One whole year!

This blog has been has been around for a whole year, I feel like a proud mother. So many good times. Remember that month when I updated more than twice, good times good times. To celebrate lets play a fun game! It's called...

Romulan or Australian Politician!!!!


It's easy, simple guess which of the following are Romulans, the bad dudes from beyond the neutral zone, and which are Australian politicians, the bad dudes from Australia.

Number 1

Number 2

Number 3

Number 4

Do, do, do, do (I don't know how to write game show music but that was my attempt)

Times up.

Did you guess number 4? If so then you are correct!!!!
If not then too bad.

Number 1: Don't let the haircut fool you she is human under there, it's Senator the Hon Penny Wong, Minister for Climate Change and Water

Number 2: This is a tricky one as she is actully half Human and half Betazoid, but not Romulan. The picture is from an episode were she had to get surgically altered to look like a Romulan.

Number 3: Perhaps the hardest one to pick, but it is form Prime Minister John Howard. I know, I know, the scowl and eyebrows, but the Romulans are not evil enough to produce anythign as vile as WorkChoices.

Number 4: Is Romulan!

Well wasn't that fun.


Satire or spitefulness, you decide

Coraline

I went to see some Coraline movie in 3D at a place far away because all the movies here are too old to be able to play 3D movies. You get to wear silly glasses and get a headache, it's great. Like being drunk without the benefit of feeling like the most witty person alive. While there I found everyone's favorite decapodian in bobble-head form.



I don't really know why I have to buy stuff this. It must be some kind of deep-seeded emotional and psychological problem that manifests itself through the purchase of plastic crap based on cartoons and star wars. Plus the packet looks pretty cool, retro-futurism type stuff. The sides of the box tell us that it is "Amazingly life-like for a chunk of plastic" and that "the brain slug who controls you says to collect them all". Which of course doesn't make sense as the brainslugs in the show never actually talked to the person they controlled.



"We favor unusually large subsidies to the brain slug planet" The others seem to be Leela, Fry and Bender. At the places I looked there was no bender and the other two did not look so good. Hence the buying of only Zoidberg.


Can you even read the back? Maybe if your eyes are better than mine. It's not very funny so I wouldn't bother. Here he is out of his shell, but still in his shell (ha!).


He looks kind of cross eyed and wonky so I'm going to keep him in his box. What I really like about him is that he reminds me of my favourite Futurama episode "The Farnsworth Parabox" which includes, amongst other things a breif foray into a parrel world populated by bobble-headed poeple.

Squirrelcat lives!

I found a new species of animal that I have named the Squirrelcat (squirrelus catyus). The Squirrelcat is about the size of a squirrel and has a light grey colouration sometimes accompanied by a mottled pattern. It has the head of a kitty and a bushy ail like squirrels do in cartoons. I haven’t seen a real squirrel this week so I don’t know how realistic they are. Running along both sides are skin flaps which squirrelcats use to glide and generally make themselves hard to catch. If one is managed to be caught they often omit a purring sound, not unlike a regular cat or Simba from The Lion King. If you wish to catch a glimpse of a squirrelcat then you must only attend the dream I had a few days ago.

I went back to school shopping.

I was planning to put pictures and stuff up here from my recent back to school shopping, as school goes back in 2 days, but as I only bought some blue pens and a note book I think it is below the admittedly not very high 'interest threshold' that is in place for this site. My pencil case is broke so stuff falls out of it which is not that good for a thing which should hold things but all the ones for sale at the store I went to were crap. Whenever I get an exciting one with batman or spiderman or something they always break cause they are cheap and dodgy and the only plain ones were blue (do I look like a boy?), pink (do I look like a girl?) and purple (do I look like a girly boy?). I think not.

PC Gaming

I've just started my uni holidays and thought I'd give an oldish game another spin. I put the disc in over an hour ago and it is still installing/patching. I guess when it final runs something else wont work, so I'll have to fix that too.

I am reminded why I bought an xbox.

I invented something..

 

It’s a device for allowing me to sit around and watch cartoons all then time. Sometime there could be non cartoons, but not that often. It can also detect what kind of mood I am in so as to provide the exact thing I am after without me even thinking about it. Then I could just sit around and do nothing and that would be great.

I discovered this thing http://www.abc.net.au/iview/# the other day (click that it is a link). It has shows from the government or something and there is some good ones and lots of bad ones. My idea is basically they get rid of all the bad ones and replace them with good ones.

 

I’m so freaking smart.

The words ‘best biscuits ever’ are thrown around allot these days…

 

But I feel entirely justified in saying that I made the best biscuits ever. (I made six typos already, poor efort) I also feel entirely justified in saying it was me and me alone who made these biscuits possible. Two whole trays full.

 

As the pictures illustrate, they are the best biscuits ever.

 

They were easy to make too, ever for a regular person who isn’t as great as me. Just lollies, icing sugar, water and milk arrowroot biscuits. I know what a milk is but arrowroot? Some kind of a root I guess. One known for it’s arrow-like qualities. If I were to make a history of the arrowroot it would go something like this:

 

A long time ago, when the might tyrannosaurus rex  stomped around smashing junk, a cave man named Thesel found some root in the ground and decided it would go well with the bow he had invented that morning. Thesel fired his bow and the arrowroot hit the trex. As roots are no good weapons, the blow only annoyed the trex who preceded to fire his laser beams at Thesel. The laserbeams cooked Thesel and also there was a cow there who made some milk and then a biscuit was made somehow. The trex, being not so creative in the naming department, called the new biscuit the ‘milk arrowroot’ biscuit due to is milk and arrowroot nature. And so the story of the arrowroot is told, and you know that it is true as it was written by me.
