One Awesome Trailer





I went searching or Persepolis' movie adaptation, watched it for a bit, and find it very enjoyable :)
Here's a trailer to it, for those of you interested in watching it. I love the comic book version more though...

Firefighter Facts for KIDS!




Vanellope Von Schweetz: Hey Michelle! Have you read page 15 from Persepolis?

Michelle: Offcourse! What about it?

Vanellope Von Schweetz: Great! I think I have a question about it...

Michelle: Okay, shoot!

Vanellope Von schweetz: You know what, I dont think I'm going to ask you that, it's a stupid question. Nevermind...

Michelle: Oh come on Vanellope, you know better that I'm going to be okay with it... You're a 10 year old kid, it's okay to ask funny questions...

Vanellope Von Schweetz: Fine, promise you wont laugh... What kind of people are firemen?

Michelle: *Stiffles a giggle* well... I guess that they are people who puts out fire when there is one?

Vanellope Von Schweetz: Oh come on Michelle, you can do better than that

Michelle: As far as I know, they drive cool red trucks, which could carry 1000 pounds of water. They also wear fire-resistant heavy gears, which could total up to 75 pounds. And most importantly, they are very courageous, kind hearted people who always tries their best to safe victims who are trapped in fire.

Vanellope Von Schweetz: Are you sure about that?

Michelle: Offcourse! They act by seconds upon calls, and really placed their lifes on the line on missions. I just googled this, *show Vanellope her phone* statistically 64 firemen died last year in their missions.

Vanellope Von Schweetz: ... I think that something is definitely wrong with this book...

Michelle: Let me have a look at it

Vanellope Von Schweetz: Look, *show page 15* how come in this book it says that the firemen did not arrive until 40 minutes later? That is an awfully long time, that all 400 victims died. They were not doing a very good job then. Oh I know! Maybe they overslept when someone called for an emergency!

Michelle: ... I'm pretty sure that's not the case...
