Viivi's sleeping on my lap, which makes typing rather complicated. Krista's been feeling really sick today, and she finally gave in about half an hour ago and went to see the doctor. Viivi panicked because Krista left (she tends to do that) and thus I'm spending some quality time with my little white furry friend.
She purrs. Aww. She hardly ever purrs to me.
The long-awaited Harry Potter comments, though very briefly:
1) Although all my favourite plot twists were left out, I thought it was a fairly good movie. If a tad bit short. I would've continued it with 20-30 minutes at least.
2) I particularly liked how Mike Newell kept the darker tone that was introduced in film III.
3) Otherwise I thought Mike Newell didn't really grasp the thing. All the characters were extremely flat.
4) And all the smaller characters were almost never on screen. And when they were, they had absolutely no lines whatsoever.
5) The Sirius thing still pisses me off greatly.
6) As does the Marauders' Map. Didn't they say it'd be explained in this film?
7) Brendan Gleeson was cool, but the eye looked absolutely ridiculous. Also, his face wasn't bad enough. Only a few scars = blah.
8) Not enough Cedric. Now to understand all things Dumbledore said about him, you must read the book.
9) The graveyeard scene was way too short.
10) Lucius. Whee!
11) Ralph F. Whee!
12) Snape and Draco were pushed back too much.
13) What was going on with Myrtle? Actually the bathroom scene was pretty much a disaster.
14) Children's movie my ass. The makes probably never claimed it to be one, but I've heard other say that. Wake up.
Yeah, yeah.
Ron was cool. Hermione's getting way too pretty (had a little argument about this with Ken on Thursday). And I still think Krum was yummy.
The Early 19th Century American Literature exam is over! HURRAH! And I think I did fairly well! Of course we'll have to wait until Roy's graded the exams to know for certain. But I still think I did well. So yeah, yeah again.
An achy shadow in my temporary happy: one of my teeth cracked pretty badly on Saturday evening and I have to go to the dentist's tomorrow. Arse, arse.
Henna just sent me some photos from Thursday's Christmas Party. Thank you! For once someone's managed to take pictures where I don't look completely idiotic - and when I do, I'm not the only one. Share time.
Jaakko's too cool to pose.
Burning cheeks.
That's almost as cool as his woolly hat.
Err. Trying to figure out where to continue? NB: New Red Boots!
Encouraged by Rika's actions, I think I'll delete all my remaining fanlistings.

Just came from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Uh.
Topmost feelings? I think they were kind of cruising through the entire thing and left out all my favourite parts. Bollocks.
I'll post more detailed thoughts about the film later. Few things, though.
What the hell were they thinking with the whole Sirius deal?!! Grr!
Also, I think Krum was rather yummy.

Tyhjä olo.
Jotkut asiat pysäyttää täysin. Tuntuu paljon, mutta sanat ei riitä edes alkuun.
Tällä hetkellä maailma tuntuu täysin vääristyneeltä ja ehkä epäreilummalta kuin koskaan. En voi ymmärtää. En tiedä, haluanko edes. Sitä vaan istuu. Ja itkee. Ja tuijottaa eteensä. Haluaisin sanoa jotain kaunista, mutta en osaa. Kaikki tuntuu merkityksettömältä, lattealta, pinnalliselta.
Peruin kaikki menoni tältä illalta. Menen ehkä silti katsomaan Marenkia. Vaikka ulos lähteminen tuntuu kauhealta, en pysty jäämään kotiinkaan. Jonnekin on mentävä.
Epäusko. Voisin kyseenalaistaa kaiken.

Ten random things I want:
Olipa kerran ihminen / Il était un fois l'homme DVD box
Studio Julmahuvi DVD box
Dr Snuggles DVD box
Brainwash T-shirt
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory DVD
Roald Dahl: A Biography
Radio Sunnydale CD
Bo Bice's Real Thing CD
The Yellow Submarine shrit
Future Trophy Wife shirt
If anyone's planning to buy me a Christmas present this year for some reason or other, those might be a good way to go. Especially if you are rich. :)
Grah. I really wanted to buy something today since I figured it'd cheer me up. And as I'm desperately in need of new shoes and a new coat, those were the ones I was mainly looking for. But since I won't be needing the coat until it gets cold, a Quest For New Shoes it was. Found some pairs that were alright, but nothing I really wanted, so I decided to continue tomorrow. It's tricky business, buying shoes. Besides being extremely picky, I also think that they shouldn't cost much over 40e. It's an impossible task, but at least it keeps me busy. As if I wasn't busy enough already. Whee.
Same popped over today for an hour or so. I haven't seen him properly in ages, so an hour wasn't really enough. Ah well. At least it was better than nothing.
Suvilta vein, kun sillekin muistoja jätin. Kommentoikoon ken tahtoo.
Jos luet tätä, jos silmäsi liikkuvat juuri tällä hetkellä näiden sanojen yli, ole kiltti ja postaa kommentti, jossa on muisto sinusta ja minusta, vaikka emme edes puhuisi usein. Se voi olla ihan mitä tahansa haluat - hyvää tai huonoa. Kun olet tehnyt tämän, laita tämä omaan journaliisi ja ylläty (tai kauhistu) siitä, mitä ihmiset muistavatkaan sinusta.

