Today I watched a wonderful piece of television, it showed what television can really do when its put to good use.

I was in awe as I watched this footage and had to myself in disbelief, "How could I not know about this piece of television?" and "why have I never before searched for this amazing experience?". This piece of wonderous telly also acted to re-affirmed my love for Charles Bud Tingwell.

So to all of you in the blogging community I wish you luck. What you are about to watch( if you click on the link below) is some of the most amazing scences that have ever graced Australian television screens....

Who can name these crazy kids and their crazy rings?

Well, there was:
EARTH: Kwame from Africa
FIRE: Wheeler ( a bloodnut) from North America
WIND: Linka from the USSR or the former USSR
WATER: Gi from Asia
and the crappy ring went to South America

More Spagetti, I Say!

"Play with me, Minnie.
Play with me, please.
We can stand on our heads.
We can hang by our knees."

"Oh, no.
I can't play.
I can't play with you , Freddy.
Not now.
Can't you see?
I am eating spagetti."

"Now you can do it.
Now you can play.
We can jump on the bed for the rest of the day."

"No, I can not.
I can not jump and play.
Can't you see?
I need more.
More spagetti, I say!
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I do.
I love it so much!"

"More than me?"

"More than you.
I love it on pancakes
with icecream and ham.
With pickles and cookies,
bananas and jam.
I love it with mustard
and marsmellow stuff.
I eat it all day.
I just can't get enough.
I eat it on truck,
and I eat it in trees."

"You eat it too much.
Won't you play with me,
PLEASE?"

"I can run in spagetti.
And ride in spagetti.
I can jump.
I can slide.
I can hide in spagetti.
I can skate on spagetti,
and ski on spagetti.
And look at this picture.
That's me on spagetti."

"Spagetti. Spagetti.
That's all you can say.
I am going to throw your spagetti away.
I am going to throw it all over the bed,
in the grass,
in the mud,
in the paint,
ON YOUR HEAD!

Oh, Minnie,
that look on your face!
You look bad,
You look big.
You look green.
You look sick
You look sad."

"You are right.
I am green.
I feel sick.
Yes, I do.
I think I will rest.
I will sit here with you."

"Let me take this away now.
I think that I should.
And then we can play.
Mmmmmmmm! Spagetti is good.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I do.
I need more spagetti.
I can't play with you."

"But now I can play.
I can play with you, Freddy."

"Not now.
Can't you see?
I am eating spagetti."

Why Tuesdays are the saddest nights...

2006-06-06T10:47:00.000+10:00

On tuesdays I play netball this means that I miss out on two very Fun/important things: Cheap movie night AND Neighbours.

These are neigbours Stars ROCKING it out on set!

I hate Ned(boy in green), but Dr.Karl is wonderful(blue)!

Look! You can even buy Dr. Karl's Cd!

Be enlightened! Watch neighbours week nights from 6:30 pm.

Blogging is for losers

2006-05-04T22:06:00.000+10:00

On Monday night Marty had a bath. While Marty was batheing I watched Hotel Babylon in his lounge room. Sometimes when Marty feels dirty he likes to have a bath and get rid of all the dirt. Sometimes I wonder whether or not Marty has a rubber duck and If he doesn't have one would he like one(?).

On Tuesday night Marty played a computer game where you shoot other things. His player was called Spike and he started to yell out his name when Spike was dying. Sometimes Marty is sad. Marty made me some tea - Marty likes tea but not just 'English Breakfast' tea because he has refined tastes. Sometimes Marty gets angry when the tea isn't right - "milk in first or milk in second?" he thinks to himself. Marty gave me a chocolate muffin and made me watch rovelive on Tv. Marty didn't have a bath on Tuesday night.

On Wednesday Marty had to get up early because he was getting his hair cut. I got my hair cut on monday - sometimes I think that Marty likes to copy me. He once got his hair cut exactly the same as me. I wonder whether Marty had a bath on Wednesday or if he just felt like a shower. Sometimes Marty finds it hard to choose between a bath or a shower.

Sometimes Marty likes to laugh. He is a funny boy. I think Marty just had a shower today but I don't really know. Sometimes Marty likes to be funny when he is on the phone and he will just play music and be silent - so then the person he is on the phone to is silent as well. THen when Marty picks up the phone again he says "WHAT" really loudly.

Marty is funny. I wonder whether Friday is bath day?

Yayness! "We are Whispering because we're communists..."

Cheesed off...

2006-04-06T12:38:00.000+10:00

On tuesday night I played indoor netball.

