Rogue Turtle

Rogue Turtle is alive and well!  I replaced his front tire tube today and am ready to ride again!  Too bad it will snow soon =[

Only in Asia!!!

My friend Nicholas is a Singaporean exchange student who is a very witty english major.  He decided to introduce me to what he considered to be the ridiculous antics that his home country sometimes performed.  The tourism board of Singapore decided that the country needed a national symbol, so they invented the Merlion.  Its half lion, half fish, and its all hilarious.  Oh but wait, it gets better, they built a giant merlion at a place called Sentosa, in the day it is perfectly normal,
but at night it shoots lasers from its eyes!
I almost wet myself

Revelry

There are drunk and cheering people everywhere.  Horns are honking, and more horns in response, as people yell and dance in the streets.  There is a very sincere joy in the people I walk by as they smile as though they just had their first kiss, a kind of giddy unrestrainable smile.  I cannot help but be happy for their happiness, and get caught up in their joy =]
If he is as good as they believe, I will be very content with his presidency.  I am a little bit uneasy that the democrats just took over both houses in addition to the presidency though... At least we'll finally get some liberal judges who realize that the constitution is not an opportunity to legislate lifestyle.
