First Aid-ing, Smurfing, Earthquakes and TV
Japan just had a major earthquake it seems near a nuclear power plant. More news to come.
May I just say South Park is one of the greatest shows on TV. The lapooning-ness of the show is fantastic, and they take off American issues so well. The 100th episode of the show is a fantastic example of this. GO SEE IT!
This is exactly the reason:
Benjamin Franklin: "I believe that if we are to form a new country, we cannot be a country that appears war-hungry and violent to the rest of the world. However, we also cannot be a country that appears weak and unwilling to fight, to the rest of the world. So, what if we form a country that appears to want both."
Thomas Jefferson: "Yes, yes of course, we go to war and protest going to war at the same time...."
Benjamin Franklin: "And that means that as a nation, we could go to war with whomever we wished, but at the same time act like we didn't want to. If we allow the people to protest what the government does, then the country will be forever blameless."
John Adams: "It's like having your cake and eating it too."
Anonymous Hick Redneck Founding Father: "Think of it: an entire nation founded on saying one thing and doing another."
John Hancock: "And we will call that country the United States of America."
I may be just an ignorant Aussie, but may i just say "heheheheheheheheheh! Much amused."
That and "Drawn Together". I swear I'm in love with Foxxy Luv's character. She's a gun! And she drives a motorbike.
Did i also mention she's bisexual?
I get the Monday night special of South Park and Drawn Together back to back on SBS.
CAPTAIN HERO SINGING "EVERYBODY HURTS" IS HILARIOUS! Make sure you watch this show!
Anyway, I ended up doing a First-Aid Course today, and it was a laugh riot. The lady doing it was an American, from Massachusetts so we had fun when she was using Australian slang. Her favourite was "Have a go, you Mug", I had to stop myself from laughing out loud.
The course itself was really good though. I had a go at one of those new Defibulator kits. The basic premise is that the patches goes on, you do CPR around it until the kit tells you to back away, someone hits the button, and it shocks the person on the floor. The plan is to have them stationed around RMIT, so that there's one within 4 minutes of eachother (after 4 minutes you're dying if you don't have oxygen, 15 minutes is total braindeath, scary stuff). But if you ever get the chance, a first-aid course is something i believe everyone should do at least once in their lifetime.
I ended up smurfing today, and i was turning snags. I wasn't very happy with the crew i had. I get there after the first-aid course, the barbeques aren't lit, the snags aren't sizzling, and people are going "What do we do?". It took a fair bit of my patience to deal with these smurfs without yelling. Some of the snags cooked i threw out because i wasn't happy to serve them. I had to tell people to put gloves on, i was telling people not to cross-contaminate, and some of these guys didn't have their foodies. The people i had to talk to the most had their foodies, and that was the worse thing.
I did end up getting food though, a veggie burger whopper. Imagine a bread roll, then tomato sauce, then a chick pea patty, more tomato sauce, another chick pea patty, more sauce, another chick pea patty, sauce, and the top of the bread roll. This was at 2.30pm, i haven't eaten since it was so filling, and it's now 9.44pm.
Rawr! 8.30 with Chandra tomorrow, and all i can say is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Yes, it's that bad.
