My Beloved New Toy

I recently acquired an X1. Although I haven't had time to figure out the manual settings, the automatic still gives a picture your character. The lack of zoom function is immensely frustrating, as is the inability to take close ups, but otherwise, it's beautiful. Here are two of my first shots.

How everyone should feel when eating ice-cream

Greenhouse

I stood for 2 hours in the dark, behind a young couple with a 2 year old kid to dine at Greenhouse by Joost. To while the time away, we alternated between waiting in line and seeing who could get drunk the quickest off $16 dollar cocktails in jars from the rooftop bar.

When it was my turn to wait in line by myself, I struck up a conversation with the bloke in front of me. His kid was understandably going bonkers from hunger, running around in circles and dodging mum. I asked the man what TV shows kids watched these days.

Dad: In the night garden. It's insane.

Me: What do you mean?

*Mum finally catches her kid*

Mum: (panting heavily) It's the ninky nonk!

Dad: She means it's crack for kids.

Back in my day, we had Playschool and The Trap Door. Even as a 4 year old kid, I thought Drutt making fart noises was weird, but current children's tv is a whole new dimension of whacked up. Take Yo Gabba Gabba for example.

After a particularly hard night clubbing, my mates and I found ourselves at someone's home. It was around 8am so we were either still inebriated or massively hung-over, but too pumped up to sleep. Someone turned on the TV and all we could see was a man in Orange surrounded by colourful monsters shaking and singing. It was like we were on drugs. We were mesmerised until a monster swallowed another whilst dancing. Let's just say, the contents of our intestines were almost more colourful than the show.  

What's the freakiest kid's show you've seen lately?
