Masterchef Live was awesome. I didn't want to leave to go to my exam.

The exam wasn't bad either, there was a whole section I had no clue about but who cares!

This is promising news too: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/poli...riu-shaky-poll

Gotta get someone to witness my voting paper and I'll send it into the embassy here.

Good to hear the exam was alright!

High-five!

It's so nice to wake up and have absolutely nothing that requires doing. I should probably unpacked the rest of my room since it's nearly 3 weeks since I moved.

oh the internet

Haha, that's fantastic.

Shane Jones & Pita Sharples were both so excellent in a debate on Q&A this morning. It's silly that they're up against each other for the same seat. Can one of them please stand in my electorate?

The warehouse seems to entering the insurance market. Not into talking business and all that, but they've started selling pet insurance and now life insurance. They've sold travel insurance for years, but... It all seems weird to me.

[JoBear]

It's not that weird outside of New Zealand, a lot of department stores and supermarket chains are part of the financial market. I guess in NZ it's never really been that successful and it's probably to do with size and the fact with insurance people tend to go with what they know, being who their parents were insured with etc.

Labour really learnt nothing from 2008. They're just going to alienate what voters they have left to go vote for the Greens. Basically, let's go in with no policies except "attack John Key". And I absolutely loathe John Key, but if that's the whole basis of your campaign, it's just childish and embarrassing.

Although I did like this:

Several of Goff's signs have been removed in his Mt Roskill electorate but he said that was what happened in election campaigns.

"They've been very personal, they've chosen the ones with my photo on. Somebody suggested they might be adorning somebody's lounge wall and I thought well that's ok. But more likely its the back of the toilet door."

A bird pooed on my head yesterday. I felt a plop on my head and thought, "I really hope that was a raindrop." It wasn't a raindrop.

But at least I was on my way home from work. If it had been in the morning, people would have been even more justified than usual in calling me shithead all day!
