Okayyyyyy.
Okayyyyyy.... I don't watch television and I don't really listen to commercial radio... I vaguely have internet streams that I follow, but not Facebook so sometimes I miss memes that 'everyone else' knows. But, for all that, I was quite surprised to recognise a number of things in this youtube Rewind video. I'm also very surprised to realise just how up to date Just Dance is keeping me up on popular music! But I have trouble recognising the people (I have face blindness) - anyone want to help me? I quite enjoyed the video too!

GRADS Pantomime - Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp. A Rambling Review by Alicia Smith (c) 2014

GRADS Pantomime - Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp. A Rambling Review by Alicia Smith (c) 2014
Gee, what with the disappearance of the the Theatre Australia website, I don't really have anywhere to post my theatre reviews where the cast might see them. Oh well, I'll just have to find out if there's anywhere to put it besides my usual haunts.
Tonight some of us went to see GRADS production of Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp, written by Stephen Quinn and directed by Stephen Lee. Produced by Arnold Wong who was bravely wearing a tshirt proclaiming "I wanna be a producer" on opening night. Mr Lee resplendent in a very fine tux. "The name's Lee. Stephen Lee."
This runs from December 6th to the 20th - go to http://grads.org.au/ to find out about matinees and evening shows. It's at the Playlover's Hackett Hall, in Draper Street in Floreat.
Tonight was opening night, and while there had been a performance earlier the cast had lost no energy. Very catchy songs, great delivery and new jokes for old - as well as some old jokes that, when given some special polish, emitted a genie's worth of laughs.
This is a very engaging pantomime! Oh yes it is! The Chung Wah Association has lent the production some lovely dancers to assist with our magical visit to Old Peking.
We also have several sets of engaging characters, who are being played by actors who are thoroughly enjoying themselves which add its own magic to a show.
Also a good mix of in (and out) jokes, but not overwhelming, and some very cute subtle humour in the background on occasion.
Some great dance numbers!
The heroic Aladdin is played by Melissa Kiiveri whose command of expression and earnest delivery gave us just the right impression of our hero. Her grace of movement a pleasure to watch.
Balroubadour the lovely princess was played by Grace Edwards and was fantastic. She gave us beautiful emotive speeches and a whole cadence of diction, movement and emotion.
Lovely singers both of them.
Abanazar the evil wizard was played by the indefatigable Grant Malcolm. Pantomime villains are hard to play - it requires incredible focus, energy and sensitivity to the audience feedback. You might laugh but scenery chewing is a fine art, and that's what Abanazer needed. You need to speak through the splinters of the set afterwards. 10 out of 10 on the hissometer.
Jarod Buttery played Widow Twankay for us on opening night and a finer Dame never there was - the right mix of earthy humour, pathos and the certain (and uncertain) gravitas the role requires. Again, a role which requires focus and energy and enjoyment which Jarod had in spades.
Wishee Washee, Aladdin's gormless brother was played by James Parker whose hilarious command of ineptitude takes a master's touch. Physical humour is hard. The pie stealing scene is one of the best I've ever seen.
Ping and Pong, a brother and sister police officers are played by Judd Millner and Jennifer van Den Hoek whose teamwork here make them an extremely entertaining watch with their good cop/bad cop antics and exceptional singing ability.
So Shi, the handmaiden was one of my favourite characters, straightforward, down to earth common sense and magnificent expression and body language - she hardly needed to say anything because you could just tell what she was thinking just by looking at her face. She was played by Lis Hoffmann.
The Grand Vizier's Jonathan Beckett had full command of pomp and ceremony - he reminded me of the Impressive Clergyman in The Princess Bride - very stately, and with some great lines which he really enlivened!
The Empress of China was played by Kerri Hilton and she was magnificent. Menacing, imperious and exuding power, she did not drop out of character for an instant.
And the wonderful genies of the lamp and the ring were played by Kate O'Sullivan, who was all singing all dancing and great fun to watch.
Add this to the chorus of "The children and people of Peking" - David Raeburn, George O'Doherty, Sharon Malcolm, Felix Malcolm, Eliza Malcolm, Blynis Best, Barie Beidatsch, Andre Beidatsch, Mercy Anthony, Julia Anthony, Rebekah Andrews, and Naomi Andrews all of whom gave us highly entertaining singing and dance numbers and a lot of amusing background incidents and you've got 2 hours and 15 minutes of non stop fun.
But wait, there's more! A glittering cave of magic - beautiful cave, wonderfully done! Topical references! Really beautiful costumes! A group of wonderful monsters that we are uncertain, even in a panto that Aladdin will escape! The monster scene was maybe my favourite bit. Very cute werewolf - but Dr Frankenstein, Dracula, the zombies and everyone else were great too. I don't have your names, but I loved you all.
Also not to forget Wendy Lui's super choreography of The Chinese Dancers danced by the Chung Wah Dance Group which was a real treat. Grace Chen, Evelyn Chew, Jen Nie Chong, Mona Fan, Valerie Lai, Wendy Liu, Agnes McKay, Gweneth Ng and Raeann Ng were lovely and having them was a great touch. It was a bit of a shame that they couldn't have had a bigger stage, because some of the dances felt a little bit cramped, I felt they could have stretched out a bit, but the stage wasn't quite big enough to be as extravagant as they could have been.
But they were lovely, and worked fantastically - all of the cast, particularly the dancers, within the limitations of the small stage.
Great set design, really cleverly composed - Stephen Lee is responsible for it and Jonathon Beckett put it together.
All of the production team must have been working so hard - aside from a trivial missed sound cue or two - which is nothing for opening night, nothing bad happened that I noticed. Lighting was tightly controlled and it was just magnificent.
Audience left energised and happy just as we'd been throughout the entire production.
My ribs are still hurting from laughing.
9/10 most enjoyable, and finding an actually funny joke and worthwhile prize in my Christmas cracker on the Sid and Nancy Scale.

