I can't help you on this! Not sleeping gets to be something usual after a while, and everything seems more interesting than going to bed...
If I tell you I need to go to bed soon, and I'm in Canada, will it help you make your move?

Vowing never to order pizza out again, after making the best pizza I've ever had (other than Giordano's) myself.
Trying to figure out the book I'm reading - Defending Angels by Mary Stanton. So far she has a horrific painting she can't get rid of, a second floor that isn't located on this earthly plane, and a dog that can read her thoughts.

Hating the fact that the bedroom I cleaned yesterday now looks like a clothes heap. Long story, there.

About to kill my installation of Windows 7 and put on a fresh copy of Ubuntu. For all Win 7's bells and whistles, there's just something not quite there about it yet. Going back to Ubuntu for the time being

i'm trying to get up the motivation to go vote in the european elections. it's my civic duty. but it's freezing today and currently pouring down rain and the last thing i want to do is go outside. i'm much better at home with a cup of hot tea.

*sigh*

we always vote on sundays here, presumably so people won't be at work and will be free to go (since voting bureaus are always near your home address, and you might work far away).

i'm currently still hesitating, i've narrowed it down to two possibilities, but i'm trying to choose between voting for the one i think has a decent chance of getting at least one chair (so they'll get more, and can have more influence) and one which is a bit more radical and probably won't get many votes but i like their plateform, and if i vote for them even if they don't get any chairs at least i'll show my support... we don't have Animals Count party here but we've got one or two similar ; the one i'm tempted to vote for has humane treatment of animals mentioned in their plateform explicitly, and that is important to me too, but it's a more general "ecology" party.

originally i had 4 that i was considering so i guess i'm making progress...

edit : "bureaus" ? is that the plural form in english ? it looks odd without the x...

You should invite a representative to your home from all four parties. Have a competition and whoever cleans your home the best *may* get your vote.
