Botched Shot Attempt
Everybody likes soft serve / down in the June sun /.../talk about the botched shot attempt on the president... - Soul Coughing (Soft Serve).
One of the first thoughts to run through my head last night when I was sure that Obama is the president-elect was: I wonder when the first assassination attempt will be. I think that McCain offered an immaculate concession speech urging us to come together as one nation and support our leaders. That might have deterred some who had thoughts of avenging McCain's defeat.
When Obama gave his acceptance speech, I noticed the glass in front of him and thought it might be a bullet-proof barrier between him and an angry right-wing extremist. I guess we'll see how it pans out. I wish nothing but the best for my country and its leaders and hope that the first assassination attempt will never come, or if it does that it's unsuccessful.

PimpStar Rims
These things are pretty crazy. They cost more than entry-level brand new cars. Pretty awesome tech. Also, props for a good, non-cheesy theme song.
Pick #100
30 Seconds to Mars - "From Yesterday" from A Beautiful Lie
yet another song I heard on Pandora.

First Swahili Dream
I had a dream last night where I spoke a few words in very broken Swahili. That's pretty cool...I mean, it's not like my first Spanish dream where a lot was said. I think I'll spend more time on Swahili next semester when I have a lighter course load.
Lotto
It bugs me that places won't sell lottery tickets to people younger than 18. I know that you have to be 18 to gamble, etc. and I'll not get into a rant on how I loathe age restrictions. My point is this:
Stores should sell as many lottery tickets to everyone they possibly can. The trick is that they should not let anyone under 18 REDEEM a winning ticket. Youngsters will learn that they lose, even if they win. Someone else must be contracted with in order to redeem the winning ticket, and the prospect of repayment to the child is uncertain and if paid, would be less than the winning amount. After enough such encounters, kids would wait until they could claim all their winnings.

Sweet Lasers
I didn't know that lasers are available in so many colors. Check out CNI's website for some cool pix. I can't seem to find prices.
