I really have to stop planning my vacation on the spot. For the upcoming thanksgiving, I’ll be in St. Louis, Missouri.
The last time I did an impromptu decision, I found myself in the Sierra Nevada, stuck without food and electricity.
p/s – currently planning to pay Pasadena a visit. OHIO STILL SUCKS! LOL!!!
Currently, I’m having a post-game blues due to over-hyping and pre-holiday laziness. So, I’m too lazy do anything even though I need to write a paper on the Kyoto Protocol.
I thought that in order for me to warm up, it’s good for me read all the whole news and wrap it up. Here goes.
Georgia – political instability. The opposition seized the Georgian Parliament and the President threatens to declare a state of emergency and let the military takes over. Thousands camp out of the Parliament’s compound and effectively helping out the almost coup de tat. Unfortunately for the President, despite the threat made, the military went out to the Parliament’s compound and guess what? The military hugged and kissed the campers. LOL!
Lithuania – rally against the President as corruption allegation gains momentum. The President is screwed.
Croatia – elections. The opposition is currently strong enough to wrestle the governmental seat from the incumbent.
Iraq – The US military is taking on the offensive for the first time in months after dozens of US personals were lost to guerilla (not terrorism. I shall not cave in to newspeak) attack. The latest news, three more US troops were killed – two of them got their throat silted.
Afghanistan – more attacks and Al-Qaeda is encouraging more attack. Not really a development.
Turkey – post-bombing trauma.
Saudi Arabia – post-bombing trauma though the magnitude has reduced.
US – another Enron styled case is developing up. Watch out for Freddie Mac though not as serious. The NYSE might suffer another dip before the Thanksgiving break.
EU – textile trade war with the US officially starts.
China – textile trade war with the US starts as the US imposed tariff earlier this week on Chinese textile export to the US. Talk about the hypocrisy of free market. China and EU will probably team up and bash the US.
Japan – threatens to impose steel tariff on the US if the US refuses to remove the tariff imposed on Japanese steel. Another trade war.
Asia Pacific – the stock exchange in various prominent Asian Pacific nations took dip as the NYSE went down three percent.
Malaysia – NSTP’s chief editor, the prominent Abdullah Ahmad was sacked by the government despite NSTP being a private press. He was sacked due to his criticism of Saudi Arabia. The pressure most probably came from the Royal House of Saud.
Vietnam – first US warship visit to Ho Chi Minh City after the Vietman War. Its nice to see at least, some parts of the world are heading for flowers and pleasantries instead of AK-47 and M-16A.
Israel – Sharon offers more plans to dismantle Palestinians’ home.
Uganda – the local Church severs their relation with the US Episcopal due to the Crunch tolerance of gays. Gays…
and of course, Michigan – ROSE BOWL BABY. LOL!!! OHIO STILL SUCKS.
Kill all Buckeyes on sight. Although I’m an environuts, this is an exception. Let’s burn all buckeye trees and their lovers.
Burn, burn, burn, burn, kill, kill, kill, kill.

Anyway, Michigan is celebrating 100 years of bucking the Buckeyes. The people from some pathetic place called Ohio however is singing “we don’t give the whole state of Michigan a damn”.
Tomorrow, is the game, the game dubbed by the Michigan Daily as the one game to rule them all.
Tomorrow, the biggest college rivalry will be played – bigger than USC – UCLA, bigger than anything in the realm of pac americana.
errata – it’s we don’t give a damn for the whole state of Michigan. thanks to David. But, who cares? Ohio still sucks.
With all assignments almost done, I’m currently hyped on the upcoming Michigan versus Ohio State game.
It is sure going to be a blast. An optimist prediction, 28 against 3 in Michigan favor. That, might be biased but you could never be too biased with Ohio State.
p/s – I’m currently reading Leggett’s The Carbon War and so far, my favorite part is this:
…Back in the negotiating hall, it was doing just that. The US delegation had spent an hour and a half trying to get the words ‘climate change’ replaced with the words ‘global warming at the surface of the Earth’. There was little proof as yet, they said, that climate change would result from this warming.
The suggestion was met with barely suppressed annoyance, and, from Austria, ridicule. ‘Maybe we should change the name of the panel,’ they said, ‘to the “Intergovernmental Panel on Global Warming at the Surface of the Earth”.’
Wry laughter filled the hall.
pp/s – w00t! The Dutch is set for Portugal! Final aggregate is the Netherlands 6 and Scotland 1.
ppp/s – Ann Arbor is Overrated (AAIO), one of A²’s most famous blogs is planning a meet up. Wanna go? Mail me or leave me a msg and then we’ll wear a paper bag on our head! At the meet up, we’ll figure out how to make Annarbour (no, it’s not a typo) less suckier.
pppp/s – A friend from Minnesota told me that Poen’s father has just passed away. Be strong mate.
