With some urgency




Please do sign the above petition. Hopefully I'll see you at the rally tommorow on the lawn of parliment house in the ACT.




Today I forgot my iPod, so I'm on the train listening to music on my laptop (with headphones). It is for this reason that I've found time to post.




An aside before I so even start; I recently joined the microblogging Twitter subculture.

I was in an educational psychology lecture; these are a very slow kind of lectrure that crawls along, turning slow circles such that over the course of an hour, nothing is really said, but unrealted examples are given. The lady sitting next to me distainfully pointed out one student who last lecture sat infront of her with his laptop charger plugged into the presenters concole, microblogging his way through the lecture on twitter.
At this point, I decided I should get a Twitter account, as I thought microblogging lectures was a great idea.
Due to a restriction on the number of characters, I couldn't get surroundsound5000 as my Twitter name, so I had to go with Surround5000.
Anyhow, Twittering is just like status updates on Facebook, but without the Facebook attatched. It seems to me a little silly to be randomly changing your status; to quote Adam Hills:
"Barry is at the Adam Hills show."
"Barry is laughing."
"Barry has stopped laughing."
"Noone likes barry."

It's a lot like that.




Finally, I was in Chatswood today, and noticed they have expanded their parking restrictions, but this is one for the better. In Chatswood Westfield, along with the Disabled parking and the Prams priority parking, they now have Hybrid vehicle only parking. I think it's a fantastic idea. In application, it's probably fairly pointless (if hybrid owners park in the convenient locations, and drivers of inneficient vehicles have to drive to the top level and lap the parking lot looking for a spot), but the idea is definately sound.




Also, if anyone has tips to improve my samosas, I'd appreciate them. Currently they're a little bland.

Peace,
M'

  1. You have to post your samosa 'recipe' here before I can give you suggestions - I don't know what they are like!

  2. They have vegies in them, like potatos, carrots, onions, peas, corn, garlic and ginger. And various curry powders, corriander, salt, pepper, tumeric etc. The pastry is made of flour, oil and water. I don't know the quantity, I just put in 'some'.

    That's my 'recipe'. And what they are like is bland.
