Less enthusiastic...

I was chatting to a friend this evening about different things that have happened this year, when we made a slightly depressing discovery.  We've hardly heard any good news in 2009.  Nothing drastically terrible has happened to me, but a lot of friends have been through some completely rubbish stuff since the beginning of this year, yet no-one we know has had any good news, or had anything nice happen to them.

Depressing, huh?!
