So I finally had my chat with my honours supervisor.
The less interesting part of the conversation was about statistical language technology and my honours thesis.

The more interesting part of my chat was about babies and how they happen when you’re gay.

It turns out that the answer is “with difficulty” and at least a small portion of that is thanks to my friend and yours, John Howard…

Really good. I was quite surprised actually.

I was kind of expecting it to be just an another ultra-violent romp full of gratuitous nudity and the beating of people, but stylish.

Turns out it was a lot better than I expected. Visually it is fantastic. Really really comic book style. Some of the shots are just awesome. Really really well composed. I couldn’t get over how good it looked. When I picture it in my memory it IS framed as shots in a comic book. It’s kind wierd.

I’m a sucker for movies with a background monologue, and this one had it just right. The dialogue was nicely cliched, awkward and just cool.

All in all, it was much better than I thought it would be.
Damn fine.

The other day, I discovered that he is also… like… totally having a baby!

We come in peace… July 24, 2005

So… yes… As anyone who has been paying attention to the news lately knows, the London police pursued a “terrorist” the other day, in an action that led them to shoot him 5 times in the head while he lay pinned to the ground.

In the words of an eye witness: “One of them was carrying a black handgun - it looked like an automatic - they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him.”

If I had been born a squid, and I had been granted the choice over how I would like to go…

I think I’d choose to become Salt and Pepper Squid.