We were down our GS (Goal Shooter) and as that posistion doesn't run very much I said I would play that posistion [I still feel tired and sick * COuGh* CoUgH* and I can't run much because I get exhusted very easily]. I am usually a defender and I am not so good at attacking - so this was going to be a funny game.

When I get on the court I always talk to my player (GK) - this generally makes the game better and more fun. When I said "Hello, how are you?" to the goal keeper she rolled her eyes before squaking out a angry 'hi'.

As soon as the game started she was all over me like a rash - now kids this IS what a defender is meant to do BUT she was "intimidating" by crushing her body into mine. Because she was slow she couldn't defend and even though she was continually pulled up for contact she didn't stop hurting me - she even scratched my face! All the time while she was barging me she was saying "for god's sake..." because I was albe to move around her.

Anyway the after one of our Center breaks (C throws the ball to someone in the centre third) our WA was tripped over and hurt herself. The ball came flying toward my third and I picked up the ball and walked over to where the WA was lying. As I was walking over the GK came over and SNATCHED the ball out of my hand saying "Thats my ball", to which I replyed "Settle down, someone's hurt alright"...

After the game had finished I shook her hand and held on to it for a moment while she looked away NOT making eye contact. I should have said " YOU STUPID HEAD, learn to be a good sport or just f**k off", Instead I said " Good game, try not to take it so seriously though" and she barked back at me "Well if you stopped barging me..." [Ah huh! Yes she was a physco].

Maybe this girl had emotion problems to come at me so fiercely (and hurt me), I would like to think so. The game of Netball does, however, bring out the worst in girls - a mean and competitive need to win at all costs.

This situation actually makes me think of a Simpson's QUOTE :
"Well Mrs Simpson, some people are just Jerks".

There are alot of things we can learn from SpongeBob

2006-03-27T11:24:00.000+11:00

You know kids, we can learn alot from the Flaming Lips song "Spongebob & Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy".
It has a very good message, that to have a good life you HAVE TO find a way to be HAPPY.

I will count you in, for us all to SING....One...Two...Three....Four....

Patrick, you see, I'm growing a mustache

And though I know I must ask you

Does it really make me look like a man?

Spongebob, being a manager is a tough job

I hope you're picked to be the best spongeboss they've had

Working like a dog at the Krusty Krab

Now wait a minute

I think we hit a wall

I think we hit a psychic wall

Maybe we're just young and we won't know 'til we're old

Too young to free ourselves from this lonely fish bowl

Some kind of wall

Some kind of psychic wall

Some kind of wall

Some kind of psychic wall

We can get a burn

Come on, let's find a way to be happy

Not like Plankton, he will never be satisfied

Always complaining about his life

To his computer wife

You think he would've found by now

To be sought as a king

We don't need a burn

Just what you always wanted to know....

I was INSPIRED by Mark's blog about Wikipedia (for once he had a blog that wasn't about TV)!

You know what, even though Wikipedia doesn't get everything right it sure got one thing right..... NEIGHBOURS!

"Hoooorrraaahhh!" I hear you yell! Yes, you read it right Neighbours is important enought to be on Wikipedia! Whoo - hoo.

So settle down kids, let Wiki' tell you all about those lovely Neighbours........WAIT.... No! you don't need to know the history (I know you're all closet fans), how about we remember the pets of Ramsey Street.

Dahl the galah (1994 onwards) - A galah that originally belonged to Lata Chatterji. Lata gave the bird to her boyfriend Brett Stark when they were forced to break up by Lata's brother Vikram. When Brett left, he gave Dahl to Libby to look after and it has lived in the Kennedy house ever since. However when Karl used to live in the house, Dahl sometimes made him angry.
( My favorite bit was went Dr. Karl got angry- he made me laugh)
Casserole "Cassie" the sheep (1995-2006) - Cassie the sheep is to die this year, a funeral to be shown in the next few months.
( This was Billy's sheep. When I was in year 5 I though Billy was a babe)
Audrey the dog (2002 onwards) - originally owned by Libby Kennedy, named after Audrey Hepburn. Ran away a while ago only to be found when Mal Kennedy accidentally ran her over. She survived, and now lives with Libby's mother Susan. Joe Mangel claims that Audrey has a romantic interest in Bouncer 5.
( When Libby moved away Audrey came back to the good place- Ramsey Street!)
Bob the dog (1997 onwards) - originally belonged to Sarah Beaumont. When she asked for him to join her in her new home abroad, Toadie and Stu duped her by sending a lookalike in his place. However, Sarah recently revealed in Annalise's documentary that she knew all along that the dog Toadie sent her was not the real Bob.
( Ahhh, Toadfish.... he's great. Bob is cool too BUT he does poo alot.)
Harvey the dog (2000 onwards) - The Scully's family dog. Joe Scully accidentally ran over Harvey, a stray dog, on his building site. He brought him home and it was decided that they would keep him.
( The scully are a crap family and the dog sucks too)
Bouncer 5 (occasionally abbreviated to B5) (2005 onwards) - A lazy greyhound that Joe Mangel is unsuccessfully trying to train to become a racing dog. Joe also claims B5 has a romantic interest in Audrey, as the only time B5 moves faster than a slow walk is to chase Audrey. As his name suggests, Bouncer 5 is the fifth incarnation of Bouncer, Joe's original Labrador from earlier in the series.
( ANYTHING associated with Joe Mangel is great! Long live bouncer 5)

