Safina and other cozy-factors in early November

One of the worlds greatest fighters is playing Venus Williams i Doha today - I'd say that qualifys her for the title Player of the day:

I'd also like to mention, as I'm also a big fan of her brother Marat, that although he's great Dinara by far passed him this year.
Inerestingly enough she used to have the same temprament problem hindering her to play the great tennis she has in her. As he but by some magic blow of the wind, she just overcame it. I really hope she'll be able to win her first Grand Slam next year.
First and formost I wish her victory in Doha.








Stockholm was cold today.
These to items keep me warm:

A pair of gloves bought at indiska for 79,90
Cozy-factor:









A movie called "Brisby & the secret of Nimh". It's about a couple of mice who wants to move their house to the lay of the stone.

Election-time

Finally it's election-time, should I chose to watch TV or just finnish the Buster Keaton box?

No, serriously... Tonight's the night Obama will be voted president of USA.

I've been somewhat hessitive towards the democratic system in the US for quite some time.
One of the reasons is that a political system can be more or less promoting of ones democratic right to vote. The more people who vote equals the democratic strenght of a political system (corrolating with the number of political parties/candidates you can choose beteen).

Hindrens to a more democratical US

- You have to register to vote!
- Elections are held on a Tuesday (and people have to take time off from work to vote)
- The system is not organized so that it's nececcerily the candidate who gets the most votes who win, there's something called elector-states which can screw up the hole thing.
