Of the good:

- pursuant to previous entry I went and purchased GK #32, like, an actual paper copy. ♥ have read it about fifty times.

- meeting blythely on Wednesday, which was heaps of fun & I'm afraid I blabbed rather a lot. :P

- I have a strict policy of no fucking dieting in exam time, and I am currently digging chocolate chip cookies in a major, major way. Tonight me and the flatmates had some disgusting dinner with steak and chips followed by jellybeans followed by peanut slabs followed by ICE-CREAM SANDWICHES. cookies + icecream = finger lickin' good!

- two exams and one majormajor portfolio down, one exam to go! \o/

- Psych, which I ran through recently and really enjoyed. Where's the Shawn/Lassiter? It must be out there...

- the ability to function on three-to-four hours of sleep - I love this about myself - life is so much easier when you can fall asleep at 3:30 and still get up at 7:30.

Of the bad:

- the latest shit John Howard is crapping all over the Aborigines, including: a six month alcohol ban, seizing control of indigenous territories for five years, "quarantining" the welfare (telling people what and how they can spend it) - I just cannot deal with this man - aussies, you're our neighbours and you make us look bad. This is unbelievable.

- the weather. SOCOLD. I couldn't get to sleep last night because my toes were cold.

Of the weird:

- Sue Bradford's latest bill: to drop the voting age to sixteen. I am all for youth rights and all, but I think there are more pressing issues: how about changing the benefit restrictions so under-25s aren't treated like dependents and paid accordingly?

Gotta say though, I don't really like the self-congratulatory "wow, aren't we New Zealanders awesome for not being that racist" trope that's been doing the rounds.

Sure. I would like to see a lot more definitive condemnation from, for example, the government, and I agree that self-congratulatory is not the mode we should really be in especially since orewa.
