This thing is stupid. What if i don't want a title?
I finally have some stuff to mention!
Finished Uni for the year today, with a lovely exam on Ciceronian Rome - last exams are always such fun, because i am usually past caring so just relax, take off my shoes, write a bit, sneeze and cough and annoy everybody else, then leave and make it to the bus stop before the mass exodus has occurred!
The other great thing at the moment - Cricket! What great timing, to finish my exams and suddenly have nothing to do when, out of the blue (well, the 'Gabba, actually), the first Ashes test just happens to be on! Which reminds me, i must go out and buy a small radio to take on beach mission so that i can listen to the 5th test, though by the looks of things it won't be coming down to the 5th! While one can never underestimate those English, without their precious reverse-swing-oriented pitches their bowlers have really shown their inability to be successful against the Aussies.
Went to the local Penrith City Library the other day (while i was supposed to be studying/watching the cricket) and they were having a book sale! Book sales at libraries are the best places to buy books, mainly because you can grab c.20 semi-good books for around $10! It was lovely, even though it meant spending an hour sorting through a lot of junk on Asian politics and Mills and Boon to get at the good stuff :). Also borrowed the second book in the 'Bartimaeus' trilogy by Stroud - the first one was hilarious, this one should be just as good! Is there something wrong about going to the local library, only to spend all your time rummaging through crappy old books being sold and trying hopelessly to make sense of the Children's section, where all the books i want are housed yet are in no logical order? I guess i spend enough time doing quazi-serious stuff at Mac Library, so should be allowed to behave like a kid at the local library.
Hmm, that's about it. Might go watch some Star Trek. Oh, no escaping Tom's rant without having to endure some Dilbert:
Poor old people!
