This morning while eating my toast and yoghurt, I was flicking through the Herald and found the story of Dr John Elliott, a terminally ill adopted Australian who flew to Switzerland to medically end his own life.
It wasn’t easy to read, and quite eerie to read his final letter. But I can’t help but feel total awe for this man who had such a strong conviction to put an end to his pain that he had a journalist and photographer cover it.
I hope that the article generates some controversy and discussion and helps to change some minds about the topic.
And I hope that if I ever reach that stage of my life that have the same conviction.

See? My eyes look blue-er with the copper thrown into the colour. I like my new fringe.
I tried Captivate Hair and Beauty at Stanmore Village and loved it. The whole trip was a good $80 cheaper than my old hairdresser. I’ll definitely be going back.
The Naked Aunt is still staying here. I knew that ‘a few days’ would turn into ‘at least a week, maybe 3′. Humpf.
Today is the 3rd day my car’s been back with Mazda. I hit a rogue concrete island in downtown Leichhardt about a month after I got the car, and the wheel alignment hasn’t been right since. I thought I got away with it when it go serviced six months ago. But I didn’t, and now that I’ve asked them to look a bit closer, they can’t work out how to fix it.
The suckiest part is that I have to walk everywhere or catch public transport. What gives?
If I haven’t been hanging around at home, I’ve been going into the city or walking down to our local village for some beautifying. I know it’s all very good for me and/or the environment to not be driving my car, but whatevs. Today it’s going to be HOT. And I want my air conditioned little car.
I don’t want to be commoner and have to walk/bus/train it everywhere.
I finally got my eyebrows fixed up after months of ignorance. They look less like hairy catepillars and my forehead is irresistibly smooth.
Tomorrow I’m getting a much-needed haircut and I’m trialing a new fringe option until then. Don’t want to be too trendy, though.
