Eating Muffins in an Agitated Manner

MayDay! Åcon2 Approacheth!

Posted by jukkahoo

It's almost time for Åcon2! Ian McGoH is, as I type this down, being transported from the Seutula airport to Helsinki. GoH has landed!

We're leaving tomorrow morning (night more like it...) in order to catch the pre-6AM train to Turku. I have this nagging fear that I'll be waking up way before that. *sigh* Then it's the short ferry trip to Åland islands and we'll be ready to start this magnificentious SF-extravaganza! I am really looking forward to this one. Åcon last year was such a great convention and since we're basically doing it all over again, with new Guest of Honour and spanking new program, this should be swell and then some.

OK, better start packing up. Oh, and remember to take out the trash, Jukka!

Monday dogblogging

The Girl wanted me to start blogging. I have no idea what she means by blogging, unless it has something to do with me getting something yummy. In which case I'm all for it. I like yummy things. Like Dentastix. They're REAL yummy. I could eat them all the time. But the Girl and Boy don't give them to me more than once in the evening. And even then I have to keep reminding them. THey keep saying that I'll get my Dentastix when it's 9PM.

What's 9PM? Is it something to eat? I like to eat. Especially if it's something yummy. I like yummy things. Like Dent.. Hey, what's that? Is that a Dentastix? No? OK, I still wouldn't mind having it. Can I have it, Boy? Thanks. I better eat it right away, unless someone tries to eat it before I will. Ha!

So, what's this blogging, then? Something to eat? I like... Hey, where's my lacrosse ball?

Hesarin lukupiirissä on herännyt keskustelua meistä kotimaista kirjallisuutta karttavista yksilöistä. Ja muutama keskustelija on heittänyt sielläkin kehiin mutatis mutandis otsikon argumentin. Ja totta siinä on toki jos nyt ei toinen puoli niin ainakin hiukkanen. Aina on se mahdollisuus että otos ei ole tarpeeksi kattava muodostamaan perusteltua mielipidettä asiasta tai kolmannesta.

Minä en pidä suomenkielisestä (proosa)kirjallisuudesta koska kokemukseni mukaan se on arkista, synkkää, miehistä, kielellisesti suoraviivaista, karttaa tietämisen iloa eikä pysty luonnollisesti kuvaamaan suomen kielen puherekisteriä. Haluaisiko joku vinkata suomalaisia romaaneja joista saattaisin pitää?

Congratulations!

Happy trails to my sister-in-law (and obviously Sari's sister...) Merja and her boytoy boyfriend Teemu, who soon will tie the knot and finally register their relationship! This is truly a happy occasion and I believe ALL our readers will join Sari and me as we wish all the best for the happy couple!

Marriage is a big step in any relationship. It certainly was in our case. So big in fact that we needed to move all the way to those United States. I wonder if Merja nad Teemu will do the same, and move, say, to China? :)

Happy, happy, joy, joy!!!
