:D

I went to the doctor today to make sure I'm not going to die. She listened to my heart, poked my stomach...then I got to go next door for a blood test! Oh it was so much fun! I had only had a TINY bit of water to drink in the morning so it took a while for the woman to find some blood. In National Geographic there was an article on China. According to the writer, only 10% of used water is treated. The rest is put back into the water cycle :yuck:

Then I went to the city to get some passport photos (not for my passport, but for general use)....I look like the grumpiest/unhappiest person ever! Then I bought some stuff and saw Dr Karl Kruszelnicki outside the bookshop, signing books. He even had a security guard!


WILDLIFE
Yesterday I cooked tea and required some parsley...I went out the front to the pot where the parsley grows, only to find that it had died :frown: However, I heard something russling in the leaves....


My mum was doing some gardening and picked up a 'stick', only to realise that she was holding this lizard! hahahaha!!


My dad and I went walking yesterday evening and we saw an echidna....and, my dad had a camera :smile:

The spikes are really weird looking; they appear to be hollow in the middle.


Echidnas eat termites/ants


We always thought that kids had been demolishing the ants' nests. But it was the echidnas!

Week 9

At uni, it's week 9, so here's what happend....


In my house, we get a new point and shoot camera nearly every week.

Up until a month or so ago, I was using a Samsung Digimax A40 (I think). It's 3 years old and has 3 or 4 MP. The view finder screen thing was VERY clear. I liked it. Only problem, you couldn't change any settings (well, I couldn't find a way to)

Then I used 4 other cameras and they all annoyed me for various reasons.
  • The screens were pixely and noisy
  • One didn't have an 'on button'...instead there was an 'on wheel'
  • Too big and if it could talk this particular camera would say 'Hi, I'm Cameron the camera. I'm a point and shoot but in my dreams, I'm a DSLR'
  • One kept grizzling that it was flat
  • One had a 'shield' thing over the lens, that you had to slide across when you wanted to take a photo.


For the past few days I have been using a Kodak M1033 HD(but mine is black) for a while. It looks better than all the others...but it's kind of weird. However, I am able to change the settings such as exposure times and other stuff that only people who know lots about cameras can explain. So, lets see if this one annoys me too.

Some photos (these are not here to show you how good/bad the camera is...because I only worked out how to make it take GOOD pictures 5 minutes ago)

Water is precious in Australia. You're only allowed a shower once every two weeks P:


It's everyone's favourite friend/sheep/crime fighter/celebrity chef...INTERSHEEP!


Please put your gum into the bin!!

Smelly guy:
Yesterday a guy with an extreme case of BODY ODOUR sat next to me in the computer pool. It was HORRIBLE! I was going to move, but there were no other free computers :frown: Come on, get yourself some anti perspirant!

Echidna
I went walking yesterday and saw an echidna. I didn't have a camera :frown: This echidna has a camera though...and a better one than mine!

FREE icecream
Miss D and I went to McDonalds yesterday afternoon for icecream. The staff made an icecream for someone in the drive though, but the customer didn't want it. The girl asked me if I wanted it. YESSSS! So, I got a free icecream :smile:

That's all for today my friends.
