Emilia's the best, honestly. She sent me some good advice by e-mail the other day.
"Have a nice weekend!! Go out somewhere and at least flirt wildly with some cute man so you'd cheer up!!"
Wonderful! She could've just as well said something along the lines "Go and steal a nazi plane and fly to South Africa so you'd cheer up!!" - makes no difference to me.
Har har.
She's known me for years. We've gone out partying together loads of times. How often she's seen me flirting with anyone? Not once, I'm pretty convinced. I wonder if she has advicing lines stored somewhere and she just randomly pastes them to e-mails hoping they'll fit.
ps. I am not being mean, it's all just tender sarcasm.
pps. I don't think I even need cheering up. I'm not particularly miserable. I just am.
They show the Oscars on telly tonight, live show, starting at 1am. I'd love to stay up and watch it, like I did last year, but I know the following three days would kill me. I have too much going on right now and I can't blow it. No matter how much I'd like to know, in real time that is, whether Johnny Depp wins an Oscar or not, I'm afraid my IT passport (worth of one full credit if I pass both the exams, woaah..) is more important this time.
Bugger.

Note from the future:
I read through what I'd written and have now officially labelled this the nerdiest post ever. Somebody save me..
Just watched The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I've never read the comic - no sorry, the graphic novel - so I liked it. I even liked Shane West though I have no idea what Tom Sawyer was doing there anyway.
Inspired by the film, I'm surfing IMDb again. Since when has Dorian Gray been an American character???! Stuart Townsend is a good choice for the part though. He's pretty and cocky enough (who would've thought after Shooting Fish?).
Random thought: I think it's neat Richard Roxburgh has played both Moriarty and Holmes.
A bit more 80s cartoon talk and then I'll stop, honest.
I'd do anything to get my hands on the soundtrack of this! I know people, even the ones who haven't done so yet, will look down on me now.. It's crap but I love the movie. And the songs. The Mad Hatter song, Cheshire Cat's song, the Wonderland song, the eding song (with "pickled beet - oooh!") and Grumpy's rap. Sigh.. I still have the movie taped somewhere. Need to find it next week I go to Karkkila.
ps. there's a poster!
Tried to read the Age of Innocence. As my attention span is very short today, I got through only about 25 pages. Had to stop right in the middle of Newland & May's wedding because nothing was making sense any longer. So very sad.
Edit: Tao Tao theme in German! This is too much!
Thursday, February 26, 2004
I went to that page that page with the Snorks theme. I didn't just download it, I downloaded all I knew. Perfect moment of nerd happiness. But I do have to say it does make you feel silly when you realise you're sitting in front of your computer singing the closing theme of Captain Planet on the top of your lungs.
But really, he's our hero, he's going to take pollution down to zero.
This has its downsides as well. All I could think through poetry was "heroes in a half shell, turtle power!"..
Me and Suvi went to a flea market and what did I find? A Gummi Bears tape! It must be a sign! The only thing that prevented me from buying it yet was the fact it cost 6e. That's quite a lot for a Gummi Bears tape. But I really would love to own it.. I have the first tape, with the pilot and two other episodes, somewhere but I've watched it so many times another wouldn't hurt.
I might have to get it next week. :)
Entertaining school moments: I was sitting between Kari and Jaakko before the poetry lecture started. I was talking something very random to Jaakko when suddenly I hear Kari's voice half growling, half whispering "mosh mosh!" and for about half a second I was surrounded by a huge, violet hair cloud. Almost couldn't cope.. he has his moments. Plus very good conditioner, says my cheek that got to feel the hair.
I am bored. And I think I've done one or two cheesy Quizilla quizes too many. Anyone know any good surveys I could fill in?

The Wuzzles. Oh deeeear.. first I was convinced I didn't know them at all. Then I saw a picture and the memories came rushing back. A colouring book I used to have when I was little. That's it, my Wuzzles experience. What a shame.
I remember loads of sacred 80s stuff, but I've also missed out some of the fun. Like The Goonies. Although it was my nearly desperate mission about two years ago, I still haven't seen it. Merh.
I suddenly find myself missing the Gummi Bears. I want them back on telly, damnit! The cartoons nowadays are crap. MTV3 shows He-Man on Saturday mornings, which is very nice, but all the other good stuff is gone. I remember the days when Saturday mornings were the best thing there was. Gummi Bears, The Smurfs, The Snorks.. Tear.
But now I've got to lose all this 80s nostalgia, it's not healthy. Next on the list: the early 90s. Hurrah!
Except that.. no. I made the fatal mistake of choosing Neon 2 (the quality year of 1992!) as background music on Saturday night (the question remains: why???). Mistake because 1) me and Emmu couldn't stop singing along 2) which made us realise we still know the songs by heart 3) they're now stuck in my head and won't go away. But now I can go another 12 years without listening to the tape. And maybe the songs will be out of my head by 2008, if I'm lucky :|

