Captain Robot.
Have you ever woken up and discovered you had a cardboard box for a head?
I sure have! In fact, that happened this morning. Luckily, as Captain Starlight I didn’t need to be sad, I just used my imagination, and with a little help from some glitter and a sticker, I became... CAPTAIN ROBOT!!
What are Captain Robot's special abilities I hear you ask? What aren’t her abilities is more like it! She can read minds. True fact. AND do the robot. And the Robo-Boogie. And sing songs about other Robots. And... well that’s about it, but hey, MIND READING! Am I right?
SO, next time you wake up with a box on your head, don’t despair... ROBOT!
A busy day traveling through time and space for Captain Neon andCaptain Excitable!
The day started with a casual trip back in time- or so the Captains thought! The time they had traveled back to was a time without super heroes! But luckily for the Captains they met the ultimate man of mystery …
He provided the Captains with the most full proof disguises ever invented; finger mustaches. Thanks to the man of mystery, also known as pshhff the Captains managed to make it back to their time travel machine undetected. Unfortunately though, Captain Excitable accidentally spilt her double shout slug latte all over the control board and it short circuited sending the Captains far into the future! They arrived at a strange place in a strange time. Greeting them in a puff of smoke was Ya-Man a friendly green alien who had just moved to earth. Ya-Man told the Captains that they had just arrived at his wedding but before the Captains could run over and eat some delicious alien wedding cake. Ya-Man broke the news that the wedding was to be cancelled because he and his fiancé Ya-Mamm had no one to marry them. But luckily the Captain Neon came to the rescue and the day ended in a alien wedding.

Virgin Airlines - You Rock!
With the Starlight Express Room doors closed for the day, our new friends joined Captain Starlight, Commander Ken and allround top Starlighter, Nicola, after hours for a decorating fest. There were lots of laughs, chatter and of course decorating to help us shift into time and space. A big thanks to the crew from Virgin, we enjoyed your bubbly personalities and the work you did to help create our theme. Signing off
Diary Entry 1: Truth and Lyres
Today began like any regular day. The martians stopped me and checked my magic cargo and I landed an easy park on top of Telstra Tower. I waited for Captain Giggles to arrive but she was no where to be found. Suddenly our time vortex started to shake and Captain Giggles stepped through it. She had chickens pecking at her feet, a leg of lamb in one hand and a lyre. Where had she been?
Apparently she had just visited the 13th century and been gifted, because of her wizardry, a beautiful lyre. So, what did we do with this wonderous instrument … well we visited all the children in the hospital and played sweet lullabys for them, of course. Katie Pie, Saba and Tyson Hicks particularly loved listening to the lyre and Katie even demonstrated her mastery of the instrument by playing the stroking song. Thanks for another wonderous day Captain Giggles … I might have to give this time vortex a go and see where it takes me …

P.S. Captain America also stepped through the time vortex … apparently he typed in the wrong code.
Get on your feet!!!
That was the only thing to do when the Cavendish Road High School Dance Troupe stomped through the Circus of Dreams at the Mater last Sunday. A collection of 30 kids from grades 8-12 dazzled and delighted their lucky audience who clapped and danced along with them.
There was no doubt that Daria made an impression, who knows they might be looking at a new dance crew member! The event wrapped up with a big dance circle welcoming anyone to join in the fun. That was all Captain Giggles needed to put her dancing shoes to good use. After a good dance break and attempt at the worm it was time for Captain Giggles to leave the dancing to the professionals.
Thanks Cavendish Road Dance Troupe for bringing the groove and funk to us!
Over and out,

Step 1: Look in the mirror.
Step 2: Is it actually a mirror or someone who looks heaps like you?
If YES - Congratulations! You have a twin!
