I just finished reading Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. Here is what makes Vonnegut incredible: when I finish one of his books, I feel like I understand something about life and the universe that I didn't before. And even though I can't quite put my finger on it, I know it's beautiful.

On a less reflective note, I got my nipple pierced yesterday, and I am feelin sexay. They'd only do half of the X I wanted, so I gotta wait for it to heal and go back for the other half. So it goes. Hurt like a motherfucker, but was totally worth it. Huzzah!
