Angus and Robertson in Pitt St has been this magnet over the past two weeks. I have bought: Michael Moore- Dude, where's my country John Marsden- While I live Jane Austen- Persuasion John Galsworthy- The Forsyte Saga (after seeing the mini-series on dvd and swooning over Ioan...

I was watching the movie show and margaret said she walked out of it, and David gave it 1 star. I'm not really into the scary movie genre, but Zahid, disgusting parts aside, is it worth $11:30?

Please don't mention the Aeneid :p. As a Latin student, I have had to learn 415 lines of Book 4 for the HSC. But yeah, dulce et decorum est is so powerful and sad. All of Owen's poems are.

Dulce et Decorum est by Wilfred Owen Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But...

bowling for columbine sounds fine. Also watch Media Watch when it comes back on next year. David Marr does a really good job of chasing after people who lie in the media. Read overseas newspapers online, like www.guardian.co.uk and www.independent.co.uk. I found some stuff there as well...

really??? Like wow! :p God, these best schools things are so dodgy. Why criteria do they judge it on? Our school won something from the Australian. can't remember what, but our principal got the award printed on this big piece of material and hung it outside the school so the people...

1984 is fantastic. Reading it makes me see parallels with today, esp in the US, where the FBI can check libraries to see what people are reading, among other examples. The thought police have been unleashed.

Soz Minai, I did mean subjects. Thanks! (I think I'll stick to arts though :p)

asq, why would it be easier to get a D in commerce? And Minai, what do you do in your first year of commerce (my preferences are arts and law degrees at various unis by the way)

Is that what Cain's doing now? He came to our school once, to promote this charity ball. He thought it would be just yr 11's and 12's, but it turned out he had to speak to our whole-school assembly. These really annoying yr 8's behind us started going, "Omg, Scott Cain's soooooo hot."...

Really? Cos I brought my pencil case in. At our school the supervisors checked all the non-clear pencil cases and gave us warnings etc

lol. eurovision is this really entertaining song contest where representatives from various european countries compete. there's a weird scoring system, but some great performances. they show it on SBS every year ABBA won it in 1970-something for waterloo

Monday night's episode was the first I'd ever watched. The Ben and Michael relationship will turn out to be an interesting one. I haven't watched the British version, but apparently that one's better. And yes, Brian is one hot guy :D

Backstreet Boys! I remember dancing to them in yr 6, *shudders* 5ive, boyzone, all those boybands.

Yeah, I love Wilfred Owen's poems, especially dulce et decorum est, and it almost made me cry when I read he died in battle two weeks before Armistice. lol for the wording, but unfortunately people are gonna learn the hard way there is no glory and they're all pawns in a quest for power and...

Half a million??? Holy Shit! Looked like they spend a thousand on it at the most. It was sooooo tacky! But it'll be the number one hit anyway, bad video clip or not.

cambridge is pretty challenging, but if you can get your head around it, you'll be fine. maths in focus does at least explain the topic clearly. Our school gave us Jones and Couchman, which isn't too bad either, though the bad thing is they never gave solutions to questions which require proofs...

but rukawasan is a wonderful person, therefore only superlatives can do him justice. :p dulce et decorum est pro patria mori- horace- it is sweet and proper to die for one's country

hmmm. I didn't know that either. Thanx Laz!

I can't stand rap or any bands who sing songs in which every second word is fuck or motherfucker, and how women are all bitches, sluts and hos. And also female pop singers who have no talent and might as well be naked considering the outfits they wear.
