Did The World Just End?!

Cause it looks like Threads out there.

The light is like Fanta, thick, nasty orange of a shade I've not seen outside Gallifrey. Birds are flyind backwards in the dayglow orange fog. There's so little light...

Frankly, I'm surprised we haven't all been asphyxiated yet.

Think I'm overreacting? Don't you know what happened in Pompeii? Already one newsteam noting how impossible it is to see the Harbour Bridge have mysteriously lost contact with the rest of the world. Athletics carnivals have been cancelled. Planes are grounded. Schools are deserted. Obama is cranking up global climate change. PM Kevin Rudd says "We have to face facts - time is running out!" God has contacted Adam Spencer to explain that the sky is running red with the blood of sinners, and the bloody Keith Allan look alike is playing "It's the End of the World As We Know It" by REM! Oh, why couldn't be instant spaghettification by Large Hadron Collider?

Oh, and irony of ironies, I was listening to Dust Breeding last night.

So, if these are my final words...

"Tell them I was right about everything"!

That's how I want to go - by noting that, by the way, I was right about EVERYTHING and EVERYONE ELSE in the WHOLE WORLD are a bunch of MORONS!

My first thoughts were just 'Bushfire!' - which I guess amounts to the same thing in an all-timber house on a central coast rural property..

It was a massive freak-out though. Yay, day off TAFE!

It's improved a lot where I am - less infernal glow, just a brown-grey overcast look. But the second you leave something, when you come back it's brown with dust...

I cannot believe that less than ten hours ago this was merely a setpiece in the audio I was listening to...

Well, don't know what it's like in Sydney but it's cleared completely here.

Youth of Australia said...

Yeah. I tried walking the rat through the snow-like deposits of dust, had a coughing fit and passed out. And now the sky is clear bar some brown clouds.

Guess maybe the content of the blog post was a bit alarmist, looking back in retrospect.

...I know.

You said.

Jared "No Nickname" Hansen said...

Yes, but my computer told me I didn't say it so I said it again, and then I saw I HAD said it and took it back and now you saying that I said that makes no sense because according to the page I no longer said that and when all's said and done Blogger can be a bitch.

I AM NOT INSANE!!!

Youth of Australia said...

I believe you.

Do you want me to delete the comments so this isane conversation never happened?

Jared "No Nickname" Hansen said...

Eh, I guess so. Not that fussed or anything..
