I showed this list to my Aussie friend Chris, which consequently confused him… This also inspired me to show him the Sharon, Lois and Bram opus, in which I then explained The Elephant Show and the song that goes with it. I grew up watching this show. Oh yes and Casey and Finnegan were from the show Mr. Dress Up. This inspired us to talk about old childhood shows. We also discussed dream analysis, but that’s another story.

And the rest of the day went like this…

I got up early to go hang out with my friends. I showed them the movie I was making. I thought it was crap, they thought it was creative and wonderful. Ah by the way this movie has taken up a lot of space on my computer. When I am done it will be put on a disc. I also had my student loan papers signed. I need them or I shall be un enrolled an in violation of my student visa, which means they could send me packing. Not good. I don’t think that will happen though.

Amy, Chris and I are getting Antonia a good bye present. She is from Hong Kong and is soon returning home. Amy bought her something “Australian” which happened to be a koala toy. Chris bought a picture frame. I am supplying the picture and the card. I am going to miss Antonia.