Robbie: Tralala..
Hanna: I've got news for you, pal. You're going down!
Word of warning: This freaking out is something only another 80s child can understand.
Oh. My. God.
They've got the Snorks toys! And here I was starting to believe I'd imagined the whole show since nobody else seems to remember it.

Done with the humpata osasto.
Except that that is a lie. I still feel like writing in Finnish. But I'll fight it.
Mum bought me this low-calorie drink for the train ride yesterday. Hmm.. Is that a hint? Or then she has noticed that I really have been losing some weight recently and wants to take some credit for it. Or then, as Jaakko pointed out today, there was so reason for it whatsoever, but I don't quite buy that.
Low-calorie wouldn't be bad, though. I've still got four more weeks to drop a few kilos. If I do that, I might actually be able to breathe in my new 70's overalls I bought (or tecnically Milla bought since I was broke) last Saturday for the cottage weekend thingie in March. I still wouldn't be able to sit, but pffft, who cares?
Went to the library today and borrowed this old film starring Armi Kuusela and Tauno Palo. I used to love it when I was a kid. What a disappointment it was! But that doesn't mean it was a complete disaster. It was still most entertaining. Good.
Yesterday would've been a perfect hangover day. It's a shame I wasn't hungover at all. I was just tired. But then again, had I been hungover, it probably wouldn't have been all that perfect either.. So let's rephrase: yesterday was a perfect lazy Sunday. I spent the whole day (well, from noon to 5pm) driving around and sitting in Masuuni with various people. And I ate a lot. I already was starving when I got home from bar around 4am so when I finally ate something after 2pm the next day, there was no end to it. I hate those days. Luckily they don't appear too often.
More extremely interesting stories about my life:
I just plucked my eyebrows. Again! Where do they all come from? If this doesn't slow down, I'll look like a dwarf in a few years time.

