Nursing a New Year’s hangover while being singed by the nasty Melbourne heat, I can assure you my greatest aspiration for the second day of ‘08 was to sleep in a comfortable hotel room. One broken air-conditioner, a jammed window and two altercations with hotel reception later, I found myself venturing back into the sun searching for some reprieve. Luckily for me, I stumbled across a welcoming and somewhat challenging distraction for my lazy holiday mind: just off Federation Square, at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, is the free exhibition REPLAY: CHRISTIAN MARCLAY.

The Golden Compass is the latest addition to the growing list of popular-fantasy-books-turned-Hollywood-SFX-extravaganzas. Oh, and add that it’s usually a prerequisite for the films on said list to be released specifically for the Boxing Day hordes. The Golden Compass is an adaptation of Phillip Pullman’s first novel The Northern Lights in the highly successful trilogy His Dark Materials.

In the real world,I am a lovely, easy-going uni student. But when the time comes to go house hunting, what can I say? Desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm the girl with the pre-printed housing application, who races you through the threshold to introduce herself loudly to the real estate agent, wielding her biggest smile and thus ensuring that any other potential tenants shrink back into the wet paint of yesterday’s once-over as soon as possible.

Ah yes. The return to university or perhaps school. Or perhaps you’ve just arrived somewhere new. Either way, now that the summer sun disappears a few minutes earlier each day, and you begin to settle into a new year, you will be a changed person. Not only will you begin to meet new people, make new friends and discover new and exciting interests. But inevitably these social to-ings and fro-ings will penetrate the virtual world, and you will discover a plethora of new Facebook networks to search, friends to add, and groups to scour for unlikely connections. Even for those of you who have conspired never to join the addiction that is Facebook, be warned that your curiosity will be challenged like never before, and very soon you will succumb to the cyberspace powers that be and hand over your soul, dammit. So before the heady rush of Facebook frenzies take over, set aside a moment of self-glorification to reflect lovingly upon yourself and decide: which Facebook personality are you?

Prior to last Saturday, I was a performance poetry virgin. When I worriedly told my friend I was attending a poetry performance, she described it as the interpretative dance of the poetic world. Oh dear, just what had I got myself in to? I had yet to be seduced by the sweet heady sounds of alliterated, assonated, wordy bliss. Now, following an afternoon at the Day of Words festival, I can safely say am on my way to becoming a fully-fledged spoken word slut.

In light of the latest Earth Hour event you’ve got to ask yourself; Are we really making a difference? Sure, we got to read the Herald's quadruple page picture spread of darkened Aussie cities, and maybe you had a candlelit picnic with friends, but what did we actually achieve for the environment?
