Luan Vu & Thanh Nha

I am digging the swinging rendition of Ngo Thuy Mien’s “Niem Khuc Cuoi” performed by violinist Luan Vu and the young, beautiful pianist Thanh Nha. She has some really nice syncopations going there. Check out more duets and interviews at Radio VNCR.

Not So Nice Images of Obama

Slanty Lover

A white chick who is turned on by slanty eyes. The dude is pretty much clueless of what she is talking about. I am sure this clip will piss off Mr. Angry Asia Man.

Obama Slams AIG

Obama speaks on AIG’s outrageous $165 million in bonuses:

But I think Mr. Liddy and certainly everybody involved needs to understand this is not just a matter of dollars and cents. It’s about our fundamental values. All across the country, there are people who are working hard and meeting their responsibilities every day, without the benefit of government bailouts or multi-million dollar bonuses. You’ve got a bunch of small business people here who are struggling just to keep their credit line open — that they are foregoing pay, as one of our entrepreneurs talked about, they are in some cases mortgaging their homes, and doing a whole host of things just in order to keep things afloat. All they ask is that everyone, from Main Street to Wall Street to Washington, play by the same rules. And that is an ethic that we have to demand.

How these guys can even sleep at night is beyond me.

Home Improvement Update

I am dead tired. The weekend has been rainy and dreary, but we managed to get the house cleaned up. The only task left to do before moving in next weekend is getting the carpets clean. We’ll hire professional cleaners of course. Do you have any recommendation in the area?

Now that the house is winding down, we will be concentrating on our new and even bigger challenge. Ready or not, he will come in 44 days or less. We still have nothing for him except for the gifts from Visualgui.com readers and the crib from my sister-in-law. A couple days ago right in the middle of the night, Dana put my hand on her belly and I could feel the little guy kicking his mommy. Now I can’t hardly wait to see him. We’ll have a great time together I am sure.

I am sort of watching this Vietnamese document.