As Rika pointed out, the Elijah link didn't work. Erse. But here you go.
And then to the actual post, and here comes the twist: it's not in English. I'll try not to make a habit of this.
Opin tänään, ettei sanan "Suomi" etymologiaa ole vieläkään osattu määritellä. Olisin halunnut kysyä, joko "aurinko" on selvitetty, mutta en kehdannut.
Olen ihan pihalla enkä osaa tehdä mitään. Nämä torstait on kyllä oikeasti ihan hanurista.. ensin pitää herätä ihan hölmön aikaisin seppoon, hengailla kuusi tuntia ja mennä neljäksi poetryyn. No, yksi viikko tällaista enää. Sitten on vain neljästä viiteen poetrya torstaisin. Joka mahdollisesti on vielä enemmän hanurista.
Päätin tänään muuten yrittää suorittaa sepon kotitenttinä, ettei tarvitsisi kolmessa viikossa lukea Karlssonia läpi. Taannoinen jopitentti otti jo lukemismäärän takia koville ja tuo juuri mennyt taiteentutkimus varsinkin. Muutenkin tuo seppotentti osuu huonoon väliin, kun siinä ihan samaan aikaan on pronun koe (jota pelkään ihan tuhottomasti) ja oraliinkin pitää vääntää puolentoista tunnin esitelmä silloin. Olen myös keksinyt, että se on hyvä aika suorittaa kaksi (2) ATK-passiin kuuluvaa puolen ovarin juttua ja sitten on vielä muu elämä siinä sivussa. Tämä kaikki siis kahdessa viikossa. Age of Innocence ja Tender is the Nightkin ovat vielä lukematta. Mutta en ota stressiä, voisi olla huonomminkin. Voisin esimerkiksi ilmoittautua nykytaiteen tenttiin, joka olisi 12.3. Kas, siinäpä ideaa..
Ehkä silti keskityn noihin romaaneihin, Irlannin mytologiaan (se oralin eristelmä) ja Britannian historiaan. Jääköön nykytaiteet ensi vuodelle..
Nälkäkin olisi, mutten viitsisi millään laittaa ruokaa vielä, kun poetryn jälkeen olemme menossa Jaakkikselle kylään. Jos syön nyt, kuolen siellä mahani tyhjyyteen, eikä se olisi kovin kivaa. Tuskin Jaakko haluaa raatoja uuteen kämppäänsä. Tuskastelin, kun en tiennyt, olisiko korrektimpaa viedä joku tuparilahja vai jättää viemättä ja sitten päätin ostaa tikkarin. Tikkari on aina hyvä lahja. Mutta sitten Jaakko musersi kaiken sanomalla, että Juuli saattaa mahdollisesti olla paikalla. Pitäisikö ostaa Juulillekin tikkari vaiko vain Jaakolle? Se on Jaakon kämppä, mutta esimerkiksi Juulin telkkari asuu siellä nykyään ja Juulikin kai aika paljon. Päätin siis olla viemättä mitään. Jos hurmaava seurani ei riitä tuparilahjaksi, aivan sama.
Kieltämättä hieman jännittää Juulin mahdollinen tapaaminen. Kavereiden poika/tyttöystävien tapaaminen ensimmäistä kertaa on aina yhtä omituista. Mutta onhan Suvi toki mukana. Ja selvisimme viime viikolla Minnan Joelistakin (vaikka teknisestihän se oli täysin eri asia, koska Minna ja Joel ovat naimisissa..).
Kävin ostamssa junalipun ja karkkia huomiseksi ja siinä samalla myöhästyin bussista. Piti siis tappaa aikaa puoli tuntia, joten kävin hengailemassa Kodin Anttilassa ja Sokoksella. Nyt haluan uuden sängyn ja juttuja. Virallinen syy hengailuun oli etsiä Emmulle jotain synttärilahjan tapaista, mutta oikeasti katselin lähinnä vedenkeittimiä. Tiedän, että se on periaatteessa täysin tarpeeton kapistus, mutta on se niin pahuksen kätevä. En millään jaksaisi yhden kaakaomukin takia keittää vettä kattilassa (tuhlaa energiaa sitä paitsi) ja onhan se muutenkin ihan näppärä. Miia vaan jostain syystä nykyään panttaa meidän vedenkeitintä huoneessaan enkä voi ymmärtää, mistä uusi käyttäytyminen johtuu.. olen siis päätellyt, että Miialla on joku ikävä vendetta minua vastaan ja toteuttaa sitä pimittämällä taloustavaroita (ts. vedenkeitintä, koska kaikki muut asunnon kivat härvelit omistaa Hanna tai minä). Tai sitten Miia ei vaan halua, että käytän hänen vedenkeitintään (viimeksi unohtaessani juustohöyläni pöydälle, Miia pesi sen ja otti itselleen, koska luuli omakseen - mikä on todella mielenkiintoista, koska ne eivät ole yhtään saman näköisiä). Sanoisi silti suoraan, tuo alkaa olla aika ärsyttävää.
Miten tänään tuntuu, että olisi ihan hirveästi asiaa kaikista jutuista, kun yleensä ei saa tekstiä aikaan ollenkaan? Johtuuko sitten kielestä vai mistä, mene ja tiedä. Suomeksi on paljon helpompi jaaritella turhuuksia, vaikka Anita viime vuonna väittikin, että osoitan merkkejä kaksikielisyydestä, kun mukamas vaihdan kieliä niin sujuvasti. Ha! Olisi kuullut pronussakin eilen. Pocket-sized screw driver. Toivon, että kokeessa vastaavia ei tule tai en voi kestää.
Surffaan Ikean nettisivua. Miksi täällä ei ole mitään? Ei ole kuvaston voittanutta.
Edit: tuossa äsken ruokakaapin sisältöä tutkiessani (siellä ei ollut mitään) aloin taas vaihteeksi miettimään niitä ylihintaisia sinkun siivuja, joita Suvi aina ostaa. Olen kehitellyt siihen ympärille kokonaisen tuoteperheen ja se sai tänään taas lisäystä. Oikeasti. Jos kerran on sinkuille oma leipänsä (Suvi ei kyllä ole edes sinkku, joten on vääryys, että sen on niitä sinkun siivuja ostettava), niin olisihan se reilumpaa, että kaikille muillekin olisi. Näin tasavertaisuuden vuoksi. Siinä sarjassa olisi siis sinkut siivut, säätäjän sämpylät, rakastuneen rieskat, naimattoman näkkärit, kihlautuneen kannikat, vihityn viipaleet, jätetyn jälkiuunileipä ja lesken limppu. Ainakin näin aluksi. Taidan ottaa yhteyttä leipomoihin.

