NewsHour induced head explosion and my Christmas Tree

I just finished watching PBS' NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and the final story of the night was a piece by essayist Richard Rodriguez on multiculturalism. The piece focused on Hawaii, Barack Obama, being Hapa and the book I previously posted about by Kip Fulbeck- Part Asian, 100% Hapa. Whoa, my head completely exploded out of awesomeness. I managed to scrape the remnants together in order to write this blog. I think I'm missing part of my temporal lobe though, so this could have happened days ago. I can't really remember. You can listen for yourself here, if you like. It might be a good idea to have medical attention standing by.

And just in case you are a glutton for punishment, here are some photos of my recently acquired Christmas Tree that may in fact make year heart explode. Check it:

This first one is a view of the tree if you are tall.



This next one is a view of the tree if you are not tall.



This final one is a view of my tree if you are running past it really fast (I was curious :) If you are running past it really fast, I suggest you slow your roll and enjoy the view. Also, why are you running really fast in my tiny apartment?



CHRISTMAS, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
