| Retiring.
A good blog should always be fresh, and this one has been quite stale. I will announce the bad news first: I'm retiring my xanga. It's been a good 4+ year run.
The good news? I am spurred on by people who actually confess they read this thing. I've been less than enthused about xanga, but not less enthused about writing. Starting Feb '09 I will be moving Life as He Reveals to a new site. Stay tuned!

| I Don't Know English.
My grandma is a riot. I don't know how she does it, but she's able to scoot by without English just by being cute. I even have people coming up to me at Safeway telling me that my grandma is cute. Is this what it's like to tote your baby around and bask in all the compliments?
So I like a proud granddaughter am posting this video as evidence of the alleged cuteness.
Grandma: (Downplaying her abilities) Don't tape!

Grandma: When the phone rings..."Sorry, I don't know English."

| Hope is Attractive.
"The world is changing," I overheard one co-worker say today with a tinge of glee. I've never witnessed an election attached with as many emotions as this one. It's made me realize how much people want to hope in something, or somebody in this case. Hope is attractive.
There must be certainty in hope, otherwise hope is in vain. Hope in anything less than certain is misplaced.
I long for the day when my hope is complete. That day when injustice is finally overturned and ultimate authority belongs to One who is faithful and true.
That day is not yet here. But I eagerly await its coming, when things are finally the way they are supposed to be.

| Election 08.
Today I filled out my absentee ballot. If I were more on top of things I would have actually filled it out with enough time to mail it instead of having to go to the polls to drop it off. But oh well.
Besides voting for President of the United States, I also voted for whether chickens and other livestock should have adequate space to "fully extend their limbs and turn around freely" in their confinements. I'm not sure what my former overseas host country would say to that! But not to be topped by what was on our city ballot. San Franciscans are voting on a measure to rename a sewage plant to "George W. Bush Sewage Plant." Despite what you think of Bush, this is just a bit ridiculous I think.
SF alone had Propositions A through V for the voter to consider. A through V!
