Ha.

So, I was reading the headlines on Yahoo, as I usually do, and in a dramatic turnaround from yesterday's news that a million more people are unemployed than previously estimated (and that had the stock markets falling), there's this headline: "January unemployment rate drops unexpectedly to 9.7 pct"

Uh-huh. Sure. I think what I actually said was, "Bullshit."

Then I open up the quick-view of my horoscope, as I usually do, and this is what I read:

If there's one thing you definitely don't appreciate, it's being manipulated. You can smell it a mile away and know the signs with your eyes closed.


I might understand the logical need for doublespeak and manipulation of the media to keep panic to a minimum and all (not that I approve or think it isn't Eeeevil), but for God's sake, if you're going to double-back, you'd best do it in a less obvious way! We might be a country of amnesiacs, but I sure hope we're not so bad as to not remember YESTERDAY'S news!


In other news, an (effective) hour and a half in the morning is just not enough time to myself. Especially when most stores don't open till ten. Otherwise said: Friday Mood has hit with a vengeance.

Oh, and LJ is pissing me off by creating code it won't recognize. Grrrrrrr.

Yes, another damn post from me.

Send some love my way, please? I'll go away cut down on the posting if you do.

*group hug*

Thank you all! I felt the love even before I started getting the emails, and it was just what I needed. I'll respond to everyone tonight when I have time (it's 10 min till dinner, so no time now).

But this is just a quick note to say that my promptee is very possibly going to be one lucky fangirl. I've already started on it, and I really think I can work all the prompts into it.

Epic.

Seriously.

*grins*

Now I'm going to go gobble nibble some more kale chips and set the table.

Cheers!
