Mid-semester break

Not a moment too soon, I've got a week off from uni. There's plenty of stuff to catch up on but before getting onto that boring stuff I decided to head down to Kiama for a couple of days. Pretty much the usual, but a few things are worth blogging.

I went to the blowhole on Sunday for nothing much else to do. It wasn't doing much despite the wind. As I was coming back to my car there were a couple of seagulls flying near my car, but because the wind was blowing so hard they were stationary in the air, which was pretty funny. I remember once in primary school I was hanging out with a friend of mine at lunch or whatever and we saw a pigeon flying sideways because of the wind and we pissed ourselves laughing. While one of these seagulls was hovering above the car next to mine I snapped a few photos.

I wandered into the bookshop a bit later and checked out what was around. With exams looming darkly on the horizon I don't have much time for reading, but I bought a copy of Ender's Game anyway. I've heard good things about it and I've not been reading much recently (well not in dead tree format anyway - I've been reading a few good books by email). Hopefully I'll finally be able to appreciate this xkcd strip, continuing in my tradition of learning enough to understand xkcd strips long after I first read them.

I saw WALL-E too, but I'll put that in a separate post.
