Utopia

Syksy

Kaksi vanhaa, vanhaa varista
nuokkuu hiljaa pellon aidalla.
Ruskea on rinta kaisliston
taivas harmaa. Sataa. Syksy on.

--


Höyhenihin niskat kyyristyy.
Sataa. Hiljaista on. Hämärtyy
yli pellon mustan kynnöksen
tuntuu riihen tuoksu etäinen.

Kaksi märkää, vanhaa varista
nuokkuu aatoksissaan aidalla.
"Täytyy tästä..." toinen havahtuu,
lentoon verkkaisesti valmistuu.
"Käyhän taaskin tarinoimassa.
Oli oikein hauska tavata."

Happy Pi Approximation Day

pi pronounced as pie (though a bit more dryly and geekly - yes dear, i know it's geeky but it doesn't rhyme with dryly), and not to be mixed up with the darren aronofsky's identically named psychological thriller from 1998, is a very important number.
how important i have forgotten but good old wikipedia knows. hurraa! :)

Tourist on Monday in Tampere???

some tips for what to do on summer mondays in tampere if you are a tourist
(and when quite a few museums are closed)

1) lenin museum is one of the few museums open on mondays. the museum is literally about him. 

2) go swimming! the lakes are always open. 

3) have a picnic in pyynikki. the ridge is naturally beautiful and the cafe by näkötorni always welcoming with famous finnish "doughnuts" called munkki. (the one licking the sugar from his/her lips first loses!) 

4) ride buses around the city and the suburbs. monday is anyway better for that than sunday. don't forget your 24 h buscard! 

5) take a walk in the arboretum, the botanical garden of hatanpää. on a sunny day preferable time is in the evening from 7 p.m. when it's not too hot anymore. 

6) go shopping. even the smallest specialized shops are open on mondays (besides you'll avoid the saturday crowd). 

7) read a book. you can get a free library card from any of the city's libraries. 

8) count all the shirtless men roaming the streets.

9) count all the corners which smell like urine.

10) relax. you're on a holiday, right?!?

Winter in July :P

Runon ja suven päivä

Ruislinnun laulu korvissani,  tähkäpäiden päällä täysi kuu;  kesä-yön on onni omanani,  kaskisavuun laaksot verhouu. En ma iloitse, en sure, huokaa;  mutta metsän tummuus mulle tuokaa,  puunto pilven, johon päivä hukkuu,  siinto vaaran tuulisen, mi nukkuu,  tuoksut vanamon ja varjot veen;  niistä sydämeni laulun teen.   --  aika seisoo, nukkuu tuuliviiri;  edessäni hämäräinen tie tuntemattomahan tupaan vie. -Eino Leino: Nocturne 1903-

Dead blogger?

mistä tietää, että blogisti on kuollut?
- ei mistään, sillä postit on ajastettu viideksi vuodeksi eteenpäin.

how do you know that the blogger has died?
- you won't: the posts have already been scheduled up till 5 years.

Chaos

only a genius can master chaos. 

Brains

being headless and brainless will protect you from zombies 
- i strongly recommend! 

Omniscient

ask salla - she knows. 

Honoring women's solidarity

this beautiful statue is standing on a square quite near my apartment. must be a destiny that the universal feminine energy just decided to put up a BIG sign to remind me and my co-fellows living here... :) (we all know what you think about that sentence dragoste so don't even bother! :P)

i also had a more serious thought for this post: today we're celebrating the international women's day! Hip hip hurraa! Hip hip hurraa! Hip hip hurraa! :D

Aphorism month

i knew already a while ago that i wanted to do an aphorism month - to post homemade aphorisms every day. i was supposed to start in february since it's nicely the shortest month of the year. well, now it's even shorter... :P
so here you go - my first aphorism has landed!!!

hard work kills my creativity (i'm a lazy person)
