War in Iraq

Well, the war in Iraq has now been going on for one week today. Personally I have a lot of mixed feelings about the war, but for a long time now I have felt that it was inevitable that there would be some sort of conflict. I support the Australian and coalition troops 100% and hope that as many possible

Flu Injection

I had my yearly flu vaccination today – given to me by my Grandmother. Personally I think it is wise to have it, especially as a University student as crowded places such as lecture theatres are a perfect place for viruses to spread. The actual injection itself is painless, but the injection area (shoulder) does get a little tender a

Updates

Well, it has been a while since my last journal entry. Today there was a very small drama this morning at University. We were in class in Building 17 when the fire alarms went off. The whole building was evacuated. Everybody was standing outside wondering what was going on until the fire brigate turned up a few minutes later. Apparently

CD Copy Control

It was inevitable that the growing piracy of music would lead to some form of copyright protection on music CDs. Norah Jones’ CD “Come Away With Me” was the first CD I have encountered with such copy control. This annoys me because what I generally do when I purchase a CD is: Once I have the CD in mp3 I

Archive Removed

I have temporarily removed access to the yearly archive whilst I sort out some formatting issues.

This Weekend

I spent this weekend at Justin’s house. We went and seen Final Destination (see previous journal post) and spent the remainder of the time doing our usual things together 🙂 I got some late birthday presents as well. Sharon got me a gift voucher for Richmond Records (a music store) so I bought “Don’t Say a Word” on DVD. Justin

Final Destination 2

I seen Final Destination 2 this evening with Justin. The movie wasn’t the best movie, but it was satisfactory and provided some release from the world for 90 minutes. Those who have seen “Final Destination” would know about John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High” playing soon before somebody dies. In the second movie this song was featured once, in an elevator

Gangs of New York

This evening I decided to visit Sharon who is a close friend of both my mum and I. We went out and grabbed a quick bite to eat before going to see the movie “Gangs of New York” starring Leonardio DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis and Cameron Diaz. “Gangs of New York”, despite being extremely violent, was a very good film. Anybody

Two Weeks Down

The first two weeks of University for the year have finished without a hitch. I have bought two books so far with two remaining. I’ll also have to pay my fees soon which will leave me nice and broke for a little while. Nothing much else has happened recently

Printer out of ink

Murphy’s law says “Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong” and it always prevails. Today as I was preparing my subject folders to go back to University the time came to print the Unit Outlines for my subjects (normally around 20 pages each). Naturally 5 pages into printing the printer decided to run out of ink. Coincidentally only this morning
