This world ain't turning on us
This world is turning with us
1. I am apparently qualified to be an Applied Behaviour Analysis Therapist for an autistic child. Thanks to my wonderful / lovely / amazing boss at St Mary’s, I start on Thursday. Like me working at a primary school wasn’t scary enough.
2. According to voters on thesomewhatambitious, Short Stack is more disturbing than a guy talking about (and demonstrating) how he broke (yes, broke) his penis. Damn you, NFF. The price we pay for Tramdalf is indeed horrific.
3. I would watch Silent Witness even if it was poorly written, badly acted and full of glaring plot-holes, such is the power of Emilia Fox.
4. Ellen Degeneres is positively swoon-worthy when she dances with the sytycd top ten.
5. The only practical application of my history degree is that I can answer every single question on ADbc correctly, and often before the panellists. Which is great, if someone ever wants to employ me to watch tv history quiz shows and yell about Serbian nationalists at the television screen. That’s a career, right?
6. No matter how good I am at political or military history, there is always going to be the assumption that I’ll eventually move into social or (god forbid) feminist history or historiography, just because I’m female. That shit bores me to tears. Give me guns and battles and political manoeuvres any day, and fuck anyone who claims it’s too ‘masculine.’
7. “It wasn't whimsical. Tinkerbell is whimsical. This little fucker pisses on people." It’s entirely possible that United States of Tara is rivalling The West Wing for favourite show.
8. Having to study queer issues for the soc234 research proposal makes me remember why I’ve steadfastly refused to study anything in this area at uni.
9. Backyard couch + sunny deck + triple j + Orwell’s 1984 = absolute, utter contentment.
10. Tramdalf (!) exceeded all expectations (and not just because it was filmed and edited by Miklos Janek of Curiageous.) “YOU SHALL NOT PASS.” “*ding*” If you watch nothing else this year, watch Paul Verhoven dress up as Gandalf and face down a Melbourne tram.
