Off To School Tommorow
Tommorow's school so I'm resting. Again. Actually I was suprised at how busy the holidays there has literally been no day since about late December that has been uneventful. Which is kinda neat (but probably why my blogging has suffered). I'm glad to say that I am fully refreshed and rejuvenated for the next (horrors) school year which is lucky because as all students know, the school year comes around unstoppinly and inescapingly. (Here the monster comes, ready or not). That's one of the advantages of living in Australia, the holidays are designed intelligently. The holidays that are just about to end are designed to be just long enough to get refreshed but not long enough to forget everything and become extremely bored. It's the same as the christmas holidays so the year and the school year is pretty much the same, then the school year is broken up into four terms, each one seperated by a 2 week break.
I went to a friends place yesterday and brought home a few Cd's so I could add to my Mp3 players aging amount of songs. Unfortunatly I fogot to bring my headphones home so right now I'm listening to them all on the computer. Had to buy new schools so I told the person which one's I want so Mum can buy them later when she gets back from work. Then I checked to see if the Blue's Brothers (that movie as well as The Godfather has kept on popping up in my life over the holidays so I figure I really should see it) so I will probably borrow that and watch it tonight.
A week or so ago I had went to St. Vinnies in search of a Bowler Hat (one of those old, gentleman hat otherwise known as a Mafia hat) they had one, but it was sold on that day. Talk about unlucky. So today I decided to give them my phone number so that if they ever get one again (unlikely as they say it is) they can ring me up and I'll be right down there. I wonder how much they cost? I don't know how reliable their system is for that sort of thing, but hopefully a couple of years down the track I'll get that blissfull call and get a Bowler Hat. I'll defintely post about it here when or if it happens.
Anyway I just remembered that I had to watch the premiere of 24 which I video while I was watching another show. And I would just like to say that from now on most of my efforts in this place will be focused on my novel (which i got a name for now :D) so check on here every now and again but check on my story the most. Any suggestions for the story are welcomed.
And on another note, check out this site: http://www.planetfusion.co.uk/~pignut/cheese.html

Let the World Know That Hazelton Takes its Laws Seriously!
Hazleton has laws (currently pending because of a lawsuit) that strictly ban illegal imigrants. Someone out there has realised that a certain man breaks those laws, and want to stop him. The following are extracts from the website: http://www.nosantaforhazleton.com/welcome.html
Press Realease:
December 19, 2006For Immediate Release
PA Town to Ban Santa Because He is Undocumented Worker
The people of Hazleton, PA are proud to announce a citizen-organized public awareness campaign called "No Santa for Hazleton." The campaign will use Santa Claus' status as America's most-loved illegal worker to demonstrate Hazleton's new "zero tolerance" policy toward illegal aliens.
Hazleton has been at the forefront of the War on Immigration since this past summer, when, in response to a surge in illegal immigration, the city passed its “Illegal Immigrant Relief Act." The public response was immediate and overwhelmingly positive. Mayor Lou Barletta’s heroics gained the town national attention, including appearances on '60 Minutes' and CNN’s 'Lou Dobbs Tonight.' Following Hazelton’s example, over 30 other towns across America have passed or are considering similar laws to drive out illegal immigration and labor.
This Christmas, a grassroots coalition of concerned citizens and elected officials have come together to conduct a public awareness campaign against the nation’s most prominent undocumented worker: Santa Claus. The group intends to keep Santa out of Hazleton this Christmas, as he represents everything the town has rallied around Mayor Barletta to oppose. According to the Mayor, "We are waging a war of culture, and Santa is a dangerous idea whose reign must be put to an end."
The group's website lists the following evidence against Santa Claus:
•Santa is not an American nor is he legally recognized for residency or occupational purposes in this country. Oblivious to this fact, millions of Americans delight in inviting him into their homes and allowing him to work unsupervised every year. Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable to his costume and demeanor.
•Santa does not work alone, but employs hundreds to thousands of elves in what are clearly described as sweatshop or slave labor-type conditions. This takes jobs away from honest and hard-working Americans who play by the rules.
Appearing unlawfully for too long to remember, Santa Claus has come to represent a range of labor practices that undercut the American workforce in favor of unfair foreign competition or informal domestic laborers. Across America, the economies of small cities like Hazleton have been decimated as a result.
For further information, the group has launched a website, www.NoSantaForHazelton.com, which will serve as a resource for the town and a model for other towns to adopt in a national movement. The website will be used to collect donations to air a television advertisement the group has prepared, but includes additional features such as tips for parents to talk to their children about Santa, and an internet action tool for people of all ages to send letters to Santa asking him to stay away. In Hazleton, as the No Santa For Hazleton looks boldy to the future, this Christmas promises to be like no other.

Santa and Pranks (two more links I found recently)
These are just some other links I found yesterday.
I am proud of the Air Services Australia for working so closely with Santa Clause in making safer flights and sleigh for him. You can find out all of Santa's recent media releases, the proposed (and excepted by some international board) flight path, the training program he himself uses etc. You can find the media releases here.
This is a website I recently found called the museum of hoaxes and is really good.

Links
I (obvisouly) haven't been able to think of anything to put on my blog for a while now, and have just recently figured out that some of my ideas ie: the video's I was talking about has an expiry date in my mind for how long I am enthuisastic about an idea. I can generally 'refind' my enthusiasm so I will- when I can be bothered. Um, Last night Mum got a new phone (the latest Sony Ericson because of my clever diplomacy) so she gave me her old one to replace my broken one. Which is fine, but it means I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO PLAY THE PROPER SNAKE ALMOST FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE (snake xerxia or something) which is a pity. So, anyway, I thought I would post some less well-known links to some great websites that you might be interested in. By the way did anyone hear that the actor that plays Raymond's Dad (in everybody loves Raymond) is dead?