The Original Bouncer was the best, in one storyline they follow "BOUNCER'S DREAM". Damn fine Australian Televsion!

Pet Hates #2

2006-03-13T15:48:00.000+11:00

Being at Valentine Public School when I feel DAMN sick while I get strange looks from old grandma's [I know they are saying "You're too young to have a child..."(and they are right... I am just picking up my little sister)]!!!

THEN,
To make it worse, kids start "singing yi yi yippy yippy yi..." not only is this an annoying song it increases my head ache no end.

PLUS,
I am hot and cold all at the same time.

I feel miserable. I will make the next post happier - at least I'm not vomiting! ah ha!

Wonky, sexy, incredible....

2006-03-09T19:21:00.000+11:00

You all should read "The Time Traveller's Wife". It is quite possibly one of my favorite books.

Its all about time (if you didn't already guess that from the title) with a jolted reality where the time changes constantly. All the characters are flawed in such a believable and recognisable characters. This book is one that sticks in your head and doesn't and makes you want to time travel (but not like Henry).

Here is what the book says its about (It's hard to describe):

"The Time Traveller's Wife is the story of Clare and Henry, Clare met Henry when she was six and Henry was thirty-six, Henry met Clare for the first time when he was Twenty-eight and Clare was Twenty. Impossible but true, because Henry suffers from a rare condition where his genetic clock periodically resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future..."

This book messes with time, which is one of my favorite things to do! How much free will do you really have? How much of your life is determined?

It also has a lot of decent poetry. The prologue begins with this lovely poem:

LOVE AFTER LOVE

The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will sit and smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give Bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the deperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

-Derek Walscon

Make me happy, read the book so I can talk to someone about it.

"And you can never really see the top from the bottom. I don't pay enough attention to the good things while I've got them"

While I was listening to Josh Pyke (borrowed from Caramel Pitt - AL FOIL) and looking at the album artwork I decided that:I want a tattoo!
Now this might seem like another passing cheesey idea BUT i think that a fish tattoo would be ace! Maybe that could be my New Years Resolution : get a tat!

Who wouldn't like the look of these fishes!

It is quite possible that it will hurt a bit but it will be worth it to have a life-long scar! heh heh heh....

p.s. Mark: the blogging community is growing... yay...more nerds.

Ouch!

2005-12-08T17:54:00.000+11:00

Today as I was waving at Ange and Kiggles leaving I was Bitten by an Ant. Now my foot is red and stinging. OUCH!

There is an important lesson to be learnt ( its either): Never wave good bye to people OR dont stand on Ant Hills.

(* N.B - the Ant did not look like picture displayed)

Can you read my thoughts?

Perhaps the funniest man alive. He has such Beautiful hair!

I LOVE ABBA! I always have. In 1994 my Dad bought me 'The ABBA Gold' Cd and I learnt the words and actions to all those golden ABBA Hits!

This came in handy when I was in year 6 ( last year of Primary School) and the 'Eke'ster and I, dressed up as ABBA to win the school talent quest. We dressed up in two of the finest 60's dresses in the Murray Collection and mimed the words of 'Waterloo' for the whole school, this fine rendition was aided by some magical actions to the words. The competition was tough as we lined up against some mega acts, including TLC, The Spice Girls , Coolio (Gansters Paradise Song) and the Backstreet Boys.

Our act was way cool, we got one boy to pretent he was playing the piano and Jed (who lived around the corner from me) to play guitar! Our dresses, the miming its no wonder we won! In ABBA's words "the winner takes it all...."