Oooo! Meet my new pride and joy et cetera!
(don't mind the white borders, can't be bothered to remove them)
That is so very cool. All thank yous go to Tomppa who found and bought it for me. I love it! Suvi thought it was terrible. Pfffft. What does she know?
All in all very nice day today (if we don't count the Miia-annoyance I was suffering from this morning). First the wonderful pin arrives with the morning post and then I find out that I haven't only passed the art studies exam but also got 2 for it.
I was on annoyingly good mood in school today. Oral expression didn't ruin it but it definitely tried.. Sirkku and Lidia gave their presentation on weight issues today. Aaaaaa.. One of my favourite moments:
Lidia: So what is the difference between overweight and obese?
Virpi: Well, we thought that overweight, but not yet obese, is when you weigh 2 or 3 kilos above the standard weight.
Hanna in mind: Thank you very much.
Before I opened my mouth and blurted out something extremely nasty, Anni came to the rescue and said that a person who has overweight, but is not yet obese, can be weigh a bit more than 3kg above the standard weight..
As I was buying those tomatoes today, I flipped through a magazine in Siwa and well, what do you, Pässi was there. "Legendary pub". Indeed so. But at least I could show Suvi that I didn't just make the place up to "amuse" her with stupid stories.
We're going to see Jaakko's new flat tomorrow. Most exciting. I was mentioned briefly in his online journal and felt like a celebrity for a tiny moment.
ps. treat for all those who think Elijah Wood is good-looking. :)

I just got a terrible urge to listen to Jimmy Nail. And so I did. It's good to own a record collection that has a bit of everything in it.
My sandwiches look very suspicous.. I was pretty desperate at first because I was hungry and had nothing but bread. Now, bread with only butter is boring. Did I any cheese? No. Turkey? No. Tomatoes? No. Then I remembered the olive spread Milla brought me from Greece and found the almost empty can of pickle (which now is empty). Hooray, sandwich toppings found. But as said, suspicious.
But they seem to taste alright. If not good, at least they're edible. Need to buy some tomatoes tomorrow, this can't go on. I'd buy cheese but that'd screw up my week budget. Stupid budget. Stupid student grant for being so small it's necessary for me to have a budget.
Totally random:
I'd really like to play the part of Lady Macbeth.

I don't know exactly what I did and why it worked but the annoying gap is now gone and the Breckin site has a new layout. Whee. Still the thing puzzles me. Annoyance.
I've suffered from severe Finland frustration today. I like the country, it's not that, and I know I wouldn't be any happier somewhere else, so it's not that either. I'm just... bored. I want to travel, to see new things. Me and Emmu decided to win the lottery and go to Ireland.
I wonder if we ought to start buying lottery tickets to do that. Nah.
But honestly.. I've had an e-mail fest yesterday and today and already I've e-mailed Anna in Barcelona, Pasi in Oxford, Aino in Vienna and Pami in Sligo. I don't envy them for being in all those places (except a little) but for being ambitious enough to get what they want. None of them are there only for fun.
All this thinking makes Joensuu seem less and less glamorous, if it ever was that even a little. Blast. I'm getting restless..
Me being patient enough will get its reward today. The Ice Storm is finally on telly tonight. Let us all praise Ang Lee.

Breckin update. Thought I'd figured out a way to get rid of the annoying gap. Thanks to div tags (which I didn't want to use, really), no more bottom frame needed. And lo and behold! The gap moved itself to the top frame!
Aaargh!
Ended up looking at the code of the late David site hoping to find the answer there. Not such luck yet but cheese, the last layout was really pretty. Almost makes me to miss the site again. But only almost.
Milla's in England now. Funny thing is that she's staying with this family that knows Ed. I asked her to tell them to say hi for me.. haven't heard from Ed for years. But Milla just told me that he lives in Brighton and works in a pub.
I wonder if he was there last spring already. I could've gone to visit him while I was in Brighton. Will was the only one I contacted and he couldn't meet up as he was staying in Scotland. I miss the two.
Milla's not the only one travelling. Anna (who lives in Barcelona now) is speaking of going to Brazil, Jaakko and his girlfriend are going to tour UK during the summer and I swear I heard someone mention about going on interrail in eastern Europe. Now the travel bug's bitten me too.. I found myself surfing RyanAir's website today and looking at the hostel prices of Dublin (they're quite cheap).
I just don't know how I ever could afford going anywhere but that won't stop me from planning.
Going around Ireland for two weeks would be cool. Me and Emmu were talking about going there a while ago but I don't know if we were serious. I e-mailed her the prices, just in case :)

