Becoming a Crystallographer

This is the blog of a future crystallographer, not that crystallography is the main area of discussion. I'll maybe mention it once in a while, while writing about my life and other things.

Weird and wonderful things

I got home from my weekend trip yesterday and decided to watch a movie since I was not really sleepy. I've had "Superman Returns" on my computer for quite a while so I decided to watch that one. I was expecting it to be a "Superman saves the world and so on" -movie but it was really weird. I mean he did save the world but otherwise the atmosphere was strange. It might have been that the sound quality apparently was not so good as I was having trouble hearing what the people were saying. It might also have been the fact that it was just pouring outside and the rain drops hitting my window were really loud. Maybe it was a combination of the two and me being sort of weird that made the movie seem weird. Maybe if I'd watched it during the day or with company, it would have been different. Well anyway. It wasn't such a bad movie. Quite predictable, really, though in a weird sort of way. It also made me have weird dreams, though there really isn't anything weird about me having weird dreams.

But yeah. The weekend was really nice. Good company, good food and new places and things. We even went too a night club in Kerava. Now that was an experience. Apparently there is like this new song about the city/town and they played it like twice and "everyone" went to dance. We were like "what the heck?". The night seemed kind of surreal really. I'd only had like one cider before going there and only one there so alcohol can't be the reason. But it was really fun in a weird sort of way.

The drive on Friday was sort of fun like I'd expected. It was great seeing my sister and her husband. And sometimes it's just incredibly fun to get together with family. Like we went to have a bathroom break at this huge mall near Tampere on our way to Helsinki and there was this booth selling strawberries. Me and my sister were like "let's go get so strawberries!" and ran over to the booth. See normal people would not have run over, but we did. We even bought some peas. And while we were waiting for my sister and her husband at Tampere railway station I wanted and thus bought some ice cream. Then when they came over, they wanted ice cream too. I thought that was just great. See it was like we wanted to get too where we were going but still has time to get the ice cream and the strawberries and have fun on the way there. It's often like that when I see my sisters and brothers and they've even managed to find significant others that go along with it, which is really wonderful.

    I agree. Getting together with family is great. They came over and we played Wii, went to the sauna and then in the end me and the big sis ended up singing our hearts out to Singstar. The only right way to play really.
    U have to come over and sing soon too!
