Last night I sang when I was by myself in the sauna. I've picked the habit of singing in the sauna from our choir camps where we do that. All though, come to think of it we used to sing quite a lot in the sauna at the cottage when we were kids, but I fell out of the habit after I grew up. I like the acoustics of the sauna better than the shower ( Read more... )

I haven't update in what seems like ages. I was really busy last week. I had my first exam of the semester last Friday, which I only realized on Monday, so I was busy preparing for the exam. It remains to be seen how it went. Evolutionary biology is a bit outside of my comfort zones. Parts of the course were quite interesting, I just have a problem ( Read more... )

Last night I tossed and turned in bed because I was thinking about all the things on my to-do list at the moment. It may have also been some weird anxiety before the first lectures of the Fall. Yet now that I'm back home and I have time to do whatever, I can't decide what to do. Does this happen to you people? All I can think of is that I could ( Read more... )

Fingers crossed that I'll get a harbor place for our sailing boat for this Summer. I applied for a place back in October from the city of Espoo. They're supposed to be handing out the spots at the start of this month so I checked the situation and I'm on number 216 on the line. The city of Espoo has places for about 4000 boats and about 250 of ( Read more... )

I've been playing around with Firefox Personas in the past couple of days. They're built in Firefox 3,6. Otherwise you need an extension. I had to turn off the theme that I've been using to get the personas working on my Firefox, but I can live with that. There's so many personas to choose from.I finished reading Martin's A Song of Ice And Fire a ( Read more... )

Last weekend I got the idea that I'd like to do a treasure map (also known as vision board) about the goals and dreams that I have about the future. I haven't made one before. Basically you decide on a dream and then you go through magazines (and now days the Internet) and look for pictures that resonate with you and give you good feelings. You cut ( Read more... )

I'm going skiing up North in a week or two with my family. It's actually not in Lapland (like I thought), but very close anyway (at least when you look at it from down here South :p). I'm not in very good shape so I'm trying to excercise more so that I can do some skiing there without being in too much pain afterwards. xp I skiied (cross-country) ( Read more... )

Just a couple of songs today as I really need to get my homework done and get some sleep.

ATB - You're not alone @ Youtube
I think that I've posted this before, but I just love this song so much that it's worth posting a second time.

Sade - Hang on to your love @ Youtube ( Read more... )

Life has been so hectic lately. There hasn't been much time for introspection, to just stop and be still for a while. So today I decided to spend a quiet night at home. I took a nap, watched telly and burnt a fire in the fireplace ( Read more... )

It's only been a week and already I feel like I've blogged about Japanese more than I did in the previous year. -_- I haven't found a good schedule/way to learn Japanese yet, especially with kanjis (Japanese characters). It feels like each time that I start a Japanese course I search for a better and faster way to study. I've studied kanjis with 3- ( Read more... )
