A couple of years ago I asked for Masterpiece Grimlock. I did get it...a couple years later. I'm too old for toys but I still collect them and couldn't say no to this guy.
This guy is a T-Rex dinosaur and transforms into a big robot. In dino mode he has little but very poseable silver chrome arms. He has bulky legs and metal toes which are also poseable. His tail can swing back and forth and his head can rotate with it. You can open his mouth and see rows of shiny silver teeth.
In robot mode his legs and arms are also poseable and sturdy. His robot head is on a ball joint and can move a lot. A switch on the back of his head can change his eye color from blue to red.
He comes with a transparent gun and sword. They are transparent so they shine when they are put into his right hand because of a red light in it. He also comes with some other stuff.
A problem with him is that it can be tricky to transform his tail into his robot legs. You also have to be careful because he has a lot of chrome and you might scratch that shiny stuff off.
This guy is great. He is sturdy and is an awesome display piece. All Transformer fans and everyone else should get this masterpiece.

One Direction "Up All Night" Review
 |

I love Up All Night for the talent that is behind it. The boys were formed on the X Factor UK so of course they must have gorgeous voices. Also, there are a lot of amazing songs like "I Want", "One Thing", "What Makes You Beautiful", etc. They are also very well written and have so much meaning behind them. I always seem to find foreign singers and musicians better than American ones because foreign singers like Ellie Goulding, Lights, and many more all have a very rich accent and language and their lyrics and vocals tend to be a bit better than your average local. One Direction is also very up-to-date with their songs and their lyrics mix perfectly with their accents and mostly, their personalities.
Some of the down sides about "Up All Night" is how some of the songs are such a cliche. Being boys, their going to try to make girls swoon by telling them how pretty they look or overwhelmed they get when girls flip their hair. It should be quite sappy for my taste because I'm sort of into indie pop or classical types and all that good stuff but something about their music is quite wonderful. Pop music alone doesn't typically suit my fancy and before I really listened to One Direction I would just think, "Ew. The typical boy band. Gross." Also, "Up All Night" has a few songs that just drag on and I can't really get into.
I would give One Direction's "Up All Night" a solid five stars. What?? Five stars to a boy band who have super awesome hair and sing love songs all day? Why, yes, five for you One Direction. You go One Direction. (Insider. You either know it or you don't. Here's a hint: Mean Girls) I think this album was well made and I hope 1D goes far with their talent.
forever 21
forever 21 is a fashion chain located all around the world. It's filled with such beautiful and fantastic clothes like dresses,skirts and more.Anybody who hasn't went to forever 21 is crazy!! If you haven't I'll give you a imaginary picture ok you walk in they have all these cute clothes and stuff nothing else, nothing less.
Whenever I go to the mall I always need to go there for some reason! I know other fashioners will agree. Anyways it's usually packed during the weekend, but not really weekdays.
There's basically 3 awesome thing about forever 21. One they have the most amazing clothes. That's where I mostly get my clothes.Second there worker are very nice, because they'll help you with any problem.Third they have clothes for everyone now, for woman,men,and children.
Sadly forever 21 has some problems like . First sometimes their clothes are spread around everywhere like a tornado. Second the clothes are not cheap, sometimes a shirt is like 20.00 dollars. That's it probably but I have to say Forever 21 is my favorite store of all time.

