SuperTiph and an Umbrella

Maybe it's the nanny gig. Maybe it's all the work Dad's been pouring into my car lately. Maybe it's because I was searching for seat covers. Whatever the reason, I feel a great urge to watch a large quantity of Sesame Street (my car's name is Ernie, after the Sesame Street character). I want to live the old days where the superstars of Sesame Street didn't have interfering segments and characters. Back in the days when your biggest worry was you'd spend too much time playing in the sandpit and you'd miss half of Lift Off.

Big Bird was a superstar. He was the socialite of Sesame Street. Everyone could talk to Big Bird. All the adults loved him. All the other monsters respected him. He knew his place, he didn't put his beak where it wasn't wanted and he wasn't afraid to ask questions.

Bert and Ernie were superstars. I didn't take to Bert. He always wore a sour expression and was forever ruining Ernie's fun. I loved Ernie. He was and is my favourite Sesame Street superstar. He sings cool song (...and I tip my hat, imagine that, imagine that, imagine that, imagine that. Sometimes I imagine that I would like to be.....), he has a cool laugh and he would always smile. The only time I like Bert was that segment on the aeroplane where he sat next to the Dad from "Honey I Shrunk the Kids". Bert smiled in that segment.

Kermit was a superstar. He had the news that had the cool noise before it. He had a funny voice too.

Elmo was a superstar. Although, he annoyed me. But he was a star.

Grover and the Blue guy were superstars. But only together. Grover was a bit of a dipstick, but that worked well in the segments with the Blue guy. I think Grover also did the audition for "Oklahoma" and he went through all the vowels. That was a good one.

The Count WAS a superstar. But not anymore. The Count was by himself with short segments. Now he interacts. I do not like this.

Oscar was a superstar. Everybody still loved him even though he was a grouch. I could love Oscar, but I couldn't love Bert.

These were the days when children only appeared on the show when they gave information about their lives (how to clean your teeth, how to dance in a wheelchair etc.). These were the days when the adults were there only when absolutely necessary. These were the days when Telly and Snuffleuffagus were around, but not over involved and that was the way their characters worked best. The days when the adults only showed up when absolutely necessary. The days when stupid characters like Baby Bear and Zoe had no place on the Street. The days when there was no "Elmo's World" or "Global Grover"

These days are no longer with us, but I still want to watch copious amounts of Sesame Street anyway.

A Touch of the Flu

Due to many factors I believe I have contracted a case of the flu. It is yucky. I feel gross. Actually I feel like I'm in someone elses body. It is yucky and I feel gross, but I'm sure you already knew that.

The thing is you know you'd feel a million times better if you had a shower, put on something other than your pyjamas (or got a clean pair of pyjamas) and brushed your hair, however you feel too dreadful to do those things, and the only way to stop feeling so dreadful is to do those things and we have a nice little case of catch 22.

So what do you do when you have the flu? What are your homemade remedies for feeling better?

Well I am off to try and have a shower, get changed, drink some flat lemonade and finish my assignment.

GEROGE FOR PRESIDENT!!

A good nanny always has an umbrella.

A Neophyte for SuperTiph

I would now like officially acknowledge my new neophyte: sean@. I'm sure he will be a prosperus and noble neophyte and all who are part of the one80 website will respect him as they respect me. I will passing on some wisdom to him, so he will know the wisdomic ways of SuperTiph, although, I doubt he'll ever be a nanny.

Sean@, you are now inductified.

Back after a while

Well I must say I have been quite busy with my new Nanny College requirements and such. So much to be done!! But it's all quite enjoyable.

I like nearly all my of class members. There are only two who make it hard for us to get a long with them. The rest of the girls are good mates.

I am working with 9 month old twins and a 2 and a half year old on prac and they are very good and their mother is lovely.

I am getting driving lessons soon, they're full up so it's kind of hard to get them, but I will get them. I'm booked in for a Thursday afternoon, so stay off the road then. Actually it's probably better to stay off the footpath.

Hope all my 2 and a half faithful readers are doing well.

Remember: GEROGE FOR PRESIDENT!!
