The truth is...

Man, the assignments kept coming in. I have like 3 assignments and 1 exam due on the same day in a fortnight. But it's not that bad. I'm really enjoying radiography so the burden is that bad.

Watched Iron Man last night in Burwood with some uni friends. That movie is fucking gold. Seriously. You think Robocop's armour was cool, wait til you see Tony Stark's sleek Iron Man armour. There were a few minor weakness (weak, dull characters, not following proper comic continuity) but I'll be nitpicking anyway. Watching on the big screen at cinemas makes a massive difference. Robert Downey Jr fits perfectly as the arrogant and witty Tony Stark who has a change of heart after a brief stint in the hands of terrorists. I don't want to spoil anything, but it has a killer beginning and a killer ending. Apparently there was a little scene thingo after the credits but we 'd left too early and missed it. Well, I'm definitely getting a copy of this when it comes to DVD.

Television wise, everything is ramping again. Doctor Who is starting to go full-speed ahead with the first of an awesome two parter out and the next one is a few days. House is also back in the game after such a long hiatus due to the writers strike. And Avatar: Last Airbender has a few episodes up, although how regularly it will show remains to be seen.

Also my brother downloaded all 276 episodes of Dragonball Z. Watching it brings back a massive wave of nostalgia. It was back when CheezTV was still on, with Jade and Ryan as hosts. DBZ started at 8am and ended at 8:25. At school there would be massive discussions on fights and future events, and we spent quite a bit of time browsing fan sites on the power levels of characters and gush about going Super Saiyan mode. And this was before the time of Wikipedia. Damn, it was awesome.

Such good times.

I miss them.
