stockmann yesterday and this morning, hullut päivät (crazy days) offers. i am no longer under the illusion that finns are reserved. they went crazy when the doors opened, running up five stories to get into the queue for one sale, snatching queue tickets and getting into little fights.

that attitude is helping me get back into the mood for new york!!! holidays booked, nyc 23.02. - 06.03.05 jeooow. nyki taas! espically looking forward to the fingerprinting and mugshot

google news doesnt have a localised news aggregator for ireland yet, but msn does (the main page is standard stuff, click on ‘ireland‘ for the irish news sources).

autumn is here. one day blue skies and calmness, the next seven is rain and wind.

yet again i am passed over by city lehti for kaupungin paras (cities best). here is the 2004 list.

currently planning holidays for next year. we have two options.

a: i go to ireland for 10-15 days for either christmas or february. päivi goes to london / paris around the same time.
b: going to guatemala via nyc for just over two weeks in mid february for a wedding.

b is the current favourite. i am desperate for some time back home, but the wedding is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. a brochure that came today for stockmanns “hullut päivät” (crazy day sale) next week has a good offer on flights to new york. we’ll see.
