Finally the end of March!

I have been waiting for March to end for a long time...this month has just bored me. :) But I am excited that flowers are now blooming and that April is here tomorrow! And, also, the Google logo has changed for Robert Bunsen's 200th birthday! Obviously, he is still not alive, but Google paid tribute to him by making this cool logo(on the actual Google website, it's animated!):

Energy Drinks

Even though I just posted yesterday, I felt like posting today too. This is a nutrition post, about...energy drinks! Almost everybody loves Coke and/or Powerade, but they are not too healthy! In one can of 12 oz. Coke, there is 10 teaspoons of sugar! That's like 20 sugar cubes! And that is definitely not healthy for anybody. 
And Powerade is made of sugar syrups and salt, like Gatorade. So even though, sometimes, whether if these beverages or any other energy drinks may tempt you, stay away from them. But if you haven't had a Coke or other energy drink in a really long time or are about to exercise a bunch, then I guess it is fine... :)

Science Fair/Vegas Pictures

 Sorry I haven't posted in a while...but I was doing something. I had my science fair in school (Meridian Elementary). My project was about Stealth, a technology used to make airplanes invisible on a radar. It was called Stealthy Shapes, and I did it with a partner. And we won! For sixth grade engineering. :)

By the way, in December, I went to Las Vegas with my family and friends. I was looking through the pictures, and found some cool ones....                                                                                                                            
This is a beautiful fountain in the hotel that we stayed in.
                                             
This is a nice view of the Las Vegas strip
This is a hotel called Treasure Island.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St.Patrick's Day! I hope you wore green! And if you didn't, I hope you didn't get pinched. :) This is a picture from Chicago... isn't it cool? (The river was died green for St. Patrick's Day).

Rango

Today I watched Rango, a movie about a lizard who's life changes when he gets thrown over a car and out of his 'cage', in the desert. The lizard is voiced by Johnny Depp.  In the first part of the movie, the lizard doesn't even know his name, but makes his up by looking at a bottle of cactus juice. :) This movie is very funny, and has a good theme to the story. The only thing I didn't like about it was that sometimes the animations of animals where quite 'creepy'. But otherwise, this is still a good movie and I would recommend watching it.
