Are you a Political Bandwagon Jumper?

Supporters in Obama — which means "small shore" in Japanese — have held parties to watch election results, put up posters wishing the senator luck and plan a special batch of the town’s "manju" sweets bearing his likeness.

"At first we were more low-key as Hillary Clinton looked to be ahead, but now we see he is getting more popular," Obama Mayor Toshio Murakami said.

Murakami sent a letter last year to Obama, enclosing a set of lacquer chopsticks, a famous product of this town on the Sea of Japan (East Sea) in Fukui prefecture’s Wakasa region.

"I will present you the chopsticks of Wakasa paint and I am glad if you use it habitually," Murakami said in the English-language letter. "I wish you the best of health and success."

Murakami noted that Barack Obama’s birthday, August 4, happens to be "Chopsticks Day" in the city.

I am still hurt by what this middle aged chick and her pathetic senior citizen sidekick at my church said.This chick named Rochelle tried to make me feel bad just because I don’t follow the crowd.She said that I won’t be successful just because I don’t always wear suits to church or fancy clothing.I am at church to get the word of God.I am not there for a fashion show.Its church,not a fashion runway.She said that God won’t bless me as much just because I don’t wear suits.She said I won’t get a husband just because I don’t go all out as far as clothing.
I just feel this drive to prove her wrong.She is basically saying that I will end up as a failure.

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Hi! I’m going to Brooklyn in July for a week. I’ve scoured the Web for places that could interest me as an architect and so far I have found:

-There will be an exhibition of DalĂ­ paintings in the MoMA from late June through September

-There’s a Japanese Hill-and-pond garden in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden

-There’s a traditional Japanese house called "Shofuso" in Philadelphia, not far from NY (in Amtrak)

-The Guggenheim Museum in 5th ave. was designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright

Any other suggestions?
