However, I liked this particular song a heck of a lot more before I found out what the lyrics meant.
OTOH, it's obvious that the pixel-prima donna wouldn't give me the time of day...which means that in at least some ways this VOCALOID is just like real women!
This is practically AI.

I noted that they had a new board. I clicked to see what it's topic was and to my utter astonishment and not inconsiderable dismay it was devoted entirely to...

" Dekka Blue...Something about that dish we had at the White House is eating at me. "
Of course I'm talking about Bositang-gate.
James Taranto has an overview of how exactly it transpired that U.S. politics went to the dogs this week. Be warned though...there is a reason that he's a pun-dit.
More here, here and here.
Disclaimer: Though I'm by no means a fan of his, I don't actually begrudge the President this but it made me laugh and it's rare to be able to so effortlessly work Doggie Kuger into a post.

Now with Marion Barry's new idea involving... well I'll let him tell it...
"We've got to do something about these Asians coming in, opening up businesses -- those dirty shops," Barry said Tuesday night. "They ought to go. I'll just say that right now, you know. But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too."
Anyway, it looks like a good time to post those pics.
DC has two Chinatowns....official Chinatown and Actual Chinatown. You see, some years ago DC noticed that it HAD a Chinatown and it was shrinking, so they passed a bunch of strict ordinances to maintain the asian aesthetic, sponsored a big sports and entertainment center ( Now the Verizon Center) which made it a happening place. The appearance ordinances were a burden on small businesses, the influx of capital around the new entertainment complex raised rents and the small businesses run by Chinese-Americans had to leave. Note that those ordinances are still in place so Official Chinatown is now...this...




Aside from a few justifiably expensive restaurants Chinatown proper begins about half a block down.


We dined at the Chinatown Express, near the corner of 6th and H. It had two things visible that tend to bode well. WindowDucks* and a gentleman hand making noodles.

We noted upon entering that they had WindowPigs and WindowCuttlefish too. This looked exceedingly promising and we were not disappointed. About the only issue we encountered was that we both ordered rather too much...and ate rather too much...but this is not a reflection upon the establishment. The food was top notch! Even the fried rice was better than average. The noodle dishes were astounding.

In any event DC's ChinaTowns are only about two blocks square each. In Actual Chinatown there is a lot more to see, there are groceries, gift shops little drugstores and basically anything that isn't a gas station. Regrettably,we did not stay long nor peruse widely as our main business was elsewhere.
*Windowducks are utterly distinct from Wonderducks and the two should NEVER be conflated.
