LINKING LESSON

Tait has taught me to link!!!

WOOOOHOOOOOO
My tech savvyless days are coming to an end . . .

Let the linking begin!!!!

Lesson # 2: re-doing layout so blog name is up the TOP of the page.

SCARY MAN

When I was walking (power – no I don’t use weights) on the weekend I noticed the tradish ‘people crossing’ sign . . . and wondered why the Australian government – in it’s rampage to be PC - hadn’t changed it so it didn’t look like a paedophile was kidnapping a young girl. Forgive me – a little weird I know but I was walking alone –mentally practicing my karate moves.

(The above pic isn’t the one that I saw (mine was yellow and the peeps were walking/being dragged) but this one is even scarier. Eeeeeek.)

A Little David & Pheobe in Fran

I was a little inspired by What if when I was having a tangle tantrum the other day.
p.s Hope you guys haven’t thought of this already (how embarrassing)



I just realised that you can't read my writing! hehe
It says 'All i-pods should have a little see through section on the back where the ear phones can plug in and get sucked in like a vacuum cleaner cord when not in use.'

T-BAR

I’ve been meaning to post about these guys for a while.

T-bar is an awesome concept developed a by two RMIT students.
This glass ‘bar’ is a freestanding shop in Melbourne Central purely dedicated to T’s.
They employ a heap pf graphic designers and only print 50 of each design. Every time I cruise past on my way to uni – I notice a funky new print. They have all the prices on the window and you can see most of the designs from the outside (handy since the shop is tres petit).

This one particularly caught my eye (especially after Stan was talking about the re-branding of ‘I love NY’).

I saw a guy wearing it the other week. I like.

BACK TO UNI

Ah yes
Tis the time of year when I have to force my brain out of hibernation and drag it back into the sunshine of UNI!
Yey
Uni has been fab
However I did have a 'black Monday' at the beginning of this week.
3 bad things happened
1. I spilt tea on my keyboard
2. I dropped my phone 3 times in a row and broke the speaker (I can hear you, you just can't hear me)
3. I didn't get the internship (I was short listed for an internship at RMIT - congrats to Chris, may you have a happy future at OBM and sell many disposable sunglasses)
Actually maybe it was four things
4. I weighed myself (this is what happens when dresses are fashionable - you don't know that your jeans don't fit!)

But it's all ok because my mum bought me a giant pot of honey (1.5kg to be precise)!
It’s the best pot of honey in the world.

FAKE GUCCI FOR FREE

This man created a fake Gucci ad with his own photo,
got a Swiss newspaper to run it and had the $50,000 bill sent
to Gucci. ROCK IT.

Singstar

On Friday night I babysat. I don’t normally do much babysitting but these guys are my favourite family and they’ve just come back from the US. The girls are like me (loud, attention seeking . . .) so we get along fine.

Apart from teaching the 7 yr old the art of sarcasm we engaged in a game of Singstar. For those of you who don’t know this is a form of Karaoke (as a playstation game) – except they score you on how well you hit the notes. Being tone deaf didn’t help but I found myself really getting into it. In the end we were doing dance routines accompanied by the 7 yr old on the French horn - which we then listened to on the playback.

This was my first encounter with such an interactive game – having always avoided they trashy tragedies – I am now a fan. However I find myself wondering how much something like this must be worth for the artists that have their tracks on the game. GOLDMINE I suggest. Whatever the agreement is the peeps that are gracing the game are onto a good thing.

Serious commercial infiltration going on here.

Given I had so much fun I can’t figure out if it’s a good thing or a bad thing for young girls to be imitating pop stars. All I can say is that no wonder there are so many ten yr olds walking around wiggling their booty in mini skirts!!
