Two Brothers

Something I learnt today: Shane is Shallow Indeed
Something that made me laugh today: Tara can send free MMS right now.

Tara just got bored. She MMSed me 9 or so times. The most random of photos. Friends, buildings at uni, me with my eyes closed. Worth a laugh though. I got them all in the space of 2 minutes ad now my cheeks hurt.

I'm actually on a train right now, writing this on paper because I'm too tired to read my book. I'm on my way home from a long day at uni followed by a show by the MTC.

Two Brothers. From the writer of Inheritance (simply brilliant). The story of two brothers who represent the oppposite ends of the political spectru,. The two of them are thrown into dealing with the same political problem and we watch how they, and their families, cope with the issue.

The issue. The most important part. Hannie Rayson, the writer, likes to focus her plays on issues important to Australia. She puts in a lot of effort and research to ensure that her presentatino is accurate. Believe me, this is entirely to her credit.

But tonight, unfortunately, and this week (just as unfortunate) I am exhausted. A play ripe with politics was perhaps a little above the preferred entertainment for the evening. Shame. Even with this, I was still glued to the proverbial screen. Very enjoyable, very dramatic. It's a shame about some of the actors. The younger ones especially. Cute, but confused about how to play their roles.

As for all my bloody assessment. The micro exam went well (I think). My stupid isolate was mentioned in one of the questions. I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or scream in frustration. I won a prize for my isolate being so demented. Hooray.

Likewise, the Genome Science test went fine. As fine as can be, I suppose, when you have to drag yourself out of bed at 6am and travel to uni as the heavens pour onto you to sit in an airconditioned lecture theatre while the splattered rain at the cuffs of your jeans slowly freeze as you answer questions that you're already answered about a computer algorithm's ability to compare DNA sequences. Other than that, it was peachy.

I bought the new Cat Empire CD. I have all of $3 left in my waller. I'd listen to it as I write, but, you know, my laser vision's failing.
