| My Magic 8-Ball |
Ata has begun an Undertaking, in which she is not consistently certain of success. In these dark times of unsurety, she seeks reassurance in Mr Ata. This is a process not unlike asking questions of a magic 8-ball.
"Mr Ata," she sighs languidly, "Will I succeed at this?"
He thinks a moment, then replies: "It's looking more likely." Or, "I'm finding it easier to see that happening." Or, "It's entirely possible."
One would imagine that Ata would learn from this experience, and seek reassurance elsewhere. Yet the careful, on-the-fence response is somehow more comforting than blind certainty. And he's a terrible liar, anyway, so Ata would not believe absolute assurance. |

Can you ask your magic 8-ball if it's likely that you will be adding another blog entry soon?

Sorry Myo! I was getting there. Besides, it's not like you're in a position to criticise.
-
Pffft
Not criticising.
Just want more.
That's all !
