sweet-dreams Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Good news. What did you need to print? My science prac report on ticker timers. *wonders what teo torriatte means* My auntie and uncle are flying in tomorrow, and my dad and Margaret are flying out on Tuesday. And Margaret came back from Melbourne yesterday. Everyone always hates on my auntie and uncle but I really don't mind them at all. I think I will go to pick them up tomorrow. Airports are fun I don't mind airports either. It's the name of a Queen song (surprise, surprise) that had the chorus sung in Japanese some of the time. It translates to 'let us cling together'. It was written by the guitarist Brian May (genius) about the band's connection with Japan. Here's the chorus in Japanese: Teo toriatte konomama iko Aisuruhito yo Shizuka nayo ini Hikario tomoshi Itoshiki oshieo idaki This means: Let Us Cling Together As The Years Go By Oh My Love, My Love In The Quiet Of The Night Let Our Candles Always Burn Let Us Never Lose The Lessons We Have Learned Here is a youtube link to that song: (The song doesn't actually start until about 1:10 and there are probably better quality versions on there. But I just love the footage with this one!) How's that for an extensive answer? I'm seriously desperate to knwo what these orange disc things are called now. I must be googling the wrong things I don't even think they are actually chocolate Also, I need to know how to spell disc. Is it disc or disk? When is it disc? When is it disk? Well, I have no idea what you're talking about. And I think it can be either. I'm not sure though. I think disc looks nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I managed to get somewhere between 2.5 -3 hours sleep, which is alright considering I don't allow myself more than 4 and a half after these over nighter shifts so that I'll actually sleep tonight New blog by me (just random rambling ) I got three hours - my eyes are almost down to my knees now!! I think I got more sleep when I had my children!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico_collard Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Oh and Teegs.. in response to the cake question. Guitar cake... Ft photoshoot of course Righto... guitar cake it is! What colour should I do it? All it requires is lots of icing I was talking the skill to make it look like a brain... I don't haz it... No problems whatsoever....Maybe I'd have some skill as a checkout chick You don't need skills for that... *zhhz* Defriend?? What sort of a word is that? You mean "enemise" that reminds me of enema... *squirms* Turquoise... At least you don't have any leopard print ones.. Or do you?? I own a turquoise one... and a lime green one... and a red one with butterflies... and a purple one with patterns... I would like to take a moment to congratulate the Australian ability to have all plans completely unfurl. Between me falling down the stairs and Kelz overworking her muscles today never stood chance. I'm OK, just a sprained ankle, but I suspect I won't be after Bec murders me. You bloody spaz! Was it a spectacular fall??? With matching grave stones 'I came, I saw, I was killed by a Moe-Franga hybrid'. Teegs: P's b'day is this Sunday the 19th ... & he is cooking the dinner on Sat. night... but not pot rice ! He's making a chicken & bacon,spinach,mushroom & leek pie thingy ft. bechamel sauce .... & salad ! Dinner will be for 10 & then on Sun. it's 'bring a plate' ft. maybe 30 ppl (??) , well ... alot more anyway ... Mmmmmmmm... sounds delish! And... Happy B'day to P!!! TEEGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm currently recording the extended remix of Desire that VH1 plays sporadically.. (Damn I love VH1)Anyway, whilst recording I thought "I bet youtube has this already" and they do: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=3MPr7T55iI4 Want the mp3? HELL YEAH!!! *clears throat* Erm... yes, I would like that very much... Actually, when I read that message, Desire was playing on my MP3 player... Its for my education subject and is on the problem of uneven diffusion of responsibility preventing cooperative learning in groupwork (or simply.. the problem of people doing all the work while others do none in group work ) Oooooooh... interesting topic... do you have to come up with ways to ensure people contribute equally? If so, I'd suggest the jigsaw method (casue that's the only one I can remember!)... Two of today's pictures Awwwwwww! Does anyone know when it will be released in Australia? I'm looking forward to watching the 40 minute long documentary and playing 'The Mika Whining Drinking Game'. Oh yeah! We are soooo playing that game together! Hey... Reading Midnight Sun... Noice.. I'e only read the first 6 chapters... Zoe hasn't iven me the next 6.. and I'm too lazy to go to Stephenie's site... I've resisted the Twilight craze....I'll only read it once it becomes uncool to do so, like I did with Harry Potter. Good idea.. I like it muchly but I'm not obsessed with it. *cough* There are too many things that bug me about it for me to like it any more than I do. The teen fan fic-ness seems to irritate me at parts... and I really don't think tens are that sarcastic... Twilight is addictive as hell but the quality of the writing could just be so many times better...hence why I can't read them too often. I just find myself pedantically pointing out things like, 'She already used that word in the last sentence, why is she using it again?' And I don't absorb any of the actual story and just end up getting frustrated so I have to stop reading. I agree with the bold bit.. Forget Twilight and pick up Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Now THAT's what I call literature. That's because it's written like fan fiction. I can see why it has such a mass appeal but I simply can't enjoy it. That's what irritates me about it a bit... it is a little too fan fic like or me... but I still read it... And it does smell awful. That you say it tastes alright worries me as well... it doesn't taste alright that stuff is nasty! Man - it's quiet here on a Saturday morning I was wandering around in a leopard skin and kilt at that stage... I can never stick to diets, so I don't start them but I have cut back my take out food intake, in particular maccas food ... and do try to eat healthier That's my thinking too... but I try to cut back on coke and choccies... Hey y'all. Good news. Mother Melzy and I are discussing first home buyers stuff. For me. Own my own house. One condition. Mother Melzy wants to live with me for a while. So I'm looking for some nice houses online.. with a granny flat.. or a SLUG that I can convert to a bedroom. And I was thinking of going rural. Something on an acre so I can have some animals.. A horse or two. I'm considering Daylesford .. Hippieville. Ooooooh! Funness! Hope you find ssomething you like! And yay for melzy owning own house... How far is Daylesford from Melbourne I was wondering about that myself.. but how far is Daylesford from NSW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelzy Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 And maybe room for a llama? Of course. I was thinking that when I went to bed Hammersmith Feb 08 . Yes was in MFC but was very late getting to show so never got to meet up with anyone. So I have still never actually met another MFCer. Saving yourself for us Sucky about the weight, yay for some clothes fitting you. I wish I could sew... but sewing machines hate me. Actually, come to think of it, most machines hate me. And yay for melzy owning own house... How far is Daylesford from Melbourne Yay indeed. Hmmm.. It's about 90 minutes by car. There's no train station though, so I'd have to drive to Ballan and catch the train from there.. In which case I might as well just drive all the way to CBD. I do find the act of doing cross stitching relaxing, but I have problems with finishing what I start. I knit. And it's always a scarf.. and it's never completed. Too much to MQ *Was aware of OkD's absence* *is happy about new DVD* *will only be purchasing 1 copy* *shuns contagious OMPS-trend* *huggles Artsy ft. spooning* *Is impressed by Sarah's extensive answering skillz* *gets distracted mid-reply* *stokes fire* *lights incense* *waves to Wendy * *opens Becsters bolg page and plans to catch up* *wonders if anyone else has been blogging* *agrees with Wendy about 'disk' being old-skool* *wonders what the orange disks are??* *wants lollies dipped in white chocolate* *Also wonders where various Mikamites have been lately* Ayyyyyy.. that'll do.

