There's something you don't see everday.

"...I just wanna bang on the drum all day..."
When I came home this evening, some Buddhist monks (?) were putting together a shrine right outside my apartment. Everything should be completed by tomorrow morning and I didn't want to disturb all of the goings-on. Instead I took a rather crappy photo of this drum in an intricately carved cart:

I especially liked the rooster on top. I'll try and capture some video if they play the drum!

Pete, what are the odds that monks would setup outside of your apartment as sheer coincidence? I think they are a chapter of one of those groups which come door to door to explain God to those of us who have never of such a thing before. This chapter is using the subliminal approach - that's why they have a drum. When they bang it - your brain will be saying Luke (er ah Pete) come to the dark side (voice will sound like James Earl Jones). Olga will have to have your arms checked for dragon tattoos like the shaolin priest (David Carradine) had tattooed on his arms once he became a monk. I am sure this the correct approach as TV shows are where I get all of my information with which to make my critical life decisions. When you wake up with those new tattoos you will have to send us a pic of what they look like ;-)
