Middle Earth Crazy
Well that was unexpected.
You're Galadriel! You like turning green. And
staring evilly at Sam. You have stars in your
eyes.
Which girl in Middle-earth are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Ok, now two separate quizzes confirm it...
-Legolas-
Your ideal M.E. companion would be Legolas
Greenleaf. Patient and understanding, Legolas
would always be there to defend you and what he
believes in. He would always do what you asked
him to, and would always be courteous and
polite to you. He would be dedicated to you
and concerned about your welfare at all times.
He would never give up on you as long as you
never gave up on him.
Who is your Middle Earth Man?

Nooooo not Legolas!
You rule over Rivendell, the land of the elves,
both wise and fair, with no time for the needs
of the weak human race. Happy in the company of
your people, you focus wholly in keeping your
land away from the dark lord and out of
evilll...
Which Middle Earth City do you Rule?
brought to you by Quizilla
Well, not Lothlorien but still Elvish. Elrond move over.
And now the only non-Elvish result:
Rohirrim
To which race of Middle Earth do you belong?

Protest
Yesterday saw one of the biggest displays of public protest in this country.
Kevin Andrews, the governments Industrial Relations Minister dismissed the protest out of hand (see article in
The Age).
On Win Television's "Today" program this morning he was asked directly twice if the protests yesterday had any effect. He replied with:
"The government is committed to these reforms"
This response does not surprise me. The current government pretty much has the opinion that they havesome kind of mandate to remake this country in their own image, despite what many of the people think (I will not say all, 'cause at least a slim majority of people voted them in).
So basically yesterday was a diplay in ineffectual bleating at a government that has cotton wool in its ears.
And since I think the Simpsons are cool today, here are some words of wisdom, this time from Homer:
"You don't like your job, you don't strike. You go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way. "
Deja-Vu
So I was up at 4am this morning feeding the Babe. I was watching
Good Morning America. There was a news article which had
Dubbya (George W. Bush) talking about how the Democrats are changing their story about endorsing the war in Iraq. His comment was:
"They are playing politics with this issue"
Now here is where my Deja-Vu occurred. You see last month, another politician, this time in Australia, said exactly the same thing. John Howard -Australian Prime Minister accused John Stanhope - ACT Chief Minister of "Playing politics" by publishing draft anti-terror laws on his website (see posts by
Harrangueman and
Cass).
Now I have always been worried about John Howards "buddy-buddy" relationship with Dubbya, but this is downright scary.
In the immortal words of Lisa Simpson:
"Oh no, the dead have risen and they're voting Republican"
Tiggr!
Any of my friends can prbably tell you that my favourite pooh character is Tigger.
While surfuing through Death by Dice (see previous post) I found this little gem.
Loved it!
Oh, and by the way, I now have a
Live journal identity, so I can comment on all my friends Lj's. There is no escape from Inkling Kitty!

Retail Arghhh!!!
I am all for retail therapy. In fact I miss it a bit since we are now living on one income.
what I have never been able to stomach however is the commercialism of holidays. Christmas (or Xmas if you like) is coming on us soon. I know this because for the past 4 weeks I have seen the signs of it in the shops. Little by little decorations make their way to the front displays of retailers. Xmas food, Xmas decorations, suggestions for Xmas presents.
I have 2 family members birthdays to think of before I even bother my brain with Xmas - one of those being The Husband's!
He has often commented that shops should not think about Xmas until after his birthday (which is at the end of November). I tend to agree.
I can't believe the people who say at the beginning of December "I have already done all my Xmas shopping". I'm a last minute girl.
So in the spirit of that, I give you some last minute Xmas gift ideas courtesy of "
The Simpsons".
