redknob: i'd probably be eating something nice
redknob: but the cupboards are literally bare
redknob: and it's too cold to go to the shops
redknob: plus i already had 1 and a half big servings of reheated macaroni and cheese
redknob: so i've probably eaten enough for the day
Eri: hehehe
Eri: ive never eaten macroni and cheese before
redknob: i must remember to buy toilet paper tomorrow, lest we end up in an unfortunate predicament
redknob: you're missing out
redknob: it's one of those good old comfort foods
redknob: except i'm eating it as a survival food
redknob: so it seems distinctively less filling but somehow bloating
Eri: hehe yeah
redknob: in the way that only microwaved reheated pasta can
Eri: oh don't forget that toilet paper
Eri: that would suck!
redknob: yesh
redknob: it would
redknob: you know
redknob: i always have high hopes whenever i'm about to go to the supermarket
redknob: then they always come crashing down around me when i see that there's never anything that good to buy in them anyway
redknob: i keep expecting for there to be some magical awesome product you can buy
redknob: that meets the expectations of the unclear dream i have of finding something truly awesome whenever i go shopping
redknob: instead i usually end up with a vanilla malt oak
redknob: this shit is good, i should write it in my journal
rants
Whatever’s been shitting me.
Study?
It’s so hard to concentrate. My brain feels like it’s melting after reading the boring content database textbooks have within them. I think I’ll have a coffee.
Orgasms: a real ‘turn-off’ for women.
For women, it seems, sex is a big turn-off, reveals a brain scanning study. It shows that many areas of the brain switch off during the female orgasm – including those involved with emotion.
I liked the last paragraph.
Score.
Corby sentenced to 20 years in gaol. I changed it to gaol from jail.
Well, I think we all saw that coming. Bring on the next decade of appeals.
This really pissed me off, though:
Also outside the court, Glen Jeffers, a family friend, made an impassioned plea to the Indonesian president, linking the case to Australia’s tsunami aid to the country.
“We’ll continue to fight until an innocent girl is set free to live and enjoy her life,” the man said, reading from a statement.
“President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, when Indonesia was struck by the tsunami, Australia gave aid.
“Nine Australians gave the ultimate – their lives – in a helicopter crash on the island helping Indonesians.
“Australia and Indonesia have become good friends. For a friendship to grow there must be giving from both friends
“Mr President, we have seen enough innocent lives wasted in the past year. Please sir, let’s not waste another innocent life.
“All Australia asks is that you give Schapelle back to us. Schapelle is innocent.”
I don’t think I even have to explain why.
Oddly, I couldn’t find the headlines on any of my other news RSS feeds apart from the Australian Yahoo headlines. Oh well.
At least Howard got it right.
Makes you wonder how the tourism industry will go for Indonesia in the next few years. I bet there’s a lot of bitter Aussies. About 98% of the population, if you believe channel 9’s “worm”. Didn’t channel 9 broadcast the verdict, too? Geez. Then again, I suppose the ratings were sensational. Hurrah for advertising revenue.
MSACCESS.
Can fucking die.
Jesus Christ.
I finally finished most of my assignment. There’s only one thing I couldn’t get working (and one or two minor bits). Ironically enough, that was the most critical part, yet it’s only worth 1/8th of the overall mark. Big shit. That part still works, just not well. Everything else is ok, although the interface is a bit ugly.
Yes, I had to make a database for uni. I left it til the last minute because I thought we’d been given a lot more to work from than we had. Bugger.
A whole day gone for just 10% of a course. I didn’t really learn anything, either. Access has the worst fucking help system, and its interface, considering it’s a “professional” application, is even worse than the one I created.
Bleh. Whatever. I just have to show it off tomorrow and that’ll be that. I also have to get up and go to my Project Management lecture. Wowee.
I have to start going to my other lectures. It’s nearing crunch time.
Poor old Nick is snoring on the futon and the clacky keys on this keyboard are waking him up. Oh, yeah, he didn’t die. His girlfriend became ill after she had her drink spiked at the Bachelor & Spinster ball they went to on the weekend (why a couple would go to that, I don’t know). He spent an extra day up there and had no reception on his mobile. Dramatic.
My video card’s back on the purple bars again. Stupid video memory. I’d take it back and get it replaced, but I’m lazy and don’t really care. I’m kind of used to having purple/pink bars and lines all over the screen. That’s how long it’s been happening and how long I’ve put up with it. Woot.
I saw Star Wars on Tuesday night with Scott and Nick. It wasn’t bad. Quite good, really. I enjoyed it much, much more than episodes 1 and 2. Yes, I sound like everyone else who’s reviewed it. I guess that’s consensus for you. There’s one scene where Obi Wan is watching Anakin slap up Padme at the end, with his hands on his hips as he stands above the stairs coming down from the ship… Words cannot describe how hilarious his pose was. Scott and I both cracked up simultaneously, then looked at each other in the theatre, then started laughing again. It’s fun to be tainted.
Headlines.
These may require logins (get one, it’s free).
After decades of bickering, an international ecumenical body devoted to bridging the gulf between the Anglican and Catholic churches has reached a historic agreement about the role of Mary, Mother of Jesus: she is the Lord’s handmaiden and sinless, but not the source of eternal salvation.
Copyright an aberration with a limited future.
Copyright laws operate against the interests of consumers and most artists. They mostly benefit the middlemen in the music, film and publishing industries. It is these people who are directly responsible for the predominance of junk served up on the screen and over the airwaves. They seek to extend their temporary control of content and how it is distributed for as long as they can.
Gotta go to my crappy EBUS lab this morning. It’s raining pretty hard, though. Not sure if I’ll make the effort. That means I’ll have to SMS Dave and let him know and check the schedule for this lab, just in case. Fucking shit subject. Bah.

I always knew tattoos were for sell-outs.
Blargh.
Gotta start this retarded presentation. It’s only about 5 pages worth of text. Shouldn’t be too bad (famous last words), but I have to present second tomorrow. That in itself wouldn’t be too bad except for the fact that the group going before me is presenting the EXACT SAME ARTICLE. Yes, the course was structured that way. Good game.
I think I may need to make friends of a few more Caucasians to help myself!
Dad’s going to fix someone’s PC tonight. I can’t wait for the noise. I told him before hand to do it downstairs so I can maintain my SOLTITUDE! Rarr.
I think it’s “oh shit I’ll update my LJ again for once” night for a few of the peeps on my buddy list. Scintillating.
Party.
