They where in all cities where I was. In the evening I went to Helene's choir rehearsal and before we ate rice and chicken.

It was snowing on the way


The T-bana to the city was expensive


I wanted to see the Opera house! It was nice.

And you could walk on the roof.

In the same restaurant where I was in 2006. We came here after we had seen Munch's paintings. It was great to see them again. After this we went back home. People came to Helenes place and from there we went to a party.

On deck, seeing the last bits of Stockholm

My cosy cabin. A man fell on me during the night! Oh yeah and it was the Finnish independence day. I didn't sleep to well. I had too much sweets, it was hot and the sea was a bit rough.

7.12 Arriving home. I missed the first train and took the bus to Åbo. An hour later train to Kyrkslätt. Home, French, Tired and Sleep. My breakfast was water and sweets. UGH

Kyrkslätt church Sunday Afternoon

13.12 Sunday - Woke up 9.30. We had bacon and eggs for breakfast. The bacon was from the UK. Pekka brought it from there. It was tasty. I read Ny Tid and Ylioppilaslehti. After breakfast Titus and me played a quick set of Stracraft. Then me and Isak went to Kirkkonummi swimming pool. There was a father and his young son in the shower room. The father said to the child. Yeah, Just pee on the floor. I swam 600 m and, dived and played. I was knackered. On our way to the swimming pool my GSP in my phone started to work.


Isak driving home

Great. Now I am home and waiting to eat lutfisk. Nam Yumm. Sauna in the evening. It's cold here -5.

12.12 Saturday - Yesterday, I woke up 11 after the party.


Pekka and Margareta were looking at the food they had bought from their trips.

I collected all writing I've done on my thesis. The text is of course still raw, but equals 41 pages. So the morning and afternoon I worked with my collecting material. Then we had dinner. Stampot and UK sausage. Then I played too much computer against Titus. To compensate I played guitar. Then I skyped with Maria.

11.12 Friday - Felt like Saturday. I woke up to Isak hooting outside. I washed up and prepared my funeral outfit. We left a bit late because of Titus. We arrived luckily on time. Robins funeral was beautiful. Then there was food at a restaurant.

Hel-looks Titus

I bought a pizza and a kebab to Titus. Then I walked to NIBs Christmas party. It was fun. I was home 2.30.

10.12 Thursday - I worked.


Aatos and Jens taking a break

I worked long and after work I went to the gym. After the gym I went to F-Musiikki. A very expensive music store. There I met Titus he tried percussion stuff and I tried guitar. We took metro and bus home. We had feta pasta for dinner.

No Worries I am back for real

Hello, Yes I am blogging for real. I have just been out traveling so it has taken some time.

9.12 Yes, today I woke up 7.30 and took the 8.15 to Helsinki. It was 10 minutes late when arrived in Helsinki. I walked fast to uni since my coat was thin. At uni I surfed the compulsory 30-60 min, then I started studying and read my wonderful book, Banking on Environment. At 11.55 I met Frida in the faculty library and we walked to the main building and had lunch with Rolle and we also accidentally met Minttu. So we were four by the table. Rolle thinks Zizek is a "pajas". What unfairness. He is great, the philosopher Slavoj Zizek this is. Then walk to my french lesson. I was talking a lot in class. I like speaking French. Then back to uni and reading for an hour. Then Frida and me went to the city looking for trousers. I bought a pair for 25 from Zara. Good blue Manchester. Then Stockmann and Forum but no luck. Then bus home and at home I made a fire to heat the house, ironed my shirt and polished my shoes and listened to Aldomovar soundtrack. How cosy it was. And I made pasta.
8.12 Yesterday I went to uni with 8.37 after saying goodbye to father who was going to France and UK. I studied at uni until one. Then I lunched with Frida and afterwards I had French from 2-4. After French I continued studies. At 5.30 metro to Hagnäs and in a shop where I bought a drink and something to eat there was a tramp smelling like shit. Then I played floorball and broke the rules as well. Then shower and then Amund, Fredrik and me went to Kampen. I took the bus home with Titus. At home relaxing. Ahhh.

1.12 - I took the 7.37 and met Ukri. We prepared for our lecture about the New Haven school. It went well. Then I left and walked fast to Kiasma, the museum for contemporary art. There I saw the film Zizek! It was amusing and interesting. I had a meal at McD and went back quickly I would get a place for his second lecture in Kiasma. It was packed with people.


People waiting to get in


Himself

It was so good again! Fun fun fun! Urban was also there but Rolle came to late. It was full. I talked with Urban and I bought some lights for the toilet. Urban and me took the train towards Kyrkslätt. I got of in Masaby and walked home. When I was walking up the slope before the turn I though that now I'll met a friend I'll have for a long time. And yes my amp was at home waiting.


Packed amp


And here is my new friend

I opened played and then played more. Unfortunately the front light was broken. Now it has been repaired. Isak did it. Good.

30.11 I worked until 2. Then I had French for an hour. This was followed by a lecture held by Slavoj Zizek. It was wonderful. Really good and inspiring. Very good. It lasted for three hours.


People getting out afterward


People waiting for it to start

I took the bus home and told my family what he had said. Great. When I was on my way home Pekka called me and told me that there was a letter from Matkahuolto to me. He opened it and said it was the amp. The amp had reached Kyrkslätt.

29.11 Sunday - Me and Titus played some computer, probably. During the day we shoot a film. We made almost the whole film behind our garage with a strong spot for lights. Titus cut the stuff and a wonderful 5 min film appeared. Sunday Sauna of course.
