One last thing before bed...

Happy Bunsen-Burner Day (Mar 31) to everyone!

Current Mood: celebratory

I had my first ever Big Mac (hold the cheese and pickles) tonight.  Not bad, but honestly...I don't get what all the fuss is about.

If a better time can be had anywhere in the world for approximately US$10...I'd sure like to know about it.

Here I am watching "Showgirls" before going out for a night of live-band karaoke...



When I read that some people call "Showgirls" the greatest post-modern comedy of all-time...I thought they were out of their minds. Then I saw "Showgirls". It will change your life. You will measure your life in "before I watched 'Showgirls'" and "after I watched 'Showgirls'".

Be sure to get the VIP Edition and listen to the amazing commentary.  You will laugh until you cry!

Since all the cool kids on LJ are writing posts about the immigration issue, I thought I'd just throw in my 2 cents (or maybe 2 jiao) from China.

Since the founding of our country, we have been a country afflicted with severe Schizophrenia regarding immigration.  With this post, I will single-handedly defuse today's most contentious issue (or maybe not).

A couple of quotes to start off:

• "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." -- inscribed on the Statue of Liberty
  
• "If one attitude can be said to characterize America's regard for immigration over the past two hundred years it is the belief that while immigration was unquestionably a wise and prescient thing in the case of one's parents or grandparents, it really out to stop now."  -- Bill Bryson in Made in America, in his great book on the history of the English language in America

I got around to uploading the pics from Peggy's wedding that I went to on Saturday night.

Tammy took them all, so I can take no credit for good or ill on their quality.