Well, this seems interesting. Has there ever been a board game before that uses your smartphone as a playing piece? Quite unique. I hope it gets backed, I'd like to try it.

By the prickling of my thumbs, yet another Brocon comes.
By the prickling of my thumbs, yet another Brocon comes.
Brocon Bad will be held from 10am 1 January until the 4th of January. Options for New Years Eve are welcome but not currently included.
Brocon is an invite-only event, due to needing to fit everyone into our home but you are welcome to invite friends. Rob and Leece, as usual I cannot find everyone’s email addresses, could you please let
your Friday night group know they are invited?
What is Brocon?
Brocon is a gaming weekend held at Tim and Bronny's place in Brookdale, which is about two kilometres from Armadale. Amusingly, you can find us on 4Chan and Google Maps as:
- Bronny and Tim’s House of Games
and - House of Games and Fun
It is a fully catered weekend, with breakfast, lunch and dinner provided, although participants are welcome to volunteer to run a meal. The hosts will not be providing junk food, please bring your own and be prepared to share with the hoards. Soft drinks however can be created on our soda stream. Plus I have an ice-cream machine and a book full of gourmet recipes I am itching to try.
During the day, we game. Got something you want to play? Well, now is the time. By gaming, this is generally board, card or strategy but there is a Wii in the garage for other gaming. This year our theme is prohibition, illegal activities and smuggling - all games of this type have preference.
Evenings are more varied. In the past we have gamed, rock banded, disc-golfed, movies, cards and conversation. Personal preference folks. I do love a good viewing of Rare Exports to get into the Christmas spirit.
The outdoor gaming area is ready for use with wind-spinning umbrella, big table and paddle pool.
Accommodation
Contact us as soon as possible if you would like to stay overnight across Brocon, as we will need to work out where and on what you would be sleeping. Outdoors, under the stars, in the cool is a totally
valid option.If you have a swag, that would be a good addition.
Cooling
As it is summer, cooling is a consideration. It gets hot in Armadale when the doctor does not come in. If you wish to bring additional cooling units, that sounds like a good idea.
Paddle pool available for use, so if you are interested, bring your bathers.
Where are We and Transport
4 Grafham Road, Brookdale.
We have paved parking for 5 to 6 cars plus street, lawn and verge
parking.
For public transport, we are a walkable distance from the Armadale Train Station. The 250 bus stop is within a minutes walk. the 435 and 420 will cut off ten minutes of the walk, but you need to get out at the park, or you can take the 420 and get off just before the Eighth Avenue turn. Or call for a pickup, its like 2 minutes down the road, no problem.
So Are You Attending?
We would appreciate being told if you are coming and when, so that we can ensure that the meals are correctly planned. If you have allergies, particular dislikes (e.g. capsicum) or am vegetarian,please let us know.
We have two lovely callings, Bruno the Great and Movember the Fifth. While you will see Bruno, please ignore Mo as he runs from you in a panically run.
We look forward to seeing you

Celebrity chef Matthew Evans has a new series on SBS called "What's the Catch":
"Imagine a menu that offered ‘mammal and root vegetable’, or ‘bird and green leaf’.
It would be considered ridiculous.
But when it comes to seafood, you can simply write ‘fish’ on a menu in Australia, without much of a problem. So long as it is fish (and not mammal, or bird), then it’s okay, under current legislation, to not say exactly which fish it is.
It’s time for reform.
We need to stop allowing seafood to be described in obscure, obfuscating, or misleading terms and provide consumers with what they deserve – clear and accurate seafood labelling. What we really need, is to know just what’s on our plates. Only then can we make decisions about what we put in our mouths, and what our actions may have on the seas that provide for our tables."
When I'm looking at seafood I want to know so I can make an informed choice to help with maintaining a sustainable ocean.
1 What species of fish it is
2 Where it is from
3 How it was caught or farmed
http://labelmyfish.com to sign a petition asking for these changes.
Something's wrong with it though... I can't get it to show my country.
Or indeed, anyone's country. Let me know if you have more success.

Notes:
Notes:
Negotiations on the Pequod started a bit muddy. Captain Ahab believes that the captain of the 'Nautilus' is doing a good thing keeping people away from Neverisle. Especially the likes of Captain Hook! But that was until Captain Ahab noticed something about one of the PC's and then couldn't get them off his ship fast enough. Sent them off with his bosun to help.
Thumps in a locked cabin on the Pequod are not investigated fully.
Meanwhile, Moby Dick scratches its back with the Jolly Roger II and Captain James goes down to the hold to shout at it. One player discovers there's some bones in the clockwork of the ship's mechanism but it's not clear what they are. Quite small bones, anyway.
The fearless players return, having shown remarkable restraint in not breaking into any of the cabins on the Pequod. It seems that the bosun from the Pequod may have located the "Nautilus", which has been responsible for the blockade of Neverisle. In the distance, looming cumulus on the horizon.
The Pequod's bosun, Fedallah used a silver divining bowl and ink, and has accents and speech similar to the Persian gentlemen encountered in Marseilles.
The Jolly Roger II turns to starboard sharply and with definite purpose.
