“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”

 - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Internet not on......

Hey guys,
I haven't posted in AGES because we've moved and we don't have internet. Lucky I have my grandmas house to go to :) Anyway, I haven't done any progress on the picture because I decided just to leave it. Partly because I can't be bothered and partly because I have no idea how to draw the hand and no one to teach me.

So yeah, I've started school so you know what that's like, another term of high school..........
I don't think I have anything left to say...

Except this! If you're my age or older, then you'll get it.... ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSugueB0eUc
It's really funny, you may have seen it on TV.


Yours truly,
Jody

Our sleepover at our great aunt's house

Hamish and I had a fun time at my great aunt's place in Vaucluse.

On Sunday, we went to our great aunt's house and in the afternoon we went whale watching and we saw a whale! It was actually kinda exciting! After that we went to Gelatissimo and had a 2 scoop gelato! I had Salted caramel chocolate and Peanut brittle chocolate! Hamish had Classic chocolate and Strawberry, and Irene (my great aunt) had Caramel and Creme brulee chocolate. The gelato was delicious! Then we went back and played with lego and stayed the night.

On Monday morning, we had a delicious breakfast of bacon and eggs and then we walked down to Parsley Bay and collected shells as well as played in the playground. I feel like a kid :D On the way to Parsley Bay was a little rainforest scenic walk :)

The branch of this tree is growing right through another tree!

I love the effects you can do on Instagram

After that we walked further down, to Doyles fish and chips shop and had fish and chips for lunch. Unfortunately the calamari was pretty tasteless so I think they definitely need to improve! After lunch we walked back home and made crafty things with the shells we collected. This is what I made:

In the end I decided to give to Irene because she spent so much money on me when we went shopping

For dinner we had the best lasagna I've ever had! I think it was because Irene used ricotta, feta and parmesan rather than a cheesy sauce which made it taste so delicious! That night I did more lego while my brother watched Mythbusters. I would've liked to watch Mythbusters but I was too hypnotized by lego. 

On Tuesday morning, Hamish had to leave early because he was going to a laser tag excursion with his school holiday care. When Irene got back from dropping Hamish off, we made frangipane tarts from one of Jamie's 30 Minutes Meals recipes. We didn't have strawberry or raspberry jam so we used Achacha jam :) Anyway, after that we ate lunch (which for me was leftover lasagna!) and then we went SHOPPING :) And Irene spent more than $100 on me! I feel so special, and spoilt, and happy! We went to Westfield at Bondi Junction and the first shop we went to was Factorie, where I got 3 shirts and an awesome pair of shoes! I was surprised they fit me because I have wide feet and it's usually hard to find shoes for me.

They are so cool!

Next we went to Supre where I got a shirt and black jeans.
That night we made cocaleekie (I dunno how to spell it) but unfortunately there were no leeks! So we just used spring onions. After that we made delicious Molten Chocolate Puddings!
And of course.......more LEGO!

The next day I had yogurt for breakfast and then I played Lego for a few hours and after I had made a hospital, an ambulance, and a rescue helicopter, we went to the Art Gallery of NSW to have lunch and look at the Japanese art exhibitions. Lunch was DELICIOUS and the exhibitions were really pretty. And after that, unfortunately, it was time to go home. So Irene drove me home and now I've got to start packing again!!! Because we are moving on Friday. So I've got to get these boxes filled!

Yours truly,
Jody

Merida (cont.) 2

Here's a better picture of my drawing

Merida (cont.)

I continued the Merida drawing I started last night and this is what I did this morning

And in the afternoon I continued on from that and this is what I have
(Sorry the pictures are so blurry)
I didn't want to colour in the hands because I drew them so badly. It's kinda hard to avoid something like the hands especially when one is so close her cape and her hair.

I guess I could just look at it without her hands.

 Oh well. I'll just leave it.....

Yours truly,
Jody

Merida

Currently working on 'Merida' from the movie 'Brave' (which I saw yesterday). I think I'll just do the head and shoulders but it might take me a while because she has so much hair.

This is what I've started

This one has an effect on which I took with Instagram but only because I was taking the picture at night.

This is the original but you can see why I put the effect on (the lights were so dim).

So yeah, I will post another picture up of my progress soon.

Yours truly,
Jody

A very funny and very TRUE quote!

Well, I know it's not time for the weekly quote yet but I HAD to share this one with you!

“The difference between genius and stupidity is; genius has its limits.”
- Albert Einstein

Brave

I just watched 'Brave' at Hoyts cinemas! 

Hamish, Hubert and Harris when they are all turned into little black bears. How cute!

A lovely movie about a princess called Merida who wants to change her fate. Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. She becomes angry at her strict mother and her routines. She is lead to a witch who makes her a spell to change her mother. Unfortunately, things don't turn out quite how she had planned. 

Watch the trailer for a sneak peek. Or, just watch the movie!

I thought it was great but I think YOU should be the real judge. I would recommend it so take my word for it and go see it! At the most convenient time for me it was only on in 2D but I'm happy to say that you can also watch it in 3D which I'm sure would be really good! I personally like 3D better :)

Yours truly,
Jody

OMG, This is too cute!

Oh, I SO agree!

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries

Essie Davis as Miss Phryne Fisher

Sigh, I just adore "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries". I can't wait until they make a Series 2! I wasn't sure if they would at first and I was really hoping they would but I saw on Wikipedia that a second series would be released next year in 2013. It's amazing how different someone can look with a wig on. I had no idea she was wearing a wig at first but I think Essie Davis looks good in black :)

Oh well, looks like I'm just gonna have to wait....At least I was lucky enough to have an awesome grandpa who bought me the whole of Series 1 from the ABC shop! Now I can watch any of them whenever I like!
