So my life has gone crazy. Ever since I got back to school on Monday I have been panic-ing madly, working non-stop. I just finished a Theory of Knowlege presentation on child pornography vs art, specifically the case of Bill Henson in Australia last year. It was actually quite interesting to research, and I managed to apply it all back to music in the sense of the "Nevermind" Nirvana cover. If you know about the Henson case, do you think it was child pornography? What do you think constitues pornography in the first place? (Only if you feel comfortable with answering, I just found some of the arguements for and against quite interesting, also I don't want my opinions to be so wrong that i get hated by my ToK class..) Personally I don't think it was pornography, that up in a collection by an established artist with established themes (which do not stray anywhere near sexual desire, but in the transition of one thing to another).
It seems that a few of you out there are having rough times right now, and I really hope it gets better for you all soon. <3
Otherwise I'm in the final term before summer now, so only 11 weeks or so 'till I'm home again. At the moment though it's looking like I can only stay for 3 weeks, because of a distinct lack of frequent flyer tickets released by Qantas. :(
Tell me what's up with you guys? I've missed you.
Oh and also? I started watching Skins over the break and am now almost finished! I really don't like the third season, I actually do not feel anything for any of the characters. :( And on the topic of TV shows, How I Met Your Mother keeps on postponing episodes, and having annoyingly long breaks in between. It could be (probably) because Lily (and Robin?) is pregnant, but.. D: I suppose I can wait.
tok?,
summer!,
