And I wrote some poetry. Well, one poem. And it's really short. And it doesn't have a title. But I was feeling really melancholy at work today, so below the jump lies sappy-weird-poem-time. Beware!

First post in a looooong time. My apologies - I thought summer would mean lots of free time and motivation to write, but clearly I have done no such thing. Anyway, enjoy a more serious post as I shake loose the mental and comedy cobwebs.

But Blogger was down all yesterday, and the post that I so meticulously wrote for you all has disappeared. I know that it doesn't explain why yesterday would have been my first post in nearly a week, but I do have an excuse for yesterday.

Also, FINALS.

But they're over now, and posting should resume with some regularity now that summer has officially begun.

The following post is in Arabic!

Remember Harry Potter: The Musical? Well that stuff blows, watch this instead!

The following post is in Arabic!

No, this isn't about the movie.

Osama bin Laden is dead! President Obama stated that U.S. forces killed the founder of Al-Qaeda during a firefight - apparently Mr. bin Laden was hiding in a mansion near the capital of Pakistan.

Wait. Say that again? Hiding in a mansion? Near the capital?

I guess we know why Pakistan was so adamant about CIA operatives and American drones leaving their country. It's because they aren't doing what we have paid them millions of dollars to do! After all, the most wanted man in the world was chilling out in a grand estate right under their noses - their efforts to counteract terrorism and locate Osama were clearly less than vigorous.

But, I suppose it was a good political move by Obama to mention their help. The last thing we need now is increased tension.

You can read more about it here, and watch Obama's address about the event on Hulu.

Has it really been a week?

Maybe this will become a regular thing here.
