anonymoose_au9:11pm: Heh, I'm actually updating this on my mobile phone in the hotel room I'm sharing with my parental units. I do have my tablet with me, but my charger is letting me down, the battery is low and I haven't got a cable long enough to use it. I'll have to look into that before we head off to Fiji.
So tomorrow I'll be heading home on the train, it'll take about an hour and a half to get back to the centre of Sydney and I have another hour and a half to get back to the north side and work.
I've started working on the McFly July prompts, getting one done before my tablet's battery fell into the danger zone. I might try posting that one tomorrow, see how the battery holds up if I leave it plugged in tonight.
In other news, someone actually tried to assassinate Donald Trump today! Yikes... He wasn't seriously hurt, but someone else was killed and two other people at the rally were injured. The shooter was also killed. It's all kinds of bizarre, like I'm not fan of the Orange Man, but actually taking a shot at him? It's a strange place in the US, there were people on the news wondering how someone even had the ability to take a shot at a former president. Well geeze guys, maybe the whole easy access to guns might have something to do with it? Although I suppose the shooter shouldn't have been able to get so close, but he wasn't AT the event so he didn't need to go through metal detectors or anything.
It was a bit alarming that apparently people saw the guy up there and tried to earn the cops on scene, and the cops apparently didn't do anything until shots were fired.
Anyway, the US election looks like it's gonna be a bad time... Not looking forward to the outcome of that.
The curse of "May you live in interesting times" is definitely holding true. Although, as a follow up to mentioning the various elections going down, the French one has turned out to be less of a shitshow than feared. So there's that at least.
Well, Le Tour continues and it's on TV (fortunately Mum watches it), so time to enoy that.
Goodnight!
