- It's becoming increasingly difficult to keep my eyes open after 7 pm - I keep having brief naps regardless of how many hours I slept. And ... I slept for 15 hours straight on Friday O_O ... how I do love talking about sleep in my posts.
- MAD was fantastic, and yes people looked so much better in a suit (save the one I'm holding the grudge against) >:(
- The two best things about living close to Cabra / Canley Vale = fabric that doesn't break the bank (prices start at $1.5/metre - now do you ever see Spotlight or Lincraft etc. sell your typical fabric for this cheap?!) + delicious viet food (I swear by Gia Hoi's beef noodles)
- It's not wrong to tell people something, but tell the wrong people who won't keep their mouths shut is a pain in the ass. So the lesson I learnt? Don't tell people who will talk about your matter to other people even in a joking manner == I should actually probably take my own advice more here
- It's amazing how well I can push myself to do things when I'm in a frantic rush. Now why can't I force myself to balance tasks at a nice pace! Speaking of which, so glad my draft is done and actually not crap :-)
- Moving out in my late twenties is not old. NOT OLD. I refuse to stay until I am 30. Because I would be a leech if I stayed that long, when I would have my own (stable) job then. I shall break tradition as I see fit!
It get you down when you bother putting effort, and you just don't get what you expect from it. Whereas others just get it naturally. Hence why I'm feeling so jealous! :( And today I was thoroughly disgusted at how people can just get away with being public nuisances at train stations (*cough cough, G. Station). eg. bogan blatantly peeing against the wall holding beer (or whatever it was) in a paper bag.. and looking extremely stoned. Ok that was an absolutely effing revolting and ghastly sight >< and it drives me up the wall seeing how many people just smoke and the station is crowded - passive smoking in heavy action >:( The problem with City Rail is that they establish rules, but they don't bother enforcing them, rendering them useless, really. Trains have advertising now too O_O but I am certain that CityRail will definitely waste the funds they get from the advertising once again.
And...the rise of technology makes me sad sometimes, wondering if life was better if we didn't eat, breathe and have our lives revolve so heavily around technology (funnily enough, I am blogging about this- ah, hypocritical me. Regardless...). Fairfax Media which owns the SMH (my fave newspaper!) and the Age are scraping 1900 jobs over the next two years... and downsizing. Printers are going to be out of jobs. Sure, we might be saving the environment a bit, but..... :( You know what drives me even further up the wall? Gina Rineheart - that rich bitch (technically very true). Okay it's good for her that she's got more money than anyone could dream (one could think that she could perhaps contribute to just causes and be somewhat a philanthropist), but now she wants to take over editorial control over Fairfax Media - when the media are in such a tumultuous period, with people resigning left and right - just because she wants to retain good publicity. I see an issue with this: the media are there to expose all the shit that happens in the world so she could probably f--- off. Furthermore, she had it coming. Argh. I really can't decide between capitalism and socialism at times like these. But to get back to the main point: technology is killing off the printed word.... :( Imagine the future generations - they'll never know what a real book felt like. Or what it was like to smell a new book. Or flip pages of a newspaper:(
Secondly, seeing companies/ influential people telling people to "follow us/me on Twitter!" and "like my / our Facebook page!" in order to enter a competition is just so pathetic... It's like being popular online is the new rage these days =__="
I emptied most of my thoughts already and holy, that was long.
So glad there is a strike tomorrow!
tl;dr ? Technology sucks sometimes...because we are far too dependent upon it.
I was gasping and wheezing out of excitement when I saw this a few days agoD
