Christmassy

Christmas blog starting...
Once more Christmas is over. Three fighting filled days with four days trying to forget the anger so that people don't blame me for ruining christmas (2 years ago 7 days of fighting, not funny at all, although I was right!). Why the fight? The same reason that all fights after I came back from Rome; the DVD player that my mom refuses to fix and doesn't let me fix either, and that bloody book researche thingy! After yelling my mother finally took the player to the shop, from where a new one will possibly come ib 2 weeks. That's quite brilliant because someone in this building has started to watch internet tv and mine works now only before 1pm. Only problem is that I'm in Turku, and I won't go home to get the player before summer. About the book, mother swore about information she had found from the archives. I wanted to make sure because, because she's really smart, she hadn't marked the archive numbers to the notes. Well, there wasn't any information, my mom can't read apparently. Luckily I was able to make a fool out of "her" by yelling in the middle of the office!



That wasn't my real reason here. The real was that I watched Skins season4. Just now I finished the last 2 episodes, and trying not to make spoilers, I was shocked. I keep repeating What the fuck, ans I don't understand. How can you end a season like that?!! What makes it worse is that now they show the 5th season with totally different cast. Cunts. Buut anyways, I've been wondering Freddie. For some reason he looks to me Indian(?!) but as the wikipedia (and surname) tells us he's Italian. Weird... One reason may be his sister, who looks Indian to me. Well actually she's partly Filipino. My race radar seems to be as rotten as my famous gay radar. A guy can go to gay parade and see Lady Gaga, and take us to the best gay club in town, and still be just a little eccentric heterosexual art historian, right?



I was a little worried about the DVD player, because I was sort of worried I would get a DVD for present. I had been raving over the 2002 Count of Monte Christo and just a week before Christmas over 3rd season of Robin Hood. Well, as it turned out, my fears didn't come true. I got a stresstoy cranate, which is awful. I pressed it once and it drome me grazy! I estimate it to have a lifespan of one week before I tear it to pieces with my teeth. Then I got decoration lamps to my window. Good because I only had three before. (Electric pollution!). But I guess I can't complain, I gave everyone underpants.

Brand new year

Ciao!
It's 4th of January, already! I should be brisk and ready for new year after 2 weeks of resting home, but I'm incredibly tired, ever since I came back to my student appartement. Damn you after christmas sales! Yesterday I wenr over and over around the draper's shop searching fabric to bedspread and shirt, but I ended up buying a strange looking fabric of mustard yellow, about 1,2X2m. What the hell I'm going to do with it? Worst part is that it's full of holes... Now it's outside in frost to all the animals in it to die. Well, it's ok, it was supposed to cost 5€ but I ended up paying 2,75. It's lovely, so soft, so soft...

And unfortunately has baroque ornaments, which I have too much! I need to delete that stuff from my room. I've been putting fabrics, curtains, scarfs, table cloths on my walls and it's so beautiful, but alas, so boring in the face of brand new year.


Now I'm gonna list all the christmas presents. I must say, I was quite hopeless after last year's fiasco, one fucking dvd (which unfortunately ended up being quite invigorating), salmiac (Finnish candy with liquorice and salt, my favourite but certainly not a christmas delicacy), and once more a pastry brush. I decided that if I got one again this year, I would throw it through a window. But I didn't get one. I got chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, and also set of warn underware, which apparently was quite common gift, us having -30c this christmas, hurrah! Then I got external dvd drive, because I had broken my internal and was too lazy to get it fixed, maybe my computer doesn't hotten up so much any longer... My father gave me a calendar, which incredible banknote in between. Hope it's still there... The calendar has pictures of forest nature, quite boring, but always better than the alternative with tractors. Sister got one with baby animals, spoiled little animal herself... No no that's not true! She didn't give me anything last year, but my did she compensate it this year. I only gave her book, Praise of folly by Erasmus of Rotterdam, some instant chocolate coffee and 3€ dvd of stupid college kids. The reason was she is writing (or trying) her master's thesis, and with 20% she might understand the joke and actually find it amusing. 80% she would kill me, but I took a change and it payed off! She on the other hand gave me The imaginarium od doctor parnassus or whatever dvd, Prode and prejudice and zombies or whatever book, and a toaster. A Toaster!!! Hurrah for her!


I came back here on Sunday, and found that I have a new roommate. I fastly put my new toaster on kitchen table so that s wouldn't put her's there. It would be stupid to have two, and to keep mine on box. But my biggest fear was that she would toast her bread there first. Is there nothing worse than lose the change to use your own machine first? That's against the freedom of individuality!
