Syriana

I saw Syriana with Dad and my sister today. I rode over to Dad’s then we rode across the city through peak hour to my sis’ house.

Really .. really good movie. Very emotional. Very thought provoking. It was just a really smart movie. They don’t come around too often and you really need them. Stimulates the brain. Makes you think. Thank you thank you film makers for being great.

It’s also so relieving to watch a movie that doesn’t shy away from political issues for a change. Usually they dumb them down, cut out the controversy. Thus making them offensive to my intelligence. They end up loaded with racism, sexism, patriotism and propoganda.
I never used to like George Clooney, but he keep being in lots of really good movies. He’s endeared me.

Drunk people are boring

I wandered down to the noise a cover band was making tonight, thought I’d sit around awhile and pretend I’m involved. They were pretty ordinary. They were okay when they did good stuff, but they had ordinary taste in music. So did the crowd however.

I overheard some first year bogans talking about how they couldn’t remember anything from their previous night of drunken stupidity.

Some 17 year old girl came up and pretended to be friendly. I’m not sure why she chose me, maybe she thought I needed a friend or something. Black coats and hoods have a bad reputation for people. She had her boyfriend with her, I don’t know what she was doing. It seemed like she was determined to mingle and make some friends (good for her), but it really seemed like she wanted her boyfriend to be jealous too. Bonus I guess.

Then the band finished their very ordinary song and announced an intermission, I took the oportunity to escape.

Daria

Been watching episodes of Daria that I got off DC, unfortunately they are in very low quality real media format. Anyways..

Australian Ballet in Sleeping Beauty

I like this image so much I wanted to keep it here, in case the Australian Ballet website takes it down.

Bob Dylan

Been listening to Bob Dylan lately, from the soundtrack of No Direction Home.

I like this old stuff a lot. I don’t really know what his new stuff is like but I’d like to hear it.

Masters of War - Bob Dylan

not sure

Well I’ve moved, things are good at my new room.

I’m very eager to get started back with classes, so I get things over and done with.

People in all the colleges use DC to share about 4 terrabytes of data across the uni network. at 100 mips that’s pretty useful. I finally got to watch the battlestar galactica pilot.

Started reading Dune, I can hardly remember a thing from it. It’s still just as interesting.

Ballet has started again.
