a little loose conversation - part I

got some mates around for election night - all ex-AUSAers - an events organiser, two University staff, a teacher and me.

so far we've been too busy talking to do much election watching, except to comment on Michael Laws' mascara, which led to a discussion about that All Black who wears it. We suggest he gets an endorsement out of his eye makeup fetish, cos if it can last all the way through a test match, because He's Worth It.

overall the trends are not that great for the left so far - Greens below the threshold and National quite some way ahead of Labour...
