Steve and I were on Channel 7 news last night!
We had planned a day of videogames but Steve wanted to help out Zane at the polling booth for the election. Zane was running as the hip hop candidate for the Socialist Alliance.
I dropped by to say hi, and they handed me a ultra day glo green t-shirt which said 'Vote For Zane' on it. I wore it and handed out flyers for fun. We sung up raps about Zane "All the rest are all the same! Use your brain, Vote for Zane!" etc.
A quizzical newswoman with cameraman in tow asked us what we were about and if she could film us. We were by far her most entertaining interview, Zane had a flag of Venenzuela on his head, Steve was singing Frank Sinatra at the time.
They interviewed, Steve and I beatboxed, Zane rapped.
Today my boss tells me he saw me on television last night. Too bad I missed it.

I worked from home today.
I didn't feel too good so I called in and said I'd work online. Zoe gave me a back massage as I drank tea and ate muesli. I listened to Janes Addiction and Sublime. Steve played video games next to me.. all while I was at work.
It was like a dream come true.

My boss lent me his Wii. It's a cool machine. Metroid is amazing. Wii sports is a lot of fun. I rate it because even people who are staunchly against video games find it entertaining and want to have a go. It connects rather than divides.
