Wait, how good am I at blogging?

Soooo good.

also, the MTV-esque Thai TV station is a really good contribution to my life. Best Song Ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SwiSpudKWI&feature=related

Hopefully this is the beginning of more international press as we lead up to the convention. Hopefully there will be at least some press in the States.
