'Habemus papam!'

1238 It's always cool to witness history in the making. The television is on, the new pope has been elected and millions of people are waiting for him to arrive. Zhenjin said that he's in the crying room now because it's supposed to be "damn emotional". I can't wait for him to come out and bless the crowd.

me: i bet it's an italian
zj: i hope it's the black
so controversial
so exciting!

1240 The cardinal finally comes out! But he's speaking alot of latin, the crowd is going crazy with every sentence, it's joseph ratzinger from germany! The commentator says he is highly conservative.

1250 I see the new pope Benedict the 16th! The crowd is going wild, there's no translation so i don't really get what he's saying. He looks quite sprightly for his age.

me: he's against gay marriage?
zj: yah
haha
too bad to the homos

0104 The bells are still ringing. The pope leaves the balcony, some people are marching on St Peter's square. Break time!

zj: i am expecting another one within 10 years
me: is that blasphemy?

Things to do:
Find a way to deal with those pesky mosquitoes in my room. They never die.
Paint the wine rack and hope that the paint crackles.
Cut out Bai Ling's picture to make 'BAI LING IS MY BIATCH" tshirt.
Exercise every other day.
Do the cornell forms.
Make people go out with me.
Figure out how the government has come up with such an asceptic acronym as "IR" to describe a mega resort.
