All that you have is your soul

I love Tracy Chapman -- she's so soulful and strong -- an activist with a rich voice.

During art class today, I listened to her song, "All That You Have Is Your Soul."  It's an important reminder to not find your worth in another person and to chase after the things that are true to your soul.  As you get older, it's easier to trade-in your idealistic dreams for more mainstream ones -- material possessions, power, status.

Here are the lyrics.  I need to listen to her more.

This week, I live in an ashtray

This week, I live in an ashtray.  I have colleagues visiting from China, and they even think it's bad.

Singapore's air pollution has jumped to PSI 371 (hazardous for grandmas and babies).  Luckily, I'm neither, but it's still gross.  You know it's bad when: A) you get *multiple* work emails saying to stay home, B) your company hands out face masks in the office lobby.
