Re: Saturday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

Godz, it's the terrible thing on a slow Open thread to realise everybody else has a life...except you.

Re: Saturday Open Thread (none / 1)

its all these people hitting the bright lights of conferences, surrounded by fawning multitudes.

Leaves the rest of us contemplating the empty life of being without celebrity ;-)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: Saturday Open Thread (none / 1)

It's not helped that I'm suffering from post-holiday blues. Life has been pretty interesting for the last month and now.....nada.

I'm feeling rundown and tired, bored and listless and crave an entertainment. Harumph....

Who had a punk song "i'm bored I'm bored I'm bored i'm bored I'm bored I'm bored i'm bored
I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored i'm bored...I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored ??

Good stuff. That Iggy Pop song was the first thing to leap to mind, but, uh, The Clash will do nicely too....

Maybe the same life excitement as here: Choking.in.the.heat. Fingers.cutting.through.the.air.to.type.
Not.a.speck.of.dust.moving.

Don't we miss that northerly air stream that was keeping temperatures human-friendly of late?

Your heat came over the fence to our side and blew up in noisy storms all night.
