friezaess*Anyone know of a cheap furniture place in Brisbane? I'm finally replacing that battered old couch and intened to hit up Super A-mart and Fantastic Furniture... any other suggestions?
*I find it ironic that freethinkers seem to think about nothing but how messed up religion is. I have no idea why I joined their shitty society at UQ, now my inbox is full of e-mails documenting the same issues over and over featuring interviews with people who agree with them. At least religious fundamentalists are entertaining :(
*You ever get those courses which you have to do to get your degree but are void of any useful content? I have to do Convergent Journalism, which is basically a bunch of old men sitting around and talking about how they didn't have Twitter back in their day or how the internet has changed reporting. And people wonder why the biz is going broke. One lecturer actually used the phrase "e-mail machine".
*I somehow managed to whack myself in the eye with my clunky metal birdcage necklace. I was paralysed with pain for a whole minute. This is what happens when I catch public transport.
*Often times late nights bring about bouts of creativity or depression. Tonight, I am depressed that I am not creative. I think if I put a bullet in my skull it would have to go on a mountain excursion to find my brain.

(For reference, I love logic...)
I joined the society this semester because of my friend, but Jesus Christ. The stupid is _obnoxious_ because it gets dressed up in pretty pretentious words and they get to claim they're rational.

OMG a poodle is passing my window!
