That's what I've been telling everyone!

I've bee 27 for 24 years now, but this simply confirms it.

You Are 27 Years Old

27 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Canajen. eh?

While running through my daily favourites, I found this from Out of Lascaux. While enjoying a good chuckle, I thought I'd try to test to find out if I actually belong in Canada at all, and discovered not. I am however, proud to say that I'm a huge fan of New Zealand, which is, after all, where I apparently belong........

You Belong in New Zealand

Good on ya, mate You're the best looking one of the bunch Though you're often forgotten... You're quite proud of who you are

What English Speaking Country Do You Belong In?

Art Night at Erotic City

From Lewis at Bizarre News

"It seems a club in Boise, Idaho has come up with a unique
solution to a zoning ordinance which prohibits total nudity
in strip clubs.
There is a clause in the ordinance which gives nudity ex-
clusions for artistic displays which include dance, ballet
and dramatic performances, so every Monday and Tuesday,
the club encourages customers to sketch the models as they
perform nude routines.
"As far as the Boise city code, it specifies it has to be
a serious artistic manner and this is a serious artistic
manner," said Chris Teague, Erotic City owner, so he
distributes pencils and sketch pads to patrons during
"art night."
The club has put on art night for two months and has not
received any complaints. You have to appreciate that kind
of ingenuity. "

From Modern Drunkard Magazine Online

I'm supposed to be writing...but wanted to learn about memes instead

Report cards, because I'm not allowed to go skiing with the school today, because I have some new Moms who said I can't go out and play until the nasty cold goes away.

Disappointing as that was, they're right, and my ear is still blocked up, so I should go back to bed and recuperate if I'm not going to write report cards.

Being the finest of procrastinators, I've updated my other blogs and asked myself: "What exactly is a meme?"

FAQ the first explains them as units of intellectual or cultural information that is passed on from one to another. The FAQ gives some lucid examples, and is engagingly written.

And then I found this Meme Tree and now I simply can't go back to work! It's like waiting for your name to appear at 2,000 mph at the bottom of the TV screen if you've donated $20 to the telethon.

Only better.

The Common Cold

The last time I had the common cold, I had to appear onstage that evening. It was also a Saturday and that common cold wrecked the whole weekend. Of course, I was well enough to work the following Monday.

Well, it's Day 2 of the Common Cold and I'm well enough to get to the computer, and not well enough to manage work. And because it's not the weekend, I feel guilty. So I think I'll go back to bed once the room stops spinning. This keyboard is making so much noise, it's making my false teeth hurt.

Did I mention it's a perfectly beautiful blue sky winter day with the thermometer well above freezing? Damn it.

Useless Tests because I'm too ill to think

Mom was right

Where's the ANYKEY?

Sometimes you like to learn something because it's fun. Second City fr'instance. Sometimes, it's a have-to, but feels good later. Another language, perhaps.

But computers, and right now, Blogger, Hello and picture sizing are giving me grief. I just want bigger pictures up, but it cost me about three hours last night to no avail, and now they're back down to puny.

And it's report card season, where the time should be spent elsewhere. Go figure.
