Today in Australia was marked by a fearsome display of nationalism...

which I carefully avoided, because nationalism is Not My Thing.

I have a singular lack of news today unless you've developed an unhealthy interest in my laundry basket, or in Murphy breaking in to sit and watch while I have a nap.

So, in closing, icon! 13 days to go... and I'm apparently in the running to win a Serenity poster bearing the signature of the One True Joss. Yay for not picking the slipcase. :D

Generally, it's not an incredibly important event. A whole heap of people get to bang on about how much they love the place, while wearing flags on every available surface (or using them for hairsticks) and somehow managing to look sane or normal.

It is a somewhat important event for migrants, since all citizenship ceremonies occur on Australia Day.

It is a somewhat important event for migrants, since all citizenship ceremonies occur on Australia Day.

Or any other day one's local council/whatever can be bothered organising a ceremony, of course. But I guess becoming a citoyen on Australia Day is more exciting.

Plus, where's the percentage in putting citizenship ceremonies on the news daily/weekly/monthly, when you could be devoting time to explosions and riots and celebrities? It's so much easier to throw a quick shot of them into the patriotic montage that is Jan 26.
