Friday, May 16, 2003 Since my last post, about 24 hours ago, have had some fun... Watched good ol' Boston Public and Futurama up in the 10th floor TV lounge. I am pleased to report that I have not seen a mouse since my first time in that room. I was told, however, that someone saw a "mice" in my wing of the kitchen. It's haunting me. That, or it's a plague. A plague of "mouses" Futurama was HILARIOUS. And so say all of us. I was crying with laughter. The part where Enis (spelling?) said "Do you ever feel like you go woth girls just cos you should?" was sooooo funny, not to mention the various times that Fry almost killed his own Grandfather (knife, rusty bayonets.... ) so much random hilarity. Went on a tour of the Parliamentary Library today. Very quick, was in and out within an hour. Hopefully I'll be able to use it to source some good info for my Research Report. Shopped for a little while... Made a calendar of upcoming pieces of work due. It was rather full. Good to see how long til everything's due. Walked down to ANU and watched one of the First Semester Interns do their Oral Presentation about the EU, possible EU reforms in regards to SPFC and how this will potentially affect Australia's National Interests (a complicated term, for anyone currently doing Current Issues...) I'm sure MAX will be interested in this... She spoke for about 20 minutes, which I believe was just a summary of the Research Report and it was so professional. Q&A followed and the presenter answered so well. It was really great to see someone so knowledgable about a given topic. I kept thinking RMIT's not like this, RMIT's not like this..... :) Walked over to Civic (the "city" centre) and saw Matrix Reloaded. Oh your God! It was amazing! WOW. Cannot believe the special effects. So very good. Won't say anything, so it doesn't spoil it for anyone. I will, howver, say that my fav scene was Neo fighting Multiple Villians in a courtyard with a pole. soooooooooooo cool. Walked back to Fenner, and cooked dinner then wandered down to the Common Room where there was a lesson on "how to speak Australian proper". It was all about Strine. Very funny. Some of the accents and words that non-Austrayans (sic) came up wif were rool good like. We even tried to do the Typical Aussie Bloke or Shiela walk, while working three bits of Aussie slang into a sentence. Very cool.... EDIT: Forgot to mention that at said Strine night, everyone that attended was given an Aussie nickname. They took your last name and basically put a O or a IE onto somehow. I was DEEVO. Might go now.... Oo-roo posted by AJ | 9:57 PM | | ||
