Children's Television and the Up and Coming Election.

Tonight, I should have been doing homework, in which I am quite behind, or at the very least trying to finalise the ordering of my senate votes. It's the first time I will ever vote in a federal election and I want to maximise my vote's implications. Parties I am considering giving my vote to include the Greens, the Australian Sex Party, the Secular Party, the Socialist Alliance, and Labor. The order of these (or in the case of the Secular party and the Socialist Alliance, whether they are preferenced near the top at all) is something that is still a bit of a puzzle for me, but I have to say, for maximum impact, my vote will probably go to the Greens, despite my misgivings about some of their policy...I have much stronger misgivings about Tony Abbott's insanity and Julia Gilard's right-wing pandering.

Unfortunately, I did none of these, instead giving into my love of all things children and inviting a friend over to watch 'Power Rangers: Dino Thunder' with me. While it was enjoyable as usual, we decided to go on a quest to try and locate a copy of the original power rangers. This proved to be extremely difficult as the original series was recorded on VHS not DVD, and alas, we failed in our search...for now. But we have a plan to continue looking, and we decided to tide ourselves over with the second disk of 'Dino Thunder' where Tommy (the original green ranger) as an adult becomes the new black ranger. What a twist!

After my friend left, I promised to save the rest of the watching until later, and have now been watching 'Another Cinderella Story' which is a crap musical version of the original version with the new Disney girl. She is in almost all of their movies, including 'Princess Protection Program', the last Disney live action movie I saw before this one. You may be asking yourselves, "why does she watch these awful films?" The answer: I don't know. I just can't get enough of that dodgy Disney magic. sigh.

Anyways, I've got time to waste and Disney to watch...
