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

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!!!

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
