COME ON BRAIN.

This is *so* not a difficult question. Social values, easy. Choir of Hard Knocks, easy. Brain, please, come back? In the next hour?

There are many ways representations in media texts can support and/or challenge social values. For a text you have studies this year analyse how a range of production and story elements are used to represent social values. (40 marks)

((Where the hell are the 40 marks anyway? Oh noes))

Spent 22-4 minutes in Riot (Camberwell) with the twins today, helping them pick stuff to make planets with. I could not believe that they had NO acrylic paint, NO brushes, NO string and NO glue at home. Dumbfounded. And because Mummy can't be bothered, they got polystyrene balls instead of experiencing the mess and JOY! that is paper mache-ing. >.< Spent the rest of the afternoon explaining that where 21-x=19, x =/= 18, and x=/=12 -not in the base-10 number system, anyhow - in betwen sorting out how to attach string with PVA to a smooth surface.

Tomorrow should be a good day. I have four boxes of LIVE! purple hair dye. I have Catch-22. I will have clean sheets. It will therefore be a good day. (And the twins will want to get their homework done because I won't let them paint planets til it is, huzzah!)

H: One grilled fish, please, and some chips

M: What kind of fish would you like, sir?

H: Grilled, PLEASE

M: We grill lots of fish, which one would you like? *motions to menu and window display*

H: GRILLED

M:*decides he is stupid, and interprests as GILLED fish* Yes, we can grill all fish except hake, and they're all gilled. *smiles*

H: *incredulous* GRILLED FISH.

M: Yes. All grilled. Which one? Flake, salmon, flathead...

We got there in the end. The long end.

Woman orders Blue Grenadier GRILLED. This is written on the docket for the cookers as B(G).

So we cook it (G). And she leaves, and comes back five minutes later as it's nearly done...

H: Is that MY fish

M: Yes

H: Where is the batter?

M: There is no batter

H: I can SEE that. I wanted batter.

M: The order was taken as Blue Grenadier GRILLED

H: Yes. But where is the BATTER.

M: There is no batter on grilled fish.

H: Well you should at least explain that to the customers first! Every other fish and chip shop I've been to batters!

M: We don't batter. We crumb. That is explained if fish is asked for battered. You asked for grilled. To grill battered fish would be messy, but considering we DON'T BATTER it would be IMPOSSIBLE.

H: I want a refund!

M: There is nothing wrong with the order, nor the product.

H: So?

ZOMG. We are not every fish and chip shop. We are freakishly expensive crmb-the-fish exotic no-batter fish and chips wither marinade for grilled gills. I know. So go and eat grilled battered BG elsewhere, because it's not here. Never has been. I have never seen it anywhere else either, but I have not been everywhere. *breathes out*
