The End of the World

Two movies to look out for. Frank Miller's 300 which is hella cool and hardcore. This is a movie that I have to see in the cinemas. Forget P2P. I want my giant screen and surround sound. The second movie is Pirates of the Carribbean: At World's End. After the "what-the-fuck?!" ending of Dead Man's Chest, I want to see what happens next and how they wrap up the sucker. Will there be a fourth? I don't know. But I think that a trilogy is very good and there's no need to start pushing four unless the script is really good.

USyd's FHS is not that bad Jack. Okay so maybe it doesn't have loads of Seftoners, but more doesn't necessarily mean better. I know Charles was like "why don't you go to UNSW?". My response was "it doesn't have my wanted course." Well, it doesn't have this exact course, Medical Radiation Science (Diagnostic Radiography). Well, I could have done a Bachelor of Science at UNSW, specialising in Radiation Science (or similar), but it's not medical-orientated. That and this course is accredited. Anyway, the small-town feeling of FHS is not detrimental.

The Modern physics practical was pretty cool. Loads of people should up because the scheduling was screwed up and the two lecturers were like "OMGWTFBBQ!". We were simulating radioactive decay using cubes with one side painted black. If the the black side showed up, then that nuclei had decayed and was removed. And we had to draw the required graphs and so on. It's not too bad. I mean, there is a bit of maths involved, but nothing that can't be done with a little thinking and a calculator. Definitely not anything 4-unit.

So the PS3 came out last night/early this morning. The only thing I've decided about it, is that I'm not going to get it. The price is probably the main factor. A grand is a lot of money to sink to a console and not to mention the $90 to $100 cost of games. I know one guy has bought a PS3 and a true HD plasma tv to go along with it. Now that's dedication...and a deep pocket. Me? My pockets aren't that deep. Of course, that still leaves the Wii and the Xbox360 which are reasonably cheaper. Still tossing up on actually whether to get a next-gen console. Maybe soon. Maybe later.

And of course, this Saturday is the business end of being 18 and over. Having to vote in the state election. Since I'm an intensely non-political creature, the thought of actually voting for someone makes me cringe. That and my cynical nature on voting. Basically, we have three choices. Labour, Liberal or the Independants. All three sides are equally the lying and cunning scumbags that they are, yet voting may make a difference to the state of affairs of the state and nation. Of course, whether any party will actually make a difference if voted is debateable. It is likely that Labour will fix shit up in NSW, or the Liberals will make it worse, or the Independants...do what Independants do. Damn these decisions.

In the world of anime, I've been mainly keeping up to date with Bleach and Naruto Shippuuden. So no new anime really. I can't be bothered keeping up with loads of series. MAybe the odd 26-ep anime, but not an on-going series. I am reading the Naruto manga though, and it's exciting stuff. Too bad it only comes out weekly. I've been following House Season 3 and bits and pieces of Heroes on TV. I'm waiting for the new season of Doctor Who that comes out this month. That's about that.


Until next time.
