Course Books and the City

I can only take so much of the different pricing methods available for a success-orientated hotelier before cracking and posting stuff on my li'l blog here. But I have been a good girl, I have tackled over 100 pages of Yield Management - Strategies for the Service Industry, and there's only another 100 pages left and then I'm done. Of course, there's still the other book to read for the exam, but for that I have the entire week time - which means that I'm going to spend Thursday evening reading furiously and trying to figure out which chapters are important and which aren't.

Another wild weekend, this certainly is. Somehow I have the feeling that all those evenings watching The Sex and the City only managed to give all the wrong expectations concerning the life of a single woman in a big city. All right, compared to New York Helsinki is smaller than an average shopping mall. And I know that all New Yorkers aren't free lance journalists who can afford new Manolos every episode. Then again, I've never been there, so how should I know if they aren't ;) But since that kind of life is possible, where are my Manolos?

I also know that I'm making no sense right now but bear with me.

Remember the cat I mentioned in the previous post? Good. Now think of cats in general. Does the mental image include a huge, attention-hungry feline lying on her back in the middle of the bed all the time purring like a chain saw? No? Well, now it does. Gotta love her, she's got more personality than some of the people I've met. I'm so going to spoil her during the nine days I have the privilege of being her cat-sitter.

So anyways, my laundry is done and I need to head down to the basement to fetch it.




Today's choice of music in honor of the gorgeus sunshine:
Albums Trä, Kaksi and Karelia Visa by Hedningarna
Albums Guds Spelemän and Vedergällningen by Garmarna
Album Herzblut by Subway to Sally

It's the spring. I always listen to medievalish rock in the springtime. I don't know why either.
