NPR today was playing an interview with Albie Sacks, a one-time South African freedom fighter who now sits on the Constitutional Court there. He has one of the most beautiful accents I've ever heard. It's a combination of British and African, and it was so enthralling that it was nearly enough to distract me from driving. His was a really fascinating story too. Though white, he was a freedom fighter against the minority government and lost an arm and an eye in a car-bombing intended to kill him. His memories of the history of South Africa are really worthwhile listening. I wish I knew more about world politics and history. I was just never interested while I was in school. I was much more into science, and computers. I was into a little history and politics too, but they were the history and politics of entirely fictional worlds....

Tonight was spent over at [livejournal.com profile] posicat's place, eating left overs from Saturday's dinner and watching three episodes of Heroes. God/dess but we have a lot of food left over still. That's okay; I'm sure my family will put away most of it when we have dinner with the tomorrow night.

I may have mentioned it in the past, but I must once again point out how bogglingly cute Masi Oka is as Hiro Nakamura. *squeeeee* Thanks for having us over Posi! Sooner or later we'll be caught up on Heroes again. Maybe I can finally find sources for the rest of the season three House episodes and we can catch up on those over here too.
