Bonus points for correct use of parenthetical question.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor kitty.
In Wall Street news, I saw some excellent performance art this morning -- three identical women (wigs, makeup, suits) silently begging for change with a can in one hand and a briefcase filled with cash in the other. Good times.

Happy Belated Birthday to Matt and Cash.
My parents are here. They drove me back from visiting on Thanksgiving so they could see my aunt. My dad is 80 and seems to get very confused when driving in this city, so I am a little stressed about them getting to my aunt's this morning. (I took my dad along the route from my house to the bridge he needs to take to get to my aunt's, but I don't think it help.)
