Swans, pigs and spaghetti

I went to the GP today to sort out immunisation issues for uni, and he gave me a booster tetanus shot :( yes, I am a slight coward when it comes to needles. Also watched Hot Fuzz yesterday because Civic Video didn't have T2...(fo shame!) and I now have a newfound awareness of living statues and scary swans. 

 

Actually I already knew swans are scary..have you seen the black swans at Bicentennial Park?? They just come up to you..plus they hiss and they have long necks like snakes. 

Defenceless old man! Those swans just won't cut him some slack. It looks humungous as well..there must be steroids in the bread they eat or something :[ 

HAHA actually I was just struck by a mental image of Yeats being attacked by 'nine and fifty swans'..poor Yeats. Or: 

Q: Why were there not 30 pairs of swans travelling 'lover by lover' in Yeats' poem, only 59 swans? 

A: Not because it symbolises the fundamental flaws of humanity or his own utter loneliness, but because one had gone and attacked Yeats. HAHAHA


I also finished Animal Farm today. It is a very good book, but it wasn't exactly the best mood lifter. :P Curse those pigs! 

Furthermore went to the city today to meet up with Amak, Kt and Jessica, who just returned yesterday from an awesome kickass trip to China, Korea, etc etc. I hadn't seen her in a month so it was awesome but weird but weird in a good way to see her again :D. 

I totally miss bumming frequently at friends' houses..those kinds of occasions when you eat whatever and watch movies and talk etc. It sucks but it's probably inevitable that I won't get to see them as much during uni :( 


Other random things, got to see Kt all decked out in business gear. She looks pretty high rollery already haha. Also bumped into two people I kind of knew while waiting at Woolies. It's a small world ey ;) 

Man I need something to lift the incredibly flat mood I'm in..spaghetti with pitted olives is helping a bit..nomnomnomdinner. 

Adios, amigos..
