A show called “Walk On The Wild Side” where they do voiceovers on animals. (thanks to Yazmin for showing me)
“The Green Screen Show”
Another improv show by Drew Carey where the performers act out in front of a green screen, and after the show animators get busy drawing in over the green screen. The audience must be really bored looking at that green screen during the show.
These two are Sound Effect games. Two members of the audience are chosen to perform sound effects for the two actors. Pretty much “Whose Line Is It Anyway” but with animations.
And a clever one using action figures as the bodies
Originally I was going to use the TV to watch TV, but it didn’t work, hence why it was outside someone’s house.
This is how to make a TV Fish Tank.
1. Get a TV (preferably an old one, in a wooden cabinet)
2. Find a fish tank that will fit inside the TV (fortunately, the one I found was perfect!)
3. Remove the back of the TV.
4. Spend many many hours unscrewing and removing the circuitry inside the TV.
5. The hardest part is removing the CRT/Screen. Most TVs don’t have a glass screen in front of the CRT, so once you remove the vacuum tube there won’t be a screen there, but that’s ok as the fish tank will now become the screen.
6. These tubes were built to stay in the surrounding cabinet. This took me AGES to get out. On each corner of the cabinet the screen is held in with 6 screws, a glued bolt, and glued wood.
Unless you have a fancy bendy screwdriver, you won’t be able to get to most of the screws. You can get to some of them from the front of the TV if you remove the plastic surrounding the screen. As for the rest of the screws, you basically have to remove the wood from the screws. Using a chisel/screwdriver and hammer will do fine. Just do it outside or you’ll get a mess.
7. Remove any bits of wood left in the TV that aren’t holding the cabinet together. They’ll just get in the way of the tank.
8. Depending on how wide your fish tank is, you might not be able to put the back of the TV back on. This is fine, as it allows air into the tank, and gives you room to feed the fish. You won’t be able to see the tank protrude anyway. If your tank does fit all the way in, you may need to make the top of the cabinet removable.
9. Put all the buttons and things back onto the TV to make it look real.
10. Set up your fish tank. (Make sure your fish tank doesn’t leak. Mine did, so I used some blutac and PVA glue.) Make sure your TV Fish Tank is where you want it to be before you start filling it up, as it’ll be really heavy once it’s full. Put down gravel, put in plants and rocks, put down a plate on the gravel, pour water onto the plate (so it doesn’t displace the gravel), add any chemicals to remove the chlorine from tap water, install filter, add a light (check whether it’s waterproof or not), add your freshwater fish, DONE!
Space. A continuous area or expanse that is free, available, or unoccupied.
Enough of that.
I get excited aboot the future! More specifically, I get excited aboot futuristic cities!
The first video I saw that got me excited aboot the future was this one.
After viewing that, I thought to myself, “Why does that building shapeshift?” and also “sigh, it’ll take like an infinity of time before our world looks like that.”
But now, thanks to filthy oil-rich countries, my dream is becoming a reality. I give you….
MASDAR CITY!
Rather than explain it to you, just check out these videos. This nerd is annoying, but he explains most of it.

So I just finished watching the 8 videos on YouTube about Major Charles Ingram, a contestant on the British version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.
You’ve probably all heard the story about it, but if you haven’t, I don’t want to spoil it for you. Each video is about 9 minutes long, but if you have nothing better to do, I’d recommend giving them a watch.
So after I recently just got involved in a car accident (entirely not my fault) I’ve decided to write a blog about driving.
My friend got hit twice in the space of 3 hours.
Looking at the Perth road rules, I can see why they’re such bad drivers.
How to get your Ps
Age Limit
Victoria – 18
NSW – 17
WA – 17
Recorded Hours in Log Book
Victoria – at least 120 hours of supervised driving in a variety of conditions, including 10 hours at night.
