How can anyone watch the news?!
More importantly, how can anyone watch the news and take it seriously anymore? Channel Ten seems to me to be blatantly biased towards Bush and Howard and against protesters and the like, Channel Nine shows things I don't think they should be allowed to, and Channel Seven mentioned the "female drivers" of two cars in an accident 6 times while I was watching it. If the drivers had been guys, would they have stressed the "male" part? I don't think so. I thought the news was supposed to be impartial. I couldn't watch anymore, particularly not after the "human interest" story about a little Iraqi boy who had his arms blown off and became the "symbol of civilian casualties." I know people need to feel sorry for and individual to understand the plight of the society, but I really think that's exploitative and unfair. Leave the poor kid alone.
I'm actually in a pretty shitty mood. My day wasn't too bad, I got up for my Written Jap tute and found out I've failed 3 assignments coz I didn't know about them. Then I picked up my film assignment and picked up another Written Jap assignment. Okay, you can talk about how something affects someone, and not effects them, right?! My tutor said it was a spelling error, which I though was rather unfair. I saw T&N for a bit. I was actually feeling kinda weird. I'm almost finished the very long twisted complex LotR story. Moving on, I then saw Anna, and we talked about Harry Potter and questions for our Anth tute sitting on the grass outside the room where I was supposed to be attending a lecture. Oops. Bumped into T&N again, then went to tute, which was fun coz we discussed witchcraft. My sister is having her budgie-obsessed friend over for the night, so we played cards and happy families for a bit. I've had The Jabberwocky (yes, the poem) stuck in my head all day, which is driving me mad. It's a bloody POEM!!! *grr* I watched the end of Survivor. Most of the contestant this time around just seem...wimpier. I don't like many of them much, and one of the few I do like was voted off tonight.
Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll.
Twas brillig and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch
Beware the Jubjub bird and shun
the frumious Bandersnatch."
He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood a while in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame
Cam whiffling through the tulgey wood
And burbled as it came.
One, two! One, two! And through and through,
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack
He left it dead, and with its head
He went gallumphing back.
"And has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Just remembered, I was also insulted today, which kinda upset me. I'd gotten used to pretty much everything being accepted, now that I'm out of high school, you know? I used to get this sort of thing all the time, but I just found it surprising now.
"GQ- are you straight, gay, bi or curious? Just want to know as having read your fic you appear to have an obsession with projecting homosexual activity onto straight men, which IMO is a pretty whack and desperate way to get ones jollies."
Make of it what you will.
Link of the day is Angel Gal's blog, another friend of mine from the Bronze now signed up with Xanga. She's a Harry Potter fan, too.
Pics of the day--no icons, but a cute James Marsters/Nick Brendon pic (I love the caption) and a cute pic of the HP trio I picked up. Only 65 days!!! *excited* More of quebrante below too.
