Apparently I'm Grumpy Today

[meddow]

Umbridge reminds me of my dead Grandma. This for me is really disturbing.

I picked up a copy of The Whitcoulls List today while buying stationary, which is the top 100 best books as voted by people of New Zealand and The Da Vinci Code was number one. Come on people! IMHO, the only way you could possibly think The Da Vinci Code is the best book ever is if you have never actually read another book in your life. Screw International Puppyshipper Day or Gratuitous Sam Neill PicSpam day (I hope you haven’t forgotten gunderpants, I've been looking forward to it); what we really need an International Attack Dan Brown day.

However, if this is what the majority of the country thinks that is a good book, it could explain why National is leading in the polls.

This may be quite possibly the stupidest thing I ever say, but I really hate writing introductions for academic essays. My lecturers demand that I put my conclusion in them. But it’s so counterintuitive. If I give away the ending in the first paragraph, then why would anyone bother to read the rest of it? (You know, other than the fact that they are getting paid to mark it).
