Here's a picture of Ben's half-boat; I don't know which half is his and I was hoping for a side-on shot but still - there it is and it needs a name. (Don, I don't know that your suggestion will make it - care to try again?)As for me, I've spent the last 3 days shut in the house, supposedly to write the essay I mentioned in my last post, but in reality I procrastinated a lot and it eventually got done mostly yesterday in the end. Despite my reluctance to actually write the thing (and many of you will be able to vouch for my general lack of a work ethic when it comes to study), this was a great paper to write because the topic is so relevant to what I'm heading overseas to do. So I've built up a good amount of rage and motivation about it over the last few days, always the sign that I'm getting into something.
Meanwhile, I'm not getting very much planning done for Ernie. I'll have to get most of it done in the next week because I'm heading interstate again the week after to work again. In any case, I don't need to take much with me, do I? Really? Mostly books and mosquito nets and a couple of changes of clothing, iPod, laptop...I think Asia is a good place to travel really light.
This post is not very interesting, I can't remember any of the things that I thought of over the last couple of days that made me think, "Oh - I should write that in my blog!". I blame Tomoko for encouraging me to eat dessert last night, so that when I got home I felt SO. SICK. and spent a good part of the night groaning. Ugh.
Incidentally, the restaurant we went to last night only has full-cream milk. I don't know whether this extends to the exclusion of soy milk as well, but that's the second restaurant in Melbourne I've been to that has such a policy. I don't mind it, but then again that's because a) I can't drink milk anyway, and b) if I could, I'd drink full-cream. What do you guys think? (Great Questions Of Our Time, #423)

I think it's a bit snooty only having full-cream milk, but it doesn't really bother me. I would just go somewhere else for my skinny milk-enriched foodstuffs.
Quynh, have you by any chance seen the Wikipedia entry for the Baby-Sitters Club? It is excellent and very comprehensive. I didn't know Mary-Anne broke up with Logan! Argh!
My favourite part is Claudia's description of her fashion style -
"I just adore dressing up in wild clothes. Take today's clothes for instance. I'm wearing a tie-dye shirt (I made it, of course), a pair of white skin-tight trousers, and some funky jewelry I picked up in a thrift store. I'm also wearing pink sunglasses. I also have long hair which I love to style."
Nice.
I can't believe someone out there knows BSC better than us. We must be the champions from #1-#40 and the first 6 super specials though.
DUDE. I'm sure I pwn you at BSC these days. Did I mention I started collecting BSC books again? I don't think Mum approves, she snarked at me when I said I wanted to find op shops to buy more. I joined the LJ community and you wouldn't believe how much some people analyse those things. At least I don't roleplay.
Ben could modify Don's suggestion to "Ben's Smallish Blue Half-Boat".
Biggishness is all in the mind. And 0.5 rounds up to 1.
My suggestion stands.
Also, there is always someone on the internet who knows more than you about a topic. Unless you have no life, because that topic expert surely doesn't.
There are people who do BSC roleplay?
God Ngy, there's a whole new BSC WORLD out there that didn't exist in our day...if only we were born 15 years later!
Not real-life roleplay (as far as I know) - that would just be freaky. But there are heaps of online BSC RPs. They're pretty much all post-canon though.
Damn! We so should've done BSC roleplaying when we were in Year 7. I put dibs on Mary Anne.
Check out this blog. I wish I'd thought of doing this!
Doooood, the coffee thing, was this at marios? I quite like full cream lattes but they contain 9.2 grams of fat on average. This is fat better spent on something delicious like a bit of cake, non? think about it.
I was not allowed to read BSC when I was young : (
No it was at Longrain. How can the average latte contain 9.2 grams of fat when milk is only 4% fat? ...*lightbulb moment* - 200ml of milk in a latte? I was prohibited from many guilty childhood pleasures. Was never allowed to watch Home & Away, Neighbours, The Simpsons or 90210, and my BSC time was rationed. Nat is lucky, she got to do all of those things.
*deprived child*
For some reason, the only show I wasn't allowed to watch was It's a Knockout.
I don't understand why. Was it Fiona MacDonald? The guest appearances by Tiffany Lamb? Who knows.
After a while my parents made me stop reading BSC, probably because it was the only books I read. Maybe they thought it was having a negative influence on me - like the sudden appearance of stirrup pants in my wardrobe.
