'...if my people don't know they've got this power, then I think this is the best possible outcome- because we're the most unlikely people on Earth to use it' -[Jack West Jr., from 'Seven Ancient Wonders']



That quote is from Matthew Reilly's latest book, "Seven Ancient Wonders," and almost definitely his best one yet. Of course it has nothing to do with the fact that M.R. has finally honoured his roots with an Aussie character.

That kicks ass!

lol

Well he does, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves intense action and adventure. It's like Indiana Jones setting The DaVinci Code on fire [much to my satisfaction] and making it inexplicably and incredibly better.

I know I'm mostly talking to Harley here, but you should all investigate. For those of you in England, [and I'm assuming the rest of Europe, bar France...still...wonder why, lol] it will have the same cover and title. America [stupid PR people I believe were behind this] have given it a dodgy "shock/aweZ" cover and the title "7 Deadly Wonders"

Yes, it is actually spelt with a "7." Don't know why they didn't go the whole hog and call it "7 DEDLY SINZORZ!"

Oh well, there's no accounting for taste.

Excuse me while I prattle off. I have finally finished my examination period for this year and have before me the welcoming arms of 3 months of simply Liam brain function. No educational motive nor hand shall have control over my head, thank you very much.

I am fairly/very confident about the first four exams, but I am not certain about my last one today, my PCB242 Organic Chemistry. I have mixed feelings about it. In retrospect, I am inexplicably [fond of this word today, dunno why] pleased with it. I may pass, I will pass. I don't want to repeat the subject!

x.x;

I'm planning to sell my body to Supanews over the holidays so I can save for various items. The most important one on the list is the dreaded AAMI Car Insurance, which isn't much considering how much I plan to work. Also I want to save money for my mission, but christmas presents can be demanding on zee wallet.

Lack of time restrictions also means I can finally finish this SYF post. It's good, it has my seal of approval ^_^

Karen and I are going well, and I actually do have photos [finally, I hear you say] So here they are:





Huzzah!

Okay, I'm sleepy. I just got back from Dreamworld [best way to celebrate the end of exams] where I went from 7pm to 10pm...and I got home at 12am.

It's now 01:17am...sleepy. Have work tomorrow..
