Feb. 9th, 2009 10:15 pmI'm sure there are things I should be posting about. Definitely, there are things. Which I cannot recall.
The elections are tomorrow. Here's an awesome story: my roommate and her dad are both voting for Barak, and for days now he's been giving her speeches about how people just aren't getting that as much as they want Barak and the Defense Minister and so they're voting for a different candidate for Prime Minister, if his party doesn't get enough votes - like, 20 mandates - he's not even going to be able to be the Defense Minister. In the end, she talked her dad into calling the Labor party HQ (or whatever number they advertised in their website), and he talked to a bunch of campaign people saying "LISTEN YOU HAVE TO GET THIS MESSAGE OUT", and one hour later, the news started reporting Barak's statement saying exactly that. The little man can make a difference! However many people vote for Barak tomorrow, I am attributing one mandate to my roommate.
Happy Tu Bishvat. I didn't step outside all day long and saw no actual trees, nor ate any actual fruits. But! I ate chocolate. And cocoa is something that does grow on trees. So I feel like I have celebrated, on my part.
Okay, so I watched episode 3x09 of Battlestar Galactica and kept IMing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
