I watched an interesting documentary on television tonight. In Finnish it was Ulkolinja: Taistelu avaruudesta and in English Pax Americana and the Weaponization of Space. Finnish readers can watch it from YLE Areena in the next 26 days. The documentray was about the possibility of war in space and how the US has aimed to dominate space for decades ( Read more... )

I've been watching Ghost Whisperer (Aavekuiskaaja) on telly. It reminds me of Medium, but it's much tamer and instead of visions, the main character in Ghost Whisperer can actually see and talk with the ghosts. I think that it's the second season that I've been following. Anyway, I brought this up because the opening of the show is one of the ( 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... )

I'm posting some songs that I've come to love through AMVs. The videos themselves are not anything special, but I've listened to them often. These also happen to be songs that inspire me to write. Many entries start from a song.

( Emoting and mirror neurons )

Why do all the great entries come to my head just when I'm trying to fall asleep and not when I'm actually on the computer? Or maybe they just seem so brilliant because you're half asleep when you come up with them? But by that logic this entry should be brilliant because I'm pretty tired after the swimming that I did today. I swam for 1000 meters ( Read more... )

I felt all inspired to write while listening to Pete Parkkonen's The Final Day, but now I don't know what to say. I guess that I'll just write whatever and see where that goes ( Read more... )

What is wrong with people? I was hoping that it'd be a bit more quiet at the Sello shopping mall after four people were shot there last week, but no such luck when I went shopping there yesterday. I hate shopping, but I needed to change this CD ( Read more... )

You do realice that when I'm sharing music with you, I'm giving you something that I value greatly. Music is important to me. It keeps me sane. It keeps me alive. When I'm sharing a great song or some great artist with you, I'm giving you some of the best things in my life. At least that's how I see it. :p ( Read more... )

I watched the third season of Battlestar Galactica this weekend (and the webisodes that came before it). The third season didn't pack quite the bunch as the first two seasons did. There wasn't the same kind of desperate feeling to it, that is to not say that it wasn't good. But the season finaly was once again amazing. That alone is reason enough ( Read more... )

It's my vacation week and what do I do? I get the flu. -_- It's probably just been waiting for me to slow down so it could hit me. My nose is running, my throat hurt in the morning and I'm running a slight fever. So I spent the whole day watching Northern Exposure. And I had a huge craving for anything salty after eating too much cake over the ( Read more... )
