One more exam to go. Gaah. Can't wait for it to be over. Starting to lose it. So bad that I'm procrastinating from my usual procrastination of going through the student network with blogging.
Chaser's War on Everything (Wednesdays, 9 pm on ABC) is such a funny show! Funniest show in all Australia!* I was watching some of the earlier episodes of season two on the network, and there was a parody on the "Lose yourself in Melbourne" advertisement.
This is the original Ad. Slightly pretentious little thing, but in a really (really) charming way. The girl in there is kinda hot too.
And click
here for the parody. The Chaser boys in an Ad RoadTest segment (where they take an advertisement's premise and see how it plays out in real life. good stuff.)

*Doesn't seem take a lot of effort to be the funniest show on Australian television. Everything else just seems bland. Or so I thought at first.
Then I discovered
Wilfred (series about a girl, her boyrfriend and a talking dog who's really a man in dogsuit but only the boyfriend seems to notice this). Absurdist and funny as.
(as? as what? I saw this phrase in a JB Hi-fi catalouge :"cheap as." Just that. cheap as. period. is that an Australian thing? comparable with the filler "like" and "uhm". Or a shortened version of a phrase so common [cheap as chips?] that it need not be said in full? Or perhaps a sanitized spelling of ass, cheap ass! cheap ass? yes, please.)

I hope by this time you've seen the two loopy videos. If not, please do so now.
Meanwhile, I spy a massive
Bloomsday group outside my window. Its that James Joyce fandom thing celebrating his links with the Jesuits. Here I am trying to study and they're bloody singing and dancing.
Noisy as. Would love to see them get lost. Somewhere else.
