veni, vedi, voti
Wednesday, 22 April 2009 06:02 pmVoting took nearly an hour this afternoon, as opposed to the 10 mins it took the last two times we've voted. Either they've reshuffled the station allocations, or we have a larger turnout this time. I'm hoping, probably overly optimistically, that droves of right-thinking people are going "Zuma? HELL, no!" and voting when they haven't before.
In entirely unrelated news, bajillions of dolphins protect Chinese ships from piracy. Apparently. I have an irresistible mental image of inscrutable Chinese animists launching fleets of paper dolphins, inscribed with mystic characters in red ink, into the water from various beaches to summon the hordes.
Root canal yesterday was curiously horrible - the slow file drill thingy feels like a pavement jackhammer attached to a Harley Davidson engine, it has a low, slow rumbling buzz going. I feel as though someone socked me to the jaw. Next week, coronation! Or at least preparation for such. Now, however, I shall go and make chocolate mousse and supper, and watch James Bond. In that order, demonstrating the essential randomness of my priorities.
