Instead of doing a post this week and talking about what I think of Blake or Patrick White, I thought I would throw a few questions in the pot and see what happens. I will try and answer these questions in a different post later on.

Does anyone see a similarity in the characters Oothoon and Miss Hare?

Does anyone see a similarity in Blake's outlook ( Read more... )

I want to do a review of something I took away from a post Dyana did a while back. She did a post about meeting her cousins in Portugal a few years ago and how she still stays in touch. I think that is a great thing Dyana. Family is important. It reminded me of my experience when I met my cousins from England. They visited in July last year. Mike ( Read more... )

My mother gave me this picture of Jesus Christ when I was young and for as long as I can remember it has been stuck to the end of my bed. I wake up and one of the first things I see is Jesus starring straight at me. I guess it is a good way to remind me that what I do each day will be judged by someone or something.

I know people can be rehabilitated. In my first paragraph I talk about King Lear changing his stripes and how it was a shame he died soon after. I know I also said I didn't like him but "thats life". Not everyone likes everyone. Reading The Poison Tree tells us that. But I ( Read more... )

The Poison Tree II

If I had my time again
would I choose to be your friend?
Or would I choose to be your foe
and not let things go?

Would I hold my wrath's breath
'til the blue coloured its death?
Or would I warm my wrath's desires
feeding black coles to its fires?

Would I learn the lesson dealt
and watch my wrath melt?
Or would I ignore the past
and help my ( Read more... )

Last semester I roasted the character of King Lear and stated exactly why I didn't like him. King Lear was power-hungry and arrogant. Don't get me started on him again though. I could write another post on him. I only let him off because he did reform before he died which is a shame because he didn't get to use his new found views in his life. But ( Read more... )

I don't normally get on LJ and bark at anyone or anything in particular but what happened at uni yesterday at 3pm was an absolute disgrace and really pissed me off.

Some idiot (all I know is that she was female) in the SRC office got on the PA and said the following:

"Attention all students. News has just arrived that The Crocodile Hunter has died ( ( Read more... )

My LJ photo is from a bowling party I attended. If you got a turkey you had to pose like a fool for the camera. As you can see above, a turkey bowled a turkey that day.
