I hope to have an actual post sometime, but for now, I had to share this. The Tree is actually pretty douchey, but this, I think, is a lovely picture. Found via one of those weird mascot lists. I don't see why they put Li'l Red on there though. I mean, The Tree is clearly way weirder.

It's a review of a book about Burma, and although I only skimmed the review (it's long), I got the impression that it was something that *I'd* be interested in, and maybe you too. The guy is interesting--he lives in South Korea and writes science fiction and is interested in these kinds of issues.

That's a really interesting thought.

When he writes and publishes his book, we can both read it.)
