I began by asking my family to give me random numbers before using these to set timers according to different combinations of those numbers. We then played Bananagrams, a word creating and reshuffling game similar to Scrabble. When the timers went off I recorded the most recent word which was played. The words were; Bad, Fir, Hats, Hires, Lunatic, Meek, Perks, Quart, Sanitation, Toot, Vampire, Web and Wove.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While deciding how to pick from the words I wrote some sentences with the words.<\/p>\n

Bad Fir\/Fur Hats for Hire, sold by a Lunatic of Meek Perks, wearing a Quart watch, obsessed with proper Sanitation, Toots his own horn, possibly a Vampire? His Fur Hats Web being Woven.<\/p>\n

Hire a Lunatic for a Meek Week.<\/p>\n

The Perks of Quart don’t outweigh the length Sanitation process required to Toot them into outer space to be eaten by an enormous Vampire pig.<\/p>\n

The Vampire admired the spiders Web, he later that night wove a tapestry about cynicism.<\/p>\n\nhttp:\/\/blogs.unsw.edu.au\/clic\/files\/2019\/01\/New-Recording.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\nhttp:\/\/blogs.unsw.edu.au\/clic\/files\/2019\/01\/New-Recording-2-1.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n

After that I blind folded myself and chose the word “Fir\/Fur” by randomly attempting to hit a word.<\/p>\n
