Happy May Day! and The Mini PaperPinwheel

For some reason, this blog isn't really doing it for me lately...I'm not sure whether or not I'll continue to post here...maybe once I head back to Asia and feel like I have more to write about. For now, I'm moving over to Tumblr: http://ngawangpadme.tumblr.com/. It's the Mini PaperPinwheel...Oh, and I FINALLY sent my book proposal out...
