Finally!!!

finally i got the labels done!

i reveal a secret: if i bump into a new blog i rarely read it through. i mostly just concentrate on few topics which i can find from the listed labels and if there are no labels... i usually just close the tab.

however i haven't been living like i preach or whatever. but now i finally got it done. hip hip hurraa! hip hip hurraa!

Ancestors, anyone?

- our ancestors were hairy and climbing on trees.
- not mine, they were the hairless beauties.
- haha! have you ever seen one of those hairless moles? they have wrinkled skin and they are ugly. :P

Photos...

you have a big nose and the perspective is totally distorted.
- yy...

things to do?


when did my weekends become so boring? and shouldn't i be happy because i really don't need to do stuff - isn't that what (we think) makes us happy (especially when we're stressed)?

it's pretty difficult to do nothing... (just imagine i only have 3 things in waiting: to write a short story, to pack and to wash dishes.) it's so boring...

on the other hand i could also book a laundry turn, technically vacuum, knit, watch a movie, watch anime, play some computer game, read a book... but nothing is obligatory, so i do nothing. please, somebody help me! i have serious trouble to amuse myself. :P

Helsinkiklub und Baby Halbstark

zürich 24th sept.

60's rock show by baby halbstark
no chance of ordering lapin kulta in finnish
though i learned  that africola was an east german cola brand
(and that red rock ginger ale is just pure acid burning a hole through your stomach :/)

here's the original version:




äitisuomennos: helsinkiklubilla ei voinut tilata lapin kultaa suomeksi - kokeiltu on.

Reflections

just the other day i realized that i've been living quite many years without a big mirror... (and without a tv but that's another story.)

it is inconvenient i know but what does it matter if i'm not able to check my outfit daily? does it make my life any different? (yes, sometimes i do care, sometimes i'm just too plain lazy to give a damn.)

then i realised, i certainly do check out myself more often from the elevator mirror (once i was desperate and called the lift just to do that ;), from windows, glass doors and from other reflective surfaces. (warning! don't try to use side mirrors of the cars - they are too, well you'll see...)

i truly am missing a mirror but so far - people have survived from more difficult situations than this.

Enneagrammi

löysin hauskan enneagrammitestin. sen mukaan (ja mitä itse ajattelen) minua kuvaavat sekä luova individualisti että uskollinen kyseenalaistaja. noh, toisinaan kuvaavat ja toisinaan eivät. :P -halpaa hupia silti. ;)

"Luova Individualisti on sisäänpäin kääntynyt ja romanttinen persoonallisuustyyppi. Neloset ovat itsensä tiedostavia, sensitiivisiä ja varautuneita. He ovat emotionaalisesti rehellisiä, luovia ja henkilökohtaisia, mutta saattavat myös olla ailahtelevaisia ja itsetietoisia. He saattavat olla pidättyväisiä muita kohtaan tuntiessaan itsensä haavoittuvaisiksi ja puutteellisiksi. Neloset saattavat kokea tavallisen arkisen elämän itselleen vieraaksi ja jopa halveksia sitä. Heillä on tyypillisesti ongelmia surumielisyyden, itsekeskeisyyden ja itsesäälin tunteiden kanssa. Parhaimmillaan Nelonen on inspiroitunut, erittäin luova ja itseään sekä kokemuksiaan uudistava ihminen."

"Uskollinen Kyseenalaistaja on sitoutunut ja turvallisuushakuinen persoonallisuustyyppi. Kuutoset ovat luotettavia, ahkeria ja vastuuntuntoisia. He ovat hyviä ongelmien kartoittajia ja osaavat luoda aitoa yhdessä tekemisen henkeä, mutta saattavat olla myös puolustelevia, vältteleviä ja hermostuneita. Kuutoset saattavat haalia itselleen liikaa töitä ja stressiä ja valittaa siitä samanaikaisesti. He saattavat olla varovaisia ja päättämättömiä, mutta myös reaktiivisia, kapinoivia ja uhmakkaita. Kuutosilla on tyypillisesti ongelmia epävarmuuden ja epäluuloisuuden kanssa. Parhaimmillaan Kuutonen on sisäisesti vakaa ja itsevarma ihminen, joka rohkeasti kannustaa itseään ja muita onnistumaan."

ODP

i'm still young and restless, so it's time for some radical minimalism. good logic, eh? ;) i'm joining a challenge of a blog called 'one dress protest' written by kristy powell. http://onedressprotest.com/2011/05/join-me-and-odp/

well, she has all these high ideals that she wants to achieve, but don't you think i have some sort of virtues in my mind when i'm starting. oh, no! i just want to test my limits (=do something radical but fairly unnoticeable), i happen to have a dress i rarely use, (which probably fits fine in most of the occasions in my future month) and i'm curious. i'm curious of what this experiment will bring into my life.

the only problem will be next week: i'm going out of town to a 5 days long "camp", where a group of people will spend time together very closely and where my washing opportunities might be scarce... since i'm not so serious about this i'll just have to take some spare clothes to replace the dress in case i can't wear it all of the days. anyways - exciting future lies ahead of me (despite maybe the "boring" clothing choices).

Kuopio Dance Festival - here i come!

i was a bit sour that i couldn't participate in a kdf vip viewer competion... the local newspaper was searching for different people to write about the dance shows and no previous experience was required. - the idea is of course to make the town citizens involved and get commoners interested in the art of dance (and also to sell the newspaper). - anyway i suppose the competition was only for the subscribers because i couldn't see any hint of it on the newspaper website. :(

well, since i've been eyeing on the dance festival for years i finally bought tickets to three different shows. (some of the happenings are for free but i don't have time to hang out in the centre for all day. besides i'm doubting it would only lead to getting fed up with dance quite soon.) i think you already guess where i'm heading to... i'll be writing for what i see - here. i don't have vip seats, not even tickets to all of the shows but i have an urge to write about the ones i chose. - and i'd like to see somebody to try to prevent me! :P (ah, how i love to be melodramatic - it shows that i'm already in my artistic mood. :)

so beware kuopio dance festival - there's a pair of alert ears and eyes among the audience and they do not keep silent afterwards! :PPP

Girl in green

currently camera-less. :)
otherwise you'd have seen my plantings!

i got excited about new growth (thought i felt a breeze of spring in the air?) but so far i just have some black soil on plates and green bed linen.

currently i have some two-year-old seeds and some exotic fruit stuff growing: jalapeño, paprika, grape fruit, grapevines, plum, pomegranate and cypress. i'll be trying out some hemp seeds (read: fiber hemp not the medical one :P) if these won't work out.

looking forward to have a lush balcony for the summer!!!

Empty

i think last month was the first one when i didn't blog anything. quite interesting: january, the silent month. well, of course i'm too lazy to check it out. :D maybe some stray reader will point out my error (after all that's what stray readers tend to do. ;) to be honest, some months i do not actually blog - i've been just timing my posts earlier or maybe i sometimes cheat a little and publish something after "the due date"...

i used to love all the modifications i could do for my posts but it seems that only writing html would give me the same freedom anymore. sad - blogger be more user friendly with simple girls! :P

3 yötä jouluun on, laskin aivan itse eilen...

Tähtiyön ja lumen aikaa
ilmassa jo joulun taikaa
Lahjat, puuro, joulukuusi
odotus on aina uusi
Juhlikaamme ilon myötä
vieläkö on monta yötä?

(joulukorttieni vakioruno, kiitos henriikka!)
 

how many nights till christmas? i answered first. sorry - no chance for others! :P
