The weekend is finally here and summer in Waterford is coming to an end soon! Here’s some of the stuff I’ve come across during the week. Give em a looksy!
After a longgg week of study (yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) and trying to put together a website for my course, I am so glad that it’s finally Friday! And if any of you haven’t seen Bruno yet, then go see it right now! It’s actually brilliant. You’re king Osama looks like a kind of dirty wizard
I like this song. Only this much of it was released yesterday, but hopefully the whole song will be.
Alot of trouble in my house this week about videos from years ago going missing so I thought if tell ya about VHS “cassettes” (ughhhhh). They are usually black, plastic, over sized and “taped” on a million times. Usually there would be stickers with them too, so you can put the names of programs on it, these stickers would often not be applied properly. Then there is the cardboardy cases… Oh when life was more simple and the concept of Sky+ to people about here about 10 years ago sounded like a myth. Just incase you forgot what these looked like, here’s a gorgeous one you can peep at.
Ah yes, Fab Friday returns and hopefully I will keep it up this time!
I’m relieved to have my blog back after I thought the worst had happened. Here’s some stuff I found over the last few weeks!

The Macaroon bar. Easy enough to find and often found in paper packaging. It is very Irish and I’m sure any Irish person will know what they are or remember the simple packaging. The last time I had one they cost 10p ! The ingredients are basic, listed as milk chocolate, desiccated coconut and vanillin. If you see them anywhere, I definitely recommend buying a few, it’s so hard not to like them.
” The PowerDrive is a 2-in-1 device with an automatic Disc Library (storage/retrieval) and an external DVD writer. It allows you to access your CD/DVD library and a built-in optical drive simultaneously. As a storage device, it provides enormous capacity, (100 DVDs per unit or 12,700 DVDs per system, via USB hubs) – imagine what you can do with a maximum of 600 trillion bytes of online storage space when it’s filled up with re-writable DVD discs. Searching for any CD/DVD title or audio/music/video is simple, all it takes is a PC command. The disc is automatically loaded into the optical drive in seconds and is readily available for your applications. A digital library is created the first time you insert a CD into the system, or it’s expanded whenever you add a new disc to the system, using the CD LIBRARY 5.0 software that comes with the unit. ”
As the weekend officially begins, its time to reflect on Joe’s amazing findings of the week to amuse and entertain you all.
Anybody else remember waking up on Christmas morning to their first games console? I remember the excitement. Getting up, rushing downstairs, seeing the box. I got a Super Nintendo and wow what a console it was. Playing “All-Stars” and Mario and Yoshi for hours. Back in the simple days. *sigh*
This is absolutly rediculous. What a fool she was all the same. She deserves nothing like this. You would swear she did something that changed the world the way people go on about her….
Hey Arnold! was created by Craig Bartlett and is based on his comics starring Arnold, which he created in 1986. Using the Will Vinton facilities Walkabout Program (a student production lab), Craig Bartlett created his Arnold Escapes From Church short film which later generated two more clay-animated short films, The Arnold Waltz (1990) and Arnold Rides a Chair (1991) which eventually aired on an early-1990s episode of Sesame Street. The familiar, cel-animated Arnold came about in the mid-1990s when Nickelodeon picked up the new series. Apart from the animation style, Nick’s Arnold now wears a sweater, with his plaid shirt untucked (resembling a kilt). Only Arnold’s cap remains from his original clay-animation wardrobe. “Arnold” comic strips also appeared in Simpsons Illustrated magazine (Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, is Craig Bartlett’s brother-in-law.).
Jay and Matthew on their big day out (never anywhere)
Tis’ what everyone looks forward to every week, everyone dying to see what Joe has instore for them! Unfortunatly today also happens to be “good” Friday and I think my feelings about this day are clear (see here). But anyway these are sure to brighten up your day and make you forget about the tragedy that is today!
A time capsule buried by the network in 1992 in front of Sound stage 18 was removed in August 2006 and was replaced with concrete. The time capsule contained items deemed important to the children of 1992 as voted upon by Nickelodeon viewers, including a new Nintendo Game Boy, an issue of Nickelodeon Magazine, a Home Alone VHS tape, clips of Nickelodeon station IDs and various other toys. The time capsule was scheduled to be opened on April 30 2042, 50 years after its burial. The capsule was reburied at the Nickelodeon Family Suites in Orlando. It is still scheduled to be opened in 2042. Imagine the mould and grot on the gameboy and how it will compare to the kind of technology we will have by then :O
