Beat up on the Jelly

I woke up feeling kind of down today. Not really depressed, just a bit down. Coffee didn't help. Neither did Tai Chi. Mainly because I have no frikkin' clue how to do Tai Chi. Kind of like this poser.

Kind of strange that I was down this morning since just yesterday I was jumping up and down and screaming as Italy won the World Cup.

I guess I could have made my own France coffin, but I'm not sure my cat would have appreciated it as much as thousands of screaming Italians.
