Fly Me to the Moon was created by Summit Entertainment as the first ever animated 3D movie. It was released as a DVD this week, just in time for holiday shopping.
The movie is about Nat, a young housefly who is looking for adventure. He and two friends, I.Q. and scooter, come up with a plant to hitch a ride aboard Apollo 11 on its historic journey to the moon. As their families watch at home, the three flies become the first insects ever to journey into space. They also save the flight by repairing a potentially disastrous mechanical problem.
Since a Wii is on my family’s Santa list, I took my review copy of EA’s Boogie Superstar (with microphone) over to my friend Maria’s house to have her fourth grader, Goldie, try it out. Maria was looking forward to previewing the dancing and singing Wii game, since she was thinking about buying it as a Christmas present for her daughters.
Strut your stuff and sing your heart out
In Boogie Superstar, you compete in the Boogie Star Show to become the next boogie superstar. First you pick your character, which you can customize to look a bit like yourself if you want. Goldie was able to change her character’s name to her own, which she loved.
In Boogie Superstar you can dance, sing or do both. The song list features nearly 40 popular tracks in the pop, urban, and electrodance genres. Goldie isn’t allowed to listen to rap, so she mostly played pop songs that she knew like “Girlfriend” by Avril Lavigne (one of Goldie’s favorites) and “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis.
There’s also a drama feature, the character of Vickie. You can turn her devilment on or off. She likes to say rude but G-rated things about your performance and cover up the lyrics when you’re singing. It was cracking us up!
I fix staplers that won’t staple and zippers that won’t zip, and I poke pins in the orange caps of glue bottles that will not pour. I hand out papers and pencils and stickers and envelopes for newly pulled teeth. I know the difference between Austria and Australia.
I plan lessons while shaving, showering, driving, eating, and sleeping. I plan lessons five minutes before the bell rings. I know what time it is when the big hand is on the twelve and the little hand is on the nine. I say the r in library. I do not say the w in sword.
I put on Band-Aids and winter coats and school plays. I know they will not understand the difference between your and you’re. I know they will write to when it should be too. I say “Cover your mouth,” after they have coughed on me.
You know I’m giving away 12 cartons of Blue Bunny ice cream right? Well, as a reminder I thought I’d share some terrific holiday recipes from Blue Bunny ice cream.
So many choices! We have the two pack, which is a bargain since it’s a only little more (or possibly less) than the single version depending on where you buy it. I do love the pre-wrapped version for easy holiday giving, too. (I love shopping, but HATE wrapping.) This year Paramount Home Entertainment is pre-wrapping three of their biggest titles - Iron Man, Kung Fu Panda, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The pre-wrapped DVDs will be on shelves at most retailers by November 30 or December 7.
But what to eat while you’re watching Po and the Furious Five defeat Tai Lung? Well, last summer while the movie was still in theaters, I suggested dim sum. But instead, stay home and make some hot ramen noodle soup!
November is National Diabetes Awareness Month. To get the word out Blue Bunny ice cream has created a section on their website devoted to diabetes awareness with links to diabetes websites, diabetes recipe sites, and a few diabetes blogs. It also features diabetic recipes using Blue Bunny’s Lighter Options products, and a link to download a coupon for a dollar off a Blue Bunny No Sugar Added frozen treat.
Sound yummy? Then maybe you should enter my contest to win a Blue Bunny coupon book with 12 coupons in it, each redeemable for a carton of ice cream!! (That’s almost $70 worth of ice cream, folks!)
