Had a nice
junk food breakfast: A
chicken hamburger at
HesBurger. The place sucks, but it's the best
option downtown since they removed one of the 3
Carrols-restaurants a while ago. I wish somebody would
steal my idea for a
Hi-Tech Hamburger Restaurant™ soon.
:)
It's wonderfully
chilly out again, maybe even a bit too cold for walking around wearing a
T-shirt. At the moment it even looks like the
lethally hot weather won't arrive to the southern
Finland this
weekend. Yay!
Speaking of the weekend, the big
marine festival has begun in the city of
Kotka. This basicially means some
concerts and other happenings, and a small
seaside city completely
packed with
finns consuming ridiculous amounts of
hard liquor,
puking all over the place etc.
I went to the festival once a few
summers ago, and found it quite pointless and
boring. The most
interesting thing was walking from downtown Kotka to the
summer cottage we were staying at with Masa and his then-girlfriend. Every single
street light was turned
off and the distance we had to walk was approx. 11
km. When we finally got to the cottage, somebody noted that we could've just taken a
bus.
ARGH!
We weren't the most
unlucky ones, though. Other members of our group had left the city center a few hours later, but walked in
the opposite direction for 4km before noticing it. Trust me, they were pretty
pissed off when they finally made it.
Needless to say, I'm not going to attend the
booze-festival this year, or any year
for that matter. My
boss has made a big number about him going all week, and I'm really looking forward to hearing how
fun it is not being able to
remember a thing about the whole weekend afterwards. Sigh.
Hämeenlinna has something a lot nicer: a
hot air balloon race with its
route going right over our
house. I'll probably spend the weekend laying on the
grass watching those
colourful things
floating slowly in the
sky. (can you say "
trippy"?)

My
sister is back from the
summer camp, and it seems she had a great time over there. Good! The only complaint she had was on the unability to go back next week.
:) Remembering the fun I had in the very same camp 10 years ago, I fully understand how she feels.
The
GHB kicked in, and I found myself noding
lyrics again. I'll probably get
systematically downvoted, but who cares?
No hot air balloons on the sky as of yet. But I'm
waiting...
