August 9, 2008: Shit Hits the Fan

Good god, what the fuck happened while I was asleep?

1) Russia invaded Georgia
2) John Edwards admits he had an affair

THEN, at noon, while we were shopping at the Yashow Clothing Market, I get this text from Kristyn:

"cnn is reporting that 2 americans were shot at the drum tower at noon b4 a guy jumped to his death"

So, while we were eating breakfast, a Chinese man stabbed (not shot) 3 people (two americans and a Chinese tour guide) and then jumped off the drum tower (5 minute walk from our hotel, we can see it out the window). Good lord. The American man died and the women are in critical condition.

THEN, Bernie Mac died! WTF?!

tonight we met Chris Tucker at Block 8 though, which was weird in itself. As Matt said to me, the world is going to hell in a basket.
