I have been ill. And overworked. But mostly ill.
A short time before Mr Brammers gave me his virus, he decided we should switch ISPs. In theory this was a good idea, in actuality, it was weeks of me having no internet. While dying. I tried to read a book. It was Wolf Hall. It fell on my face every time I every time I felt faint. Alas, I felt faint quite a bit. That is one big bloody book. I took to reading Agatha Christie paperbacks instead. Lovely and thin.
I have an enormously long post on Australian politics coming up in the near future. I do not have one on the current fandom brouhaha, though I do think satire is the appropriate response to both. I have a dream in which rationality is commonplace, but in the words of the Ruddbot, that's:

I was lectured by a friend when in Aus for not keeping my Aus electoral roll position, but as I calmly pointed out - I don't live there any more and long term voting from a foreign country is awkward. But mostly, it's because I live and vote here now; I don't feel I have a right to a voice there when it is not my home. And honestly? I'm kind of grateful right now I don't have to.)
