Watch this hilarious spoof video of magician David Blaine starring Mitch Silpa (as David Blaine) and Mikey Day and Michael Naughton (as the two idiots). I guarantee you will get a laugh out of this!
I discovered David Blaine Street Magic 2 on the Funny or Die website and wanted to share it with you. If you like it make sure to check out the first video. Just a warning before you start, there is swearing in this video.
Blog Action Day – bloggers getting together to create a better world.
Earlier this year, Sydney was plunged into darkness for Earth Hour. Over two million residents participated in Earth Hour and lights were switched off all over the city. Statistics provided by Earth Hour show that the energy usage in Sydney’s CBD dropped 10.2% for just that one hour. That is equal to a taking 48,613 cars off the road for the same amount of time.
Imagine if every major city in Australia participated in Earth Hour? Imagine if every major city on the world participated? Imagine if Earth Hour took place twice a year? And why not? Sydneysiders had a great time viewing the blackness of the nightsky and stargazing. There was almost a party atmosphere that night. Although, Sydneysiders do come out to play at the drop of an anchor…
Of course, Earth Hour doesn’t happen everyday, so what can we do to help make a difference to our environment?
How about a worm farm?
Inspired by Earth Hour, I revisited my environmental side and set up my worm farm again – it had been packed up since I moved a few years ago. It’s now a thriving little ecosystem filled with all sorts of leftovers from the kitchen. Plus, the “worm wee” does wonders for the garden.
Worm farms don’t take much effort. All you need is a backyard or balcony. You’ll soon realise that much of the rubbish you throw out can be recycled back into your garden, via the worms.
Is driving everyday essential?
I drive to work everyday. I can’t help it. It takes me 45 minutes to drive compared to a two hour, two train and a busn ride epic journey. I was car-pooling with a friend from work but she has since moved. We started car-pooling due to the outrageous skyrocketing of the price of petrol and we found that we also had a great time on our ‘roadtrips’ each day.
So, I have to drive to work. But I walk when I can. If I have to pop out to get some milk or go to the video shop, or if I’m getting take-out for dinner, I walk. This weekend I didn’t have to drive at all. I walked and took the train. Unfortunately this doesn’t happen every weekend, but I try to leave the car at home on weekends when I can.
Things we can all do

I just bought a Gorillapod Tripod for my digital camera and I have to say it is one of the best camera accessories I have bought. This tripod is so much fun to use – I’ve been bending it around chairs and posts, the window sill, table legs…I can’t wait to take it out this weekend and see what weird and wonderful things I can suspend it from.
It works as a regular tripod, but it has these flexible tripod legs that can be twisted and turned to grip onto any number of things.
I read about these tripods a while ago. Today I was walking through the local shopping centre where I passed by a camera shop and saw one in the front window, just crying out to be bought.
The Joby website says
“…it is the only tripod malleable enough to provide you with the perfect shot while wrapped around a tree branch, ranging from a pole, or perched on a jagged rock. The possibilities are endless!”
Is this true, I wonder?
UPDATE 7 November: So far I have found this to be an excellent tripod – make sure you add one to your Christmas wish list!
I was on a walk around the bay at King George Park the other day and couldn’t believe my eyes when I came across an elephant in a tree.
He didn’t make a noise or move a muscle but, on closer inspection, I can confirm it was an elephant.
