THE GAME to get. Now if only I had a suitable computer to play the game with...hrm...I'll buy a new computer after I've accomplished several things at work/ school first. 
Oops. Here's the second photo, this one is Takeda Shingen, the Tiger of Kai. The previous one is Uesugi Kenshin, the Dragon of Echigo. 
Two Daimyo from the Warring States Era of Japan that I admire very much, Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen. They fought the famous battles at Kawanakajima, and the 4rth battle has been immortalized in all forms of media.

Monsters!

On Reuters 'Oddly Enough' page, which I read regularly, Sweden's Great Lake monster is now fair game ! Get out ye rifles and dynamite, we a monster killin go! Actually it was quite fun to read about these monster's from the deep: find out more about Sweden's no longer protected monster at http://www.storsjoodjuret.com/ .

RNC

This is why I like the New York Times Editorials...this article (and this one ) about the recent RNC activities in NY. I agree with Mr. Krugman when he says it's scary what could happen if the Republican's control over this country tightens. I fear if the majority of this country chooses to let Bush remain in power, then it is a sure sign that the mighty U.S. is beginning to crumble. All empires must fall someday, and the higher they have risen, the harder the fall. Those who are truly patriotic must help to decelerate the inevitable, and eventually, lead the way to a new order. I will do what I can---vote!
