george clooney will be with me when i win an oscar

i am deeply disturbed by brett lee's attempts at singing in a bollywood manner. the first time i saw his music video i thought it was a joke ... one of those little cricket adverts that have been prancing around our screens. it was not.

i have never been this angry with the media. the stupid little university newspaper at wits (which we were all encouraged to join when i did journalism, but declined for very obvious reasons) has published one of the most self important, unethical little piece of twaddle i have ever seen.
background info - we at wits have started a darfur genocide campaign. one of the leaders of the campaign - the instigator , a lovely girl called caylee - just so happens to be jewish. OH NO - shouts the vuvuzela, this MUST be a religious issue and so they proceeded to turn it into a jewish vs palestinian debate. the stupid little reporter - Farhana Ismail- tried to create a story where there was no story. and what she has done hs negative consequences for us and i think i will now make sure that her unethical journalistic practices has the same negative impacts on her 'journalism' 'career' ... i'm seething. stupid little people irritate me.

oh a happy note - the other day shaks' mom was pondering things and looking out of her window and into the garden of their flat complex. she spotted a woman, crouching down, every so often looking up in suspicion and peering into other flats. shaks' mom called shaks and her dad and they all looked at her

"i think she might be eating sand!" said shaks' mom

the rest of the family dispelled that theory ... i mean, who eats sand? shaks' dad called down to her to ask if she was ok and she nodded and ran away

a few days later shaks' mom saw the woman, she was pregnant and carrying a cup of sand! a craving ;)

and to end - wits has forced me to deregister as a masters coursework student and register as a 2 year research student. i now have a supervisor who thinks i should contact george clooney to see if he wants to be in my documentary when i go to the sudan. and he wants me to thank him in my oscar acceptance speech. i like my supervisor ;)
