******~ edit @ 5pm~ The Market is now at a A$90b freefall - down 7% and the worst since WWII, and the CommSec website crashed LOL. Yes yes. I know what that means. I'm very sorry investors and traders, dearie me... And I'm really happy for you, financial journos - milk it mofos, u love it...******
A very busy and stressed out man told me last night that the market is unravelling.
3 months ago I would have said: “And… this affects me how…?”
Now I say .... “Omg - its the Apocalypse”
Needless to say, I got to work before 8am this morning and proceeded to dash for the AFR, only to be blinded by the headline
“Market rout slices 6pc off super returns” WTF
I don’t give a shit about retirement woes – tell me how this affects ME.
Thank god for Eli Greenblat – my Market Wrap man always explains everything with such precision and clarity:
“Shares head for bear territory” OK. I get it. Bull is good, bear is bad.
I then (very loudly) decided to yell halfway across the room to my Managing Director “Tim, whats happening to the stock market?” to which he replied “My friends who work in the markets are all liquidating their shares. Now stop thinking about your bf and get back to work.”
LOL.
Ok – liquidate. I don’t really know what that means but I think that’s bad too.
Its a bloodbath of bears! The market is melting! (oh gracie, what great use of alliteration, you eloquent woman)
Anyway, moving on…
Check out Amy Winehouse on her way to her hubby’s court case:
Again – repeat after me. Trash. Gutter. Sewerage. UGH.
Some news for the week:
1. Angela has a new toy. And the clairvoyant was spot on... He’s a white version of Phil, completely infatuated with her, and he wears a bucket hat. LOL. Good job I say Ange – bring’em out the morning after to show all your friends, that’s the way! 3 words. PUSSY. WHIPPED. HARD.
2. I have decided to make up with Jack. Not only because he is depressed and wants to have all-you-can-eat-bungalow8-mussels with me (lol!), but more because he is TOTALLY splurging on himself atm – helllloooo?? 2 new suits in 1 week? Does the cash have no shelter? Should we find it a home? Bring on the lobster dude, wtf is mussels…?
3. I'm absolutely gutted - I was in a stupid meeting when we got Bon Jovi tickets for tonight, so I missed out! And they're sitting in a suite with free food and drinks~!! O...M...G.... That's so not fair! I LOVE JON BON JOVI! He was my pretend husband all through primary school and part of high school. Redic. Now I have to settle for Victoria and Kerry blabbing on abt it in the morning. I am so not coming into work tomorrow...
4. Emily didn’t get fired from her job. She thought she did so she went into the shop and bought like a million dresses so she could get the 50% discount – only to find out this week that she is in fact, still on the roster. Muahahaha…
5. I am on a Dairy Farmers account atm, rebranding Lite White Milk… riveting stuff. Please, someone tell me why a journo would want to write a story about new packaging on milk that tastes and smells exactly the same, has the same no. of calories, and comes out of the same animal. Moooooooo I say. MOO. **edit – 2hrs later** oops I totally take that back – this project just got interesting – Pnau is in the TVC so now its become SEXY– woot woot! Photo shoots, Sydney Confidential and Big Day Out tickets!!
6. OMG – Atonement was outstanding. I looooooved it. Hilarious for having a MA+ rating yet no sex scenes, violence, or drugs … just a “wet sweet cunt” … hahahaha! If you haven’t seen it, its not what you think! If you have – how utterly bizarre yet painfully profound and brilliant was it…?
I’ll leave you with Keira in THAT dress...

Green... just like froggie....
