My friends are the bestest.

 And one of them happens to work at a local theater. Which is how yesterday, I went and saw opera in person for the first time in my life. And I only had to pay one euro for the tickets, since it was a pre- opening night showing. The opera in question was Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio, which had been adapted and set to modern day Finland

For me, the biggest problem with opera is that there's too much repetition. And really high pitches hurt my ears, making listening to most of sopranos somewhat painful. :D

I haven't paid all that much attention to Mikko's vocabulary; mostly because when ever I see him do interviews in English, I get stumped about how the hell can he sound so much like someone with a Turku dialect, EVEN WHEN HE'S NOT SPEAKING FINNISH!

About Mikke scoaring: my thoughts exactly. It does seem like some members of the media would like nothing more than to see him bust. I guess it'd make for better headlines.. Unless something major happens, I'm planning on being up for the game. It's not like it's the first time ever I've stayed up for more than 30 hours in a row. And what with Kärpät playing in the afternoon, I'm looking forward to 12+ hours of almost uninterrupted hockey. :D

That Power Point would be super. Will of course credit you, if you allow me to use it. :)

I used to beta fic; if you've got nobody else, feel free to send it to me, I tend to respond pretty quick. periariyx@gmail.com

also you should add the lesser Granlund and Joni Ortio to your bbFinn things just because

[kyyrandi]

I might be taking you up on that offer sooner rather than later, depending on how I get my writing juices flowing.

I was going to add Granlund in there anyway, but good thing you mentioned about Ortio. I hadn't even realized just how young he still is.

Cosigning all of your hopes for the Wild. I was at the X tonight and their one division banner looked so lonely up there.

The idea of Brodz being trapped between the two of them sounds great. Do they talk in Finnish over him so he has no idea what's going on?

My spelling is atrocious and my grammar can be questionable, but I would be up for looking things over if you want.

Do they talk in Finnish over him so he has no idea what's going on?
Oh absolutely. :D Which of course frustrates him even more, and then he tries recruiting Bäcks as his personal interrupter, but it really doesn't work out, because Bäcks just keeps trolling him/translating everything wrong.

.. I may have accidently written the first 200 words of this, so I might be in need of a beta a lot sooner than I originally thought.

fantastic. I am looking forward to it.
