Priorities January 12, 2010
Posted by Sharny in : Fun,Scraps,Society , add a commentAs anyone currently living in Europe knows, we’re having a very cold winter. There’s still a slushy snow on the pavements and less used roads. I’d say it was unheard of but last year saw heavy snowfall in February. I wasn’t around to witness it but it sounded really rather crazy.
I was perusing the wikipedia article on this abnormal winter. It’s pretty interesting. The bit that caught my eye however was down at the bottom. So as it turns out (source: BBC) most shops have been suffering from people not wanting to go outside. No surprise there. The fun part is that sales in contraception have risen. So everyone has definitely gotten their priorities straight. Right on, humanity.
Happy Arbitrary Celebration Day January 1, 2010
Posted by Sharny in : Fun,Ramble,Scraps,World , add a commentYep, we’re finally out of the cool sounding oh-somethings and into just plain old 10. I’m not gonna have fun with my event names for another ten years, that does rather suck, my whole twenties spent not being able to call things “Awesome Event *last two digits of year*” since it just doesn’t sound very good.
As you can guess from my title, I find the celebration of new year a bit puzzling. A good excuse for a party to be sure, but I don’t really understand why everyone gets so happy and hugs and kisses everyone around. Really every day is a new year, a new year from the same day the year before. I call bullshit on new years resolutions too, if you wanna make a change fucking make a change, don’t wait for some arbitrary date to do it.
Anyways, have fun wherever you are.
