    It is late at night; but I’m also late in replying! I first saw this update the day you posted it. But this week has been unordinarily busy (for reasons which will become clearer to all in the coming weeks) so I haven’t had a chance to write a reply till now. 🙁

    As for this election, I didn’t get all of my Christmas List wishes, but I got the Shenmue 3 and the nostalgic Pokemon G/S Remake (can you decipher the metaphor, kids?) so I’d say this Christmas in November was a success.