Very Scary

2005-10-26T15:57:00.000+10:00

Characters from Neighbours are going to die.
It is really scary - while half the cast are on a plane trip to somewhere in Tasmania.
THEN some physco puts a bomb on the plane and it blows up - and they are all going to have to swim to Tassie if they want to survive.
Cast on the plane ; Susan, Alex, Sky, Dylan, Paul, Izzy, David, Lil, Serena, Elle and Connor.
Four of the above mentioned are going to die! Can you guess?
My bet is:
David, Lil, Serena and Susan! this is terrible! I love Susan. She is awesome.
I am very upset and disturbed. hmmm, I dont like it at all.

But I do hope that the Bishops die because they are boring - and I really dispise Serena.
At least my two favorite characters will not die! Long live Toadie and Joe Mangel! They are the best.

BTW - does anyone want to come the Neighbours meet the stars night in sydney? It will be fun... I promise!

Anyway!
Til next time,
Cheese.

Sweet Dreams til Sunbeams Find You...

2005-10-03T21:06:00.004+10:00

I am so obessed... So I think I am going to leave my BLog alone for awhile....(you can see how long I last)... take bets I dare you. This is going to be a large post so you can savour the cheese goodness!

I am moving on to ZINES! (Pronounced Zines not Zeens.)
They are pretty cool if they are done right - expect these as Christmas presents kids.

This Is Not Art went really well! Like last year I didn't get to see much because I was doing TINA stuff. But What I did see was good. Saturday was the best! I didn't have to send faxes and ring people and generally be a PR Biatch. I got to work in the Bar which was loads of fun (even though I am clumbsy as hell I didn't stuff up once!). I was really excited and happy, so it sorta put a downer on the experience when a PERSON I know asked me if I was intoxicated- I wasn't, this comment annoyed me, I can be happy/silly without alcohol...

After the Bar it was TRASHDANCE! And I did get drunk because I didn't have to pay for drinks! Horrahhh! Trashdance is better at the Cambridge but It was still fun at the festival club! Thankyou first timers Janet, Cuppit, Ange and Co, Fiona, Jo and Co. and the Usual Kids for coming along. You were ace! I hope you come again! Penguin dances, stupid dances, Mapole dances, hugs from a drunk Adam, more dancing til late in the night... all made for a top night!

In classic Cheese style I did have a embarrising moment : the bedroom philosopher remembering me as the girl who had the nervous breakdown on the phone... kind of funny.

Yesterday (Sunday) TINA they had a huge street fair closing off one portion of Auckland st (Between King and Hunter) - there were markets where arty/crafty stuff was being sold...
I got 5 badges! Hoorah! They go like this: "Yeah! WHales!","Eels are Creepy", "I love Cliches", "I Liked them before you" and a free "Oh No" - There was a special deal Marty actually bought the 5th one "Look how Fucking Indie I am". Go Badges!
MARK! I lost my 'medal' at the 3 Monkeys. I went looking for it but it is lost. I was very annoyed.Its very sad.

Then in the night Jo, Marty and I had 'Lans' for dinner and then went to Jo's house and watshed 'Get over it'. I Love trashy teen movies and this one is corker! " Put your hand down little Steve..."

All in all I have had a very busy couple of weeks! It is a relief that TINA is over, I dont know if I will work on the festival next year but we will see... i am not sure if I want to be TINA's biatch anymore. It was nice to come home today, I have been living out of White Lightning and that is only fun for so long!

Now there are only 5 weeks of uni left! WOW! How time flies, just today I turned over a new page in my Harry Potter Calendar! Oh how time is an elusive beast!

Speaking of elusive beast... How Excitng! Giant Squids do exist! I thought Jo made them up! And they were found in Japan... Mark have you been hunting?

Anyhoo... "Lets all go out theres no time to waste yeah... and if life gets you down just go out and taste it and put on your Favorite Jeans. Now you can take them on - Hell, you can do anything!"
So til my next blog (which will be a fair while) have fun kids!
Don't worry kids, Cheese is just taking a break!

Best Joke Of TINA

2005-10-02T16:16:00.000+10:00

I Heard a very funny joke today from the bedroom philosopher.

What sounds like a bell and is brown?

DUNG!

What a corker!

The Play of Angst.

2005-09-30T20:59:00.000+10:00

As part of TINA the Tantrum theatre group of Newcastle put on a play in the 3 Monkeys today.

It was soo wanky. I didn't really like it. Too much angst - as Joconut said "It was just immature". Which I think perhaps it is. VERY ANGST, VERY WANKY!

Anyway,
The play did have one GREAT line in it!

In the theme of 'The Island' famous line : "MY NAME IS LINCON".
The play had a corker " I AM NOT LOLITA".

I would have laughed but the actor who spoke the line was sitting next to me ( they perfromed around you) - She also threw sugar at me.
