Narnia Commercial!
In a recent television commercial for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Edmund says a line that he does not say in the movie. He says, "It's a talking beaver!", whereas in the movie, he just gives an expression that speaks miles. So watch more television -- you might see Skandar and his 4 extra words. Later!
Show Your Skandar Support at School!
Just an idea: You can print an assortment of Skandar pictures and quotes out on lined paper. (Just be sure to use the 'washout' option on the picture, so it isn't so dark.) **hint: Don't turn in your A+ assignments on Skandar paper if you have a grumpy and/or strict teacher. Trust me; I know.
...Also, if you have not yet written to Skandar, I would recommend doing so. People do get replies, they just take awhile. Follow the instructions on http://www.fanmail.biz/77679.html
Teaching Oaf Continues to be Difficult ... No New Website Yet.
A couple of days ago, I worked up the courage to ask the same tech-teacher as mentioned earlier for help on turning a picture (of Skandar, of course) into a toolbar with links. It was a pointless idea, really. He takes one look at the picture and says, "No." I pleadingly ask why, and he says, "It's not for the bettering of mankind." At that, I had to fight back a laugh. This teacher does nothing but advise people in playing mindless "twitch-games" and yet there he was, acting as it he cared about improving the universe. Ha! I figured it out anyway, and as soon as I get the OK from my parents on downloading some new software, then I can be on my way to making an improved Skandar fansite. To see the new (and perhaps temporary) Skandar fansite made by mostly by Angie and also me, please go to http://freewebs.com/skandarsonofadam
Skandar: "The Turkey Named Alex"
So I was in the computer-tech room at school during lunch, (with Angie) when the technology teacher comes along. He asked us if we realized that we were the only girls in the entire room ("Uhh, yes I suppose we are") and proceeds to monitor what we were doing. Of course, we were updating a Skandar website. He reads some of the website and says, "His name is Skandar?" He absolutely butchered the pronounciation, so I quickly corrected, "It's Skandar. And 'Skandar' is like Turkish for Alexander" The miserable teaching oaf quickly retorts, "So you girls are in love with a turkey named Alex?!" After that Angie and I learned that is it best to merely ignore him. It's a pity, really, because we could have used his computer skills to help with the website.
