D-Day approaches, Wrongful Detention, Social Life.

Hugh Lambert has predicted 97 seats to Labor and the claims (yet again)_ that the polls do not lie. Newspapers in Sydney will be interesting tomorrow as a businessman, annoyed that Howard "doesn't get" climate change and the Kyoto Protocol is spending $200 000 on full page ads urging a vote against him.

Almost on the radar is the tragic story of how the Australian Department of Immigration detained a man wrongfully for five years. Tony Burke, the best person Federal Labor has had for years in the Shadow Immigration role rightly wants a Royal Commission. The Ombudsman says there's another 200 similar cases.

Legend of the Ainu Nezumi game went off really well last Sunday; better than expected, and I consider myself a good GM. I had the opportunity to playtest some new rules which seemed to work quite well. Last Saturday caseopaya, imajica_lj and I went to see La Vie En Rose. It has its moments, but was disappointing overall. The Goddard-like jump-cuts detracted rather than enhanced and there were some serious legendary absences from the biography (e.g., Piaf's birth, her role in POW escapes, the prohibition on her receiving a Catholic funeral).

True.

I just really hate Vanstone is all.

Dislike Ruddock too but haven't met him or dealt directly with him to hate him -unlike most of the government since the Libs took power.
