Tomorrow, I'm doing a quiz themed around Disney+'s Zenimation just for those who are still isolating because of Covid, and want to engage in mindfulness activities to feel calm. Watching Zenimation doesn't just promote calm time among families watching, it also promotes social emotional wellbeing, allowing viewers to look carefully at how characters like Elsa, Moana, Simba, Baymax and Tramp are all feeling, and what they can see through each silent image featured in each short. If you can't access my blog, then try these emotional wellbeing activities. They're as much fun as the images shown in the episodes 'Levity' and 'Everyday Comforts' - think the Mystic Springs Oasis and all the naked animals, or Winnie The Pooh throwing away a small bowl to have all the honey featured in the huge pot he won for finding Eeyore's tail!

The Happiness Project - 2021 - 30.8.21
The new soundtrack to the Zenimations ep Locales.
I was so lost in Zenimation I made an alternate soundtrack to the show on my phone.
One Line A Day - 2021 - 30.8.21
I did a story about parenting named I.B.F.Fs: A Day With Aunt Trixie and made a Zenimation-related alternate soundtrack playlist on my phone.
Lilianova Hamptonovich
Lily's dead, ladies and gentlemen, but a new girl has taken her place: Lilianova Hamptonovich, a Russian foreign exchange student! Why couldn't Mr. Smith just slapped her in the face and killed her? And why didn't Frankie and Seb embrace Lily when she broke out of character? Some things need to be improved...
Saturday Mash Up - With Team GB & Slime
Saturday Mash Up is back! Even though I missed the episode last Saturday, there's lots in store on last week's show. We meet two spiders who live above the set, Stanley forces guests to eat crackers and drink water while engaging in conversation with him, there's a new game called Showeroke where kids and their parents sing lyrics to familiar song, Slime O'Clock News is replaced with Slime & Punishment, and best of all, Ninja Express airs as the first cartoon instead of Boy Girl Dog Cat Mouse Cheese! Woohoo! Remember, feel free to skip the Boy Girl Dog Cat Mouse Cheese bits.
The Zenimation Experience Playlist
This morning, I showed Mum and Grandma two new Zenimation combinations - the episode 'Discovery' with the song 'A Better Son/Daughter' by Rilo Kiley, and the episode 'Everyday Comforts' with 'Everything Has Changed' by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. To my surprise, those two songs fitted well with these episodes, especially when Swift and Sheeran's vocals and music matched Rabbit picking carrots in his garden. Even though 'A Better Son/Daughter', which was heard in the trailer for 'Orange Is The New Black', has two instances of strong language, I still think it makes a good fit for clips of Baymax, Simba, Elsa, Anna, Bolt and Aladdin, especially the beginning lyric 'Sometimes in the morning, I am petrified and can't move' which goes well with the first clip of Baymax making his way across the room to introduce himself to Hiro.



I am so fond of my new experiment that I created a playlist on my phone, which includes:
- Hoppipolla - Water
- Drifting Away - Cityscapes
- A Better Son/Daughter - Discovery
- Wings Of An Eagle - Flight
- Speck Of Gold - Explore
- Fade To Black - Night
- What A Wonderful World - Nature
- To Build A Home - Serenity
- The Sea - Water Realms
- Birdhouse In Your Soul - Levity
- Waterfalls - Rain
- Everything Has Changed - Everyday Comforts
- One Day - Natural Wonders
- Changes - Transformation
- Only Love - Waterways
- Dynamite - Kindness
- Pavane For A Dead Princess - Snowscapes
I've yet to choose a song for Locales.
What Happened To An Innocent Adventure Camp?
Pontins has been receiving a lot of complaints from holidaymakers lately. Pontins is becoming a run-down, stinky old place where people argue and fight and do the wrong things, and we see no sign of the frog, ostrich, zebra and monkey. This Pontins is different to what I saw in brochures - a lively and fun adventure turning into a stinky old dump. These articles from these news websites will prove it to you, I swear.
It's A Shame...
Recently, a Bluey board game has sparked outrage among Australian families. I love Bluey, but it's a shame to see something so challenging recieve so many complaints from parents and kids alike. Here, have a look:
I.B.F.Fs: A Day With Aunt Trixie
Aunt Trixie comes to babysit me while the rest of the family are out. From there, I ask her a lot of questions about life looking after Muffin and Socks, and even encourage her to go on the swings on a trip to the park, exhausting her as much as a babysitter gets exhausted looking after a kid!
The Return Of Me, You, And Sonic X & I.B.F.F Diaries '20 Apology
Due to concerns of spending time with my folks in the morning, I couldn't do The Return Of Me, You, And Sonic X, but to make up for it, what I can show you it a Japanese spot for Sonic Heroes featuring a young boy admiring Sonic, Tails and Knuckles like Furaha does.
The same goes to I.B.F.F Diaries '20, which I couldn't due to false accusations and more time spent with my folks. To make up for it, here's a song I went crazy for when Vanity Calamity premiered on CBBC last October, and I thought made a good match with the episode - Hot Tub Of Love, AKA Hot Spa Of Love.
