Dear God,
Dude are you on HOLIDAY or something?! I mean so far, twenty-ten has been kind of shitty. The Economageddon shows no real signs of recovery and now the Euro’s in trouble and Greece are WAY in the crap, mostly due to currency speculators (yeah, they were the fuckers that got us into this mess in the first place). And oh yeah, remember the Cadbury buy-out? Well Kraft have just announced they are closing down the factory near Bristol, with 400 jobs lost. It feels like the start of the Chocolate Wars. For realz. And as you probably know, its election year in the UK and we are in danger of being led by the supermarionation puppet: David Cameron. There are terrifyingly massive air-brushed posters of his magniloquent self all over the place. But hey, thanks for the internets that allow the most awesomest piss-take to be shared with the world.
And not to question your omnipotence and stuff but is there some sort of planetary misalignment thing going on right now? Because bloody hell almost everyone I know is having a really pants time at the moment. There is a lot of self-doubt going on amongst my lovely friends. You remember those awesome babes that are the wind beneath my wings? The sexy, brainy teachers and story-tellers, the aware ones that signed up for growth: the ones you should be rocking with bro! I mean we all get that we learn the most about our own strength through adversity and doubt and sadness blah blah. I’m just saying that your timing, with it being winter and January pay not arrived yet, is pretty shit.
In other news, Science Guy got an awesome new job and he is loads happier so big ups for any input you might have had there. My plague does seem to have (hopefully, come on!) peaked and I am feeling a bit less deathy today. So you know, ta for the anit-biotics (except for the ones that made me spew). Rex is well and continues to utterly overdramatise the only known stress in his life: an occasionally empty food bowl. He has been a pretty attentive nurse over the last week or so (by ‘attentive’ I mean asleep and by nurse I mean ‘useless fucking cat’).
So yeah all in all twenty-ten so far: could do better. Probably not the best time to be buggering off to the beach.
Just sayin’.
Love,
Sas xxx
ps: did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?

i got cameleopard wrong in the stuff quiz yesterday. i know. i couldnt believe it either.
stuff has a quiz?
isn’t that like the embodiment of an oxymoron?
The politics/economy stuff is so HOT when you do it. Phew.
Lordy mercy! That letter is so spot on, sas. And I’m glad to hear your crud is finally getting better. Plus, getting ANY job in this economic environment is wonderful.
Yeah, 2010, not so much. I felt it at xmas. It’s like that episode of MASH where the colonel doesn’t want to get caught up in some fun games one day because he knows that as soon as he lets his guard down, the helicopters full of wounded will show up. Which they do.
Hopefully your shite bottom year is on its way up….with Science Guy getting a cool job (yay!) and your plague f i n a l l y shuffling off (fingers crossed!)
Yeah, I think he’s been on vacation long enough. Time to get back to business and put things right.
Glad your feeling better.
Sas: 1, God: 0
The ball is in your court, big guy. Lift your bloody game, all right?
(Also: Wooo! for SG!)
“and youuuuuuu, light up my liiiiiiffffeeeee” sung in my best full throaty karaoke–which you’ve yet to experience btw. (old anne murray lounge ballad crap, fyi)
i mean it. xxxx
“… is there some sort of planetary misalignment thing going on right now?” Looks like you’ve hit the spot here, just read this, courtesy of Megg. It’s kind of spookie. I had such a good feeling about 2010, and still do, but boy, did it get off to a rough start! Heady stuff: “As you sit here reading these words, the world is heading for one of the most stunning awakenings of both individual and group consciousness that we have seen in four decades, or longer. Yet to embrace this means taking full responsibility for the decisions we make as individuals.” Amen.
giraffes are awfully silly! yet somehow retain their dignity. like me ;)
Sas. Seriously. How are you so awesome?
I started 2010 giddy and excited. Within three weeks it was…less so. And now I am struggling under a pile of crapness.
But hey, it’ll get better, right?
Crazy, add me to the list of those who are experiencing a whole load of crapola in their life right now..
Oh, and yes, stuff has a quiz…kinda makes the front page look a bit like fb – lolz!
