back to crazy

It's been a looong time since my last post, but as of 8:26pm tonight I am free of academia for a whole month. What better way to kick off winter break than with some weird news from a far-off land. Nope, this time it isn't Germany--it's Singapore, the city-state you'd love to hate if only that weren't illegal according to some anal-retentive law they passed back in the 90s. Don't believe me?
