Prozac Nation?
GPs giving Prozac to thousands who don't need it..
Today I made the decision that I would adopt a newspaper. Coming from Perth with its great choice of papers (You can have any one as long as its the West Australian or Australian) I found having to pick a paper and therefore display to all to see my political and religious beliefs. You have right-wing, left-wing, upside down wing, tabloid, soft porn, conservative, liberal and far too many others to mention. Frankly it was a little too hard. So I stuck to grabbing the Metro on the tube and the TNT, both of which are paid advertisements.
So on the great road to adopting a British newspaper and becoming a little more interested in whats going on in this country - I thought I would try out the Times.
So far its not looking too bad but it immediately loses points for lack of star signs. It appears to be a relatively unbiased paper with some interesting articles on whats going on now as well as a decent arts section. Supposedly the travel section isnt too bad either. Tomorrow I think I shall give the Independant a go. Once I have a daily paper sorted - Ill need to pick a weekend paper. Phew.. Its all too hard.
Not much to report on the weekend.. watched Mystic River [2003] on Saturday, Went to a party Saturday night and didnt move most of Sunday.. This weekend its my birthday, and its my little brother's 18th birthday on Thursday. I wish I was home for it but will just have to keep myself busy. Going to see
Chicago which should be good and to Belgo for dinner. Even get to catch up with my housemate Liz, who I havent seen for 3 months. She has been in South America learning Spanish.. Lucky her!
Lunch time now... Wil try to remember to bring my photos to update that section...
