“What the fuck!”

I went shopping. Bought a S&B top and Cue dress. I couldn’t find pictures of either of them from the respective e-stores so I took some! The top is black so the photo doesn’t capture much, but here’s the dress:

Neither my room nor my hair is very tidy today so I cropped what I must.

NB: Buy a new camera.

C bought me macaroons today. I’ve never had macaroons before but that’s not for lack of trying. On several occasions I actually craved them in the way that you crave things you’ve never experienced, and it always happened inside supermarkets, most of which don’t sell macaroons.

When I received my Adriano Zumbo macaroons they were quite melted. In fact, even the outside of their plastic wrapping was covered in a layer of grease. The first one I had was delicious. C said he bought me one of each flavour and this one was green although I couldn’t identify what it was. I was curious about the rest so I took another. It was date-y and salty and a little strange but still palatable. Then later at C’s house I tried the third, which I thought was chocolate because it was dark brown but it didn’t taste like chocolate. Neither did it taste like anything else. The fourth was salt and vinegar. I threw out most of it. The fifth was caramel in colour but tasted only of sugar. The sixth is sitting in the fridge and I’m too anxious about what it might be to eat it.

Next time I want to go myself and pick out some more normal flavours. But thanks C <3

In other news, some Aussie guy has been arrested in the United Arab Emirates for saying “what the fuck” when a stranger who grabbed his wrist at the airport turned out to be a plain-dressed policeman. What the fuck! Full story here.

There was an email from the vice-chancellor from earlier today about questionable behvaiour of some students from our uni, something about sexual assault being unacceptable and binge drinking being no excuse, so I assumed that some girl was groped against her will at some on-campus drinkfest but apparently not so. I just came across the SMH article.

The male students, mostly from the elite, all-male St Paul’s College, initially ensured the ”Define Statutory” group had an open, public profile, and proudly displayed their membership on their personal Facebook pages.

Both the commander of the NSW Police sex crimes unit and the head of the NSW Rape Crisis Centre condemned the site, describing it as ”grooming perpetrators of sexual violence”.

The Facebook page, which has since shut but ran from August until late last month, is part of a broader culture at the residential colleges that demeans women in a sexist and often sexually violent way, experts say.

The Herald has spoken to several women, also past and present residential college students, who have experienced sexual assault and attempted assaults on campus. They say the privileged atmosphere of colleges, combined with a culture of binge drinking and few restraints on behaviour, mean most rapes go unreported.
