I was wondering why I was picking up hits for The Wheels on the Bus by Mad Donna via Bartsoft - an absolutely brilliant Flash movie I came across last October. I was flicking through the TV channels and I had to do a double take, it was on as a video on MTV! This is quite difficult to get my head around, an animation I see on the web *first* *then* on TV? Wierd. 12:29:21 AM
Happy International Women's Day!
March 8th is a day for celebration so wherever in the world you are have a great time!
