tabular_rasa | Monk and Dreams and Katzenland

I was watching Monk last night; I haven't seen it in ages, but I <3 that show. Stuff seems to have changed though, since I last watched it-- he seems more obsessed with cleanliness than either the counting or the ordering, which were more the points I related to him, on (yup, *watches Monk because relates to Monk* :-P). One of the episodes last night, though, had mini-Monk flashbacks! Aww! It was so cute . . . but very sad. No love for the neurotic. *Sigh* . . . even though that hippi guy that she did chose was hotter . . .

Then I think it was affecting my dreams, somehow; there was some like murder-mystery going on in my dreams last night, as well as tryouts for a musical (never try and sing during dreams-- or, at the least the way that I suspect I was singing, actually physically opening up my mouth and belting into my pillow in real life; thou shalt inevitably suck, good singer or bad!) with Nichole and Kristina, again, a stolen cello, lots of slimey things in jars in my orchestra locker of senior year (eww . . . )-- plus, erm, a few cookies and cupcakes, which had to do with Monk last night, completely, lol. Keith happened to have set up a table (in the middle of a murder at my high school O.o . . . ) selling cupcakes, too, but for some reason you had to play a game of miniature golf to win them . . . to win the right to buy them . . . it was like rationing, only the rations were by lottery/merit only . . .

Katzenland after the effects of last night's outstanding (Harry Potter!) issues:

The Holy Empire of Katzenland is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 273 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry.

Katzenland's educational system is the envy of many and regarded as a pinnacle of educational achievement, anti-government web sites are springing up, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and all guns must be registered. Crime is relatively low. Katzenland's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the katniph mausee.

Katzenland is ranked 547th in the region and 15,729th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens.

I would say that is a pleasant nation, if ever I saw one! I give thee everything; thou hast the freedom to do with it what though chooses, and money doesn't matter :-P besides, as our economy sucks, it's better the government gives you everything-- as it's like post-Depression America ^_^ just be working, and you'll get it all for *free!*

. . . and Tiffany is now on my Dossier, along with my mother. If anyone else has a NationState they'd like me to know about, Katzenland would like allies . . . (and this will be interesting to see how contrastingly conservative Tiffany will be in contrast to my absolute compassion, total social welfare, and near-anarchy :-P)
