my PS2 and Mimi for her Gamecube . We always play the Multiplayer option. It is really amazing and fun,except I'm not too good at it. Um.... not being a video game fanatic, especially not one who adores shooting games, I don't have much to say. Now a book review is another thing...

OK. Concentrate. Um... Well, I'm the best with Pistols weapon set but Explosives One and the one with the Golden Gun are cool too. Ah it's the MI6 Operative. See, I told you I suck at this...

But over-all the multiplayer is a great way to beat your brother's butt at shooting games(I wish...)

A review on a great game..........

hEY!!! ok so this post will be about a video game me and kiki both have. it started off when i got the game for christmas (i think). and then i told kiki all about it and she got the game and we played forever. i personally love the game. my version is for ps3 and kiki's is for ps2. i like them all! the game is about lara croft tomb raider underworld. lara croft goes on a quest to find out what happened to her dead father. she goes to places all over the world, mainly underworlds in mexico, arctic sea, south america, etc. she would go through underworlds which her father had been in and found different things that have deadly powers. But for those of you who are familiar with the lar croft series, what is an adventure without any villains. well......lara encounters villans such as undead creatures, vikings, all sorts of wild animals and even mercenaries.... (trust they are wilddddd). she does a lot of acrobatic things which i find impressive. and i highly dought this game if=s for for the faint-hearted because in a scene a ginormous (seriosluy) guant squid or octopus thingamajig and i literally was a itsy bt close to fallng off my bed when playing. i mean come on, how many times do you encounter a giant squid popping out in the middle of nowhere. lets just say that level (meditteranean sea) freaked me out.........a lot, but believe me i love a good fright...... continuing on...... Another part of the game i love is the fact that you can move freely and can go ANYWHERE unlike most other games where a invisble border blocks your way off into the jungle. there was a level where you battle these mercenaries on a ship, and it was awesome! i used to be terrified of gunshots in video games, and attacking overall, but now i love it! it is for me the best game ever! i cant wait until i see the next one.......
