| After 718 hours in the house together, tonight's eviction round is between "pretty boy Rex" and "heart-breaker Jen". Is it the end for Jen? or is it Rex the -ex (housemate)?, they ask. Rex had been hoping to be nominated this week. There was talk that he was getting bored in the house. Jen's mum confirmed that Jennifer had "always been a hit with the boys".
Jennifer receives votes from Darnell, Kathreya, Lisa, Mohamed, Rachel and Rex. Whilst Rex’s nominations came from Dale, Luke, Mario, Michael, Rebecca and Stuart.
Early this morning Luke, Mario and Lisa were gossiping about Kathreya. Luke recounted the time Kathreya confided in him that she had pretended to sleep so she could listen in to Sylvia and another housemate (it might have been Stuart). The group took a dim view of that. Mario thought that Kathreya was just putting on an act in projecting her "happy" persona and that child-like wonderment (my words). He mocked her for making that announcement that she had learnt a new word "dignity" and that she spelt it as "dinity" - all this he thought was part of that act. Later that afternoon in the garden, they continued bitching about her.
Apparently, three new female housemates will enter the house tonight.
As I post, Jen is evicted. | comments: Leave a comment   |
| Hey,
I'm going to Iceland in August and have a few questions...
First, I plan on getting a tattoo while there and am not sure which place is the best. Awhile back i got a link to what seemed to be known as the *best* place but I don't even remember the name of it now. I figure I better book soon?
Second, what's the deal with the SIM card? I have Verizon here in the states, but didn't even consider bringing my phone until i read about getting a SIM card... but can I then hook up to their wireless network? And dial internationally? Is this expensive?
Third, my friend and I are going to be camping (backpacking) for the most part with maybe a few nights in hostels. Any advice about camping? I'm not an experienced camper by any means but we plan on keeping it pretty simple. Is there a fee to camp? Is it best to camp on a campground as opposed to somewhere quasi-randomly?
Thank you! | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| "Desperate Guy Ritchie begged Madonna to let him move to New York in a last-gasp bid to save their marriage. The film director was prepared to give up the life he loves in England for a chance at a reconciliation. But steely Madge told him in no uncertain terms: "You're not coming. I still want a divorce. Stay in London." [Mirror - Madonna snubs Guy Ritchie's begging offer of New York move]
Sad child-collector creepazoid Madge. Even if the rumours are true, who really cares? Ditch her, I say. If she's daft enough to want to divorce someone quite eligible like Ritchie, she needs her head examined. I pity her kids. If you're going to get married and have children, then stay together at least till they're a bit older! No child likes their parents to split up - and she's got almost half a dozen.
(Anyway it's none of my business) | | comments: Leave a comment |

| | Pleasant morning. Big fluffy white clouds and blue skies outside. Yesterday was a sick day really, with a runny nose all day. We did get on with some more work late in the evening. This morning my nose started dripping the moment I got up from bed. Luckily, it has stopped. So perhaps I can get on with things today. I am going to try and update my project entries. A lot has been done since my last proper update (Monday 23rd). "A week is a long time in Project Home" (sadly it seems to take a week to do two days' work!) It's been quite a successful week, doing the finishing touches. It is of course an expensive way of going about things (doing things at a slow and somewhat leisurely pace), but we will recoup all the costs back, I have no doubt. It is not that we wish things to move slowly. It's just that we've been running out of steam! | | comments: Leave a comment |

| "I’ve always said that the pace of withdrawal would be dictated by the safety and security of our troops and the need to maintain stability. That assessment has not changed. And when I go to Iraq and have a chance to talk to some of the commanders on the ground, I’m sure I’ll have more information and will continue to refine my policies." ---- Obama
"During his presidential campaign, Obama has gone from the hard-edged, vocal opposition to Iraq that defined his early candidacy to more nuanced rhetoric that calls for the phased-out drawdown of all combat brigades that, at a rate of one or two a month, could take 16 months." [AP]
"Obama made the point plain two months ago: the President sets the strategic goals, and the generals carry out his orders. Period, full stop, as Obama himself said in a speech this week. Now suddenly Obama has decided that he should listen to the generals before setting the strategic goals, which is not just a flip-flop, but really an opening for a full-fledged abandonment of the position that won him the support of the netroots and the nomination. ........ By emphasizing stability and moving away from even the 16-month plan he had cited as “responsible”, he has all but adopted the John McCain position of no withdrawal without victory." [Source: Hot Air - O’Hanlon: Obama’s Iraq policy now “ambiguous”]
*sigh* this must be the the so-called "change we can believe in". Someone commented on that story: "I am getting a migraine just reading this." I must admit I haven't digested this properly yet, and I don't need migraine. I'll probably re-visit this issue in a future post. I've always had a sense that Obama's position on Iraq has at best been ambiguous anyway. He would just sanctimoniously bang on about how he had always opposed the Iraq war (unlike HRC who had voted for the Iraq war) - this was his USP, and it worked to some extent in creating the image that he was somehow untainted. (In truth, he wasn't even in the Senate when the vote on Iraq was held). | | comments: Leave a comment |
