Temporarily Japanned

As anyone reading this undoubtedly knows, I am currently vacationing in Japan and so will not be posting again until about mid-June. Before I sign off, though, predictions for what will be the case by the time I come back:

• Hillary Clinton will be out of the race.
• McCain and Obama will be virtually tied in national polling.
  
• The Lakers will be NBA champions.
• I will have awesome shoes.
• I will have an awesome Batman shirt.
• I will have an awesome watch.
• I will have a newfound appreciation for how shitty public transportation in the Bay Area is.

Ok, well, bullets 4, 5, and 7 are cheating because they've happened already--but whatever.