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum
 |
| Photo by bearexposed |
Recently, while on a trip in Las Vegas, I visited a museum known as Madame Tussauds. It's a really awesome place to visit because there are several locations scattered around the world. It's also pretty neat how the figurines look so alike to the celebrities and entrepreneurs they are sculpted after.
Some of the great things about these museums are the sculptures. In Vegas, they have several famous figurines like Britney Spears, Marilyn Monroe, and several other singers, athletes, actors, and so on. The figurines themselves aren't the fantastic thing about the museum, but the details the artists put into these sculptures are amazing. They even put replica clothes that the person actually wore in real life, so they look so realistic.
It's also a nice place to visit because there are different themes to each room in the museum. When I visited, they had this disco room, a classical/ timeless room, a past president's room. They even had a room modeled after the Oval Office in the White House where you could take pictures with the waxed Barack Obama. It was pretty amazing.
The bad things about this museum, on the other hand, include waiting in line. Since this place is a tourist attraction, you usually have to wait in a long line- in the hot Vegas sun. Another thing is all the kids that come into this museum. One kid, on seeing a Lion King broadway figure, jumped with joy and was very loud and clear that he wanted his mother to take a picture of him with it. They also like to touch the sculptures and I swear one little girl almost knocked Lady Gaga to the ground. Also, it gets crowded. It is an easy place to get to if you're vacationing in Vegas so a lot of people are there. Another thing is, the Hugh Hefner figure freaks me out a bit. I have also seen House of Wax and that place reminds me terribly of that movie.
Other than the obvious surface flaws of huge crowds, it's an awesome place to visit. I think they could probably expand the location, thus having a more open place to fit more people and to give others breathing room. About the sculptures, they are doing a wonderful job with their abilities to make them so life like. Madame Tussauds Wax Museums is definitely a place I would have the honor of visiting again. If you yourself are interested in going to this museum, or you just want to see the pictures of all the sculptures from each of the locations around the world, you can visit MadameTussauds.com.
Mass Effect series
Mass effect 1 story line is after you become a Spectre you try to stop Saren, another Spectre, a Turian who is trying to bring back the reapers. along thwe way of trying to stop him you have to gather information to be able to have a final confrontation.
In mass effect 2 you die but Cerberus a human organization brings you back to life. Commander Shepherd chases the people that killed him/her and finds out that the collectors are who killed him and they were once Protheans but the reapers transformed them into there "monstrous slaves". in the end Shepherd once again goes in for a suicide mission and can lose all of your team or save them all and whatever in between.
Mass effect 3 brings the fight to earth. so Shepherd has to gather a team to stop the reapers form the usual pattern they had been used to. The Mass effect series is awesome!
The Office
A couple of years ago I discovered this amazing show called The Office. I have been addicted to this show ever since.
This show is basically about co-workers in their job environment which is an office in Scranton, Pennsylvania and all the idiotic stuff they do. The characters in this mockumentary all have their own unique personality and you somehow get attached to them. If they are nice, sweet, naive, dumb, or foolish. It’s a different story each day. It’s nice to see them grow and in some cases mature during all the seasons.
The boss is a dumb guy who tries to be best friends with all his employees though they don’t really feel the same way. His right-hand man is a guy who has no common sense and is completely out of his mind. The others just stand by and watch them do their crazy stuff and occasionally take parts in it.
The Office has great characters, who occasionally go overboard. It also has amazing stories, though they don't seem to not flow as natural as they used to. There is always something that makes you laugh and smile. You get attached to them so much that you start talking to the TV as if they could really hear you. Thumbs up for The Office! Go watch it you will have a good time.
Five Stars for the Liars
Pretty Little Liars is an original show by ABC that is about four girls who are being threatened by an unknown person who knows their secrets.
The four girls, Emily, Aria,Hannah, and Spencer had a friend named Allison who went missing on labor-day weekend. A year later, her body was found, and the killer was unknown.
The four girls had been getting texts from a blocked number after Alli disappeared and the person, who called them self A, knew their secrets and tried to use it against them to hurt them. They had many suspects like a blind girl and a fake cop, but even after 2seasons, they still don’t know who killed Alli and who A is.

The only part about the show that is not so good is that sometimes is gets a little bit confusing because it is a mystery show and it has a tendency to make things sound really complicated. Since it is a mystery show, when A is revealed, the mystery will disappear on some episodes, it feels like it is pointless and that it just keeps going without any feelings of suspense or drama. Pretty Little Liars was also a book by Sara Shepard before the show, and that isn’t the best thing because it can give some things away. The producers said at the beginning of the show that they wouldn’t do it like how the book was, but they do have similarities which can be a give away.
Other then those small flaws, Pretty Little Liars is an amazing show filled with suspense(most of the time) and is a thrilling idea that makes you want to keep watching. It is filled with unexpected surprises and had sudden twists that nobody can possibly see coming that make you put your hand up to your mouth while you grasp with shock.
