Spy in the distance, looking through the furniture. 5. Make sure you don't miss out on any of the computers on the lowest tier of the library or the distant laptop rooms. Strike while they're alone and not in group work! 8. While waiting near a squeamish looking person, talk loudly on the phone about how you've been using the lip balm of your friend who was just diagnosed swine flu. Then start coughing dramatically, splattering tomato sauce and mustard packets over the screen of the computer user. Labels: sci-tech library, sydney, sydney uni, sydney university Posted by tonch at

Unique Sydney Art
We've probably seen every possible angle in existence of Sydney Harbour, which was why teenage Malaysian artist Ping Lian Yeak's interpretations are so refreshing. I love how chaotic it is. Find out more at this website.

Australia's Next Top Model
Season 5 started many weeks ago, but only now can I start doing recaps on it. I'll start with tonight's episode in a few days. But right now I'll talk generally about the latest batch of doughy cupcakes.
Adele - Quiet acheiver. I just hope she can solve the problem of her wombat nose before the end of the competition.
Cassi - Wow! She looks like Russian royalty, but then she opens her mouth and she sounds like British royalty. If ONLY she had a brain.... I don't think she can tidy up her walking-in-screaming-at-girls-showering-naked behaviour - but who knows. I'm sure we all wish Tyra would sit down with her for a 'rap session'.
Tyra: "When I was in Paris, all the models there were all like 'oh mah gawd, tyra you so fiiiine' so Cassi, LISSSTEN and you will LEAARRRN."
Madison - I was so sad to she her go! When everyone would sit around bitching, she was all 'Who wants lasagne?" ... who'll make them lasagne now? But how McCleods daughters two-part finale was her exit footage in the ute looking out on the desert?
Lola - She's a grinny little thing isn't she? With not one times, not two times.... but NINE times the cheekiness. All I see when I look at her is the Gilmore Girls woman, but I like her. I love how she kitsches it up for the interview parts. "YES! I don't know whoooo will go.. oooh"
Laura - She seems nice, and lucks into a shot now and then. But her face seems a little bit jowly... no? She'll probably go soon.
Tahnee - Occupation: School Leaver?? Anyway, such a sweet little thing - sometimes I have to check the station that it's not Totally Wild at St Mary Public School in Queensland for a report on a recycling and rainforests. On the one hand i like how surprisingly fashon she looks in photo shoots, on the other hand she has a mouth like a rusty lawn mower. Crisis.
Clare - I feel like she's the daughter of older parents... I don't know why. Her face is a bit smudgy and Mr Potato Head but she arranges it well on shoots... plus she has a very sophisticated walk for a 16 year old. But somehow I think she'd be better as a creepy receptionist in a naturopath health centre.
That's all? Wow time flies.
What do you think of them all? Cassi? Add a comment...

Sydney University's spanking new SciTech library has a fantastic design - it's a big evolution from the uber 70s Fisher... with its uber 80s style:
2. Be a ninja
3. Everyone runs off to class at around 5 to any hour, so the clogs of people should start to treacle off around then. But it's also the time when everyone else finishes class - so time is of the essence before floods of economic group work students rampage in talking about 'who wants to present' ughhhh
6. People seem to think that leaving your open book and water bottle at the computer is enough to reserve it. Feel free to shove all their crap to the ground and sit there browsing eel porn sites on their account. When they kick you off, report their marine fetish in tears to the librarian.

Sydney Opera House Lights Up!
To celebrate Vivid Festival that lasts until June 14, Sydney's Harbour has been vomited upon:
Thanks to my dodgy phone pics taken at night, you'd think I photoshopped everything but this is what it really looks like. It's pretty cool. Most european cities have these kind of light festivals, and now I feel that our 14,000km from Europe is not so far at all... (don't ask me what I think when I'm DVTing my ankles)
It's definitely worth checking out if you're down Circular Quay way. There's also some smoky effects that send across the harbour, and some other buildings like Custom's House illuminated.

What is happening to Ian Ross' Face?
I heard you have to be ruthless to survive in the media, but who said anything about absorbing the essence of graduates interns to preserve your youth? Apparently, Ian Ross did. Is it plastic surgery? Or is it Proactive SKINCARE Solution - the revolutionary skin care solution promoted by Jessica Simpson? Or is it something else. Let's have a history lesson and examine.
This is Ian Ross... in 90s - you can almost make out the features of the Channel 7 newsreader.
Ian Ross in 2001: Things are looking a little foundationy up in here... the eyes have been sold to foreign vendors, but the rest remains.
Ian Ross in 2005 - any harder and numerous chasms will creak their arrival yawn. Don't get me started on his eyebrows - they look unhappy compared to the above picture :(
In my thorough research I made an astounding discovery, Wikipedia told me that Ian Ross was born in 1940!!! He's almost SEVENTY! I for one am happy that men feel the pressure to look young, while Anne Sanders gets pushed into the mud and stomped on by Chris Bath whenever she has a birthday.
