Star Wars and discipline.

So up until now I have never seen Star Wars. Didn't know what it was about and just assumed I wasn't going to like it. Prior to watching the movies this is what light sabers were in my mind:

"They're just glow sticks", I told my boyfriend, who at this stage was more shocked than learning that I had never seen it. (Keeping in mind that he is a huge Star Wars fan) Seeing as I thought it was a glow stick...this is how I imagined the moment when Darth Vader reveals to Luke Skywallker that he is his father...

 
You can imagine the look on Jason's face now...

Long before he forced me to watch Star Wars, we were having a fun conversation about how we would discipline our kids. Jason mentions that he wishes to buy light sabres of different sizes to discipline them if they misbehaved or didn't get a 100% in an exam. Why different sizes..

 

and of course who could forget the red light saber..

At the time this was hilarious and ridiculous. My children will end up fearing Star Wars and have crazy father. But I did not realise the seriousness of the light saber until I finally watched Star Wars. My poor...dead...children.

There were things I also found disappointing; like princess Leia in her gold bikini. Thanks to Friends(the tv show) even I know about her gold bikini. But how it played out in the movie was not how I imagined. For example I thought she would wear that bikini for a love interest or so(maybe it's just the romantic in me). Instead she was forced to wear it for the likes of him...

Of course this is because she became a slave..BUT STILL! It is so utterly unglamorous.

And the final thing that I found strange(Keeping in mind I watched it chronologically from 1-3 then 4-6) was Yoda's voice in 4 - 6. Why on earth does he sound like cookie monster?! 

Nevertheless Star Wars was hard to fault. A little predictable but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. 

So I leave this post with a picture I sketched during the week...

Because clever goose only drinks out of a cup and saucer.

A new beginning.

Hi everyone! I just thought that it was time to start a new blog because I became uninspired with my last one. I think this blog is just a place that I can rant and post up random things that I find entertaining/interesting or just stupid.

Why clever goose? -Goose because that is what Jason calls me. Embarrassing as this may sound it really started to catch on. So much so that after having to do a 'corporate identity' assignment I decided that the word goose had to be included. Geese are clumsy, loud and silly - all qualities that I happen to have. But...

Why clever? Because my corporate identity assignment needed to have something contradictory/inviting to it. Bitches can't just live with goose. Thinking that it was an awesome idea...here we are!

A post from Nini won't be complete with some sort of rant. So here goes the beginning of many. A couple of weeks ago Jase and I went to the Royal Easter Show. We haven't been there for a couple of years and as soon as we arrived we remembered why. Those damn mothers with their damn prams!

We really questioned the motive of these mothers and their prams. If your kid is sooo tiny that it has to be in a pram then the chances of it understanding what is going on at the Easter Show is probably low. And if your kid is a toddler and can walk..why is it on a pram anyway?! MAKE THE KID WALK. So I understand that you want your kids to have fun and give them the best experiences that you can possible offer but...why would you bring this huge monster like thing to a crowded place like the Easter show. I probably won't understand until I'm a parent. 

Apart from the prams, the Easter Show was pretty damn fun with those psycho shows, animals, rides and what not. So I leave you with this tonight...what made the easter show this year especially memorable was when we discovered this...

A GOOSE! Not expecting to see a goose that day, my boyfriend so cleverly stated that it was like "two geese reuniting"...the other goose being me. (tears streaming down my face at this point) I took a gazillion photos of them for no good reason. I dare you to ask me to show you sometime. 

Glad to be posting again. Goodnight everyone!
