jaiku, brochures, fantastic postcard, planning summer, copenhagen next week, summer is here (mostly), watching life go by, “3rd rock from the sun” marathon, tampere last weekend, red dress, hornet fly over, alone on a train, walking around a transport exhibition, college letters, translation woes.

insanely hyper in anticipation of the irish election count tomorrow. voting is today. ireland uses proportional representation system – meaning that one votes in order of preference – 1 for your most favourite and 2 for second favourite and so on. it means that after the first count (of most no1s) things always get interesting – epically so in irelands coalition government system. i imagine i will get to sleep at about 0500 on saturday morning depending on the way its all going. hurrah!
