I will never pay attention to Chinese news ever again.

It has a format, that basically goes, "Person A, one of the leaders of the country/city/province has visited Place B today, in attendance for Event C. Person A encourages/condemns Action D, and makes comments" for half an hour. The most informative piece of information I get from it is the weather.

Really, these people should just keep blogs so we can check their itinery if we want, and leave the news free for more important stuff. I have no idea what the hell is going on in the rest of the world. I think I will go read Google News now.

I really pity Chinese journalists.

And I'm still sick. So I am seeking sympathy ;)

So. QTAC has finally been lodged. Who knew that such a small thing could be so stressful? Firefox screwed up on me just as the applet loaded, and I kept on thinking that IE was going to cark it too, but it didn't, and everything's good now.

So. Here are my preferences:

1. [711001]B. Commerce/ B. Journalism (dual degree) -- UQ
2. [709001]B. Business Management/ B. Journalism (dual degree) -- UQ
3. [409182]B. Creative Industries (Media and Communication)/ B. Business (Advertising, International Business or Public Relations) (dual degree) -- QUT
4. [227402]B. Laws/ B. Arts (dual degree) -- GU
5. [707001]B. Arts -- UQ
6. [226112]B. Arts -- GU

Dad's packing to go to Perth. Sounds like fun.

Well. I was ranting to animadverted this morning about how LJ is always conveniently here for everyone’s complaining purposes, so I think I’ll do just that today.

( Cut for excessive whining and icky girly bits. )

Kathy’s little planned Riverfire outing is on Saturday. Totally looking forward to it. If the rentals say no I’ll reason with them like an adult. If they still say no I’ll throw a tantrum. If they want to tag along, then so be it.

Some internets sprint. Some internets jog. Some internets walk at a leisurely pace with the odd bursts of speed. My internet? Hobbles. That's right, it usually hobbles along merrily until something reduces it to a crawl.

I am downloading a song at the transfer rate of 1.0252363kbs/sec, while simultaneously trying to upload for three different people on Limewire. One of these files is the music video for Shinhwa's Angel, coming in at around 25mb, with a transfer rate of 0.somethingkbs/sec. It is predicted to take around 23 hours 40 minutes and 20 seconds, the last time I looked.

Oh look, the person just cancelled on it.

Whoop. She/he is back now.

Well. At least my song's finished.

sorting_elite made me realise how much I liked hearing compliments. Seriously. Some of these comments are a huge boost to my ego. Currently, Hufflepuff votes are taking the lead, Gryffindor second, and quite a lot of squibbing, too. Oh well.

I'm off to get sunflower seeds now.
