The Fly Trap

I had a dream. I can either instantly kill all the flies in the world and erupting ecosystem, or I can leave them alone. I chose to kill them anyway

That's how much I hate flies. And the number of flies around this place can be expressed in terms of moles. It's like experiencing timbertop again.

To make the fly trap, you need a lamp/light bulb, a cone and a container of some sort.

What I used is a lamp from Bunnings (less than $10, halogen lamps lasts for 2+ years, good buy)
A foam cup from the pantry, and a roll piece of paper and cut the tip of the cone off.
Total material cost: $0. I fixed a lamp that a fellow perry student threw out.

Combine it all together, and you get this:
The theory behind the fly trap is simple. Fred the fly see the warmth of light... he gets closer to it. Ouch he burns his legs, and loses his co-ordination for a split second, and down he falls thru the funnel. Dam the funnel hole is too small for him to fly back thru. See you next life.

To make it aesthetically pleasing, place a tube of colour paper around the fly trap to make it look like a night light.

anamnesis

Time to procrastinate.


Recall Chpt 1_: D.O.A.

D.O.A. is one of the crappest movies ever made. But some movies you don't watch because of the movie. If you played or seen the D.O.A. game before, it doesn't take you long to figure out what you watch the movie for.
When Adam Boom I went to watch it, the theatre was 100% males. Literally.


Recapture Chpt 2_: N2C

Despite not playing computer games for a whole term, melbourne got too boring. When that happens, it's N2C. There is always those exceptions whose melbourne=N2C. Namely Karl.

But hey, you don't get to see this often.
Girls in N2C.


Recollection Chpt 3_: Tram

You know those movies where buses or trains are abandoned. They usually end up with ghosts or aliens popping out of nowhere. So one fine day in a tram, the only person on-board was me
And being the tourist that i was, getting off the tram was not the first priority. Taking the photo certainly was.


Reminiscence Chtp 4_: Dinner

One fine night Asho and Sallyanne came to Que's place for dinner. You have to love it when Que+mum cooks. Their newest creation: Prawns with creamy garlic sauce.

No photos of that coz food>tourist.

What was amusing tho was dish-washing. After rinsing, a little bowl was stacked in a big bowl. And it doesn't come out.
After using scientific methods that failed, I tried the whole develop-relationship method. Yea I had too much time.
Yes, that is Bnet. But after two games and it still didn't come out...


Retention Chpt_5: Finals

Ok. No offence to footy lovers, but sometimes they take it too far. Footy is all about the game. It is not about blockading roads in the city and having a parade going through the CBD.

The tram stopped at the Art Centre and did not proceed to the city. The road was blockaded. I kept walking on the road, until I realised there was a parade behind me.

For those who have no sense of direction, this is how far i had to walk
I got off at Art Centre, walked all the way to Flinders station, roadblock, walked to Russell, then all the way to QV. Grr - -"


Retrospection Chtp 6_: JET

Last day of holiday, visited my guardian's son. After he travelled round the world, he decided to live with a friend for a while. Turns out his friend is the drummer of JET. Turns out his father's guardian child is a tourist.

Looking around, and thought there were a few salt and pepper shakers on the fridge. Pretty stylish ones eh.
And their most famous album, Get Born.
That's a 9-times platinum award.
