I can't complain but sometimes I still do

Thanks to my friends who put up with my weird questions and answer them despite not having any understanding why I would ask such a thing. I am sometimes tempted to preface these questions with the phrase "Pretend that I am a space alien making first contact with the human race. Because I often have to pretend that too."

IFIAYAQD, isn't it? I'll have to see what I can come up with.

Ye canna change the laws of physics

My Portland connection, Simone, pointed me toward Roddenberry in the Park. (With video!)

Windrose? I am luring you. (: (I just hope nobody melts in the heat.)

Apparently you cannot shut me up today

But I found this in the Wikipedia and needed to share with as many people as possible.

On August 7, 1965, Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman, seeing no alternative to avoid further bloodshed, advised the Parliament of Malaysia that it should vote to expel Singapore from Malaysia. Despite last ditch attempts by PAP leaders, including Lee Kuan Yew, to keep Singapore as a state in the union, the Parliament on August 9, 1965 voted 126-0 in favour of the expulsion of Singapore, with members of Parliament from Singapore not present. On that day, a tearful Lee Kuan Yew announced that Singapore was a sovereign, independent nation and assumed the role of prime minister of the new nation. His speech included this quote: "For me, it is a moment of anguish. All my life, my whole adult life, I have believed in merger and unity of the two territories." Hence, Singapore became the only country in the history of the modern world to gain independence against its own will.

Food, glorious food!

I. Want. Ethiopian. I have for quite some time. So now I'm going to make it happen.
Maybe Zeni's. Maybe Queen of Sheba. Or that place on Lake Merritt.

I think it's going to happen Saturday after DJ class, but I'm not solid yet if you have requests to make. Come eat food with me, on a plate made of bread.
