Enter me

Whoah.

I've just spent half an hour creating this blog. Username, password, layout and the horror of all horrors - what to call this particular blog. Do I really have so big problems making decisions? It's never too late to learn new things about yourself.

Anyways, I thought to give this blog-thing a try. I've never been a big diary-enthusiast but people have pointed out many good aspects about them so what the hell. Let's give it a try and see what happens. Who knows. I may even learn to write some day ;)

But right now I hear people clamoring for Big News about my life. Calm down! Your wait is over. During the past week I have conquered flu, succeeded to score a bunny-themed stamp from my German quiz, bought no less than three albums of Good Music (tm), namely by a German industrial metal-band Oomph! and re-organized my books.

The flu was the root of all evil, let me tell you. Four days of fever, runny nose, and my throat wanted to give birth to a flaming sofa. I'm still going through about a dozen hankies a day, but the worst is thank goodness over. I can not recommend this disease to anyone. If I was a car magazine, the review for this test drive would score nothing but minuses.

On the music front I am doing well, however. It seems that in Finland the record stores are required to diss all German music with the exception of Rammstein (do not think for a minute that I'd complain about Rammstein being sold in copious numbers - Fan, thy name is Sanna!). So I have walked from a record store to record store come sleet or snow (they both did. It was wonderful) trying to find some Oomph! or Megaherz without much success until I found Oomph!-albums from a wonderful, wonderful record store Keltainen Jäänsärkijä. Still, Finland seems to be a Megaherz-free zone.

Oh well. One needs to have something to pursue. I could make my life easier and dig bands like HIM or Rasmus or Britney Spears, but no, I had to choose German industrial metal. Life has its funny ways.

A point to illustrate the last sentence of the previous paragraph is how last Sunday I actually spent a couple of hours trying to determine what kind of car was in Rammstein's Du Hast video (It was the word of the day on herzeleid.com forums). I mean, a car. A thing that's sole purpose is to transport people from point A to point B. That's all. And I spent a couple of hours I'll never get back surfing the net for car images. *Sigh*

It was a Volga.

Despite all my accomplishments I still have some minor things to do. Like deciding what the hell I am going to be when I grow up, where to apply for summer job, about what exactly am I going to write my thesis about, small things like that.

So who knows, maybe this blog might help me to organize my thoughts into something, well, organized thingy.
