philosophic ramble of the day

From the grand master that is Dr. Seuss:

"Be who you are and say what you feel. Because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."

Everyone together now: AWWWWWW.

Today was quite a day for women in politics, with Carmel Tebbutt now Deputy Premier for NSW and Quentin Bryce (rather odd name for a woman if I may say so but anyway...) Australia's first female governor, and yet should these things really be such a milestone in our political history? Is it still so rare and unexpected to see women in power, or should am I just taking this the wrong way and should simply celebrate the fact that they have deservedly 'made it'?

Not finished with the topic: French war photographer Francoise Demulder died aged 61 today, being the first woman to receive the coveted World Press Photo award, which you can see here

And something that I read about and struck me the other day:

Imagine two years. Does that seem long to you? It may be, if you're going to sit in jail all by your lonesome for two years.

Or maybe it's not long enough. Two years isn't much time if the apocalypse came in 2010. Think of the things you wanted to do, and never could.

Einstein once said that everything is relative. Which it is. So have some perspective people.

And now...what about that chemistry exam?
