WHAT'LL IT BE, FELLAHS?

Post numero deux will have nothing to do with anything I talked about in my first one!

It is around the third hour of the a.m here in Japan and I have been sitting on my bed, holding my knees up to my chin, furrowing my brows trying to understand the Japanese man (whose eyebrows seem perpetually furrowed) on this news program. This is no time to muse about simmered daikon radish; now marks a very important moment in American history!

The coverage on the election here is excellent; very detailed and informative. It's actually really intense, the newscasters keep lowering their voices and asking these suspense-laden questions on America's future while dramatic music plays in the background. I feel like I am keeping up with the election from the future--which MUST be true since I am 12 hours ahead of U.S. East Coast time. So far, and excitingly so, the future is looking hopeful and positive and BLUE. I would say donkey-flavored, but that is not very vegetarian.



Anyway, I am Obammin' like a mo fo, and while there is still a half day left of voting to be done over yonder, my fingers are crossed that most Americans are doing the same. It will be around noon here when the results are supposed to be revealed, so until then, happy, happy voting--do so for change! To my fellow Asia-based overseas American citizen absentee brethren folk: cross your fingers too, and isn't it awesome being in the future?

オバマ！

P.S. Apparently the Japanese youngn's are starting to use Obama's name to describe an older man that is found attractive. Fluff yeah!
