Missing this year's OVFF
Okay, so I didn't win a Pegasus. That wasn't unexpected, given the competition, and I actually would have dreaded winning, considering the number of people who were nominated who've been around so much longer than I have and in my eyes at least deserve a better shot at it.
I wish I could have gone to OVFF though.
Go on. Make me feel better.

Happy Bonfire Night to all my UK friends.
And, for Christ's sake, get it right this time and blow Tony Blair to bits.

Vote Early. Vote Often. But don't get caught on that last bit.
If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for ... but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong. If this is too blind for your taste, consult some well-meaning fool (there is always one around) and ask his advice. Then vote the other way. This enables you to be a good citizen (if such is your wish) without spending the enormous amount of time on it that truly intelligent exercise of franchise requires.