soangel Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 *calculates how many more orange disc things she can eat before it becomes really obvious that she has been eating them* And just how many was that I got three hours - my eyes are almost down to my knees now!!I think I got more sleep when I had my children!!! *passes over ear plugs* I'm glad I sleep like a log. The kittens only wake me if one starts crying loudly, normally if its behind the mums back. Though work sucks, I either have to wake up early saturday morning for 7.30 shift, or not sleep saturday night and get a few hours in the morning Righto... guitar cake it is! What colour should I do it? Electric blue or lime green You don't need skills for that... *zhhz* don't need skills to work at maccas either Oooooooh... interesting topic... do you have to come up with ways to ensure people contribute equally? If so, I'd suggest the jigsaw method (casue that's the only one I can remember!)... Yeah, we have to discuss a problem, some solutions and implications for teaching. I was tempted to do jigsaw, but I had more references for assigning roles (eg encourager, recorder etc), so I wrote about that instead, as well as how teachers would have to take a more back seat, supportive role as opposed to the expert role they normally adopt when teaching the class as a whole That's my thinking too... but I try to cut back on coke and choccies... : Soft drink is something I'm trying to cut back. I drink water at uni now instead, and eat healthier there most days Yay indeed. Hmmm.. It's about 90 minutes by car. There's no train station though, so I'd have to drive to Ballan and catch the train from there.. In which case I might as well just drive all the way to CBD. I knit.

I'm not sure though. I think disc looks nicer. I think a disc is circular/semi circular in shape.I disk was what those floppys were before we got CD's!!

nico_collard Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Electric blue or lime green Noice! I really wanted to do a guitar a la Edge in Discotheque, but the shiny bits aren't edible... I might go with electric blue... don't need skills to work at maccas either Funny how it works that way! Yeah, we have to discuss a problem, some solutions and implications for teaching. I was tempted to do jigsaw, but I had more references for assigning roles (eg encourager, recorder etc), so I wrote about that instead, as well as how teachers would have to take a more back seat, supportive role as opposed to the expert role they normally adopt when teaching the class as a whole So, teachers as facilitators then? Nice work... they really shoved that group work crap down my throat when I was in uni... it's great in a perfect world, but it takes a lot to train the little cherubs before you get any real benefit from group work. That reminded me.. I did an action research assignment on peer teaching in third year... I failed it and had to redo part of the subject... funny how if you make something up completely, you can pass it, but if you really do what you said in the assignment, you fail... Oh, and i meant to mention... Jenny went back to the farm tofay... she was a bit confused, and she didn't really want much to do with the others.. Poor bugger...

sweet-dreams Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Quite a good one So how does the band have a connection with Japan? *goes to take a picture because she has exhausted her possible explanations* Well.. Japan was the first country that really embraced their music. In the early 70s they were failing to get properly recognised in England and America, etc. Then they flew over for their first Japanese tour and there were hundreds of people waiting to greet them at the airport. And while they were there they were completely idolised and treated like royalty (haha). I love those things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
