What I've been noticing lately;
1. Dickwad politicians posting photographs of themselves brandishing tongue swab drug tests of the ToxWipe brand; we know this because the logo is prominently displayed, as though it's on a sporting field (while I think of it, are ToxWipe LNP donors?), and bragging how they've been tested. We all know it's a snide little dig about the proposed - and monstrously flawed - notion of drug testing welfare recipients. So congratulations, you glib globules of snot from Satan's nostril; you've tested clean. How about you now go and piss in a cup in front of someone, and submit THAT sample for testing?
2. That when you're in a public place with control over the piped music, a shit song will come on. It happened to me twice the other day. I was at the gym, and whilst I was working my pectoral muscles, I was subjected to Umbrella by Rihanna. Look, I cannot say this enough, but God, that is an irritating song. I don't know if it's the atonal racket, or the lyrically ratshit 'umberella-ella-eh-eh-eh', but that song just makes me stabby. This was on the radio station, so it led me into the two o'clock news bulletin, and I'm not making this up, but the first song after the weather was - are you ready for this? - ANOTHER freaking Rihanna song: Work. Like the aforementioned '...eh-eh-eh...',. there is the repeated bilge of 'work, work, work, work.' Okay, we get it; the song's about working. But what de Sade of a program manager decided two Rihanna songs (broken up by the depressing news of the world) was a good idea?
3. In the aggravating maelstrom of posturing politician sand desperate ditties, there can be the odd pleasant surprise. I had to work late this afternoon, and when I pulled up outside a client's house, a blue wren landed on the bonnet of my car (just near the windscreen), and hopped its way across the wiper blades. It was a cheering moment in what seems to be a constantly busy or stressful time of late.
