Well the girls were having some ridiculously girly movie night (a Suddenly 30 sleepover — aka 13 going on 30 in most other regions, for some reason the Australian release got a different name), so we decided to go one better.
Only ended up watching two movies but both were absolute quality… the first (Army of Darkness) because of mediocre (but not outright bad, and not pretentious at all) production values/ridiculous/fun plot, and the second (Commando) because of Arnie and associated explosions, gratuitous violence, barely-remembered-one-liners (it was noted his name is always John, presumably because, being monosyllabic, he will at least remember to answer to it), etc. Good times had by all.

OH MY GOODNESS I PASSED WITH CREDIT!!!
It strikes me that the marks must have been horribly scaled, much of the rest of the cohort have intellects that could be best applied removing gum from carpets, or I am, in fact, a borderline genius and simply chose not to take advantage of this until in the exam room (which, it is worth noting, I turned two minutes late for, had a nose-bleed in, and left early having exhausted my knowledge of the subject some time previously). Or, alternative, the subject is a wank and it wouldn’t have mattered what I wrote.
Sure, 71 isn’t anything special, but I fail to see how I attained a mark that high! W00t.

Snapped this in Coles earlier this week. (It’s a typo, for those unfamiliar with the cost of produce. Should say KG instead of Each… unless genetic engineering has reached the point where 1KG mandarins are indeed within the realm of possibility!)

The first image would have been a spectacular photo with the aid of a tripod, a bigger camera, and more time. I was running late going somewhere one night and took this as I headed off. The industral setting of it all is epitomised by the moon itself appearing harshly bright, like some unforgiving floodlight for night-work. Only vastly more brilliant, and, in (probably) any other context, beautiful.
The second image is chiefly provided for the clarity that the first lacks.

The cat/rat distinction is somewhat blurry. I was coming out of the driveway earlier this week and was perplexed to see what I thought to be the face of a cat staring at me from inside a drain. By the time I stopped the car, got out my camera, turned it on, and snapped, the cat was a little further out.
Yes, I go home and practice my ninja-speed-photo-taking abilities at night. *ahem*
