The End

I figure i may as well wrap this up with one last blog...

Eth covered pretty much all the thanks, but i will add thanks to all our parents, especially my Dad for his camera, Garry for his car, Milton for putting up with Eth every morning and Mum for letting us turn her house into mess for a week.

In case you didn't realise, we won!

Some Highlights (in no particular order):

1. David's opshop outfit. 8 items, matching in style and colour range, fitting perfectly, and looking excellent!

2. Dad: "Who was Dumbledore? He was one of those hobbits wasn't he?"

3. Tim's Proposal to Amber, BRILLIANT!!! Cant wait to watch it after church on Sunday night

4. Amber: "...Yeah...Sure..."

5. The overnight story, of Pip and his woeful adventures. See the page connected to the blog, and read all 25 parts! (Recommended one every half hour).

6. The Gingerbread Lighthouse and the Mentos Icecream. The first was impressive, and the second very tasty.

And I'm sure there were plenty more that I can't remember!


So, i guess that's it for this year (after some laughs on Sunday at Tim's expense), follow us (whoever "us" may be) again next year, with any luck!!

Yay!!

Yay we won. Congrats to everyone on the team for an awesome, fun filled week. Thanks to Amber for letting us use your house, straightener (my hairs boofier than its ever been now... it went back to normal after 20 or so mins), curler (david) and being in videos and stuff. Thanks Josh for driving us to forry and for letting us take stuff from your house and for being in one of our videos.

I think thats basically all the thanks. I'll end by recapping everything that we did today.

We started off at Bryce's where we tied up loose ends for some items and made sock puppets and started a home alone plan. We then packed everything into the car and sent it over to church... unfortunately there wasn't enough room in the car so Tim and I had to walk but we got picked up at Tim's house after finding a giant teddy bear.

At church we organised everything before going to Amber's house.

So we headed to Amber's house (grabbing some carrots on the way!) and straightened my hair and curled David's (it wasn't on the list but he wanted it done anyway) and filmed the twilight vs. Harry Potter chess match. After that and rewatching all the videos we moved back to church. We found some material on the side of the road and decided that it'd make a good flag. We brought it into church and little did we know that it was cockroach infected. We then spent the next couple of minutes hunting them down... it ends up we missed a few cause Mark did some flip thingy and squished 3.

After that we went round and handed out fliers for Dave (go to Better Backs) before ditching Tim at his house and marching back home... not the whole way but a bit of it. And then came the judging... and thats pretty much it.

So this is probably the last post from me until next year so seeya! =)

Carrots!


Well we've done the hair straightened by a girl task and David's decided that he wants his hair curled now so he's sitting in the chair with Amber curling it right now.
We also bought some carrots from coles (yum!) and videoed Harry Potter vs. Twilight (Checkmate!).
Other than that we are just tying off loose ends of items and sending them over to church.

See you all at the judging and good luck.
Mark says hi and Bacon! (he's had too much sugar... lollies for lunch)

The Final Countdown

Last day today!

I got the lighthouse mechanism working just before, so im happy about that, and the story last night was awesome!!!

Ive posted the first 2/3 in a separate page on this blog, and i need to get the final third off Tim. Sorry about the odd formatting, I'm sure Ethan will figure it out...

So today should just be tying off some loose ends, and sadly, I dont think I've left myself enough time for the Rube Goldberg machine =( but hey, it might still happen!

We need to film Harry Potter Vs Twilight (Checkmate!), and Fav Things, and maybe a few photos here and there, with a pie or cake or both on the side, and perhaps some houseplans and venn diagrams too!

Good luck to us getting it all up to church... oh dear...

The Woeful Tale of Sally, Barry and Me

Well we all went to Tim's to do some of the pictures and the veggie tales characters and were joined by Josh and Amber. After a bit of the aforementioned stuff we all headed over to Forest Hill to do some Elevator Adventures (with the exception of Bryce who went home to get some sleep. We also took a picture at Wobbie's world and we got the feeling that a few other groups had been there from the reaction of the lady.


After that we did infact raid Josh's house and got many useful things.


And Tim has a lot of tazos for some reason.


Well I'm glad my shift is over for the story. I can finally get some sleep. I hope Tim's slept enough to be able to continue this thing. Either way I managed to survive the night with a bit of angry birds and just sorta sitting on my bed and semi sleeping yet still being fully conscious (don't ask). I'm gonna post this thing then go to bed so yeah enjoy... and if it jumps around and doesn't make sense at some parts which im sure it will (jump around) and won't (make sense) probably like what i just wrote just remember that I'm tired =D Good luck Tim.


This part of the story focuses on pip questing for people who will quest with him to find the princess. Enjoy =)

Masterpeice!


Here is the lighthouse! (without a light, so far)

And here is the first paragraph, of the first ep of our story:

I'm Pip, and I’m nobody. I live in the kingdom of Azaria, and though I get people to address postcards to the castle, I actually live in an old shack slightly off to the side, and I sweep horse poo off the roads that the royals walk on up to the castle gates. That pretty much sums me up. I started nowhere (my Dad claims that he is from a line of surfs who actually swept inside the castle, but no-one believes him), and I’ll likely finish up nowhere. But hey, lets not get down on ourselves, I always keep positive, and I know I’ll be happy in the end.

Tantalising eh?

Yay!

The gingerbread lighthouse worked! I need to rethink my rotating mechanism, but i reckon it can be done =)

The latest count of things off the list was 93 completed, so im happy! My aim at the start of the week was to do 100 things, and earn 1000 points, and i think we are within spitting distance of it.

But we're not there yet! A story to write tonight (The woeful tale of Sally, Barry and Me), and more to finish off tomorrow. We shall keep busy

Im sure there were many great quotes and stories today, but nothing springs to mind, maybe ill think of one later.

The other guys are off to Forry to film elevator adventures, and raid Josh's place for other stuff

Watch out for a blog post a bit after 10, with the full first third of our story (written by me). With any luck, Ethan will post his completed third after 2, and if you're up early, look out for the finale with Tim at 6am (though the last ep may be written by me)

OTH!
