Relevancy

May 29, 2006 17:28

Last night I watched Answered By Fire. It's a fictionalised version of Australia's UN involvement in East Timor's attempt to break away from Indonesia, and it was filmed around here, which is cool to begin with. Other than that, it was just a bloody good Australian production. But the most important part is how dangerously relevant it is. With events flaring up in Indonesia again, Australia has sent a new bunch of troops in there to 'restore order,' and just as they set foot on the ground our public broadcaster hits the country with this.
I think it's awesome. For some reason I had to share.

In other news... I don't really have that much other news. Today was the most delightful of my two week cycle, due to a phenomenom I like to call 'double english and triple maths.' However I managed to get out of two periods selling drinks for Amnesty. I know, it's astounding, I've gone for years without doing anything even remotely connected to Amnesty and then I end up making them 50 bucks with no fanfare whatsoever. Although don't start judging me and saying I'm charitable. I did it to get out of one period of English and one period of Maths. So that was all good.

Oh. I have tickets to Pearl Jam. Goodo.
