So I'm back at uni. There's this Macfest thing going on for the first week back. Bands and stuff. Upon first glance: pretty crap, but I have discovered why there are so few stalls. A man trying to recruit people for paintball (the overrated sport of pent-up aggressives, psychos and our proud army) explained that a stall for non-union corporations like his would cost in the area of $800. That's per day.

Anyway, I'm not complaining, I got free doughnuts. I bite into it and turn immediately saying "Holy crap, you guys have to have one, these are the best things ever". And the doughnut girl gives me this knowing, "good, another one converted" look.

Oh, Macquarie has a course called Japanese Manga and Personal Identity. Eat your hearts out all the anime freaks* I know. If only I could work out what the appeal of manga is. Then I'd be set.

*It's a term of endearment, I swear.

Sunday Jess and I went shopping. I'm very glad she came. I hate shopping. I hate it. No man enjoys shopping. Any who says he does is mistaken, a liar or has that condition with the extra female chromosome- that I can't spell.

Whilst there we saw Hoodwinked. Yeah, I'd never heard of it either. But it was a $6 ticket and went to charity.

It's a digitally animated comedy for kids. Good portions of it were intensely unfunny, only made worse by the fact the girls next to us (not kids either) laughed at anything, including when THE TITLE OF THE FILM APPEARED. Not to mention the man of about 30 yrs in front of us who cacked himself at the flat pop culture jokes.

Yes. I will decide what's funny and what's not. Anyway, if you do go to the movies and Superman isn't showing, you probably won't regret seeing it. Look out for the goat. Oh man I love that goat.

On Saturday I roadtripped to the Blue Mountains for a picnic. So that was pretty awesome. And awesomely pretty, in fact. It took a lot of organisation on Jacqui's part, which we appreciate. And thanks to Emma too for getting up so early to come.

Basically what I'm saying is forget the "ExplorerLink" or whatever the crap CityRail is trying to pitch at you. Because that's ridiculous. By car all you have to pay is petrol.

There's plenty more to say but Glass House is on momementarily. So I'm going to press Publish now, ok? Ok.
