"Mum, how do you wire money into an account?"
"Hm? What for?"
"For my skateboard components."
"Ah. That's easy..*tells me how* How much does it cost?"
"*mumbles amount*"
".....What do you think you're doing??"

Uh-oh.
Not exactly what happened, but you do get it, don't you?
In the end, the Kaiser Fund was confiscated (NOOOOO....) and placed behind an impenetrable wall called Savings (NOOOOOO.....kay. Okay, okay. Fine..savings, yeah.)
And now I don't know what to do.
Currently I'm comforting myself with the thought that
--perhaps Kaiser might be the cause of an accident that would break both my hands, hence forcing me to cease drawing, playing the piano, or engaging in the simple joy of rock-paper-scissors.
After such perusals, I feel only relief.
And now Kaiser sits forlorn. What to do..what to do..I can either:
A. Store Kaiser in my closet until I have my own income, then proceed to buy the components I need and go off into a great adventure.
B. Sell Kaiser and proceed to make a business out of painting on skateboard decks.
C. Store Kaiser and find a job and at the same time try to sell Kaiser and go with whatever comes first.

I'm leaning towards C. This is just a slightly unpleasant heads-up.

Book for Sale: Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go at P250
Never Let Me Go is narrated by a 31-year old woman named Kathy. She's remembering her days at Hailsham, a boarding school where creativity and health were emphasized. None of the children have parents or surnames. She has rekindled friendships with Ruth and Tommy, friends from her Hailsham days. The three of them find they don't fit into society, that they're not been prepared for a normal life. The children of Hailsham are all clones, bred and raised solely to be organ donors once they're adults. Kathy and Ruth both fight over Tommy's attention, and he has fits of temper. The three of them, though, agree to hold onto each other forever, unsure of the future that awaits them. Kazuo Ishiguro's novel has received high praise with the Guardian saying, "This extraordinary and, in the end, rather frighteningly clever novel isn't about cloning, or being a clone, at all. It's about why we don't explode, why we don't just wake up one day and go sobbing and crying down the street, kicking everything to pieces out of the raw, infuriating, completely personal sense of our lives never having been what they could have been."
