Everybody Hurts
REM in full consolatory swing are trying their very best to convince me that Everybody Hurts and Now It's Time To Sing Along. But I'm just not feeling like my best song-bird self today, you know. Mostly because the news today has an extra dash of awfulness and some-ly because I don't really have a song-bird self. 
Salman to finally get a real taste of the slammer (about time, the guy got away with murder- literally.) Fire at the International Convention in Meerut, 45 dead so far. (Clearly not very international standards of safety being followed, what with a single exit and all) And Arjun Singh hellbent on raising enough muck to put Chirac to shame. (Still not backing down despite the PM and Sonia's silence and the EC's nudge.)
In other news closer to home, Ammu claims to have gotten "the tingles" just thinking about getting her tattoo which has gone from being the ambitious Gemini constellation (also known as the Doorway to Heaven) to being, erm, the keyhole on the Doorway- a single star. Tingle Tingle Little Star.
Old bud Sri Sri James, currently perfecting the alternative AOL- Art of Lazy- messaged to say that his team won the Beach Footie Cup in Goa. Cup filled with beer ofcourse. In his words, "Saved 5 goals for team, but took one in my Area 51. Everything seems to be in working order though." Valiant man.
Aunty G subjected us to one of her visits again, this time to complain about her sons- which ended up being emotionally painful for her and physically painful for us. But Aunty G truly worked the waterworks when she saw her favourite non-actor Sunil (Sunel/Suniel/Sunile/Senile?) Shetty cry on Indian Idol. (Do not ask me why- I'm clueless.) I believe it is a phenolemon known as Sympathy Pain. Boo and Hoo.
To conclude then, most things seem sour-bordering-on-depressing today and in their own special ways, Everybody Hurts.
End of Broadcast.

:-)... Very true... Have you read Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco...
