HIM'S cover of Turbonegro's 'Rendezvous with Anus" is unreal... and the Nirvana version of Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" on the Unplugged in New York CD

bwaaahahahaha.... third in the state in german, and i spent more time listening to rammstein than studying dear old deutsch.... the system works!

the creative was rather random... but i think the only reason they used that picture was because the dude in it was writing. the question said something like "use this lameo, irrelevant picture as a stimulus for a piece of creative writing about the composition of an important piece of writing"...

yeah, the older stuff just seems more raw... but rosenrot is still a pretty awesome record! it's like HIM's new record dark light, they're never going to come out with another razorblade romance, but it still kicks ass! mad props to anyone else who's going to see them in march!

thank god for that... i'm not versed in emoticon analysis, does anyone know if that is going to be included in the amended syllabus?

haha yeah, listening to rammstein was basically my practise for the trial and hsc... good on me. i plan to be studying in germany in 2008, which is going to be awesome... rock am ring in july, oktoberfest in september, voting angela merkel out, rocking halloween gigs at bran castle in romania...

okay, instead of a debate about "typo fascism", i think a discussion of what was published in the article would be better... how about we just attribute all of the typos to titivillus? when the monks were printing bibles and other great tomes in their monasteries, they invented a demon who...

you have to be joking. can you honestly say, without wanting to kick your own arse, that your understanding of the world has been expanded (heh) because you did hsc english?

the whole selection and emphasis thing is relevant, it's what the module is about: how texts represent powerplay. for example in a&c, shakespeare deliberately uses cleopatra to show how women's power is resented by men. so he's SELECTED her as a character, so to speak, to prove his point. and he...

well... points for originality, i guess

and are you guys saying that you wrote about transformations which aren't even in the syllabus? or are these different modules? because if it is transformations, again, WHAT THE HELL? did you guys just not go to class at all, and decide that you know simple plan songs more than the set texts...

why would you write a speech in the first place? the syllabus isn't explicit about anything, but the fact that you're required to write an essay is implied. the only reason why they ask for any other text type is to add an extra layer of testing to the exam. if they don't specify a text type...

you're a champ. the current system isn't a test of intelligence, it's a test of whether one is able to learn crap by rote, and then be able to reproduce it in response to whatever shallow argument is presented by the exam question. intelligence isn't being able to write essays within a...

if the vast majority of people fuck up a question, then the standard will be lower, and so scaling will sort it out anyway. instead of bitching at each other on a lameo forum, why don't you guys go study? that's a novel concept

well, it's important to remember that the play is not set in england but in norway. that said, the ways of thinking about the role of women in society were not too different, so you can bludge a bit. i don't know the criteria for the task, but your characters are limiting somewhat. because the...
