Happy Valentine's Day F-list!! I'm the worst girlfriend ever, I know. I don't write, I don't call... Real life's kinda reared it's time-consuming head and I'm not online nearly as much as I'd like.
But get this... today I'm exercising after work with my gay boyfriend, then going out to dinner with my hetero boyfriend. AM I NOT A CHILD OF THE NOUGHTIES??
Also, Brokeback Mountain is FINALLY opening here in Bumfuck, Whoresville, and I'm already planning 3 viewings...
The debate continues to rage here over the RU486 "abortion pill". The way of things at the moment is that it's not authorised for use, and that the Health Minister has a direct veto if the Therapeutic Goods Administration *does* authorise it for use (No, this is NOT normal. You'd be right to ask what the fuck right a POLITICIAN has to decide whether a medication is fit for public consumption). Our Health Minister is a nasty little weasel of a man and a strong Catholic. You do the math. So we're trying to pass a bill to remove his veto, and it was passed fairly easily through the Senate (as was expected - more women on the Senate), but now has to pass through the House Of Reps, which is a bit of a nail-biter. As you can imagine, this one little issue has re-sparked the whole abortion debate and all the Pro-Life nutters are emerging again from their church pews and tupperware parties to vehemently defend the Health Minister's veto. Of course they're all missing the fucking point, which is that surgical abortion has been legal in Australia for years. Oh but like NO, I'm sorry, apparently having this pill available will make abortion "easier". Yeah, right. OK. A lot easier. I know I'll forego the condom tonight if I know that all I need to do is take a course of pills that will probably make me nauseated, go through some pretty fucking painful uterine contractions, bleed like a mother-fucker for a few days, and watch products of conception being expelled from my vagina - NO FUCKING PROBLEM. These people are fucking insane.
Meanwhile, in Bali... yet again two Australian boys are waiting to hear if they'll be sentenced to execution by firing squad for drug trafficking. Execution by firing squad.
World? What-the-fuck-ever.
Fluffy stuff:
Is VM on hiatus again? Bloody buggering hell.
BSG has been taking a vacation in Neverland. Weird. Except for the "So why don't we?" scene of course.
I am seeing Kanye West and U2 live in concert next month!
Apparently Australia is one of the world's biggest downloaders of TV shows. THAT'S ME, I'M CLEARLY AUSTRALIAN.
If anyone has Colin Farrell's recent masterpiece theatre and would be willing to share...
