Head

I checked my inbox and inside was an email from Monash asking for my height and head circumference for my graduation penguin gown and my hat, which will not be thrown, i think. When i attended Sis's graduation, they didn't let the class fling their graduation hats into the air as it was "hazardous"... Dangerously sharp square edges, falling down and cracking heads.

Speaking of cracked heads, i've seen quite some number of them for the past 2 weeks. Been watching CSI: Las Vegas. Insanely captivating show. Lots of blood. Lots of dead bodies. Lots of crime. Lots of mystery. Lots of drama. Throw in a slight dose of humour and bam! We've got a hit! What's there not to like? 

I started from the beginning, season 1 of Y2K. And since it started off 10 years ago, i spotted quite a number of familiar faces. 

From Desperate Housewives: Bree van de Kamp, as a woman who poisoned her husband, Paul Young, as a guy who killed his wife, Rex van de Kamp, some law enforcement lieutenant, Felicia Tilman, university landscaping officer, Karl Mayer as a parachuting instructor.

From Ugly Betty: America Ferrera! Betty herself, minus the bangs, minus the braces, minus the glasses. Girl who helped her parents / brother cover up the murder of her little sister who was conceived solely for the purposes of organ mining to save her brother. Messed up man, i know. Henry, as a guy whose grandma killed herself. Ignacio Suarez, as some whack-job religious Mexican dude. Whack-job.

From Heroes: Sylar, as a mechanic. Peter, as a kid who killed his best friend on a drug-induced high. Messed up man, i know. Peter's mum, as a grandma. 

Oh and i also saw the Scarecrow guy from Batman Begins, as a drug dealer.

The writers of CSI are either a) twisted or b) have witnessed sick and twisted cases in real life because some of the scenes and storyline they concoct are... really sick and twisted.

Like this father who raped his daughter and got her pregnant and proceeded to rape his own granddaughter. Or a boy who killed his brother for telling others that he wet his bed. Or a mother killing her own daughter because she, the mother, was paranoid that her daughter was seducing her boyfriend. Turns my stomach...

Anyway, back to my convocation. It's in 2 month's time. I'm kinda torn. Where will this rite of passage lead me to?
