Movie....Thursday? Scott Pilgrim

Sorry about not posting on Monday, we had our Volunteer Appreciate Lunch and I also had to return the indoor planetarium to the Lunar and Planetary Institute, after that the day just seemed to fly by!

Anyway, I'm really excited about this movie coming out on August 13. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is directed by one of my favorite directors, Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Spaced) and stars the usually hilarious Michael Cera.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is based on a series of graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley about a 25 year old slacker named Scott Pilgrim and his exploits/adventures with his band, his roommate, the new girl he's seeing and her 7 Evil Exes that he must battle in order to date her.

These are young adult books that lean a little more into the 'adult' of young adult, and the movie is rated PG-13. I know that's fine for most of my readers, but I wanted to put a little disclaimer here just in case, if you're not old enough or don't have permission from parents wait a few years until you are old enough/have permission. It's totally worth the wait.

Anyway, here's a link to Bryan Lee O'Malley's site: http://www.scottpilgrim.com/

Here's the cover of the first Scott Pilgrim book:

Zaki Con 2019: Cosplay Contest!

The final event  of Zaki Con is our cosplay contest. I assume you're familiar with cosplay if you're reading, but just in case you aren't: cosplay is " the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime." And anyone can do it! Young and old alike are adorable when dressing as their favorite characters from books, movies, and anime! At Zaki Con, we want to see your interpretation of cosplay! You can enter as one person or as a group (though groups will have to share prizes if they win). All you have to do is come dressed as your favorite character. Since Zaki Con is a family event and it is held in the public library, all costumes must be appropriate for our setting and audience! Entries will be judged by a panel of judges from the library and the community. We look forward to seeing your cosplays during the Con and at the contest which will be held at 5:00pm on Saturda

Duct Tape Pencil Bag

 1. Gather supplies.  2. Unwrap one length of duct tape and carefully set plastic bag on top. Go slowly so there are no air bubbles in the duct tape! 3. Unwrap other color of duct tape and tape the opposite side of the bag. 4. Trim extra duct tape off. 5. Continue adding duct tape (You can do all one color on each side or alternate like I did. Trim sides so everything is even.  6. Optional, if you want to store your pencil bag in your binder, mark where the rings are located. 6. Use a hole punch to make holes. 7. Decorate with stickers or permanent markers!
