voted!

Another week, another entry. Managed to wake up at 6 AM still reeling drunk this morning from last night's 'dinner'. I somehow knew that today was the day my ballot for the Canadian federal election would arrive. And I was right. I had to run around town finding someone who could mail it for me, and eventually had to settle on sleepy Post Australia, who charged me $AUD 30 for vague promises of 2-5 business days delivery.
So I wrote down the name of a friend who's running my riding, and slapped down the cash (well, my ATM card, anyway), and I've now voted for the first time in six or seven years. Who knew that it would take nine months of living abroad to get me interested in politics in Canada.
