You know how Sober January is a thing here in Finland? I thought about that, and then I realized that being sober would - to me, at least - mean also abstaining from coffee and excessive amounts of caffeine (i guess I could accept tea or sth) and cigars - I don't do drugs, but if I did, them too. Then I thought about other vices, and got the idea ( Read more... )

Even though I am probably the worst procrastinator in the world and I am feeling down about studies, something tells me I'm in the right place when my debt to mr. Sandman is huge and I'm up at half past one before the exam and I have many pages to go I still give a shit. I'm actually interested ( Read more... )

I just noticed that I could get the black MacBook - which I have lusted for a long time - with additional 1 GB of RAM (total 2gb) AND the AppleCare package (which is pretty much mandatory, never, ever buy a computer with a warranty of only a year. trust me on this.) for 1300e.

Good stuff and bad stuff in the weekend, so I guess it evens out.

Hot Fuzz was amazingly fun. You should see it.

This year there seems to be an endless amount of movies I'd like to see. I could buy two or three 11-movie passes and then I might be happy, but I think I'll have to settle to 13-15 movies. Not completely certain which - trying to guess which will come out on DVD / mainstream theaters.

Also, new iPods are out! I like them! Except the touch version ( Read more... )

Six hours of endless lectures make my head go boom. 4 down, 2 to go. My today consists of subjects as fascinating as financial policy in the European monetary union and organizational theory of contingencies. Afterwards it's homework time! Squeezing a lunch somewhere might be nice. Lunch, dinner, whatever. The faculty of economics seems to have ( Read more... )
