"The higher a monkey climbs, the more you can see of its bottom."

Sometimes I really hate being Swedish. Or well, not really being Swedish, but the fact that I miss a lot of good tv-shows on account of being Swedish and not getting them to our networks. The show I'm talking about right now is QI or Quite Interesting. It's an absolutely fantastic show which starts many fascinating conversations (like the one about 911 and 112 that I had with my English manfriend) and what really sucks is that I know that my parents would love the show. Although I doubt that their knowledge of the English language is so up to date that they'd get the jokes without subtitles. Then again, they might surprise me. Parents tend to do that. When you're a kid you used to wonder if they could be any more embarassing and when you're a teenager you wonder if they can be any more annoying. Then you grow up and wonder if they could be any closer and any longer and all of a sudden you find yourself wondering how you could ever dislike them. It's a funny thing, growing up. A funny thing indeed...

Oh, snow!