NSW -at least 120 hours driving time (which includes 20 hours of night driving)
WA – On or after your 17th birthday, and once your log book has been checked and verified that you have completed the minimum 25 hours, you can sit the HPT to get your provisional licence.
So I went to a party last night, and some gatecrashers tried to join the party. They were kicked out, so they picked up empty beer bottles and threw them at us. They also punched a few people. One guy had blood rushing down his face, and another had a big cut on his eyelid.
Tonight I went to a jazz concert. On the way home I got a flat tyre due to a nail. I didn’t have the right tool to get the spare tyre out, so I called the RAC. While I was on the phone to the RAC, someone drove past and threw an egg at my car.
1. The word “thoughts”. It’s like the word “though” but with a ‘t’ on the end. Though..ts. English language is strange.
2. There are several songs I can’t enjoy anymore, or ever enjoyed. This is mainly due to their overuse at parties, socials, formals, etc. Here is a short list of the songs I don’t like, and why I don’t like them.
“I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” – The Proclaimers. Typical song to play in a pub, with everyone drunkenly shouting “I WOULD WALK 500 MILES AND I WOULD WALK 500 MORE” and then the “da da da (da da da) da da da (da da da) Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da”. Painful.
“Grease Megamix” – Joe Masciantonio. I want to shoot myself when everyone in the room screams this at the top of their lungs. (I’ve edited the video so it’s only a few seconds long, isolating the most annoying part)
“The Time Warp” - The Rocky Horror Show. I’m not sure what it is, but people just have the urge to scream as loud as they can in their falsetto voice. I think it’s hilarious. <sarcasm>
“Nutbush City Limits” – Tina Turner. I don’t have much against this song, it’s just overused, and the dance is ridiculously repetitive.
3. I wonder if I’d make a lot of money standing outside loud night clubs and selling small earplugs for 50 cents.
4. I wonder if people who look after their lawns hate their neighbours that don’t look after theirs.
5. I like when people on the internet insult someone by saying “nice grammer” and they spell “grammar” wrong.
6. Why haven’t they created cars which have windows that become fully tinted when the keys aren’t in the ignition and the doors are locked. Surely this would help keep the cars more cool on hot days. You can also turn the tinting off if you want to see outside.
7. Why haven’t they created something to put on your windscreen which you can move around and place over the sun when it’s in your eyes. Car sun visors don’t help if the sun is setting.
8. I can’t manage to do the dishes without doing something stupid which leaves me soaking wet. I’ll hold a spoon under the tap and the water will spray on me. I’ll push the scrubbing brush too hard into a glass and water will squirt out on me. I hate doing the dishes.
9. Fifi Box is not funny.
10. The Big Bang Theory is not funny. And no, it’s not because “I don’t understand the jokes”.
11. I’m guessing I probably won’t go see Bride Wars.
12. Why is my signature different every time?
13. I enjoy going the speed limit in the fast lane. The people behind me get so angry and I just smile. I wonder if they’re thinking, “STOP GOING THE SPEED LIMIT! I WANT TO SPEED!”
14. My legs are pretty much healed up as best they can. Here they are, in a GIF. (This took ages to make by the way. Stupid Macs.)
15. This song is pretty mental.
That’s it for a while! Sorry for taking so long. Been busy moving into my new place. xoxoxox
Don’t call your first born Humpty, if your surname’s Dumpty!
Don’t try to jump onto a brick ledge if you know you can’t do it.
On Wednesday the 13th of August, there was a competition to see who could jump onto a brick ledge whilst keeping their legs together. I failed.
I hobbled to the uni nurse where she filled the hole with putty, put on some bandages and sent me on my way.
Last night Julian took some nice quality pictures for all to see.
WARNING!! THESE PICTURES ARE EXTREMELY LARGE AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THEM SMALLER, AS STUPID MACS DON’T SEEM TO HAVE IMAGE EDITING PROGRAMS! ALSO, SOME PICTURES MAY CAUSE QUEASINESS!
