Oh my god is it hot in the UK. Today is the hottest day of the year and apparently it’s currently hotter in London than in Jamaica. What’s that about?? The fact that I burned myself ridiculously badly on Sunday doesn’t really add to my comfort level either… So glad to be going home tomorrow. 😛 I must say that… Read More

Midsummer’s Day Originally uploaded by mnoo. Well whaddya know, I did get to go to a lake at midsummer after all. 😛 We went for a little road trip to Tuusulanjärvi and even visited Halosenniemi like proper tourists. 😀 The weather has been lovely today, even though there’s this pressure around my head that usually means rain/thunder. We’ll see. I… Read More

I so need a haircut. 😐 There is nothing ‘lovely’ about it Susie. 😛

White Music Originally uploaded by mnoo. It’s midsummer today and everyone in Finland has traveled to their summer cottages to get drunk. It kinda sneaked up on me this year, I didn’t even think to take this day off (as I don’t get a bank holiday today like people who work for finnish employers do) which is silly. But I… Read More

Ok, I have finally gathered my thoughts about last night. Here’s a small recap of the concert. It was an incredibly hot day and the aircon at the venue wasn’t all that. We sat at the back row of the balcony (that’s what you get for buying tickets too late) and to start with I was sure I wasn’t going… Read More

She was just wonderful. Truly. Maybe tomorrow I can write something coherent. I didn’t get a shirt because I didn’t have cash on me and they didn’t take cards! Sucks. 🙁 (Oh and umm, I changed the pictures around in my moblog because it annoyed me that it said welcome on the picture that was last. 😐 And now there… Read More

Wasting Time Originally uploaded by mnoo. I can’t sleep because it smells of fish in the bedroom. Seriously. I have no idea why, but it’s disgusting. The lightness is also keeping me up. Not in the way that it’s too light in the bedroom to sleep with the curtains drawn, but in the way that the summer nights are too… Read More

Oh I completely forgot to mention earlier Re: X-Men. Hadn’t that angel boy gotten a bit of a Hollywood Extreme Makeover or what! 😮 He certainly looked a far cry from his character in Six Feet Under, I nearly didn’t recognize him. It never ceases to amaze me how Americans can rebuild people to look like nothing they did before…. Read More

So I have my Friday pizza and my rum & coke next to me, but I’m sitting in front of the computer instead of a good film. But it’s ok, perhaps in the month (that the World Cup takes) I’ll have enough time to myself to finish all those things that I’ve been putting off. 😛 Like, getting my back-ups… Read More

I have now completed my task of testing this summer’s liquorice/salmiak ice cream cones and I’m happy to say I’ve found a clear winner. But before I reveal it, let’s recap. First I tried the old classic Pingviini Lakritsi cone. It’s nice as far as ice cream cones go, but it’s not particularly ‘liquoricy’. More like vanilla ice cream with… Read More
