(Christmas trip 2009, part 8) I didn’t manage to catch up with my schedule yet, still lagging one day behind. But really, I’m trying to write this as fast as humanely possible. It just takes a while. Lot to digest. After all, it’s the last post before the blog has to take a dip into [...]

(Christmas trip 2009, Part 7) Schedules are a bitch to keep. When I started writing this blog, my plan was “every other day, no exceptions”. Less than 10 posts into it and I’m failing that goal miserably. Decided to go to Tampere again this weekend (this time to see friends’ new apartment) and spent both [...]

(Christmas trip 2009, Part 2) The easy thing to do next, after posting a fun lighthearted travel report, would be to start writing some stuff with a clear agenda – And to be fully honest with you, I’d love to talk about the way franchises have spread out so that everything is always the same, [...]

(Christmas trip 2009, Part 1) First posts and all that. Lots of pressure. Need to set the over-all themes and moods and things like that.
