The Great Dippin' Dots Disaster

Hellohello(: Today I tried something new- making Dippin' Dots. I got a Dippin' Dots maker last Christmas, and just now tried it.

I opened it and it was a MESS. All the pieces were falling apart, and the place where you put the Dippin' Dot mix kept leaking EVERYWHERE. On the box it says that you can use it with different flavored mixes, which has you automatically assuming that you get the chocolate and vanilla mixes in the box.
You don't.
Instead, you have to mix 8oz. of water with a tiny bit of your favorite soda and pour it into the mold (which is extremely hard, by the way) then freeze it for 2-3 hours. I tried that with Dr. Pepper, then got it in the mold before the whole machine fell apart. Right now, the mold is in the freezer, and I can predict that the Dippin' Dots are going to taste like watery soda. Here is the end result of the machine-

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! *cough cough*

Here's just a random little picture I saw on Mandy's blog yesterday, I think it's cool and I'm totally a right side.

Blog-Freeeeeeeee

Hello!(: As you might've noticed, I've kinda slacked on blogging lately. I've realized that having a certain blog for every single day just takes the fun out of blogging, so I've decided to throw that idea out. Now I'm going to blog what I want to blog, when I want to. Which brings up to today's blog, which is a CD review.
Greyson Chance's very first CD came out on August 2nd, (a month ago) and I know that some people have been wanting to know my opinion on the CD, being a really big fan of his and such. I've been listening to his CD on repeat the entire day, and I do have some thoughts on the songs.

Unfriend You: I give it an 8/10. It'd probably be a nine, but I've over-listened to the song and it gets stuck in my head like crazy now. I like the music video (especially when they TP her house in the end).

Waiting Outside the Lines: Since this is one of his earlier songs, he sounds younger, so it gets a 6.8/10. I like the idea of the song, and the piano playing in it is really good.

Summertrain: DEFINITELY a 10/10. This is my favorite song on the album, and one of my favorite songs in general. The beat is good, the lyrics are good, the vocals are good, EVERYTHING. is good. I love the interlude when you can hear it start raining, and the third chorus is amazing.

Heart Like Stone: This is one of his songs where you REALLY have to be a fan of his, or else the song sucks. I personally love the song (9/10) and think he really outdid himself with the vocals. I myself play piano and would really love to learn to play along with it.

Hold on 'Til the Night: I give it an 8/10. There's not much to say about the song really. It's a good song, and for some reason it makes me think of the 90's. Weird, no?

Home is in Your Eyes: Ehh, it's an okay song. Nothing really stands out about it, so it's a 7/10.

Cheyenne: To be honest, I really love this song and I hate that it's so short. The piano in the interlude just proves his musical talents even more. The only bad thing about it is that at the very end he sounds a bit whiny, like he's begging or something. 9/10

Take a Look at me Now: Good song, especially to work out to(: I give it an 8.5/10. The lyrics kinda explain his claim to fame, and it's really inspirational. The bad thing about the song is that for some reason, it's way louder than the other songs, so be sure to turn your volume down before it comes on or it'll blast your eardrums and scare the crap outta you, believe me.

Stranded: Truthfully, this isn't one of my favorite songs of his. It gets a 7/10 because.. I guess I'm just not really a fan of the song and lyrics.

Little London Girl: This is the worst song he's ever done. 5/10. I think it makes him sound really young. I've owned the CD for a month and haven't even finished listening to it all the way through. I feel like I'm wasting my time listening to this song.

All in all, it's a really good CD, and definitely worth the price. I highly recommend it.
