Weekly News Round-Up #83: 08/02/2015

G'day all! Well it's been a week and a half, or so it feels like it! To my horror I had a full day of lessons on Monday and I have to admit it feels like we've devolved and are no longer built for full days. Brightening up the day, ANT announced that she watched 'Legally Blonde 2'. Naturally, her review of it was something along the lines of "terrible, but still enjoyed it; 7 out of 10!" And who could blame her, you gotta love rom-coms. When discussing the movie, DisneyLoverMolly realised that she didn't remember much of what happened expect for the gay dogs. The conversation took a quick turn as Wicks was reminded of a documentary she'd seen about gay penguins. I fail to remember the exact statistic in a population, but it seemed to be nature's very own birth control, as the gay penguins compensated for their more promiscuous aunts. Well look at that, we've come full circle on evolution and devolution!

In other news, Sharah tells all about the fool in King Lear, but we were all momentarily baffled due to hearing 'fall instead of 'fool'...plot twist? Hmm, I think not. Meanwhile, DLM's English teacher finally answers her email; hurrah! Also, Wicks asks if anyone still remembers the dance to the Time Warp (let's do the time warp agaaain!) since ArwaChihuahua seemed to have no recollection of its existence.

Whilst talking of summer, Sharah told us about her experiences at Gig in the Park when she was younger. The overall impression we got was that Sharah did a lot of venturing out on her own whilst others were a little tedious, for example, the grown-ups feeding the kids tales of killer bees that would sting you if you were loud...likely story. When thinking of things to do in the summer, we thought it might be fun to take a trip to the Isle of Wight inspired by the events in Badger's Day Out. Wouldn't that be delightful.

The week's biggest lunchtime discussion topic was Harry Potter. One major area that we felt Hogwarts could have done better on was protecting students against the Basilisk. Although it seems an impossibly large task, a suggestion was that they could have provided glasses. This lead to quite a funny image being painted in our imaginations; Dumbledore handing out novelty glasses, for example, the ones with a moustache attached to the bottom, perhaps Snape could've had a hot pink cat-eye shaped pair... Anyway, when going through Voldemort's timeline and that location of horcruxes, it appeared to us that Albania proved to be quite the popular tourist destination for Harry Potter characters. And one final question: does Bellatrix love Voldemort? Discuss.

Reaching the middle of the week, ArwaChihuahua and Wicks contemplated going to see Big Hero 6 (according to Wicks there's no connection with Big Hero 1 - 5). When explaining the premise of the film, it was clear that there's some sort of robot school, but not quite anything is related to robots...and enigma it is.

Thursday saw Wicks explaining to us about a rather 'mundane', as she described it, dream, where we were doing some filming in a wonderfully grand house that was situated in the middle of a theme park. Unfortunately Wicks had left some equipment behind but, when trying to re-enter the theme park, ended up having to deal with a rather difficult douchebag of a gatekeeper.

Ending the week, DLM announces that she is addicted to the mobile game Bubblemania. Meanwhile Master got her hair cut, but it took people a little while to realise, due to the deceptive nature of the shorter cut looking like just a shorter layer.

And there you have it, a whistle-stop tour of the events and happenings of the week!

Until next time, have a good one :)
