(no subject)

Usually, I don´t talk about politics in public, but today I´ll make an exception. Thank God for small mercies, Barack Obama has been reelected. So why do I take the small mercies literally? Because not much will change in Amiland, if you consider the stalemate between senate and House of Representatives. At least, Romney is history. A few of his utterances would have brought him straight into jail in good old Europe. In his case, I´d prefer the funny farm. Way more effective! You sense a certain dislike of Republican-centric attitude? Maybe, maybe not. Not all Romney said, was bad, and a few ideas of Obama I´ll better not comment. It was an election, usually done between two candidates, hopefully not the often costumary "My grandfather has been Republican, my father has been one, so I am one, too!" , same goes for Democrats. What I absolutely detested was Romney´s twisting and turning until nothing was left of his original personality to make himself eligible for multiple constituencies. Hey, Walt, hey, Annie, what´s the outcome of the election in Arizona? Bet you are hopping mad, having to get along with Obama the next four years. No, I am not out off my tree, I am talking to my remaining relatives there, fierce Republicans, dreadfully fierce Republicans, to be precise. No wonder that family relationships have gone down the drain!

Great, another soccer night! I am referring to my hubby and sons number two and four watching soccer on our superspecial extra big TV, the third day in a row. Oops, sorry, the second day with soccer, on Monday it has been talk shopping among musicians. Third day soccer will be tomorrow. Would not be this bad, but I have a very light sleep, and I hate the nightly Stumble-to-toilet-and-bump-into-as-many-obstacles-as-possible-game, which is played after drinking too much beer. It usually leaves me wide awake. Strangling my husband is not an option, because I am short, while he is not. My revenge? An old dictaphone on my nightstand! As soon as he tries to go back to sleep, my muses get into gear. Go, girls, go! This small black device will record all of your moves!  Hubby will not be amused, when he has to listen to all the plots!
