    mark loves sharon

    I didn't understand it when I watched it. It's not as bad as MLS, definitely, but not my type of comedy.

    mark loves sharon

    BB is godlike next to Mark Loves Sharon, and it's a shame they show MLS right after Good News Week. They have another stupid show after MLS; The Flight of the Conchords. Does anyone watch that?

    What are you currently Reading?

    Finished 'And Hope to Die' by J.M. Caulder in 1 day and a half (it's one of those fast paced, action-crime novels), and now starting on 'Whitethorn' by Bryce Courtenay.

    The Literary Acquisition Thread

    The closest Borders shop is...very far away from my place, but yeah, I signed up for the email newsletters and the deals are pretty good. (Do they apply to educational titles?) I prefer books over e-Books. :) Anyway, just went to my local Salvation Army op shop, and I picked up a classic...

    advanced english task

    You have to INFER (is that the right word to use?) his context. His biography will tell you what you need to know. Eg. If he grew up during a war period, will this affect how the play was written? etc. etc.

    are you dropping

    Oh-my-god. If my mum said something like that to me... Dropping 2 Units (either Jap, SaC, or Ancient History) and picking up EX2 to see if I can handle it. OR Dropping 4 Units (I have 14) and picking up EX2 and HX1.

    How much pressure do your parents put on you?

    I agree to a certain extent on that, although I am no longer pressured by my parents to do well, and I have actually started to enjoy school. I was in Guang Zhou with my relatives last Christmas Holidays and wow, my little cousin is like 12 but extremely pressured. He got 99% on a English...

    Fave line from a movie

    From Bridget Jone's Diary: Bridget Jones: He's just a big knobhead with no knob... (sees Daniel standing over her desk) ...is some people's opinion of Kafka, but they couldn't be more wrong. This book is a searing vision of the wounds our century has inflicted on traditional masculinity...

    Any particular 'good luck charms' that you do before important days?

    lyounamu would probably get bashed if he did that, considering he goes to an all boy's school. I probably wouldn't. ;) Another weird ritual I have for exams to is always use a medium ball point pen. It's much easier to write with compared to fine tips, which I use for preparing notes, because...

    Tell me, what part of our customs are "dirty"?

    Big Brother Australia AXED

    I liked this season's BB, primarily because they decided to take housemates from a larger cross section of the population. It's also interesting to watch the housemates development as the season progressed. I'm not surprised it's been axed, though.

    Where does one purchase a shower cap?

    Why eBay? Postage will cost more than the shower cap, which you can buy in 5 packs for less than a buck at supermarkets etc. Unless of course, you're looking for a customised shower cap studded with rhinestones and diamantes.

    Threadless $10 Tee's

    That site is rather expensive compared to Threadless, with the Australian dollar rising against the US and all that. Just wait for the next generation of University students. :)

    Where can I purchase...

    As a last resort, you could use eBay if you have a PayPal account.

    yumm... studying snacks....

    Chocolately subtances and chocolates in general distract me. After I have one piece, I keep returning to the pantry for more. :o Good study food I like are fruits, in particular crunchy ones such as Apples, or ones that are loaded with nutrition, like bananas. I also like having a bowl of oat...

    Organising Work (merged)

    Re: Folders or Books? I currently use the standard exercise books I've been using for the last few years of secondary education, but I'm thinking of changing to a folder with loose leaf paper and folders, just for the sake of easier organisation.

    Any particular 'good luck charms' that you do before important days?

    Yes, that would be a good excuse to use if you wanted to kiss someone. ;)

    Any particular 'good luck charms' that you do before important days?

    lol Before exams (or even where there are no exams) I sometimes try to put my forehead against the forehead of a clever person to transfer knowledge.
