The day before Monday

After countless button pressing on the remote, I finally discovered the inconspicuous number combination for ABC2. It was 21. Stupid ABC2 site telling me it was 22. (I take that back if it's just our TV wanting to be 'unique' by having different button sequences to the rest of the TV crowd.)

Thankyou ABC2, now every weekend at 10am I can follow the stories of BABAR

I'm looking at my desk and I really think I'm in need of 'Henry the Desktop Vacuum'.

Meet Henry everyone.

By the way, Babar originated in France,

Let's Go To The Mall

Let's go to the mall, everybody!

Come on Jessica, come on Tori,
Let's go to the mall, you won't be sorry
Put on your jelly bracelets
And your cool graffiti coat
At the mall, having fun is what it's all about

I've just changed my language setting to Français...I feel a little inclined to blog in French now.

So you know how I like hexagons?

Looky here:  I found this a while ago and it has been sitting in my 'AOHB' folder since then.
(Oui...I have an AOHB folder in My Documents)

What it looks like to change your font in French.

I've just counted the sides...I guess it's a heptagon.
Woopsies.

Crook of the arm

Today I was just flicking through the weekend paper liftouts and I stumbled across a 'lexical item' (or 'word' to put it into laymen's terms.)


You know that inner part of your elbow (when your palm is looking up at the sky).
The 'crook of the arm' is it's name.


Feeling rather accomplished, I am.


Also a tad productive, creative decorative on the side.
A.O.H.B proudly presents...

Sunny Day

Mood: Happy :)

Sunny Day

Sweepin' the clouds away

On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,

How to get to Sesame Street

Come and play

Everything's A-OK

Friendly neighbors there

That's where we meet

Can you tell me how to get

How to get to Sesame Street

It's a magic carpet ride

Every door will open wide

To Happy people like you--

Happy people like

What a beautiful

Sunny Day

Sweepin' the clouds away

On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,

How to get to Sesame street...

How to get to Sesame Street

How to get to...

One Silly Billy

Captured my first set of Yr 12 moments with the SUPERHEADZ...but...

I couldn't wind the 'windy thing' (the wind that rhymes with find) and I started thinking uh oh.....
Being in the not-so-sharp state today, I opened the back...a few seconds later....

"Uhhhh....are you sure you're supposed to do that? Your films just been exposed..."

"*CUSS!"

The stupidity didn't end there.
Turns out the windy thing was ALREADY winded....not stuck.


Well...you learn something new everyday.

P.S 'Cuss' is my newly adopted alternative 'expletive' from watching Fantastic Mr Fox.

Not that I ever really used that particular 'rhyming-with-duck' word anyway. Quack quack.

NEVER ODD OR EVEN

*They call these palindromes.


I don't know about you but to me the word palindrome doesn't really sound like what it means - it makes me think of grandfather clocks for some reason. 
Maaaaybe it's because of 'pendulum'. 
Pendulum. Palindrome. Pendulum. Palindrome.
