Long time no blog

It’s to do with the gloom of the rainy season highlighting the crappy situation in Ethiopia, the fact that daily life and work are becomming ensnared in the undercurrents of mucky politics that pervade almost every aspect of work life.

It's to do with the bare-faced blatant lies on TV (Meles was on last week giving his best to convince us that the 200% increase in sugar prices has to do with the rise in fuel price globally, which has driven other countries to extract fuel from sugar... Uhum... Sure, highly combustible ethanol it is I think, so that they unwittingly get super turbo acceleration...)

It's to do with the inadequacies of the internet here- blogger takes ages to load. The machinations of this government to muffle our voices as implied by the crappnes of the internet does not even get enough mind space for the paranoia it could unleash. I mean a sexed up room-big 1960's computer floating around the moon as space junk could handle Ethiopia's minuscule internet traffic better...

It's to do with many more things that have occured to me as good subjects for this blog, but all of it is inadevertently gloomy and pessimistic, which I really do not want to unleash all at once on you lot. You can watch ordinary news for that kinda stuff.

So, until I can find a humorous slant on things (or some good news) I'll spend my free time buying wellies and waders for the muck of poor Itiyopiyaye
