Note to self: it is not wise to eat 180g of Katjes berry candies. You will feel sick.

Also, half of a sock in one evening is now my official record.

I just had a moment of sock-knitting-clarity and wrote an entry about it before going "..." and realizing that my post wouldn't probably make sense or be interesting to anyone but me. But I can tell you that suddenly understanding the sock gusset can get you pretty high (it might also be just coffee and lack of sleep. I prefer the first option).

But I still think it's a pretty good film.

I can't think of a single way to make this post less pointless.

Just one final teeny weeny bit about the Eurovision, because you non-Finns are probably sick of this already ( Read more... )

This is odd.

The weird thing is, Sitting, Waiting, Wishing by this same Mr. ( Read more... )

My mind is kind of Not Here, which is why you get posts like this.
