Jarrah's Uplink

Link first: Gone with the Blast Wave a short comic, full of black humour.

Then rant:

Well, for those American readers, which we've had rather more of than usual lately, if my statcounter is to be believed, yesterday was Australia day, where we Australians celebrate... actually, I haven't a clue what its all about. Mostly it seems to be about standing around in the hot sun, humming the national anthem (because nobody can remember anything after the first verse), watching somebody pull on some string so the flag goes up a pole, then retiring to the shade for tea and sandwiches.

I gave my alarm clock concussion, and thus slept through all that. What remained of the day what exceptionally boring, and I felt myself being somewhat envious of my friend John, who had an Australia day barbeque with friends. Lucky git.

Oh well, here's hoping the coming weeks, with uni and work and all that other guff are more enjoyable than the past few days.

Addendum: R.I.P. Heath Ledger. He served as a visual base for Jamen, once, long ago, and he'll be missed.

John's Uplink

It's not often that there comes an actor truly talented enough to take on any role; from romantic lead in a gay cowboy movie, to the twisted nemesis of a superhero; and fill it with grace and character. The cinematic industry lost such an actor in the late Heath Ledger, whose deft touch and acting ability graced the silver screen for but a brief while. Rest in peace.
