Today's top news go into the category of happy family news.

My sister's got engaged. My actual kid sister, the only one I've got. A big congratulation and an equally big awww to the happy couple, though I have to scold them a little for holding back the big news for a couple of days. You see, sis and her fiance J (awww) reached the agreement on Tuesday, and only on Friday J brought a bottle of Koskenkorva booze to our parents as a compensation for the loss of their daughter. I expect my father will chuckle about it for years.

"Never is a man happier than when drunk or engaged" was his comment so I suppose he approves of the arrangement. As does mother, of course. It'll be an interesting event if there'll be an actual wedding as a result, people in my family are not that keen on marriages. Like another immortal wisdom from my father goes when asked why my parents have never made their union official: What would it change?

What would it change if they suddenly decided to get married? They seem to love each other and that's it. After decades of living together they probably know what they are talking about.

I'm going to be all soppy and happy for a few weeks. Please accept my apologies, the doctor convinced me that this is not permanent and with the proper use of the ointment he gave me will wear off eventually.

Today's random quote and the winner of the Funniest Typo Of The Year Award is the poor sod who registered on the Herzeleid.com forums just to say how crappy the forums are, how badly they are run, that all the posters are just selfish bastards who "have nothing else in your olives."

I'd be on a crappy mood too if my olive was empty.



Soundtrack of my evening:
Sigur Rós: The album Takk
(Sigur Rós will be in Helsinki on 29th October. I noticed that about ten minutes ago, the tickets will come for sale on Wednesday morning at 9 at the Lippupalvelu website. Guess who doesn't have money)
Weissglut: The album Zeichen
