I'm still at the Library, really cool palce to be actually...half working, half oogling at some of the girls here, especially one that looks like...shit, I forget what her name was, but I know the face...she's pretty hot actually...*drool* Back to books.....!
Only a couple more days till the end of the holdiays, and it's not looking good with the holiday homework...too much with too little time...I think, but that's what I'm going to say...wish I had "discovered" the Library earlier...would have been an absoloute Godsend...so, next time I'm around, I'm going to shell out for a Weekly Travel Pass, and just go back and forth between 'home' (Wenty) and "home" (Library)...other highlights from today include using a microfilm reader AND printer (which I had no idea how to use) and just looking through all these OLD OLD OLD docs from 1874...there's a picture of Stannies on Page 21 of the 19 SEP 1874 edition *hint hint*...
So, Modern History essays are looking grim, the Physics is looking grim, the Chemistry is even worst, don't ask about English...thank goodness (I think) that there's no work for SOR, at least I hope not...(!!!)...what else was there, oh, Math...that's alright...just need some time to write out the equations, then it's all good...
Dinner sound good after this, got to go find a place that's good to eat from (PIZZA!!!) and got to get home before 2300...there's a new show called "The L Word" which is about...well...what starts with a big L?...there's also a program on Channel Ten which I forget what is called which is about that too...so I'm not sure which is worth it...
Oh, who watches Third Watch? If you don't know about it, make yourself known; it's a bloody excellent series...shame I can't continue watching it next week onwards...too late at night...
2 days till I go to Bathurst, 4 days till ANZAC...went to the Sydney War Memorial today; they were cleaning it all up ready for Sunday...looks pretty neat (no pun intended)...wonder what's going to happen this year in Bathurst...still a it confused about the Dawn Service...We're going, but not as AAFC...so it's civvie street for us...should be alright anyway...
Actually, it's getting pretty chilly about now...I think there's a big arsed High coming over NSW...so that should really drop the temps...especailly for Sunday (it's going to snow at Rockley again...!!!)
Hmm, what else can I write about? Ahh, that's right:
I found this article in the SEP issue of Readers Digest which was discussing the healing merits of a simple gesture that many of us take for granted, that is, the infallable "hug"...and how more to prove the statement then with my dad? A couple of days ago I asked my mum if she had hugged my dad recently...answer...no, not in over TWO MONTHS...and my dad was laying in hospital with fluid in his lungs...not a rpetty sight, but after the hug, dad was alot better...I don't know...something to ponder...
Better get going, the library's closing...
Who Is The Black Chinaman?
- Nick
- Kuala Belait, Brunei
- Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn't feel the earth - everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there - why deny that for a moment there, God was you? I realised that my training was useful in less than ten percent of the calls, and saving lives was rarer than that. After a while, I grew to understand that my role was less about saving lives than about bearing witness. I was a grief mop. It was enough that I simply turned up. Living and working back in Brunei, after a 14 year absence... Also known as: Brunei, NASA, Bruise-Eye, Bru, Cheesecake, Nick, BruNick, BruMedNick, Two Step etc etc etc
