you know the thing is that i'm not religious. so with this whole whitney houston thing the thing that strikes me is there is something inherently cruel with gifting someone these fucking amazing vocal skills (not a fan of the music, but my god, the things she could do with her voice), and then taking them away bit by bit in such public and perverse ways. i just don't understand it.
If I wake up on the 22nd August 2010 and find out that Tony Abbot is our new Prime Minister I am literally going to vomit.
ETA: I may not literally vomit but the idea of such a proto-conservative being PM is terrifying, particularly in relation to the issue of gay marriage (we have no such right here.)
