Nothing much interesting today, spend most of the day cleaning up around the house and then worked on my assignment stuff in the afternoon.

Tonight’s Torchwood episode (”A Day in the Death”) was good though, I felt sorry for Owen, not being able to eat, drink, etc on account of being dead :o The whole episode illustrated well about how much it would suck to be dead but still moving around. That old man Parker seemed kinda interesting, too bad he died. Also, I wish I could get a wallpaper-suitable screenshot of that last scene before the closing credits.

Ohh no I’ve already (almost) forgotten about my blog-post-every-day promise! Super late night posts is probably not a good habit to be starting, but I keep saying to myself I have to wait for the day to be over before I write something :P

Highlights from today:

• Worked in the uni labs for a bit on our Flash assignment, mostly boring programming stuff.
• Installed Pidgin at home, after spontaneously deciding I wanted to have access to a bunch of other IM services.
• Spent way too many wasted hours trying to remember the password to my old AIM account from years ago.
• After many hours, realized I had the wrong AIM username, but still can’t remember the password. ARRGH! Curse you young-me!
• Got me an ICQ number thing.
• Ate pizza
• Watched Chamber of Secrets and then Goldmember
• Realized I hadn’t written this post, and also that I’ve stayed up too long to be able to watch my 7am Saturday-morning cartoons D: (maybe I’ll record them or something…)

So I thought, hey, my laptop is here in front of the TV, why not blog about what I’m watching? Stupendous!

First of all, I’ll mention this YouTube clip Daza showed me. It’s always interesting to see how unexpectedly perfect nature is at certain details. Also, David Attenborough is a great guy to listen to, I will be very sad indeed when he’s gone.

On the especially unnatural side of things, I’m watching Super Size Me. It’s late and I should be getting sleep for tomorrow, but I’m interested in *gasp* keeping up with current topics. Even watching the first few scenes, I’m absolutely mortified at how greasy and bloated America is. Seriously, we don’t even have the “Supersize” option here, and I’m terribly glad we don’t. Some of those advertisements I’m seeing in this documentary shock and horrify me. The school lunches and children commercials are just plain creepy.

I’ve known these things are unhealthy, but it’s creepy how blind most of America is to how much unhealthy food is surrounding them. I really hope Australia keeps away from becoming a mini-America.

Edit: Apparently I haven’t run into a supersize because they eliminated it. Good for them, all it took was an unfavourable documentary that threatened their sales.
