So. I wrote the complaint. It's longer than I was expecting, and it's a first draft so I'm going to work on it more before I send it to Channel 9.

If you want to use it (or any part of it) in your own letter to Channel 9, please feel free to do so. I want them to know that there are people who care out there, that nostalgia for some old dinosaur ( Read more... )

Was watching Media Watch last night and they talked a bit about Hey Hey. (If you watch the section titled What's In a Draft Code the Hey Hey part starts at 4.13, though the whole thing is interesting.) Not a detailed analysis on the racism, since it's not their focus, but they said that Channel 9 basically only registered written complaints - and ( Read more... )

28 minutes is now mine! I now know I can run laps around my street (it loops back on itself)! It takes about 17 minutes to run once around the street!

Today has been an excellent day. I went running, then I went into the city and spent money I shouldn't be spending. I have DVDs! (Sarah Connor Chronicles and Veronica Mars, both season one.) But I  ( Read more... )

I've just checked my emails and I've got one from Private company B - they're pushing back the assessment! I have an extra week to prepare!

*Glee*

If I'd been preparing I'd probably be having a little hissyfit about having to spend more time stressing about it - but I didn't get round to doing any research and preparation today, and tomorrow's ( Read more... )

Went and saw Stonehenge today!

It was a pity that we picked today, though. The temperature dropped to 11C and it was pretty windy because it was all rolling plains with no windbreaks for miles around. We had little audio guides to tell us about the Stonehenge and basically I was crushing it into my ear in the effort of hearing what they were saying ( Read more... )

This post has been building up for a while. I am probably developing an ulcer from holding on to it. J knows if he ever wants to set me off on an old-person-type rant all he has to do is say one little word. One tiny, insignificant little word. So innocent. So (seemingly) innocuous.

That word?

It was so cold today, I ended up hiding in bed after lunch and didn't get out till 6pm.

I do not know how I'll ever be productive in weather like this. (And yes, I know it could be worse and there are people regularly facing snow and ice... but goddamnit I'm freaking cold!) Still, it was not me who turned on the heating at 5pm! Sure, my moral high ( Read more... )

I need an anger icon sometime soon. I rant enough for it.

So you know they're planning on making a live action movie of Avatar: The Last Airbender? M. Night Shyamalan is going to direct.

Finding out about the Christmas Resistance Movement reminded me about a post I've been meaning to make for a while. I'm not Anti-Christmas, as such, but it's a very weird ritual that I've always felt on the outskirts of.

My family is Buddhist. I'm not very religious, myself, but I was raised that way and it still shapes the way I think about things ( Read more... )
