staying in

Our blog description doesn't really make sense anymore

So we are no longer 'prowling' the streets of Wellington, but roaming in the equally cool Dunedin in the south island. While I have just got internet connected to my dorm room today, Lou has had it for a while and has taken over the blog with her posts, but alas, now I am back. Sort of. I am kind of uninspired to blog at the moooment, but today our floor went on a little mission to the Dunedin Botanic Gardens so here is a little stop motion for you just to prove I am alive and still exist.
Here is Charlotte in a part of the gardens near the end of our tranquil walk.

I flew in the pilot's seat

our timed scrabble game  / a stopmotion of the night before / glass reflection / the little plane / my le specs / the island's shed sized airport building / road signs / Auckland out the window / the little plane's control board and steering wheel in front of where I was sitting (it was really scary) / Wellington skies in its golden hour

Mail

Thank you to everyone who voted for our video we made for the fly buys competition a while back (esp. Tom for your technology and danishes), because today Aps got a package in the mail and a nifty looking pocket video camera. We don't know what it is exactly yet but it will be our 'company camera.'

(We don't have a company. It's just going to be a blog camera. But company camera sounds better riiiight.)

Festivities

We are hosting the family Christmas party this year. Ugh. But a 'pro' is that I can make decorations yay. Tissue paper pompoms.
They're so much fun! A whole packet of tissue paper went into making this one in my time lapse below. (yes I made another time lapse). Here's what they look like:

I made about 10 last night, all in different sizes and I'm going to hang them up with invisible thread over the dining room table. EEeeeeeee. I'll post a picture when they are all set up and stuufff.

Will you be my fly-by?

Here is most of Sunday in pictures. It doesn't include the ninja games or the strange run-in we had with all of Lou's juggling neighbours who asked to join our roof party when we got locked out. Which it turned out in the end that we weren't really locked out. Yes.

We spent a few fustrating hours on an Adobe Premiere program trying to make our photos into a stop motion...but failed. Luckily we have a super smart computer savvy friend who can sleep-code programs, (when his hands are taped to his laptop...worrying? Slightly). Hurrah to strawberries, iMovie and Final Cut Pro!

Vote for our video!

PS. If you're interested... our little clip was made from about 800 photos. Pheww.

A more PG video

Its sunny as anything and I'm inside studying. Well I was anyway. Mum's taking me to spotlight in a few minutes.

Ze Magazine a la Vespa

 

Hundreds (well not quite hundreds) of Vespa issue two's actually did arrive in a little brown box on the wednesday it was supposed to! Hurrah! Also... Here's a stop motion video we made in chinese class the other day. Procrastination in a more creative form.
