The Script for a Really Weird Shakespeare Play

JOE
Hello, Sally. Are you ready for our outing?

SALLY
Hello, Joe. (walks over to him) I am.

JOE
Then shall we--(looks at audience) Depart?

SALLY
Oh, Joe! Yes!!

JOE
This place we are going to-- I believe it is called... "Wal*Mart"

SALLY
Yes, I do think that is correct.

JOE
Then shall we go?

SALLY
You already asked that, and the answer is still yes.

JOE
Then; Come.

SCENE 2
At Wal*Mart

JOE
How are you liking our-- (looks at audience) Outing?

(A very large, very strangely dressed shopper walks by. SALLY stares at him/her as he/she walks by)

SALLY
O, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, that has such People of Wal*Mart in it!

JOE
Oh, my! Behold this boldly dressed culture!

SALLY
My, my. These creatures dress with such an arrogance! Showing off their un-shaven glutes! How not-goodly this world is!

JOE
Sally, I oblige you, close your eyes.

NARRATOR
These two guys were thus appalled,
That the self was not the same;
Single register's ticket name
Neither two nor one was called.
Reason, in itself confounded,
Beards and eyebrows grow together.

OAF
Hey! Who's that talking? Innercom lady? Where's the moo-moo dresses!

NARRATOR
And all your yesterdays have lighted you, fool
The way to un-fashionable death.

OAF
What?

NARRATOR
Goats and monkeys! Impudent strumpet!

OAF
Are you still talkin'?

NARRATOR
If I do not upchuck myself,
I am.


The end.

There..

Now tell me what you think of the new Art Drawer!!

Newscast Taping

I was in a taping of a newscast yesterday. It wasn't like, CNN or something. It was an assignment to write a transcript for a Greek/Roman "newscast." We all did other projects, but one of my friends, who also writes scripts, wrote a transcript and we all participated (there are six 6th graders in my class. All the rest are fifthies. d(; ) I played Persephone, goddess of gardens and flowers. Sarmasi played Demeter, goddess of agriculture, who is also Persephone's mother. Bigab played Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy.  Macreon played Larry Zuza (a play on the host of the CNN Student News show, Carl Azuz). Scarlett Telsarct played Dionysus, god of wine (the actress was a girl). And Rasim was our technician (all of their names were scrambled for security. Those aren't ACTUALLY their names).

Anyway, we all played our parts pretty well, and we recorded it in our school's newsroom. It was a lot if fun! If I can get access to it, I will post it here.

Keeping Mealworms

Do you have an amphibian or reptile that eats crickets or mealworms? Do you need to nurture them for science class? Or do you just want to keep them for fun? Do you have a small SMOOTH-SIDED Tupperware™ or bowl? You can keep mealworms easily, and for a long time. (Not the mealworm itself, but you can have a running cycle of them.)

You can obtain the mealies from Wal*Mart or any pet store. They come in small packages and come with their own meal (fine grained oats and other grains).

Life Cycle: 114-165 days to complete. First it is a larva, then a pupa (the mealworm stage), then it grows to adulthood (darkling beetle) where they mate and then die a few weeks after the eggs are laid. Also, they might go dormant for a couple days before the make their chrysalis to turn into beetles. (THE BEETLES FLY AND LAY UP TO 500 EGGS PER BETTLE. Try not to cause an infestation of your house.)

Genders: They are virtually genderless, though they do have indistinct genders. It is said that the males have smaller heads, and the females have larger ones (if the males' are smaller, then duh the females would seem larger. Doi).  You can find the gender by turning your mealworm on is back, or looking at its belly through a clear cup. Use a hand lens for this. The end closest to its 6 legs is its head. The side farthest is the tail. See the sections of the worms? Count seven down from the head. On a female, there will be a swelling and two outcroppings. This is most likely a female.

Keeping Materials:

• Shallow smooth-sided cup, bowl, or box
• Fine grains with no additives (e.g. Bleach in flour)
• Sticks, leaves, etc. etc.
• A lid with air holes or a rag with a small-medium hole (away from the sides of the container)
• Small fruit slices with HIGH water levels
• NO NO NO NO water EVER
• Mealworms!

Keeping Directions:

Lay the grain throughout the container. Add any leaves or twigs you want. Put in the small fruit slices around the box. Add the mealworm!

Now, just try to keep them healthy and safe. NEVER EVER EVER add water. No added moisture is needed, or they will die. They are hydrated form the water and other liquids in the fruit that they need to eat.


Mine's name is Leopold (Leo for short). I am trying not to get too attached because he is going to die soon. I am going to release him when he cocoons.

Happy mealing!
