Scandalous!

I came online especially to watch See Hear on BBC iPlayer, but it turns out there wasn't an episode broadcast this week. Scandalous if you ask me.

Instead of watching that, I'm listening to the animal sounds that I edited yesterday for my friend to use with her deaf daughter (who I may as well introduce as Angie and Mary). Most of the noises are downright awful. The donkey sounds like an asthma sufferer, the camel and the seal both seem to make rude noises! The whale is rather nice though...might have that on repeat soon! :)

I watched Wicked today- a programme for deaf people about deaf people by deaf people (does that make sense?) It featured a deaf wrestler and, without intending to be rude, I thought it was laughable! All the 'moves' were clearly fake and the wrestlers screwed up their faces in extreme pain although they were merely poked by their opponent.

I actually know one of the presenters of Wicked, however I regret to write that I've mislaid his e-mail address and it's unlikely I'll be in touch with him anytime soon. He lived in Cambridge, which isn't far from where I live and then he moved to Birmingham, which isn't far from where I'm going to Uni, but he currently lives in London. It'll be equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack at this rate! Who knows, we may bump into each other at some deaf event in the future.

Anyways...enough waffle! :)

  1. Yes Scandalous. I recorded the Budget. Apparently the state of the economy is more important this week.
