Oops my bad, I listened to this one ;)
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

'What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us.'

Also I received my myki in the mail, I think the design on the back is quite cute. Printing quality on the front side, however, doesn't seem to be that great, but I guess they were already $300million over budget haha.

Been spending today attacking homework, it's been half succesful, well i was, until I turned on the computer ;D

Love Lisa.
PS. here is the pano sylvia advised me to take, unfortunately my sloppy photos have caused it to come out very distorted
