[profile] exactlyhalf and I are now in possession of tickets to Australia in Easter. This makes me very happy. It's 1 year (minus 6 days) since I left, and I'm starting to feel a little twitchy. (Or maybe that's the sleep deprivation making my eyelid do that. Anyway, it's irritating). Hopefully the Easter school holidays will allow us to catch up with many teaching/student friends and family.

Now, back to work (while I eagerly await [profile] emily_shore's insights into the NH primary - go Hilary!)

I hope you have a good time there!

Completely OT, but have you seen this?

Interesting article. When Howard got a majority in the upper house in 2004 there was a great cartoon of him as Gollum, perched on a precipice saying 'I will not let the precious go to my head, I promisssess'.

And he's not the only one:
