I for one welcome our new smarmy overlord.



We see your change in party leader, England, and raise you a dethroned PM. Meet the soon-to-be-appointed PM of Australia, Malcolm Turnbull.

Time to play a game!

Did our Australian Leader Most Glorious, Tony Abbott, really say this following the recent legalisation on gay marriage in the US?

So I talked to people about my depression. I went on meds. I've now come off of some of them. I'm in the process of weaning off the last of them now completely. It's only the beginning of dealing with this, and we need to find the tablets that work best, but I feel good. Everything is a lot clearer. I still have ups and downs - I'm still a person - but I don't spiral into horrible dark places any more. If I get stressed I can deal. It feels good.

So now there's just everything else...

Yoda never says this, yet someone felt the need to attribute this quote to him. We live in a strange world.

I won free tickets to a French play (in English) for joining the French Club at uni. I don't actually speak French, but my friend talked me into joining anyway. Apparently they don't talk a lot of French - it's more of a bread eating club. If some kind of club warfare breaks out on-campus, I can sleep well knowing that I'm on the side that won't actually do any fighting.

Anyway I won two tickets and I have no idea who to take. I made a post on Facebook about it but I doubt anyone...

I went to a Grease singalong with a friend and had lots of fun. The crowd was a bit dead, and nobody dressed up so it wasn't quite as special as I imagined. I was wearing blue jeans and a white tshirt with a black bomber jacket, and I was doing better than anyone else.

I want to go with more people next year, so that we can all roll in wearing leather jackets over tshirts and high-waist jeans. It would be cool to try to get people up to dance during the Hand Jive scene, and just generally...

Not everybody is interrupted in their poops by large, horrid spiders. Luckily I saw it before it could come over and inject me with painful poisonous venom. I have better things to do than vomit all night.

I got my email from the Conservatorium yesterday. I successfully re-auditioned for my place in Classical Performance next year. I already knew I was in from how the audition went (the entire process is basically a formality - they already know who they want back in), but holy fuck it's relieving to actually know what's happening next year.

I've been keeping myself busy now that uni's over, too. I'm finally reorganising my computer room, which is taking a lot longer than I expected....

Right now I'm a bit stuck with what to do. I'm still all over the place with my health. Uni is back, and I'm currently doing 2 subjects totaling 5 hours over 3 days. That's less than half time. At this point the only subject I completed last semester was a general arts one we all had to do. The only other thing I could stay enrolled in was Aural Development and Studies, which runs over the full year.

So I'm getting to uni again. When I'm there I talk to people, have fun and get a...

I thought it might be nice to get some new things before uni goes back. Some of my jumpers are looking a bit daggy, and I could do with another jacket. I'd tried to go a few times in the last 2 weeks, but I was always either too tired to make it to the shops or too tired once I got to the shops to walk around umming and ahhing.

So today I tried again. And I got to a shop. And I looked at clothes. And I came to a strange realisation. I don't want new clothes. I want to look nicer so...
