Vocabulary Words 2-22-12: What did you do instead of watching the oscars?

During the week off my family and I went on a family vacation to Costa Rica. On Sunday I spent 12 hours traveling simply to get home. Unfortunately, I had a migraine on the plane and my face was pallid as can be. I felt that it took extreme temerity to make it through the flight without crying or becoming querulous, especially when my sisters thought that I was lying and repeatedly said pejorative things.

Stephen King Mini Stories

My favorite story out of the 5 mini stories by Stephen King was "Earliest Memory". This story was about the first injury that Stephen could remember having, which was a bee sting followed by 5 broken toes. It was concise and to the point, yet still had enough detail to paint a picture of the scene. I did not feel bored during this story I was eager to see what would happen to the hapless two year old Stephen King. As I was reading I was thinking about Stephen King's views and advice with regard to proper description and found that I enjoyed the amount of detail used in this story, and the fact that I still had room to creatively picture the setting and characters.

Vocabulary Words 2-6-12: What was your favorite part of the Superbowl?

My favorite part of the Superbowl this year was the Cirque De Soleil trapeze artist performing. He was fastidious when he did his act and the control and bravery that he showed was awe-inspiring. While I do love trapeze, tight rope, and other various circus acts, it would take a lot to goad me into performing in front of such a large, expectant crowd. Overall, this performance was effervescent and the most interesting part of the Superbowl.