Finally managed to install PhotoShop 6.0 Emily sent me ages ago. It wouldn't work before, just freeze my whole computer but today it all just came together, as if by magic. Good.
The PhotoShop joy caused me to play with images and I ended up doing a new layout for the Breckin fanlisting (it was about time, the green one is the ugliest ever). However, there is something wrong with the code.. it's very simple frame / iframe code and I've gone through it bazillion times but can't find the little bugger that causes the bottom frame have a blank space of about 5 pixels. It's driving me nuts.
What is that and how do I get rid of it???!
Had a pig-out fest last night and have been feeling nasty all day. Probably mental, though, because I only had a (very) small mozzarella pizza and some candy. One note though: I should've saved the pigging-out until Coming to America was on telly. With Heaven (which I rented and adored), not a good combination.
With the art studies exam over, I've done nothing but watched telly. I'll allow myself one more lazy day (tomorrow), then I'll have to get my act together again. I swear British Cultural Identities, An Illustrated History of Britain, The Age of Innocence and Karlsson's linguistics book will start plotting something evil against me if I don't do something about. That is read them.

As mentioned, I listened to Ronan Keating in my little temporary mental aberration last night. Amusing moments.. "What is he singing? If I don't kill you know???" For a while I was really confused. But it turned out to be the word "tell" instead of "kill". How boring.
Me and Suvi ended up visiting Minna and Joel today after all. It was a really nice change to be somewhere that isn't a) my room b) school c) the public library. Plus they had a really nice home. And they're really nice people (Joel too, hadn't met him before).
I thought of making visiting people my new hobby.
But it was a bit embarrassing because they had warm sandwiches and brownies and tea and juice and.. When I have people over, I only have cookies - if anything! Also, the first minutes were a bit awkward. And because I was extremely tired, I couldn't keep my mouth shut and entertained the three with various stupid stories. Luckily I have a story for every occasion. Minna only had to mention a sandwich grill and off we went.
Tuomas Enbuske just said on telly that, as of late, Joensuu has become a really trendy place. Hm? Ok.
We were discussing terza rima in poetry lecture today. It's the poetry stanza including linked tercets and rhymes "aba, bcb, cdc etc.". Couldn't fight it.
Me: But how is "etc" a rhyme scheme?
Jaakko: I was just thinking the same..
Good reminder I'm not the only one whose brain produces stupid jokes non-stop.
Oo, Jaakko also gave me a new nickname today. From now on, I shall be called Rullbatus.

Happiness is The Turles' 20 greatest hits that arrived yesterday. (thank you Emily!)
(Why, then, am I listening to Ronan Keating??? Temporary mental aberration..)
Tried to blog yesterday but was really tired. I mean really. Passed out right after 10pm. And still had troubles waking up this morning.. somehow managed to do it and was at school after 9 reading the effin' Shusterman book. Finished it. Still have to finish reading one modern art book and one on aesthetics tomorrow and then I'm all done. I can go to the exam on Friday and fail miserably. Hooray!
But if my energy level is the same tomorrow as it has been for the past two days, me visiting Minna and Joel this week won't happen. Shame. I was really looking forward to it. Oh well, there's always next week.
I've surfed the net today trying to find a new place. I really want to move.. having a life here would be a lot easier if I didn't have to live in the arse of Joensuu and live by the bus schedules. The problem is that the places I'd like to move to are a) not available b) terribly expensive. Other than student-housing is out of the wuestion because I want to keep my cheap net connection. I'd like my current living arrangement just fine if it wasn't so far.. my room's really nice (and cheap) and I'm even starting to get along with Miia. I'll be alright here for this spring but I'm afraid I'll snap halfway through next term.
Oral expression was pain today. The presentation the girls was gave was a nightmare (but lessened the pressure.. me and Suvi will top that easily) and the discussion part then.. It seems like my pronunciation keeps getting worse and worse with time. Why??! Once again I miss my Manchester accent I magically developed in Huittinen.
Got my favourite Billy Boyd e-mail ever today.
From: Sophie R
To: hanna@lw.org
Message:
do you know billys home address i need to ask him something extreamly importanat
Yes!
1) Of course I do, it is common knowledge.
2) And because I know it, I give it out to everyone who needs ask him anything, especially if it's extreamly importanat.
I'm being mean, I know. But when you get several of these in a week for over two years, it gets really hard to resist. But I'm only bitching in my blog, I've been able to reply politely. This far! One of these days it'll get just too much and I'll start sending sarcastically evil e-mails back to all the 12-year-olds.
Ouuuuuch..
I think one of my bottom front teeth just cracked a little. Or something. It feels nasty. Three more weeks until dentist. Pity.
Monday, February 09, 2004
Emppu cut and dyed my hair today and so far I'm loving it. Good. And as she's a trainee, it only cost me 12 euros which is a nice change for Johanna's 65 (which is also very cheap considering the quality work she's doing in a nice environment).
Back in Joensuu. Strangely enough this is starting to feel more and more like home.
Sat next to this man on the train for 4½ hours. He kept offering me candy and after the fifth time or so, it started to get rather annoying.. Once I accepted just to be nice but he got worse after that.
Am not feeling too intellectual. Couldn't concentrate on pragmatism and read Cosmopolitan instead.

