Like A Teapot

It has been a turbulent few weeks. The Olympic game served as a big distraction. The sticky hot weather seems to have passed for the year. I am sleeping more regularly, feeling better, and looking better. I cut my own hair again and it looks better than before. I am taking Chinese medicine for my stomach problem and it has started working. Should have cut my hair and started the medicine sooner.

I finally embedded the Olympic theme song to the pertinent post. Sorry it took that long. I know people from different parts of the world revisited my lyric page for the song because I said I would try to upload it later. First it took nearly two weeks for my brother to pass along the music file. Then I had trouble uploading it to my opera files. Then the code given to me by a trusted friend did not work. I had to do my own research and use a different set of code found on the Internet.

This is an interesting week. Tuesday October 9 was the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Che Guevara, an inspiring Marxist revolutionary hero of Latin America. The handsome dude is a Gemini and a cigar lover. He was captured on October 7, 1967 and died soon after at the age of 39 at the hands of CIA-trained Bolivian forces. Serious commemoration is going on this week in a number of South American countries and his fans are around the world.

Wednesday, two days after my lament on a documentary on acupuncture, the BC government announced that the traditional Chinese therapy would be covered by the provincial medical insurance plan for low-income and other disadvantaged people starting in April 2008. What a coincidence!

Throughout the week, Nobel Prize winners of various fields are announced. I am waiting for the announcements of winners in literature and economics.
