Wow that is a horrifically bad title, but I guess you’ll start to see a pattern as I get into these!! So, yesterday I made a pledge that I’d blog every day for the next two weeks in the lead-up to Blog Action Day, so here I am on Day 1. (really bad memories of failed holiday diaries have just come to mind, so perhaps this might not go so well, but here I am optimistically on Day 1)
This will be a short post, I thought if I didn’t make this official it wouldn’t happen! I pledge (from tomorrow) to write about 2 articles of the UDHR each…
This post is dedicated to all the children’s entertainers out there.
Went to a 1 year old birthday party yesterday. It was a large family affair with many many children of mixed ages attending. As seems to be the thing these days, there was entertainment for the children. As they all gathered at the small table with far too much junk food and soft drinks (after all, it IS a party, let em live it up!) a clown entered, stage right. He seemed like the average sort of clown, struggling to keep the children of quite a varied age range entertained. My Mr5 was right in there, I would hazard a guess that 5 is probably an optimum age for clown entertainment. Mr2 was not so interested, preferring instead to chow down on copious amounts of salty snacks and then wash it down with equally copious amounts of soft drink. (Pop or Soda for the North American readers amongst us)
I was lucky enough recently to be invited to the media screening of Lee Daniels’ The Butler through work. It was awesome! (and much much better than the 6.5/10 that IMDB users seem to think it is!) It’s based on the true story of Eugene Allen who served 8 US Presidents as a staff member in the White House. According to various sources online that seems to be where the similarities end.
Listened to the Wonder Rose Rice commercial for the umpteenth time today. For those of you that don’t know (and really, why should you) it’s a new brand of rice for sale in NZ. Apparently it comes with quite an aggressive marketing strategy, I’ve hardly heard ads for any other rice brands! Also it’s available in the Chinese supermarkets too… wow!
