Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night...
On Saturday night I stayed home, made my favorite food (spinach tortellini with red onion and pepper in a pan, Old Bricks Inn style, yummy), even had some wine with it (pretty good red, 250ml for 99cents), listened to Suede and read the book I bought earlier that day. It was kind of fun. Never thought I'd drink anything alcoholic alone unless just before leaving for a party where I don't know anyone (done this maybe twice). I'm sort of feeling guilty for doing something I said I'd never do (elina, "doing nothing, doing it at you" Nada Surf). Who knows what I'll be doing next (getting back with exes, smoking cigarettes and eating meat...?). I certainly hope not. Oh, but it's not so bad unless I am now on my way to becoming alcoholic.
The book I bought said "Don't read this alone, don't read this after dark, but do read it". I was kind of contemplating whether I should buy that one or a Brittish singles book. Went for something else again. The book wasn't so scary. I ended up finishing it on sunday and not even late. It had like maybe 600 pages. Now I am quite annoyed since I have to go out and get another book. Last time I stood in front of the shelf for like 15 minutes talking to myself trying to choose a book. They'll start wondering about me in the store if I do that every other day.
The smart thing would be to not buy a book but to read the one I haven't finished "Polymorphism in Molecular Crystals" by J. Bernstein. Yeah. Sounds exciting doesn't it. Not that it isn't interesting for sure and if it wasn't then I'd be in big trouble writing my thesis. I'm just lazy when it comes to studying especially since I work everyday till four and get home at around five writing this blog and all.
Oh and I did go out on Friday night so I didn't spend the whole weekend by myself. On sunday I even left my appartment to bike across and back on both the bridges, which was something I've never done before. If it only stopped raining every day I could actually get out more and not have a good excuse to stay at home.

Now you've got that social tiredness I've been dealing with for a while. I can't think of anything better than lying at home, reading or watching tv and doing those things you never have time for like putting on nail polish on my toe nails and using some clarifying mask on my face. I hope to have plenty of time for that now since Jaakko's gone for like 9 days on his work trip. (I'll miss him terribly though) Imagine, I haven't even written in my diary for like 2 years. That was the last time I spent time alone.
But be sure not to spend too much time alone, you might forget how to call up a friend like I seem.
The AC is broken at work. It's HOT and sweaty here.
I should really write my own boring blog and not terrorise yours with unending comments.
It finally looks like rain here. I've seen 3 drops all summer in Espoo!

But terrorising other people's blogs seems way more fun than writing to my own blog... And ain't this the thing of blogs... the commenting and conversations I mean.
In her first post Gini mentioned that it's nice to be back in Finland after all the hot weather in I-don't-remember-where. I have to ask was it an alternate reality she visited? It rained twice this summer, maybe once in June and of course once in July when DJBB played in (is it in or at?) Pori Jazz...
Great gig that was though. Once again DJBB stole the evening from the main act...

And the Irish Anonymous strikes again... Oh there is nothing more enjoyable than coming home on your own, preparing some finnish rye pasta with chili tomato sauce, rucola salad and fresh parmesan and a nice glass of red wine. And Star Trek at 6 pm. Nothing better... I'm such a person for leaving the party first, called it doing the "Tuhkimot" again. But well, for a few weeks I've had a great excuse, I'm 30.
