At the moment I don't feel very good because of the election result. By the way they are so efficient to count the votes. It's so quick. I hear they've got a special machine to read the ballot paper. (In Japan we write the candidate's name on with a pencil on the ballot paper, and counting machines with an OCR software does the job. I wish I could show how it is like to you, but they don't allow cameras inside the polling station.)

And the music I am listening to with foobar? It goes "too ****ed up to care anymore".

By the way, one of the candidates, Kisho Kurokawa 黒川紀章, is THAT architect Kurokawa, worldly known for the capsule hotel tower built in the early 1970s.

And if you are as depressed as I am, and need a good laugh - nonsense treat:
