in for the long haul

ok maybe not that long, but i am not expecting rest or an off day from today till at least the 8th of may and possibly later. that's right, it's time for elections, and i have to say that this year's offerings are actually substantially more interesting than years gone by, with an opposition that is actually credible (well, two separate teams run by the workers party at any rate)

so forgive me if i go off the radar, but the next 12 days will be spent breathing, eating and sleeping elections. a necessary evil that will allow my to appreciate the tokyo vacation that follows much, much more.
