not so much politics today – too tired. except to say that a) the president sucks ace, and b) there has always been something I didn’t quite trust about howard dean. and this just cements it. face it. he’s a loon. interested in figuring out who to cast your vote for? try this.

oh, and if you don’t vote, don’t even bother to complain to *me* about anything. talk to the hand. I gotta remember to register for an absentee ballot.

okay, so i lied about no politics. sue me.

things you can do at the british post office:
buy mobile phone cards
pay your car MOT
renew your tv licence
pay your utilities
buy home insurance
cash traveler’s cheques
open a bank account
get stuff notarised
get your government benefits
take out a loan
play the lottery

which is all fine and well and good. except when i waste a whole lunch hour trying to mail a packet.

surprise, surprise! it’s raining again! surprise, surprise! rain tomorrow! although given how small this country is (as compared with giving the weather forecast for New England or the tri-state area) you would think they could give better meteorological advice. all they ever say on the weather here is that it will be “fresher”. what the hell does that mean? colder? wetter? lemon-scented?

in my world-traveller diaries, looks like all my threatening has finally worked! alex and I are actually going to rome in march! I should work for the mob – i could put the hurt on people. alex is clearly scared of me.

the russians have their priorities straight.

because I missed MLK day in the states monday, here’s a belated tribute, which i find particularly apropos:

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
- Dr. Martin Luther King (1929-1968)

peace out, y’all.
