As of late I’ve been finding it harder and harder to get back onto the blogging bandwagon due to lack of err mostly the need to write. Call it writers block, or in my case, writers slack/block. As a blogger, the way I blog is that unless I’ve got an actual proper article to post, I won’t post anything. Awesome cake, in his usual persistent mode, wisely said that when that happens, it’s usually good to keep a verbal deluge (or as he put it, a verbal ‘diarrhoea’) going, so you don’t lose out on (a) your readers and (b) your own writing mood/skills.
Fair enough.

The Onion, home to all that is fake and funny, has this ‘in other news’ segment about the grand and epic rescue of the 800,000 or so people who have been ‘stranded’ on the island(islands?) of Fiji for…quite awhile now (thanks for the link Thrashor!).
Favourite part: “…many are quite reluctant to leave their homes and towns behind, but we will get them back to civilisation…”
Jonathan Segal observed that now that Fiji is in The Onion, we are now (dare I say, officially) mainstream*. I concur.
*Fiji Water not counted.

my favourite part is..
“…It is believed that Fiji people have been shipwrecked since 1000 B.C after being blown off course while searching for Scotland.”
