Something random I noticed yesterday; you know how when you get your left and right mixed up, and you say "the OTHER left"... I don't think I've EVER heard anyone say "the other RIGHT". 0.o

I am so fangirling Kevin Rudd (leader of the Opposition) atm. Srsly. Not only did he speak FLUENT MANDARIN to the Chinese President Hu Jintao (and was complimented by him on his PERFECT Mandarin and invited (and possibly not our Prime Minister) to the OLYMPICS, AHAHAHA), he had a 10 minute meeting with George Dubbya that ended up lasting 45 minutes. In which he stood his ground and FIRMLY said that when if he is elected at the end of the year, Australian troops will be out of Iraq by June next year (however, we're in Afghanistan for the long haul as we SHOULD have been THERE in the first place, unlike Iraq).

*fangirls* I mean, I don't agree with him on a lot of things on a personal level, but his party policies (cept Forestry in Tasmania, but seeing as what happened last time, I don't blame him), and his strength is totally making me go weak at the knees.

ILU KEVIN07. <3

On that note this from stuff.co.nz:
Mr Bush, in Australia to attend the Apec (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) summit of world leaders, took to the stage at the Sydney Opera House this morning and thanked Prime Minister John Howard for his introduction and for being such a "kind host" for the Opec (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries) summit.
"I mean Apec summit," he said.
"I've been invited to the Opec summit next year.
"The Apec summit."
The faux pas brought laughter from his audience inside the auditorium.
White House aides later said Bush was joking and would not, in fact, attend an Opec summit.
Mr Bush also stumbled over his pronunciation of Jemaah Islamiah, the regional terror network.
And in another miscue, he botched the host country's name, referring to Mr Howard's visit to Iraq in 2006 as a thank-you to "the Austrian troops there."

So apparently we've shut down Sydney for OPEC (which George Bush isn't even ATTENDING and is in BELGIUM), and we're now not Australia, but AUSTRIA. 0.o Wow. This is the most powerful man in the world. Srsly. That's FOUR mistakes in ONE speech. HOW was this man elected?!! I mean, I may not like John Howard, but dude... at least he's INTELLIGENT. >.> HAHA.

ALSO. You know that poll that I did the other day? The site it was on, "The Chaser's War on Everything", well the guys who make that TV show got past TWO APEC SECURITY CHECK POINTS... in a CANADIAN motorcade, with the "INsecurity Company" and "JOKE" written on their IDs, WITH ONE OF THEM DRESSED UP AS OSAMA BIN LADEN. 0.o LMFAOOOOOO XDDDDDDDDDDDDD I love Australia. So freaking much. Srsly. This is THE BEST comedy stunt EVER. You can read more here.

Chris Taylor of The Chaser told the Sydney Morning Herald there was "no particular reason" they had chosen Canadian flags. "We just thought they'd be a country who the cops wouldn't scrutinise too closely, and who feasibly would only have three cars in their motorcade - as opposed to the 20 or so gas-guzzlers that Bush has brought with him."

Morrow [another member of The Chaser] denied the stunt was irresponsible and a danger to public safety.
"I wouldn't think so. Hard to say ... lucky it was us and not al-Qaeda," he told ABC Television.

BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA. This is so great. There was also a peaceful protest again George Bush in Sydney today. Excellent. AH I'm so happy XDDDDD

I couldn't wait for the next episode of Dr Who, so I watched the rest of the series on TV-Links, and OMG. Buffy makes me proud to be a woman, but Dr Who makes me proud to be a HUMAN. HAHA. XDDDDD

Everyone go and check out Sullen-Skrewt... she is PHENOMINAL. I LOVE her Tonks and Bella... and her Mollywobbles is GREAT :D

Also, I'm totally addicted to inell's Teddy/Hermione story, "Worth the Risk", but she just did a Scorpius/Rose INTERLUDE, in which they're both in Ravenclaw, and talking about their mothers would get on so well. OMG. So my canon. XDDDDDD

I bought FIVE tops yesterday (one has an emo kid cartoon on it and says "Cheer up, Emo kid!" XDDDD and two are Old School Star Wars and one is one that I'm going to revamp for Remus and Tonks). And I also bought Pink's "I'm Not Dead" album. And Bend it Like Beckham. >.> XDDDD

And finally... Pavarotti... :(

Peace,
