ooooh, i want cool ranch doritos.
Not unless you're reading dirty poems in Latin.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I'm not insane for getting absolutely cheer-uped by Dr. Who, right? This show reminds me the stuff I like about life. Also, that I might need more of this life things.
Hell, my one consistent wish has always been (grammar?) a time machine.
(Yeah, and a better understanding of English grammar wouldn't hurt as well, but that's something I can improve on my own. Alternatively, I can't invent a time machine on my own).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
'Has always been' is definitely advanced (and correct) English grammar!

Thanks, Theo!
Cool news of today: yes, one can print on pergament paper! And it turns out great. The booklet for the album-I-like-gift-for-friend is gonna be so beautiful. Yay black and white CC licence pictures of the Flickr's lazy search-shire.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Huh. Some bunch called the Legatum Institute has ranked Australia as the world's most prosperous country. [link] The US ranked equal 4th. At a rough guess, there's unlikely to be much statistical difference between the first 20 or so countries, but the important message to take away from this is that we beat New Zealand.

Which Dr. Who cheered you up? I was immensely cheered by "Partners In Crime" over the weekend. Fun times!

Dropping Mister Kitty off at the vet because he's not eating and gagging when he tries is not how I want to start my days. My poor old man cat.
