I think I’m Unreasonably Grumpy about things at the moment.
Listening to the radio this morning, I felt really annoyed at the fact that one of the AsiaPacific journos keeps referring to the Japanese royal family as the Chrysantheum Throne. It’s the ChrysantheMum Throne, Linda LoPresti! Tsk!
Ah. It was good to write that gripe down, because I suddenly no longer feel grumpy about it. Just amused that a radio journalist can consistently make a mistake like that.
Come to think of it, most of the other gripes I had seem completely inconsequential, now, too. Some should not even have made me cross – like hearing the news that Elizabeth Jolley’s passed away (I thought, “Damn it! Not another death!” I did say I was unreasonably grumpy, didn’t I?).
And one peeve, it’s just occurred to me, might be worth researching further and could even be the subject of another paper. Hmm…
