Bloop!

We have some snow here right now, and according to BBC there shall be heavy snowfall tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what that means. At least it's a sunday, hopefully it will thwart the ensuing chaos a little.

We've been to London on a shopping spree, I found all kinds of interesting things, I shall make a coherent post complete with pictures for y'all to enjoy.

Oh, andI actually went swimming! Now I have a one year membership at the Leisure Centre, so for the sake of money spent I will have to go swimming again (I'm sort of aiming for once a week or something).

It's very calming to live in a house in which the heating starts to slack as soon as the temperature outside drops below the freezing point, i.e. when it is needed the most, really. It's just that the thermostat and boiler experience communication difficulties. If they had facebook pages I bet their relationship status would be stated as "It's Complicated". Thus far waving the thermostat in front of the boiler has solved the issue, so we're still alive, however barely.

Roomie left just before 5 a.m. this morning, we'll leave the house about half past nine tomorrow morning. My bags are almost packed. Almost.

The forecast says there's possible snow over here in England next week. It is almost certainly because of us having to leave our herbs outside during the break. Sorry for that, Brits. 

Or maybe I should say Britz. . a posh and teadrinking version of Bratz? Her interests would be the weather, proper scones, damp ghosts and the weather. Her boyfriend could be Prince Charlez.

I just realized I gave away the innovation of the decade.

Seaside Town

We had a lecture about surrealist and dada film in the early 20th century, it was really interesting. I also finally saw Andalusian Dog, have only seen parts of it before. We had another 'lecture' in the afternoon, during which we watched a film about an artist who did a really big project in the US, it was also interesting.

Here's some pictures from Whitstable (a lovely seaside town in East Kent, England)

Cool kids hang around in the harbour.

Ah, the smell of the sea.

Looks like someone doesn't want surprise guests in the garden.

SPLUOSH!

Small, sympathetic houses all huddled together by the seaside.

I caught a roomie! I really love that alley's name.

It was really cold that day, but nothing that a hardy Finn can't handle. Especially with a cup of hot chocolate (with tiny marshmallows!) in a cozy café.

Fly Fly Fey Flu

I feel this cold creeping up on me, and I hope it'll change it's mind. Drinking hot chocolate and eatin varm soup and doing other equally unpleasant things to scare it away. Do you think chocolate will discourage it? I'm absolutely positive that the delicious chocolate cookie assortment the neighbours gave us last saturday contains the right medicine. I might have to eat try my way through several different chocolate coated bisquits before I find the correct one. All in the name of health.

Speaking of chocolate I'm quite proud to tell you that I haven't touched my "Fazer's Blue" I brought with me all the way from Finland. It's quite possibly one of the best milk chocolates I know. I haven't found any with a similar taste yet. I however have to admit that me and my roomie bought a couple of Cadbury chocolate slabs (or big bars, whatever you call it), one Dairy Milk and one Caramel. They aren't bad either. In my defence I'll say that they were on a special offer.

Also, speaking of roomies, they both have their own blogs (we are three people living in the house). They also have deviantART accounts, so pay them a visit if you're interested in their doodles (dA) or writings (blog).


Pastelfoxhunt, her deviantART is Santih.

We had our first proper lecture in Critical Histories today. It was really interesting, but the enthusiastic lecturer spoke with the speed of light, so if you even thought a second about how to phrase my notes, he'd already rushed a couple of textmiles and powerpoint slides further.

I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually.
