Like I said, my hands started shaking after a week and I got a headache on my little no-carb diet. So I looked up Atkins diet on the internet and well first there's the "Atkins Nutrional Approach" which is covered in trademarks and yukky excessive commercialism. Then there's the Atkins Alert page backed by supporters of vegetarianism which tells you about a sixteen year old girl who suddenly collapsed and died from a heart arythmia on the Atkins Nutrional Approach; then there's a cute little cartoon which bags it all out.

And for more crap to write down during my relaxing/empty Saturday after my first really tough 13-hour working week, I am reading Great Expectations at the mo and man I don't know if it's because I'm trying to sound smart appreciating a classic or because really think so, but I really think this book rocks. I totally knew it wasn't Miss Havisham who did it.
Other attempts at being intellectual include reading the more boring aticles on SMH and thinking about them in the bigger scheme of things. Like, they're trying to say that moving out of the cities and repopulating Australia's country towns is the next big thing i.e. it's now cool to live in the country SO DO IT!
