God Fucking Damn It

Terry Pratchett has announced that he has a form of early-onset Alzheimers. He hopes to complete at least two more books, but...

Goddamn it all to hell.

Vonnegut dies, Pratchett gets this monstrosity, but the smirking chimp goes on with his song and dance. Granted it looks like he's aged 25 years over his so-called Presidency, but still.

And that fucker Cheney? What does it take for that man to die? Six heart attacks by my count now. SIX. What. the. fuck.

On a purely selfish personal note, none of the planned books are in the Witches cycle, indeed the next two are not Discworld at all, so I'll probably never get the end story for Granny Weatherwax that I've been craving for a decade now. It might say something positive about an author, though, that their death, or severe, terminal illness, hits you in such a personal place that it feels like you, yourself, have been robbed of something material, the same feeling you might get from being mugged or burglarized.

I know of course Pratchett owes me nothing, and I hope nothing but the best for him... but days like this you could be forgiven for thinking the universe owes you a break. Owes him a break.  Of course, it never gives breaks.  It's a bleak, cold expanse of almost-nothingness and the only joy or meaning that could possibly exist is what we make for ourselves.

Pratchett made a lot of joy for me.  

This. Fucking. Sucks.

[B]p90x[/B] [B]p90x results[/B] are a whole lot of ways that you just can make that take place, however the ideal one particular of them would be to [U]p90x[/U] [U]px90 extreme workout dvds[/U] locate a correct diet plan and also to generate [B]p90x worksheets[/B] some standard visits to the health club, [B][URL=http://www.fitnessworkoutclub.com/insanity-workout-dvds.html]insanity fitness program[/URL][/B] here are some of the main points that you just [B][URL=http://www.fitnessworkoutclub.com]p90x manual[/URL][/B] should keep in mind:

Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes review[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]mbt shoes clearance[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]mbt sneakers[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]mbt walking shoes[/U] closer look at these special shoes.

The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]MBT shoes[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]mbt sneakers[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]mbt shoes review[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]mbt walking shoes[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]mbt sneakers[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes clearance[/URL][/B] work for some people.

More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]mbt shoes best prices[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]mbt discount shoes[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] on your lower joints.

Another particular claim [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] of MBT is that is you walk one mile in these weight [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] loss shoes it will be as if you walked two miles in ordinary shoes, and you will burn equivalent calories. One thing [B]mbt sandals[/B] is for sure, users find that after the first few [B]MBT[/B] times they walk in the shoes their calf and thigh muscles are sore. Also, while you are [U]MBT[/U] just starting to use the shoes they will feel uncomfortable [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] but that feeling goes away after twenty [U]mbt walking shoes[/U] minutes or so. Once you get used to the feel of the shoes users find that they can [U][B]footwear etc[/U][/B] walk effortlessly and comfortably. The shape of the sole is designed [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] to make you walk with your back straight and your [B]MBT shoes[/B] stomach flat, and your whole stride shortens up and quickens. These are [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] the major effects that owners of MBT shoes [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] experience.

As y'all might have noticed, I will do whatever it takes to [B][URL=http://www.tiffanyfree.uk.com]tiffany necklaces[/URL][/B] weed out the most popular and chic jewelry around, even it takes traveling to [U][B]tiffany[/U][/B] very warm, beautiful areas like the island of Siesta Key in Florida. In fact, I'm even staying an extra few days here [U]pandora jewellery[/U] just to make sure that I absorb as much information and style as humanly [B]tiffany sets[/B] possible (either that or I'm simply not interested in journeying back to the cold tundra that is New York City). Either way, this is the best way for me to [B]pandora[/B] report back to you all the excellent styles that are pervading the fashion scene for the [U]tiffany co][/U] spring and summer of 2009!

If any of you saw the 2008 romantic comedy, Fool's [U][B]pandora bracelets[/U][/B] Gold, I'm certain you found yourself frantically Googling Kate Hudson's Palm [B][URL=http://www.tiffanyfree.uk.com]tiffany london[/URL][/B] Tree Necklace to find out where you could get one just like it. The palm tree necklace was popular last year, and is still flying [B]pandora bracelets[/B] off the shelves today. There truly is something appealing about this shining sterling silver and cubic zirconia necklace with its intricate palm tree design. Of course, we're all aware that [B]tiffany bracelets[/B] the palm tree necklace that Kate wears in the movie is the real Tiffany & Co. version, which is made of diamonds, but unless you [U][B]tiffany uk[/U][/B] are also a multi-millionaire like Kate, you probably will also stick to the inspired [U]tiffany bracelets][/U] version.

On top of various forms of palm tree jewelry, I have [U]pandora jewellery[/U] found a bevvy of starfish, seahorse, and turquoise and coral-colored jewelry in the many boutiques and shops that Siesta [U]tiffany engagement rings][/U] Key boasts. Look for two-tone starfish jewelry as a big hit this spring and summer, as well [U][B]pandora jewellery[/U][/B] as the Tiffany Inspired Anchor Necklaces, which is another fan-favorite. It also incorporates a [B]pandora jewellery[/B] sterling silver and cubic zirconia design that is nautical and airy for the [B]tiffany earrings[/B] warmer weather.

Mademoiselle Jewelry specializes in [U]tiffany][/U] unique jewelry, Tiffany Inspired jewelry and sterling silver jewelry.
