friezaess | In which we discuss important issues, like imitation cow parts.

I wish we had Tofurkey in Australia, it looks freaking awesome. That said, I really wanna check out a new vegetarian place at Mt Gravatt that has lots of Chinese dishes like "beef" and black bean and sweet and sour "pork". Anyone want to "check it out"?

A recent incident at work experience amused me. Newspapers are typically left wing and Quest often has articles about multiculturalism/diversity/brown people/etc. So when we went out to interview people in the street, I found it ironic how they wouldn't interview anyone but whities. As in, when I tried to approach "people of colour", I was told not to bother with them, even when the streets were barren and we were desperate for quotes. Happened like five times. O lawd.

Speaking of all things newsy, since when did the phrase "climate change sceptic" (YES IT'S SPELLED WITH A C, GODDAMMIT PEOPLE) become synonymous with "fire-breathing Nazi Polpot"? I've always figured that people on both sides of the debate have a lot of money at stake and thus take everything surrounding the debate with a grain of salt, but damn... I mean, I'm all for planting trees and shit, but apparently being against an $1100 p.a. tax hike means you are a conservative old man who wants to own 20 four wheel drives and nuke the whales.

Oh well, we'll all die in 2012 anyway I guess.

Anyway. Time to see if there's anything on Mbok worth splurging on.
