Goosebumps- The Cuckoo Clock Of Doom
By R.L. Stine
Whoah! Now this book has an amazing thing about it.
(DON’T WORRY THERE ARE NO SPOILERS)
The author wrote this book in such a way that when reading you get the feelings from main character, Michael.
Michael has a younger sister called Tara which is without a doubt one of the most annoying siblings you could ever end up with.
She is always embarrasing him infront of friends or getting him into trouble.
The author does such a good job at transferring the anger from Michael into the reader. I found myself getting really angry and wanting to bang the table.
It all changes one day, his dad brings home an old clock from Anthony’s Antiques shop. His dad tells him and Tara to not lay a finger on it. If he caught either of them touching it they would be in big trouble.
Michael saw this as an opportunity to get Tara in trouble . . .
Have to stop their folks.
Read it and see what happens.
I particually liked the ending, it was well pieced together and I was left waiting for more.
All I was left with was the preview of another book at the back.
I hope there is a sequel to this.
I was left going “Awww! Don’t end there!”
The moment you’ve all not-really been waiting for,
I announce, to you, the not-greatest, not-amazingest thing in the whole entire history of not-so-good things!!!
So I can finally rip up the under construction sign and get on with explaining the updates!!!

You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, She’s upset
She’s going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do
I’m in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I’m listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she’ll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you’ll wake up and find
That what you’re lookin for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you’ll wake up and find
That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I’m the one who makes you laugh when you know you’re about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it’s with me.
Can’t you see that I’m the one who understand you?
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

Music Video-
Review- A good song that gets stuck in your head. The music video is set like a story which is very unlike many music videos these days. In fact the music video has been at the top of the music video charts in iTunes for along time now. Right at the top in 1st place it is. Shows you how much the music video appeals to people aye?
The other day I decided to have a crack at drawing Toon Link from the Legend of Zelda Wind Waker. I was overall very happy with the end result.
Here’s the stuff:
First I looked up a picture of Toon Link:
Now I looked at this picture and thought, I don’t want him holding some wand thing, or holding his hand in the air as if he is about wack a fly off his arm.
So I changed the stuff I didn’t like . Here’s my version. What do you think? I know his face looks different, personally I didn’t like the face on the original so I changed it. But I didn’t stop there. Time to add some colour . . . Now that he has a coloured appearence he looks alot better! Click on the image to see the full sized image. But I didn’t stop there, I decided to add a background. I made the background in a more sketchy form so that Toon Link wouldn’t blend into the back image. I also darkened up the lines on Toon Link and Navi (the little floating thing to the right of his head) to ensure that when you look at the picture you see Link more than the background behind him.
You go have a go! It’s pretty fun!
Remember click on the pictures to get a fullsized image,
You can download them if you want.
I have the finished one on my mantlepiece now.
First go to the grand exchange and buy 200 dry clay. You heard me right. Buy the clay.
Now go and make this clay soft clay with buckets or bowls in Varrock at the Eastern Bank.
Fill up the bowls or buckets by going to the fountain nearby filling the bowls up then banking them.
Make the soft clay and go back to the Grand Exchange.
Sell your clay and you will get twice the amount of money that you payed for them.
Slow down, Lie down,
Remember it’s just you and me.
Don’t sell out, bow out,
Remember how this used to be.
I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let’s get closer tonight
[chorus:]
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don’t shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we’re going nowhere,
But one last time let’s go there,
Lay down beside me
Oh, I’ve found, that I’m bound
To wander down that one way road.
And I realise all about your lies
But I’m no wiser than the fool I was before.
I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let’s get closer tonight
[chorus]
Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?
[chorus x2]
Yeah, lay down beside me.
One last time let’s go there,
Lay down beside me

Review- I really like this song, but it depends on what version of the song you get. Paolo Nutini isn’t very well known but trust me go check out his songs and you’ll be surprised.
