First it was Hillary Clinton, then it was Grace Mugabe, now it's Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. Ja, nê, the wives of powerful men aren't having much luck.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! That is, if you celebrate it.

I found my new favourite tea!

Huiming. It tastes light, floral and fruity. Not really grassy. Smells really floral too.

It's amazing how a single plant can smell and taste so different depending on the production method, terroir and cultivar.

From what I gather it's a game that's buggy and easily abused...weren't the two of us already involved in a game like that? The only difference is this time it's intentionally so.

It gets lot more intense when the vulnerabilities are intentional.

Well, how do you propose we go about it?

The ANC branch nominations have concluded, and Ramaphosa won by a significant margin. This means everything for our country. Even if he is unable to rid the ANC of bad apples while still maintaining party unity, if the corrupt portion breaks off and forms their own party, then it weakens the ANC, which then becomes a good thing for the 2019 general elections, where the DA may finally score a victory. How is this good for Ramaphosa, you ask? It's not. It is good for the country, though.

Now we just need to see if the branch delegates remain faithful to their branches' decisions when the presidential election happens in ten days' time.

Alas, what with the holidays and all, I may be incredibly inactive. I'll still be kicking about but probably wont be to visible.

When the month is barely even under weigh and you're already completely fatigued. They decided they needed all hands on deck, so even though I'm now the trainer, I'm also leading a team on the days that there are no trainees. I might die before this month is over, but I'm gonna leave a sizable inheritance to my heir.

For any fellow Harry Potter fans.

That moment when you look into her eyes and tell her that you feel like she's falling out of love, and she just looks at you through your tears with cold impassivity. That moment when she holds you tightly and laughingly tells you she knows you think it means something, when it really doesn't.

Sadness is proof of impermanence.

Because of the snow I ended up staying home today, which means I started my vacation a day early. I think my primary goals this vacation are to spend a lot of time gaming (especially trying out all the games that I have but never played), spending time with my mom, and doing fun things for the holidays. For once, working on Wintreath will be a secondary goal, although of course I'll be active and doing things still.

Love is always like playing with fire, because even if you're absolutely sure you feel that way toward someone, there's no guarantee that they will or will continue to feel that way. It's always been interesting to me that arranged marriages are usually more stable than relationships built out of love. Sometimes I wonder if romantic love, or the addition to that feeling, winds up being an obstacle that gets in the way of good relationships.

But it's not like I've been in love or been in a relationship anytime recently.

If you live in a culture where it's expected that someone else can tell you whom you'll be marrying, it seems less likely that you'll view separation as an option. If you don't have the freedom to forge your union, it stand to reason you don't have the freedom to break it.
