The AC/DC movie is mainly about Bon Scott. It is called Thunderstruck.

Thunderstruck was recorded almost a decade after Bon died.

I really think John from karaoke needs to be involved in this. :)

I'm amazed one of the questions wasn't "Can I ride a kangaroo?"


I am soooooooooo jealous of David Attenborough. Just watched the first installment of Life of Mammals. He's there in this lil' dinghy of a boat and about 3 metres away there's this bloody BLUE WHALE!!! coming to the surface for a breath. Amazing. Not to mention the great footage of the Yapok and Platypus.

Gives me ideas for research. The yapok is the only aquatic marsupial and it is able to close off it's pouch so the babies don't drown. But as David commented, they must be close to suffocation by the time mum leaves the water. I wish there were the resources to research that. Perhaps this animal possesses some way of still transferring oxygen to the young? Or the young are specially adapted to not need so much air, what is this adaptation? There is so much we don't know, and I want to find out and know it just for the sheer sake of knowing. Why must knowledge always have a reason?

Went to the library again today.

Too many good books. I should write a list and read them in order and cross them off as I'm done. Then I will perpetually have books to read.

Got Chase out, should take me 5 minutes to read that one because it's quite short. Tis the last Koontz book I need to read, then I have read them all... until he releases something new that is.

Mum is watching Jerry Springer. The video screwed up and taped it instead of Days Of Our Lives. DOOL is marginally better but mum was like "oh I always wanted to see this show." So she's watching it.

Shit, people who endorse and support these sorts of shows should be sterilised. They should NOT be allowed to breed. One of the women on today was pregnant. I feel really really sorry for the kid who probably is going to grow up to be as dumb as it's parents.

Oh yeah, and don't you just love Jerry's little bullshit spiel at the end about how these people are acting like they are because they are hurt and that we should all love each other blah blah blah.

No, they are acting like that because they are DUMB!! You, Jerry are smart in a sick, sad kind of way because you've discovered how to make money of people's stupidity.

What is it about PMS??
Why do females feel the right to blame all their faults on PMS?

I have never experienced PMS, if I am being bitch it's because I'm being a bitch, not because I have PMS.

I really ponder what it is like to have genuine PMS...
