Well today sucked slightly.
I was up at 7.45am (quite early for me!) to be ready for phone calls and refreshes to try and get tickets for the Bjrk show at the Sydney Opera House. As hard as I tried, I could not even get one ticket! It's like it sold out instantaneously!
I kept trying until after 9.00, but eventually had to pack it...

Bjrk is playing the Sydney Opera House on 28 January. I wouldn't have known this in time if it weren't for Malana so I am in her debt for letting me know.
I am going, to hell with the cost. Tickets go on sale this Friday.
Also, I am so excited. And it'll be nice to visit Sydney.
ALSO, HOLY SHIT! I'm (hopefully) gonna see...

Can't wait to be obnoxiously drunk and wearing funny clothes with you this weekend.

Woooo!
I might be irritating my friends by banging on about all this environmental and socialist democratic stuff.
Sorry, folks.
I promise I'll wind it down eventually. Just make sure you recycle, ok?

A combination of events have put into me this idea of no longer being apathetic about important issues.
The Federal Election, naturally, is one of those events.
But also, I've just watched Michael Moore's Sicko and Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth on two subsequent evenings.
It's stuck a fire under me and I feel more impassioned to do something about it.
Something else that's been...

Uh... I'm still right if I'm referring to anywhere apart from North America. And, usually, I am, aren't I?
I'm going with my original statement. When in Australia, Ketchup is Tomato Sauce, it's as simple as that. It's not patriotic, it's just the way things are. Go and tell a Chinese person that they're actually speaking 'Chinese,' and see how far it gets you.
My point is, and always has been: every time our world becomes globalised the corporate giants take a little bit more shine off the fantastic differences in cultures around the world. Every time you call it ketchup you're kissing the joy of travelling goodbye.

Dude, I'm fighting the good fight, my way. Didn't you see the colours flying proudly in my blog post?
I'm hitting them where it hurts the best that I can. G.W.B. has already proven that losing an election means sweet F.A.. And what are our choices, really? The Greens aren't going to seize power (not without a coup, anyway) so our choices are Conservative A or Conservative B.
Wow, real option for change there!
Just because I don't chose to fight your way, doesn't mean I'm not fighting at all. I'm apathetic about the current system, not about change (REAL change that is).

1. Vote Greens.
Please. It's for the best.
2. Not a very productive day, today.
Not sure why. Dad quit his job and came home at lunch time, only to be rehired to another one by the end of the day. But he was still stomping around the house which ... I dunno ... makes me nervous.
I guess I did get a few...

Definitely having a better day today than yesterday.
It's hardly perfect but it's a definite improvement.
Now if only the weather were a little cooler.
EDIT: Ask and you shall receive! 90 minutes since original post and it's started raining. Thank you Internet Jesus!

Welllll, I don't remember much, just enough to say "Jeg kan snakke en lille smulle Dansk. Jeg har glemt mange ords". Which is basically "I can speak a tiny bit of Danish. I have forgotten many words" !! 
But when I watch something on SBS I can usually recognise most of it.
Who is this Internet Jesus you praise? Intrigued, I am.

Congrats on the interview. Pity it's not on Wednesday, you'd be in time for Dum Viva Disco.
Do you have me blocked on msn?

I must've woken up on the wrong side of the metaphorical bed this morning: I've been stomping about intolerant of everything around me all day.
I find it easy to spot something negative in everything today. Arcade Fire and Bjrk are both playing at BDO in January but I hate festivals and $125+BF sounds outrageous to me.
I'm hating everyone that doesn't recycle or conserve...

All it takes for me to hate everything and everyone is a bad night's sleep - and going to work.

Im no fan of festivals myself..hell i dont like 95% of the music most people on here seem to dig.Its true what you say,if you spend enough time in crappy environs it starts to rub of. For me the difficult part is all my old friends-people i have known for 30+ years are directly opposite me in almost all aspects of life,the only thing we have in common now days is a love of science fiction-but how do you drop 30 yrs of friendship..you cant,so i just grit my teeth and bare it
Hope your situation resolves itself quick smart and you get to relax & live in a cool house

For the past week I've been living at Tez/Goldfish/Dah/Rook's new place for the past week as I help them move in and organise stuff. It's been nice.
Apart from last night when I had to get an assignment done. I wasn't really happy with it but it will do. I have another due at 8am on Monday morning...

Just a couple of things right now... let's see:
This is definitely my favourite link of the past few days: A LETTER TO OPTIMUS PRIME FROM HIS GEICO AUTO INSURANCE AGENT.

About to sit down and watch.
So. Very. Excited!
Sorry to hear about the tickets selling out. That is going to be one amazing show.
Sorry, that isn't me rubbing it in. Just making an observation as a fan.
Thank you for the comment about my hair.
It's looking pretty craptastic. But eh.
