The tv out here kinda exploded this afternoon. Well, a little explosion/pop, the screen and the little green power light disappeared, and there was a smell.
Called dad to find out where the spare little tv was (he's up Coonabarabran with my sister for 5 days). Much better little tv except for the fact the speakers are on the side.
The other tv served us well. Walls have been bending on it for a while and the remote was a pain in the arse (try to turn up the volume and it would often go to the sleep timer instead). I think the munchkin coroner needs to pronounce.

Marked 15 essays today, though most of them tonight. Need to get over the daytime laziness. 46 to go.
Am amused that a student who's struggling with English as a second language knows how to use possessives while so many native speakers can't.

Have been naughty on ebay lately. A scrapbook of Margaret O'Brien clippings (many dating back to the 1940s) arrived today. Spent too much, but I so love her.

I had a weird flashback when I saw Coonabarabran. Do you remember that Coon ad that they showed years ago listing all the 'Coon' towns you could eat the cheese in?

Kinda recall the ad.
They hit a kangaroo tonight, both survived.

The most important thing is did the car surive the encounter?

Dad had put these whistle things on the car that are supposed to keep roos away...but maybe they only work at high speed.

The Munchkin coroner just wrote a book. CNN had a feature the other day.
And non-native speakers actually have more of a grammatical background for the tricky things like possessives.
