Just some Things

There are a few things on my mind this evening. First of all is, I went to church for the first time in rather a while (little bit of a shame face) and the sermon was pretty good. It was challenging, and I have decided to take up a particular part. In his style, our senior minister had a friend of his up on stage to interject his sermon on Jeremiah, with anecdotes about his own life, his work in Africa (Tanzania) and his comparison of the fat old priests of Jeremiah's time to us - the people who eat chocolate that has come from the hands of child labour. Yes, I thought - What! But all , like Cadbury's, Nestle etc. are using the beans supplied by third world countries that use child labour.
So, I'm making a personal step to irradicate evil chocolate from my life. Big step from me. Fair trade for me.

Second, I'm watching The Devil Wears Prada sideways. But lets face it, Miranda Priestly is faskinating. And I like the clothes, much like Sex & the City.

Kyle and Jackie O have been indefinetely suspended. Why that was not instantaneous is not CLEAR TO ME, but at least a step has been taken. Sexual assault is horrid and very very personal for the victim. And this victim was 14 yrs old. Supposedly still under the protection of her mother, who thought it was a good idea to get her child on national radio. ['scuse my language] WHAT THE FUCK???

I know that millions (I hope, really) of others will discuss this on various medias, but these types of things hurt.

Rant over. For now.
