I drove to work today. Which means I didn't take my hand bag.

Which means I left a lot of things at home that I use on a daily basis.

Wallet. Security swipe card. Cellphone. Dictaphone. Guitar picks. Samurai sword. Lawyer.

Bah.

Of all the days to forget to take my Samurai sword…

Occasionally, I like sleep with my ninja sword.

Nothing kinky, or anything.

Sometimes I just want to be held.

Don't we all?

Speaking of lawyers.

A friend of mine is a lawyer. He is well known in the local Chinese community.

He called today to say he had been approached by each of NZ's two major political parties to stand as a candidate in the next election.

He's flattered and very tempted, even though he's not sure about either party's politics.

Knowing him and the way he networks though, I fear this may be the start of him sounding me out to work for him in a support role should he choose to stand.

I hate politicians.

Still. Maybe what NZ politics needs is more ninjas acting behind the scenes…
