This picture - which you probably would swear is a 3D rendering - captivated me. I closed my eyes, and dreamt of China.

Here's the description:
"Shiqikongqiao ( Seventeen Arches Bridge ) crosses the water with a graceful curved design, linking Nanhudao with the mainland at the Summer Palace's Kunming lake in Beijing, The bridge has a handrail with some 500 stone carved lions and other exotic creatures."

Well I was debating whether or not to stick to the obscure, but Pearl Jam's "Yield" CD has been playing in my truck the last few days. So we'll head to the more popular side and go with track #10 - "In Hiding."

"I shut and locked the front door
No way in or out
I turned and walked the hallway
And pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around
But nothing's sound nothing's sound

I'd stay but my last cab left me
Ignored all my rounds
Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls
They were upside down

I swallow my words to keep from lying
I swallow my face just to keep from biting I, I..
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my pen wasn’t writing
I'm in hiding

It's been about three days now
Since I've been aground
No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
It's funny when things change so much
It's all state of mind"
