Bless you!
My friend sent me the link to this video, and I'm still laughing so hard my stomach is hurting.
A little warning though, if you're eating or drinking something, stop that while you watch this, or you may choke. ^^

So, do you feel older?
Happy birthday...
...to me!
Yup, so today I'm turning 20.
What exactly does that mean? I'm already allowed to buy alcohol and cigarettes, get a drivers license, go to clubs.
I don't go to clubs, I don't have a drivers license yet, I don't smoke, I don't drink - not much anyway, wine or something here and there.
It also means, I'm no longer a teenager. Which is good...
I can't seem to avoid the question "So, do you feel older?"
What kind of question is that?
Sure. Yeah. Right, I feel older. I wake up and suddenly I feel older. Is that a wrinkle?
No, for goodness sake, I don't feel older. I feel the same I did yesterday!
If I feel older, I'll only feel a day older than I did yesterday, and you'd have to be super sensitive to feel any difference from yesterday to today.
But anyway, on to the good stuff. I took the day off and SO did too. He's in the kitchen right now cooking my favorite dinner. Ham, stewed kale, regular white potatoes and sugar glaced potatoes. Yum.
He also woke me up with coffee, breakfast and singing. All days should be like today...

Designer Genes
I just read an article about selecting against genes.
A couple from the UK had eggs sorted and only a couple of healthy eggs used. The reason for the couople to go through this, was that they had had a boy a long time ago that was suffering from cystic fibrosis.
The article asks some people what they think about it. And everybody is positive about it and would like to have that option.
I honestly don't know what to think about it. On one hand it's a good thing, because it can prevent alot pain, emotionally and psysically. I'm not too concerned with genes being chosen over others, because that happens everyday. Naturally aswell as in test tubes in a lab; The stronger eggs and sperm cells have a better chance of developing. So that in itself doesn't worry me too much.
What worries me is that it could be a healthy couple, that aren't in any risk of having seriously ill children, that have this done. It worries me that if this is just available to anyone who can pay, then we're moving towards making children a product. A product that we can more or less walk in and buy. I do worry a little that one day "designer babies" will be seen as a human right.
No one knows if it will be taken that far, and many people will argue that that won't ever be legal, it isn't ethical. No, sure it isn't, but what is ethical today and what is ethical in 50 years is two different things.
And what if this method fails? What if a couple pays alot of money to have a healthy child and they don't get a healthy child? Maybe they will get a child with a genetic defect that no one would have been able to see. Most parents would love their child anyway, but just imagine if children were a product, wouldn't a child like that be a "faulty delivery"?.
In that case would there be a right of cancellation? Money-back gurantee? Replacement?
We might be better off just leaving as much of this up to nature as we can...

Romantic old crap...
March 2005 we moved into, what we thought, was a romantic old house.
The paint on the outside was peeling, there was no less than 3 different layers and colors, the entrance so low that you have to watch your head when you walk in, red/earth colored floor tiles, more peeling paint and broken panels, old wooden stairway that would shake a bit when walking up or down it, a small somewhat new kitchen, an old small bathroom with wood and green tiles, a tiny washplace, upstairs was a platform and two small rooms.
Perfect for the two of us, we would even have room for an office.
There was a well with a waterpump where all of the water for the house would come from, a boiler/oven outside in a shed, that would warm up water that then would run through the house and warm it up.
So romantic.
The landlord seemed like a nice lady too.
I don't think I've ever been more wrong.
It's now December 2006, our second winter in this house.
I think we've managed to actually tame the boiler so that it doesn't overheat and cause panic and shaking and rumbling pipes. It does get pretty cold though when we don't have time to fire up the oven. We need to buy a hairdryer, in case the water pump freezes over.
It's tedious, but it works. I guess. At least now we have a water pump that works, when we moved in, it didn't exactly work and we've gone for 4 or 5 days once without any water at all.
That is pretty creepy. Since that, the well has been "The Well from Hell"
The electric installations are illegal, wonderful.
I've taken a fall down the shaky, homemade, wooden stairs a few times and banged my head against the romantic stonewall. I guess you have to suffer for romance too?
One radiator isn't working, one garage door fell off, two electric outlets stopped working completely and the door to the oven needs to be kept shut with a stick.
The nice lady, landlord, turned out to be the MOTHER of the landlord. And the actual landlord, well, he creeps me out, he scares me and so does his wife.
He was screaming at my poor SO once.
So I guess we'll just wait till the romantic old house falls apart completely, shrug and find someplace else to live.
I don't think I'll ever rent with a private person again.

And here's the ultimate weirdness
