It’s Thursday, not that long ago. Early morning for me, so it’s probably closer to noon out there. I think I am finally waking up. Slowly, but surely.  Left eyelid. Right eyelid. That’s it. Wide awake. Feels like it’s been a long night of research. I look around, searching for clues to my location. After [...]

I had the perfect trifecta of nightmares the other night. First I had a horrible work-nightmare where I couldn’t understand one bit of the stuff I was supposed to do. Then there was a blog-nightmare in which they had hacked Finnish Beauty and turned it into an adult site about gay Moroccan soccer players. And [...]

This is one of those cases where I just have to begin by apologizing. Been a while. It’s not really my fault or anyth… ah, screw it. Been lazy. Been a bit thoughtful about what I can write about. Making excuse after excuse of not to write about what’s been happening. Stopping that now and [...]

The thing about writing this blog is that it forces me to a situation where I can’t stand still. I can’t get caught in any sort of status quo in my life. Even if that would be going out and partying, like it has pretty much been. A lot. Lately. So, need to go out [...]

There are some drafts on my computer waiting to be finished and posted. Some more rough ideas in my notebook for posts. But frankly, they’re all trying to point out an Issue or tell about a Thing. They all feel like I’m trying to make a statement instead of just telling what’s up. So I’m [...]

Finally a post that’s not about me, but about Finland. In this case, Finnish Pop. I’m calling it “Part 1″ because I have a feeling this won’t be the last time I’ll be doing this. And should be noted that I’m very biased. Ignoring some stuff other people probably think of as essential and just [...]

I have a feeling these blog posts will have a tendency to turn into reports of what I did last night. Not that it’s a bad thing, but still it wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I started this thing. But I guess I’ll be dropping some fundamental truths about Finland and the [...]

I woke up this morning with the perfect idea for a blog post. Sadly, it was one of those ideas that I should have written down, really as I don’t remember it anymore. It’s been a week of pause without a word, so it’s quite safe to assume that my trip to Berlin was pretty [...]

Okay, deep breaths. I can still do this, right? Even if I feel like I don’t have the time. I’m one day behind the schedule, and will end up lagging even more soon. I’m heading to Berlin to a conference for this weekend (yeah, you’ll be hearing these “well, I have plans to X this [...]

(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 [...]