I've been one big depressed flubber worm the whole day again. I haven't got anything done and everything's just been blagh. Sigh. But in my boredom I Googled Mikko for the first time in a good long while and he seems to be everywhere. And it turns out I've missed another play again :( Ah well. Ought to phone or e-mail him or something.
Oo. I've received a few virtual roses today because I've been Aleksi's spare head on Messenger again. That is always nice. But I must say I've been speanding way too much time on Messenger today. It's not entirely bad as Virpi cheered me a little while we during our quick conversation. I still can't concentrate on anything important, though, like Melville's novella or writing my media culture research proposal. Argh!
A Perfect Guy Quiz instead (to celebrate my beloved theme of the week). Hurrah.
Oh, and I shamelessly stole it from here.

Eye color? Green or blue.
Height? Noticeably taller than me, at least 1,80m or something.
Six pack? Not a fan of these.

Is it okay for him to have a lot of female friends? Sure.
Out-going or shy? More out-going, but not too much.
Sarcastic or sincere? I'm very sarcastic, so it wouldn't work with someone extremely sincere.

Section 4
Does he use the word dude? Arh! Depends on the situation :)
How about tight? Er..?
Would he watch the sun rise and set with you? Well, I practically never do that.
What kind of car does he drive? Something not-too-flashy.

Wah! I'm such a teen. Like omg really!1
I was happily going to my art history lecture yesterday when my phone rang.
Noora: We thought we'd get drunk tonight!
Hanna: Wha-huh?
Noora: Wanna get drunk with us tonight?
Hanna: Ok!
And holy cider bottle, Batman! Drunk we really were. I don't know about Jaana and A-C, but at least me and Noora have been suffering from a hangover today, too. Jebus. Plus some extremely teen stuff I don't want to go through here.
La-la.
The evening was all fun until we went to Bepop. Why oh why did we do that? (Mostly because I wanted to..) If anyone ever hears I'm planning to go there again, please prevent me from actually doing it. Please! Unless it's a very special occasion, such as a gig or a brilliant theme evening. And just for a reminder, match maker party (with colour signals) is definitely NOT a brilliant theme evening o_O
The results of the Swedish exam came yesterday. It appears I passed the effin' course and also did it quite well! 3/5 oral, 4/5 written. Can't really complain. Now I never have to study Swedish again unless I want to, which is not an entirely impposible thought, actually. But hurrah!
I was supposed to go to the introduction to musicology lecture today but since I was way too tired (after some two or three hours not-so-decent sleep last night), I skipped it. But man, it was difficult. My conscience has become a bit too effective for my own good. But after several people told me that skipping a lecture is alright every once in a while, I just left. And now that I've started to get a hang of it, I thought about skipping media culture tomorrow. Mind you, I'm planning to go to the library to search material for my art history essay, so it's not all that bad.
Instead of the lecture today I came home and watched James and the Giant Peach Jaakko was kind enough to finally lend me. Ahemm.. I guess I would've enjoyed it more if I hadn't been so tired. And a) if there had been subtitles or b) the sound quality had been better or c) I hadn't been afraid to disturb Krista who was trying to do some reading. Ah well. Now I just thought it was alright, not good, not bad. Maybe it deserves another chance.
The Jack Skellington reference did make me smile, though.
And now I have a terrible urge to read the book again, but I don't think I really have time for it. Sigh.
Monday, November 07, 2005
I know I was supposed to be adding finishing touches to my proseminar research proposal (which I'm quite enthusiastic about at the moment, actually), but somehow finishing this layout I started last night seemed more appealing right now. I know Halloween went already, but Jack Skellington is always topical.
Mentioning Halloween, the party last Thursday was pretty much a disaster for my part. I was so tired and so worried about the effin' Swedish exam that I was all moody the whole evening. Not that anyone seemed to mind, so I guess it's all good after all.
Now I'm waiting for the photos people have promised to send me so that I can put them to Echo's homapage. I promised to send a picture of my dress / costume to Milla, but I pretty much doubt there'll be any pictures of me. I avoided the camera the whole evening pretty effectively the whole evening.
I want red wine. Hmmmh.. I wonder if there's anyone in JNS next weekend who'd be interestedin having a movie night, accompanied by a bottle of wine. Or possibly a wine evening, accompanied by a movie. Or a wine evening, accompanied by even more wine. Or whichever way you want to put it. As long as the wine is included (and preferably the movie as well).
Not entirely a bad idea. Not at all. I guess I just have to ask around. I'm almost sure Noora said she'd be here, but you never know.
I thought about buying Berocca after Jutta suggested it, but Milla gave me some strange powder thingie I'm supposed to mix in a glass of water and drink twice or three times a day. Apparently it's full of vitamins and is supposed to go directly to my cells (whereas only about 20% of Berocca is effective) and cheer me up and whatnot. I feel kind of like a guinea pig, really, but I don't care if it works. I'm a bit sceptical, but we'll see..
