I've been sick with the flu since last Thursday now. I've had a small fever on and off for the past three days. I watched Moulin Rouge from TV the other night and I tried singing along to some of the songs, but I had to stop because I sounded so funny. My nose was so clogged up that I sounded like Nylon beat x10. Today my nose hasn't been running ( Read more... )

Facebook is full of election stuff at the moment (Finnish presidential elections second round coming up in a week). If my FB friendslist could elect the president, it looks like Pekka Haavisto would be elected unanimously (yksimielisesti). Seriously, the way that people, even those who aren't so interested in politics usually, are so enthusiastic ( Read more... )

I wrote this last week, but I was in such a foul mood last week that I never got around to posting it ( Read more... )

It's amazing how much you can forget in ten years when you don't actively use the things that you learned. Take something like "molecule" for example. The teacher in my astronomy class talked about them a little bit a while ago and I had forgotten what exactly they were. Sure I remember that they had something to do with atoms, but I had to think ( Read more... )

I've decided to read some new books, to entertain myself and also to get new ideas and to facilitate thinking. I read a lot, but for a long time it's mainly been fanfiction (and school books). I haven't abandoned fanfics, but it feels like this would be a good time to return to reading more of the printed word ( Read more... )

I watched Earth Girl Arjuna yesterday, all 13 episodes of it. I just couldn't stop once I started. I've wanted to see Arjuna for a long while now because I thought that I'd like it. I was surprised by how hard it hit me. There are some animes/mangas that hold special meaning to me, that I like in a way that I can't convey properly to other people, ( Read more... )

Finally a song that inspires me to write.

I've been listening to Kitaro's music today. I've recently watched some random episodes of this old Japanese documentary about the Silk road and they have Kitaro's music in them. It was just so nostalgic and I mainly watched them for the music. I'm positive that we have some of Kitaro's music on some old ( Read more... )

So I'm reading a fic where the "voice of the story" is keeping a journal, so I figured that I should come and update my own journal. :p You should've seen the get-up that I had for my Interwebs time yesterday. I was bundled up in layers of clothing because I get cold in the Winters. I had on a woolen sweater and a big woolen shawl around my neck, ( Read more... )

I've been too busy enjoying my Christmas vacation to update. I'll try to write about my week with few words. On Monday I shopped for Christmas presents and baked gingerbread cookies. On Tuesday I baked some pastries (minced meat and veggie) and also made the casseroles (rutabaga, carrot and potato). With that and putting some finishing touches on ( Read more... )

When I was a kid I used to spent the Saturday and Sunday morning's in my parents bed in my jammies with my little sister and brother and mom and dad. We could barely all fit into the double bed and sometimes someone was showed off by accident or as a joke. :p Dad would read the newspaper as would mom sometimes and we'd try to steal the comics ( Read more... )