My God.
She really is now Miss Finland 2004.
Watched the finale with Milla. I've never really cares for the Miss thingie but the feeling was amazing.. I laughed and cried and screamed and phoned Emmu and text-messaged everyone and..
I just cannot believe it. It's all just.. undescribeable.
In a way, this is very euforic and it's very weird.
To quote Milla: baccaaaaaaaa!
She also says that she can't believe or understand that she knows the person who is the current Miss Finland. Very much agreed.
But yeah. Wow.

Sometimes things go just as you want them to. And that is a good reason to go and jump around in snow. And buy new CDs even though you seriously can't afford it.
Tuesday, February 03, 2004
To quote REM: it's been a bad day.
Bright points, though.
1) Boy band day on MTV's Re:action.
Lovely! Haven't seen I Want It That Way in a good long while.. ummm.. only now realised how crappy the song is. And how much fun to sing along! And why did I ever like Kevin??? It's AJ all the way now. Except that what is he doing in that video? Bouncing up and down, probably thinking he looks cool. I still quite like this frame though, for some reason or another.. I used to have it in my school folder when I was 17.
More nice boyband moments. 'N Sync's Bye Bye Bye video. I know it's probably embarrassing to admit, but the video is brilliant. It's really, really good. And I found myself singing along to this too.. I still know the backing vocals by heart. But I always thought No Strings Attached period 'N Sync is the best 'N Sync there is. The same goes for Millenium and BSB. Even if IWITW is crappy.
(did I ever mention Mr Crapper who invented some special kind of toilet? <-- that is what we'd call further information)
2) me robbing the music library of all its CDs.
Well, six. And I did take them out fully legally. But anyway. It's nice to have new music for free (even though tomorrow is the money day and I have certain things planned if things go I seriously wish they would). Sad points: didn't look close enough and ended up having the English version of Kent's Hagnesta Hill. And when I just randomly grabbed any 22 Pistepirkko CD, it was a remix album. But I'm hoping the other ones will prove to be good picks. If not, I'm not losing anything. So I guess it's all the same.
3) Suvi and me deciding the have a movie night.
Aaaaa! Went to Film Town, stood there for a while and then she just suddenly gasped "Mandy Moore and Shane West!". Yes, it would be A Walk To Remember.. Took that. The best choice ever. What a great bunch of cliches. I honestly mean that.. From the (unbelievably slow) beginning to the (unbelievably fast) end, all cliches. Even to the point where I could guess the lines before they were said. And not just once or twice. Suvi was almost convinced that I'd seen the film before (unfortunately for her, I can't imagine a person who'd watch the film several times if it was up to them). But come on..
"I told you not to fall in love with me."
Give me a break!!
4) E-mail from Mikko.
Always brightens up my day..
It feels good to see he's doing well and things are finally looking up for him, career-wise. He's got lots of talent, it's great it's been spotted. But sweet cheese how I miss his company. Briefly even thought of trying Lahti polytechnic again just because I heard he's trying to get in too to study musical theatre but that thought disappeared quite soon. Luckily. No worries, we've still both got phones.
5) Bob the Builder this morning.
Those bunnies were incredibly cute.
I can't remember if I've ever been this nervous in my life. Don't know how to handle it.
Sunday, February 01, 2004
Question of the day:
If you hate the hatelistings, why would you want to make a hatelisting for the hatelistings?
I just visited thehatelistings.org and there it was. Somebody had actually applied for that and got approved.
Beats me.
