Stormont weather: elections in Northern Ireland

As the newly enthroned Khan of the Manchus, Hong Taiji has a lot of plates to keep spinning. Conquest of Joseon Korea to the east, conquest of the Chahar Mongols to the west, and continuing to pound against the ever-weakening Ming Dynasty to the south. But he still has time for aesthetic considerations, such as the fact that names like "Jurchen" and "Jin" are so passé, while names like "Manchu" and "Qing" are the new hotness.

Lyrics:
Lounging behind the mall
We take whatever we can get
Slowing the fall
By dragging on a cigarette

No plan and no scheme
Just living the dream
And killing fifteen quoting movies
Movies

In the passenger seat
Driving down the highway just for fun
A dashboard CD
Reflects the noonday sun

We speed round a curve
Pretending to swerve
The day is a blur quoting movies
Movies

Nothing really to do
The entertainments are few
Well, we try to make due, but restlessness somehow seeps through

Bursting with energy
Tiring of company
Trying to run from ennui but never quite breaking free

Sinking into the couch
With a six pack and a bag of chips
A lazy man slouch
Junk food tongue and salty lips

Bad dick jokes and names
And video games
Just more of the same quoting movies
Movies
Movies
Movies

Movies

morning at Weizhou Island

An audio journey through the 5000 year history of one of the world's oldest continuous civilizations.
