I like this site.
It appeals to my exam period mentality.
Hulk should smash exams.
HULK'S DIARY THAT IS ON THE INTERNET
In other news, i bought wine today. Who-hoo! My reward for a hard week of (attempted) study and (attempted) exams. Big wine sale in the city with a good 30 big brands open for tasting and over half price off. Got a mixed 12 bottles for $75: 6 De Bortoli Shiraz (Yarra Valley) and 6 of very nice Tisdall Cabernet/Merlot from the Goulburn Valley So they're not the greatest wines in the world but they're easy drinking and at that price, a bargin! Already got some good stuff cellaring nicely :-)
Lunch with Xian, post wine buying, was a good catch-up too. Don't see enough of my friends in the city, and, sadly next semester i'm not going to see much of anyone! Ahh the joy of the vet student life.
Still the wonder of the Queens 2nd Australian B'day celebration means i got an extra day to study for horses. Lucky me.

This is Marilyn.
She is a cat.
As a vet student,
I'm just about qualifed to say that.
Marilyn hates birds.
I also hate birds.
Marilyn is my friend.
I also hate exams
The End.
I'm still putting off study...

Ta-DAH!
My oft-mentioned Cambodia print for those who still care (namely the parentals!) The wood for the frame was located at a demolitions yard and is a solid piece of jarrah. It weighs a tonne. Sadly it's too damn heavy to hang on my rental plasterboard wall. But cost me much, much less than a similar mass-produced pine frame with less character. There's something wrong about that.
Maybe i should have a rant...

One down... still too many to go
The Herald Sun (read: Melbourne's trashy tabloid newspaper) had a slow news moment and published a picture of a lovable baby llama. Sadly his less lovable sibling happens to live with me.
And as you can see, despite the exams, am still finding time to do bugger all. But at least it's keeping me smiling.
That said with our first and biggest exam out the way, the light at the end of the tunnel seems that much closer. Thank god.
Moving swiftly away from the subject of exams,
i was thinkingA rarity i know, and even more unusual that i would take the time to write about it too, but that's kinda my point. Looking around, browsing other blogs, it seems everyone has something to say. And a lot of it's fairly intelligent. Then there's me. And i write crap (the opposite of writing good) and it's not even very interesting or up-to-date crap. I mean, i didn't even tell the story of my run in with the law after vet ball and the loss of my prize winning wig. No rant from me about the stupidity of drunk bored youth or ineffective paper-pushing police. No epic account of the loss of the aformentioned wig. Nor did the story of my trip to see Xmen 3 at Gold Class cinema grace these hallowed pixels. Mind you, that really wasn't that exciting. Gold Class at Victoria Gardens has definately stepped down a notch since Hoyts took over. And the movie wasn't all that much to speak of either, which was a shame. Bad way to end the franchise (but is it really the end...?)
However i digress. Thing is, i'm not sure i can rant. Well, not in text anyway; too much swearing goes on in my verbal rants to bear repeating. And that would probably be quite boring to read. Maybe i need to find something i can really rant about. You'd think in this world there would be all manner of things to express my (obviously) important opinion on. After all, my public school upbringing surely has provided me with all the tools to express clearly in a non-inflammatory and logical manner, both accurately and concisely, nay succinctly, whatever message i should so choose to force on my limited number of readers. Then again i suppose i actually want to keep the few readers i have.
Hmm.. i bet no-one can guess that the alternative to blogging at the moment would be studying...
