Hello!

It's been a little while since I've said hello to the blogging world! I've been very busy-- a booming social life you know. The other night I was hanging out with some friends from church and impromptu-like we started trying to say "Hello" is as many languages as possible. I believe collectively we got up to 12! Now, I can't recall Cambodian, but I think I can remember quite a few others (although forgive the spelling!):

English: Hello (no doi!)
Spanish: Hola
French: Bonjour
Italian: Ciao or Bonjourno
German: Halo
Hawaiian: Aloha
Cantonese: Na-ho
Hebrew: Shalom
Swahili: Hujambo/Sijambo
Farsi?: Salam

Alright, that's 10ish, given that a couple are misspelt and another for which I'm not sure of the corresponding language. Can anyone add/enlighten/correct?

Need some inspiration on Election Day?

Recently, the Sacramento Bee asked readers to send in Haikus about the upcoming election. I found the results to be highly entertaining. Some are pretty straight-forward, people sharing their opinions, but many are very clever, and dripping with cynicism that can't help but make me laugh. The following are a few of my favorites:

Absentee votes count.
Bigfoot may really exist.
Just not in this state.

Propositions, bah!
Remember Nancy Reagan?
Just Say No to all!

Lawmakers draw their own districts;
How Cozy!
Elect Rand McNally.

I Gotta Have...

More George Michael! You should watch the Faith music video! Not so sure? Here are the top 5 reasons I think you should:

1. The one-leather-glove clap
2. The 5 o'clock shadow with razor sharp edges
3. The ridiculous booty shot in the very beginning
4. His mad dancing skills
5. You can't help but sing along!

"Work"

So I'm at work today, but I'm in an empty office. Unsupervised. I've got some things to do but nothing really really imperative. So what have I been doing? Well, for the last hour (after my hour lunch) I've been looking at e-mail and facebook and listening to the radio-- currently George Michael's Faith. Basically, I feel great! What would be better? If I could sit outside with a book and sunbathe. Although for me it would be more like sunburn... still...

Wow, that's... uh....

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. National Geographic is amazing. Meet Baby Sloth!

I'm very fortunate!

The other day I got a great fortune from a fortune cookie. This cookie told me, "You will be fortunate in everything." Wow! Really? Awesome! Best. Fortune. Ever.

Finally!

I finally got 10 out of 10 on the National Geographic Geography Bee Quiz! It was this quiz.
