a person rang me yesterday afternoon as i sat playing civilization 4 – usually when anyone rings me and starts talking i have to tell them that they have the wrong person (my phone number used to belong to a well connected finnish bar person), but this time it actually was for me. it was the saunalahti man coming to install my internet downstairs in the bellows of my building. so that should be working/turned on next weekend – then i have to go out and get an adsl modem/router thing (linksys thingy link i think). so when that is all set up and bought i can start uploading the 4gb-ish of photo backlog onto flickr. (also new camera ordered and it should be waiting for me when i get back to ireland for the christmas holidays).

it started snowing here last night. woo! four or five months of snow. we’re off to suomenlinna for a cold snow filled afternoon (although by the time we get there it will be dark).
