     I just read Frankenstein Takes The Cake, I absolutely LOVED IT! I have had Frankenstein Makes A Sandwich for so long I don't even remember when I got it. Oh, wait, I probably should start with a little explaining.
     Adam Rex makes monster poem books. Yes, thats right. Funny poems about monsters. He has made two short picture books with no fixed story, just zombies, yetis, Bigfoot, Godzilla, vampires, Frankenstein, ghosts, etc.. Some of the poems' themes repeat, or have the same characters.
     The first book is about food, a lot of food, including a monster cafeteria that serves lady finger, eyeball soup, and beans and frank. Some other poems are: The Middlewitch Witch-watchers Club, a club which watches witches, and Yeti doesn't appreciate being called Bigfoot. Here, have an excerpt:

THE YETI DOSEEN'T APRECIATE BEING CALLED BIGFOOT
Did you just say BIGFOOT? Whats wrong with your eyes?? My feet aren't REMOTELY as big as that guy's! (nor are they smelly) you see heres the truth: some folk call him Sasquatch, his real name is Ruth. So why is Bigfoot the name people mention? The SMELL not the size is what gets their attention. His nose is big too, but does anyone care? Perhaps if it smelled they would be more aware.
Well of course his nose smells, but you get what I meant. You can tell he's no yeti my way of his SCENT.

Nice right?
     The second book is just as good as the first. The second one is about what monsters would do on the internet, you know, Frankenblogging, E.T-Mail, normal stuff, and weddings, and more food including: tofillager, the meatless tofu villager. There is a blog called Off The Top Of My Head: the official blog of the headless horseman. It's really funny.  

     Adam Rex even does cool things with credits. In the first book he makes the credits formatted in a snow angel, and at the bottom it says THE INVISIBLE MAN MAKES A SNOW ANGEL. In the second book Edgar Allan Poe's raven is on the back of the book saying "Show's inside folks! Nothin' back here but the barcode!"

    I really recommend the Frankenstein books to all those who love funny stuff, and food, and monsters. My only criticism is - I wish the books were longer.

Another awesome thing is that while rummaging through random internet stuff I found that Adam Rex makes illustrations for Magic cards. (I will explain what that is soon enough.)

October 21st, 2015. That's today, and it's not at all like Back To The Future
So, today I will be making a list of things BTTF (Back to the future) had that we don't, and what we have and they don't. For starters flying cars that run on trash. -1. And hover boards. -2. We don't have that multi-chanal like super flatscreen thing. Oh, wait that was a projector on the wall? Oh, never mind. We don't have that super-pepsi-dispenser thingie that shoots pepsi cans. SODA BAZOOKA!-3.
We don't get YOU'RE FIRED letters printed directly by OUR printers through our boss's computer. -4. What we DO have though is internet, robots, touch screen, google glass, HEAD TRANSPLANTS, roller coaster simulators, and also Doctor Who. +7. RESULTS:

DO HAVE                          DON'T HAVE
Internet                                    Flying cars
robots                                      Trash motors
touch screen                             Hover Boards
google glass                             WLDYFL (wireless long distance you're fired letters)
head transplants                        TIME TRAVEL
roller coaster sims                   
Doctor Who

So yeah, we do have some pretty cool futuristic stuff, but not that wonderful can gun :'(
People always think the future will be way better that what is happening now, but will it?
People now are dreaming of holograms, flying cars and motorcycles and hover boards, people are dreaming of 4D movies, space travel, time travel, teleportation, and so much more! But, what will actually come to be? Will the future be as wonderful as we think? Will something just destroy civilization? Will we settle other world and meet alien creatures? What do YOU think?

Let me know in the comments :-D

                                
CIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXDI========================>
                                

NEXT TIME:

NOTE:
I was just notified that the WLDYFL is called a FAX,
i don't know what that is, but I like calling it WLDYFL.

Five Nights At Freddy’s
My favorite horror game, Five Nights At Freddy’s (FNAF) consists of sitting on your butt and doing nothing, seriously. The goal of the video game is to survive as a restaurant night time security guard from midnight until 6 AM,while evil robot animals try to reach you through an unrealistically complex network of rooms, halls, and ventilation ducts. You keep them (meaning the robots) away by checking cameras and closing electronically controlled doors around the complex. See? THAT’S the restaurant you’re dealing with. 
There are four different chapters of FNAF. The first on takes place in 1987, the 2nd one in 1992, the 3rd one in 2023, and the fourth one in 1983  You have to survive 6 nights in the first game, 7 in the 2nd game, as well as the 3rd one and 8 in the newest one.
FNAF has made it’s way on to the top 3 scariest games of the year 4 times (depending on who you ask) but for me, it is definitely worthy of that title, (I also like Slender Man). There is even a whole group of gamers dubbed The FNAF Community. They post backstory, make videos, and name unnamed characters such as Carl the Cupcake.
The storyline of FNAF is totally gruesome and probably shouldn’t be ‘a thing’, but it is, and I will not say much more than this: dead children, insane souls, and also killer robots. So look it up if you want to know more.
I personally love this game and am going to buy the fourth one today. And I send thanks to my dear friend Matt for giving me inspiration and reminding me that the game was out.

THANKS MATT!

The fourth game (which was released in January) is going to be updated , and Scott Cawthon (the maker of FNAF) will share new levels on October 31st, yes, on Halloween. The FNAF community is extremely exited and so am I. (I hope I can finish all 8 nights before the update :-P).
Some of the final characters are liked much more than others, especially Foxy The Pirate Fox is the #1 most loved character in the whole series with Mangle The Cow being the 2nd most loved. 

So yeah, FNAF is one of, if not my favorite horror games. I am now kind of sad that it will end.
Scott often hides things in his teaser images here are a few:
