What is my favorite childhood memory?
Playing in the park with my Dad… no.
Buying copious amounts of sweets from our milk bar for only a few cents… nope.
Cutting my sisters long hair ‘Edward Sissorhand’ style… very close, but not quite!
So what is my favourite memory you ask?
As a child I would wake up every morning bright and early, and walk with stealth past my parent’s to our living room just down the hallway. I would switch the television on, turn the volume dial down to zero and sit inches away from the screen mesmerized by the colourful images dancing in front of me on… Fishcam! The brainchild of Channel 31, this quality programming has entertained and amused me for years.
It is with much sorrow I have to inform you that on March 4 2007 Channel 31 retired ‘Fishcam’.

I have to admit that after this shocking programming decision by the network I didn’t think Channel 31 would have anything of quality to offer me.
I was wrong.
Let me set the scene:
At 5am this morning I was working away on some designs for a tough client. All I had to keep me company was the French electronica music blearing from my speakers (sorry neighbors), and the warm glow of the television. Frustrated with my mundane design work I looked up from my sketchpad to see the funniest sight… an ‘Aerobic Oz Style’ workout for 80 year old ladies with arthritis.
Okay, it’s not that I find the elderly funny, but watching them lift soup cans to the phat beats of electro music was incredibly humorous!
Humm… maybe it’s just because I am sleep deprived, but I would definitely recommend checking it out.
“Dooooooooo iiiiitttttttttttttt… doooooooo iiiiiittttttttt”
And when you do give into temptation (as I know you will) please call me. With the amount of homework I have to do over the next week I certainly will be awake with you laughing at those crazy Nanna’s (although this time I think I will try some classic House music, just to spice things up!).
Say “Hi” to your Grandma for me,
