MUSIC: 4/20/18 No Grass Today by AJR 💚

By -
WOOOOOOOOOO 4/20 BLAZE IT UP!!!! (ahaha what is wrong with me. Seriously, drugs are not the way to go). Anyway, for some people, this may seem like the most important holiday in the year next to Christmas or whatever, so I feel like I have to post about it. And what better song to talk about than a song about not smoking grass (no serious).

AJR is a highly underrated techno/edm group or whatever. I found out about them after they played on Jimmy Kimmel a few months ago, and ever since them I have been in love.

Part of their most recent album is this song No Grass Today, and I absolutely love it. One of the main things I like is the chorus. IT IS SO CATCHY. Adam (I think) literally has the most soothing voice. Not like go to sleep soothing, but it isn't like arrogant or whatever, it's just laid back and amazing. And the lyric, while dumb, is actually kind of cool I guess. "I didn't smoke no grass today, but that's because I love to play, but who am I to take away, what makes you feel so great". Not really sure how to react to it, but idk it just is amazing.

There's also this really cool part (toward the end?) Where it goes all autotune/techno and is pretty phenomenal. It adds this musical variety to the song that I kinda needed. The whole thing was kind of monotonous and then it completely switches up at that part. overall, the song is pretty good.

Listen on YouTube and Spotify

My first author interview posted on this blog (can you believe it?)! Today's author interview features bestselling author of Ungifted, The Hypnotist, Schooled, and Masterminds  Gordon Korman! I asked him a couple questions about his books, and writing in general,which he gratefully responded to. Q1-  What was your inspiration for writing these amazing stories? For example, how does one simply think to write about an ungifted kid going to a gifted school? A1-    My story ideas just come to me. I don’t want to question it too much, because I would hate to have it stop happening! But really, most authors don’t require what you call “inspiration.” We write because we have something to say. That’s just about all it takes to start us scribbling. Q2-  I feel like you’ve been asked this a million times, but your strategy for avoiding writer’s block? A2- Can you believe it? I’ve never had writer’s block. I think my reason is that I plan my story thorough...

OMG ITS A SPY SCHOOL- FUNJUNGLE CROSSOVER FANFIC *preview edition*

By -
 Merry Christmas to all! Sure it's still two days before but who says we can't celebrate early. As a surprise I'm in the process of writing a Spy School-FunJungle crossover snazzapalooza fanfic! Here is a little preview which I know you'll enjoy.... “Are you sure this is December?” Warren yelled from the back. Chip went and wacked him on the head with a newspaper as if he were an annoying fly buzzing around you. “It’s Texas you moron, it isn’t like DC! Instead of snow and hot chocolate they have sandy beaches and lemonade year round” You couldn’t blame Warren though; we flew over sunny lands grassy patches when just a couple hours ago we were fighting through a biting wind and treading through a snow just to board the plane.   We were trying our best to get along because after the whole stop-SPYDER-from-blowing-up-New-York fiasco the academy figured we were ready for some field work (who knows what they were thinking with Warren). The agency had gotten ...
