Today Dave Gold­ing asked me this ques­tion:
Are you a writer?
My answer at the time was that I lack the ded­i­ca­tion to write. By that I mean that I would like to be a writer, but don’t actu­al­ly do much writ­ing.
So at best I’m a wannabe writer. Per­haps I should do some­thing about this…

Hav­ing now watched the first episode of Buffy sea­son 6 twice I can say this. Buffy rocks.

In stan­dard prepa­ra­tion for tonights air­ing of the first episode of the lat­est sea­son of Buffy I watched the last two episodes of sea­son five again tonight.
Is it just me or does it get real­ly bleary near the end of the last episode for every­one else too?

Not an easy movie to watch. Which is why you should watch it.
This movie shows just one sto­ry of three abo­rig­i­nal girls that were forcibly removed from their moth­ers and assim­i­lat­ed into white cul­ture, but the girls decid­ed it was­n’t for them and so walked 1200 miles home.
An extreme­ly mov­ing and pow­er­ful sto­ry, made all the worse because it is true.
If you want to tru­ly know what the phrase “Stolen Gen­er­a­tion” means watch this film.
And if all that isn’t enough, it is pho­to­graph­i­cal­ly beau­ti­ful.
Watch it once, for once is drain­ing enough for any per­son.
Makes one embar­rassed to be Aus­tralian. Embar­rassed to live in a coun­try where the gov­ern­ment does­n’t even have the balls to say “sor­ry”.

Why would God that is free to do any­thing, and able to do any­thing be lim­it­ed by some­thing as sim­ple as log­ic?
Why can’t God cre­ate a square cir­cle or make 1 + 1 = 72? These are only impos­si­bil­i­ties due to our small notions of the way things work.
