hmmmm.

I seem to have slowly lost my blogwriting muse. And I don't have any interesting pictures to post. I need to be re-inspired. Mainly, sunshine and thoughts of motorcycle ownership are inspiring me tonight. Tomorrow it will be thoughts of sleep. After that...thoughts of what exactly "next" is and when to start doing it.

Here's the job description I wish I met the requirements for:

In the meantime, it's another all-nighter keeping Houghton safe so all those students can study for their finals...

Ooooh! Ooooh! Something to post!

"Tanzania, once dubbed the 'man-eat-nothing' society by its East African neighbours to reflect its socialist leanings, is now outperforming both Kenya and Uganda and is set to increase the growth gap over the next decade. A large measure of its ongoing economic progress can be attributed to political stability (on the mainland) and, a so far, incorruptible top leadership. The former president, Benjamin Mkapa stepped down after two terms as demanded by the constitution and the country's new leader, Jakaya Kikwete was the natural heir. But Kikwete, writes Ahmed Rajab, editor of Africa Analysis, has his own firm views and while he might not rock the boat too roughly, he is likely to sharpen the country's economic direction."

-Ahmed Rajad, in African Business

Notable Event: an African leader aceding to term limits. Sweet! Go Tanzania!

Hey man. Cool note on Mkapa and Kikwete. If you are looking for a slightly less thought-provoking read, I'd suggest "White Hunters" by Brian Herne for some entertaining hunting stories and interesting interpretations of the relationship between hunting and conservation.
