Hey, Mark! I turned 18 awhile ago and got some sick tattoos! You should swing by my newly rented apartment soon and I can show you the sweet Gatling gun I got at the weapon shop yesterday for some million bucks. When you come, we could play for the lottery together, and party all night with the worry of getting sued and serving jury duty.Then we'll go to Vegas to gamble and  pick up two hot chicks and be like "WHOO!" at our hotel. And since I have a credit card, we could order room service for our ladies. We'll then vote for McCain and Palin, and to straighten ourselves after all of this, we'll go to the Army recruiting center and spend our lives in Afghanistan 'till the War on Terror ends. Wait Mark, you're 18, right?

Swan Lake

Last Wednesday, the four of us went to see "Swan Lake" at Lincoln Center. The seats were okay and the sound was a bit too soft and the set design was too minimalistic and Odelia tripped and fell (come on, NYC ballet!) and a person in the next row was coughing not stop, but still, it was wonderful and many thanks to Mom to make it all happen.
