The Gallery is hosting the Yosemite Exhibition. More to come later after the exams are done for good.
Concerning my recent trip, St. Louis was colder than Ann Arbor but damn, St. Louis was way cooler than Ann Arbor. Plus, I’ve kicked the Arch and I’ve seen the Mark Twain’s Mississippi. All I have to do now in order to complete the Tour of Great Rivers is to visit the Nile, the Amazon and the Yangtze River. Oh well.
The St. Louis Exhibition is scheduled after the current exhibition but in the meantime, enjoy the gallery.
p/s – Final score, Ajax 2 – 0 Feyenoord. And one bad news, the Netherlands is stucked with Germany and the Czech Republic in Group D for Euro 2004.
Today is Syawal the First, 1424 Anno Hegirae.And Ohio still sucks.

[225] Of going to St. Louis, Missouri
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.
