Okay...so, whatever happened to weekends where one could just laze around and do nothing? I feel like I haven't really stopped doing things for the past two weeks. And they have FLOWN by...all of a sudden it's July???

What happened to June???

Also, July seemed very far away not that long ago and now it is basically here. On Tuesday.

Crazy...it's been so, so busy but really, really fun (if not stressful...)!

I'm in this place where I'm not very descriptive at the moment. It's weird. So often I get this feeling like I'm part of something so much bigger than me and I still don't know what that thing is. I don't know where my path leads at the moment...it's a little like blindness, but it's exciting as well.

boys...

Ugh...I don't know why I live with boys...they smell.

The Final of House

Watched the final of House MD (for the season!) and cried.

I don't need to warn anyone about SPOILERS, do I?? (Not sure where it's showed and not showed...definitely hasn't showed here yet...)

SPOILERS!!!!!

I never thought I'd cry at House. But the final (all two parts) was just insanely dramatic. I mean...look at the pictures:



What was even more incredible was that I just couldn't really imagine myself liking Amber. She'd always been such a b*tch to House - hence her name - but she really, really loved Wilson. The whole episode with the buying the new bed and putting up with the waterbed thing really built the whole thing up.

And the whole time you're wondering if she really did have an affair or one night with House when actually it was all his fault. GAHHH!!! I knew she was going to die - my flatmates are good like that...Smid told me that he almost cried when he watched it and Jem also said it was quite dramatic.

But the way she died and there being NOTHING the team could do to help her and Wilson being able to say goodbye...

Heart-wrenching.

And House and Cuddy....

She's holding his hand!!! And at the end where she's asleep on the chair next to him....you can't help thinking "Man she really cares for him!" And Wilson being in the room when House wakes up and the eye contact and then he leaves...

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT SEASON????

The whole House/Wilson friendship is on the line. And what will happen between House/Cuddy? The angst, the angst. Although I can see where the new season's going and I applaud the writers - now that they're not striking - for keeping it original.

But the very end, when Wilson gets into bed and he finds the note from Amber? My heart almost stopped. Seriously. I think I started crying all over again.

I love TV.

Talk about media saturation...

Man, I would suck as a reporter! I just get the feeling sometimes like no one really cares.

Petrol prices rising.

Low hydro lake levels.

Power cuts over winter.

People dying due to aforementioned power cuts.

Rising food prices.

Missing teenagers.

The list goes on. But it's a little too much sometimes. I think that we, on the whole, have lost the ability to be shocked. TV brings images of devastation, starvation, suffering and violence right into our lounges. So much stuff leeches into our subconscious that we don't even think about it anymore.

Meanwhile we all complain about the stuff that affects us - the fact that we have to get up twice as early so we can catch a bus into work because petrol has risen in price by 12% in a week, that we have the scour the papers/pamphlets to find good deals on cheap food, not turning any lights on to save power - but there's nothing we can do about it.

I would really be interested to hear if someone actually knew of a viable way in which:
1) petrol prices can come down
2) food can be less expensive

It's all supply and demand, isn't it? There is HUGE demand for petrol, so naturally the prices skyrocket. Meanwhile Joe Bloggs on the street gets hacked off because everything is so expensive and you end up with a situation like the riots in Spain.

So, is the free market all it's cracked up to be?

Something to think about, isn't it?
