The Blog About Nothing

I went to the movies with two of my friends, Autumn and Robert. We saw Eagle Eye. Now that all the unimportant details are out of the way, let's skip to the good stuff!

My eye caught one of those prize machines. You know, the kind where you see the lights go around and around really fast, then when it gets to a prize you like, you hit the button. If you're lucky, the light stops on the prize. So I tried it twice. No success the first time. But the second time, I got a balloon helicopter! I was hoping for the Nintendo DS, but that would have worked out too well.

Autumn and Robert figured I'd be disappointed, but they obviously don't know my inner child too well. So, being me, I got all excited and I was like "We gotta try this thing out dudes!". Of course they, being the serious quiet ones, rolled their eyes in a jovial manner and I dashed out the door of the theater. I bust the package open and quickly read the instructions. I got some help from Robert, 'cause he's a carpenter and all. So once it was put together, the way it was supposed to work was you blow the balloon up, attach it to the bottom of the 'copter, and when you let go the air rushes out of the balloon and it FLIES!!!

The first time we tried, it went up like 30 feet! Not unlike a certain marshmallow shooter with which I'd like to shoot Biden with. I was so scared that it would get stuck on the roof. But it didn't, it came down. I was like "That... was... AWESOME!". And again, Autumn and Robert didn't cease to be amazed by my easy amusement. So for like 20 minutes we kept playing with it and a couple of people were watching. We also discovered the ballon helicopter squeaks! It was so epic. Maybe I'll bring it to school on Monday.
