Sloooww...

Argh. I have most certainly not been my usual witty (ha!) self today. Writing simple messages have taken me more than fifteen minutes and I have been wrestling with this entry for about an hour, although to my defense I have to say that I've saved it as a draft a couple times before continuing to suffer the angst of creation. Some sort of late attempt at hibernation, perhaps?

Anyway, I had an actual point to this entry: yesterday I did it. You may call me whatever you like, but I went and bought the poles and started the much ridiculed sport of Nordic Walking. In your face, you nasty painful lumps in my shoulders! I took a test ride yesterday, and I swear that during the 45 minutes I spent trying to stay upright on the glaciers which are currently serving as pavements I worked up more sweat than I'd have done had I gone for a 90-minute normal walk. Maybe that goes in some way towards explaining today's sluggishness.

Had a meeting with A today about the bachelor's thesis and it seems we've officially started doing the bleeding thing. I went as far as to mark the June 16th in my calendar as my graduation date (I'd appreciate some collective wood-knocking here, thank you). Do you think celebrating both graduation and my birthday would only jinx the whole event? Or should I have two separate parties just to be sure? And yes, we've still to write the first sentence of the thesis and I have 2 more exams to go - here I still am pondering the important questions...

A also informed me that on March 9th the Helsinki Filharmonics will perform both the Symphony N:o 3 by Aulis Sallinen and Mein Herz brennt by Torsten Rasch, which is, basically, Rammstein songs and lyrics converted into modern classical music. Me and A are quite probably going there, anyone else interested are of course warmly welcomed to join us. Bizarre will be the word of the day then, I presume. It'll be my first classical concert (I guess the few Finnish schlager stars I've seen won't count).

I may also have promised to join a Bollywood dance course. I'm not sure. We'll see, we'll see.

One should never leave home if the brain is not working properly.

Anyway. Should I go rent a movie? If so, which one? Popcorn or candy, or perhaps both? I'll keep you posted as events occur.

Oh, and in case you were wondering about the Noodles of Doom incident, all's well which ends well. The rug was in need of a good scrubbing anyway.



Soundtrack for today:
Janus: Ein Hund, der sich hinlegt, wo er will
Murderdolls: Graverobbing USA
