Will of Jules

yeah, i was looking at the pictures of statues i had but most of them were to do with gallipoli and stuff so i had to use this one as it was the only one i had that was post world war ii being the vietnam war.

Okay, we have to sort this out.

I’ll go first, and introduce our question and our thesis.  I’ll make sure my powerpoint/video/whatever takes that into account. Jules will go second, because he won’t read this, and it means he won’t have to do anything special. Ru will go last, and should make a conclusion thing at the end.

Also, Ru, make sure to use some pictures you took in Canberra, cos I won’t be able to cos they’re not relevant to what I’m doing.
So yeah.

God, I hate edublogs. 

hey kiddies, do you guess have the arrangment of who is going to present first and stuffs???  and marlenaman, is your video going to be on first or second?? So yeah but you will probably not read this so nevermind…

Okay, so I pretty much can’t do a video game…
because the Australian games industry (lol) is a joke.  See?  I just typed it and I laughed.

Australian games industry.
lolololol

So yeah, no games are, like, about Australia and stuff at all cos we basically suck pretty hard and no-one cares about us.  Well, I can see why really.
Arrrgh being Australian is so annoying.
I really dislike studying about it.

But hey, it doesn’t matter because we all have texts now!  I’m doing propaganda cartoons from the cold war, like the ones we’ve done in history, Jules is doing the girl in the picture photo we studied in English, and Ru is doing the statues we saw in Canberra.

Plus, Ru is making a flash for the presentation and I’m going to do a montage video, with some music and other cool stuff.

So, um, I think we’ve pretty much covered everything.
This is actually going to be a pretty cool presentation!

Also, wow, I keep skipping two lines when I only mean to skip one. So edublogs basically sucks.  Also, I hate how when you log on, it gives you the big edublogs home page with just this little bit of info on you, instead of just automatlically showing your dashboard.  It’s like, yeah, I already have a blog, you don’t have to be like
“YEAH JOIN EDUBLOGS GET A FREE BLOG TODAY DO YOU WANT TO BROWSE BLOGS OR WHATEVER WELL NO YOU CAN’T DO THAT GET A BLOG DAMMIT HEY EDUBLOGS IS COOL VECOME A SUPPORTER TODAY OH WHAT’S THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO WELL TOO BAD” or something along those lines.  Also, I hate how you can only post from your dashboard, instead of going onto your blog like a normal, non-retarded person.

So yeah.

SO like, im in class doing work but i cant get much done cause you guys are in duke of ed camp (which means marlenas been spending two nights in the same tent as annie feng XD) we still dont have like an idea for a presentation method thing so we got to sort that out as it is due on thursday.

Hey, can i use that monk burning himself alive picture for the assignment to show how he felt the vietnam war was and like how he resented it so like he burnt himself alive. is that somewhat relevent???

it shows what war does to people…. its like related to post world war two right??? i dont know…

Okay, so we’re each going to anylise our text, and talk about how it answers the question etc. etc.

Jules is doing a painting and ru is doing photography, so I think I’ll do a video game. Because, like, no-one else will, and then I can talk about interactivity aspect, music, visuals etc.
It’s like a movie but more.

Basically, there’ll be a lot of stuff to talk about. Also, there are a lot of war games. So yeah, I’m not sure which one I’ll do, I’ll think about it. Something that is popular and well known, and has a lot of moral content, or something along those lines.

Also, we have to think about what we’ll do for our multimedia presentation. Jules isn’t really interested in this bit, I don’t think, but that’s okay cos he’ll probably do a really good analysis. So me and ru will do it. She’ll probably do a flash, so I might as well, and we’ll do one big one, or I’ll do something complementary, like an awesome poster, or a short viseo, cos I’ll need gameplay videos as well as stills.

You know Annie and Liam and Adrienne’s blog got their header replaced by some other random one from someone else that had nothing to do anything. And it’s bad. That happened to ours too. It’s because of some glitch in edublogs.
Like, have you noticed that I really hate edublogs? It sucks. Like, it really sucks.

RRRRAAARRRGGHH I AM RAEG

The thing is, all the images i posted on the blog doesnt work as i used photobucket but photobucket is blocked by the school so you cannot see the awesome images on the blog while you access it on the school computers but you probably will not even go on the blog.

Just now, when i went to check the blog, the header had changed into this:

Did any of you change the header or is this a glitch in the system?  Because this is not a very attractive banner….
