Meanwhile, in Helsinki...

...devils gather to knit.

As we learned in main trainstation of Helsinki keskusta today, in the LP section of some store in the subway tunnels...

And the downstairs neighbours (mine, not the ones in hell...) seem to have found back again their toolbox, their hysteria, their way to deaf-ness, and other loud things. Very nice.

welcome spring

Yes I know it was snowing today, and yes I know its still slippery and cold outside... its just... its about time this winter lets go. King Winter, would you so kindly take mr snow and miss ice with you, and go to the place santa claus goes to for the summer-half of the year!
And I haven't even been the one to complain about the minus 25 degrees freaky cold for lengths of time, or the piles and tonnes of snow... not even the darkness of winter time has been a big complaining topic of mine this time around. But now its enough. I want to get that feeling that I have tried to create in my hallway (the picture), and your coldness majesty can't be part of it, sorry.

Oh and by the way, grats to me for feeling very satisfied with my Basic medicine: anatomy and physiology Exam/mid term.

Fracture = vistit the dentist?

As the saying go, misery loves company, it seems painfully true. For me today it's not so overly dramatic and poetic as the saying, but still holds to its point.
When slightly incapacitated sitting here with my taped foot, a filling in my tooth had to "fall" (more like jump) out when being very good and following the advice given by the stern and fingerpointing dentists... -usage of dental floss.
Very fun then, to have to go see the dentist in a hurry, limping and ice-packed streets and all. yey! ( I managed NOT to fall on my ass...)
And I cant say I have ever been afraid for the dentist, but this time was the most foul-tasting and choke-feeling visit of them all. Uncomfortable !!

"yes, if you feel any discomfort, just wave your hand"
-Extensive waving, I'm about to choke-
"okay, can you (the assistant) apply suction here (gesture)...."
-Nothing happens, I start coughing-
-I hit their tool table. Little bit sucktion and rinsing with some drops of water. It still tastes like discust and death-
"yes, if you can just try to breathe calmly through your nose..."
-More coughing-
"your gums are bleeding quite much, so this will take some time...."

YEEESSS!

Mr. Dr. Dentist + company.... small question:
Whats wrong with letting the patient rinse the mouth with water in this situation?? To get that clot of stuff out of there? The thing that makes the patient do things that compromise the work and hence, the time it's going to take??

Easter competition participant

I read alot of different blogs, and many of them is related to interior and decor. One of them is this: Vintage kompagniets blog who is currently holding a easter give-away. Its a Danish online store that sells great amounts of interior decorating items, many with vintage look, and quite many items that actually IS vintage, from French flea markets and antique stores.

I like the style indeed very much, but its hard to implement it into our post-modern rectangular block of a home...And also, a few small items here and there is not neccesarily making the look complete ;) but I include things according to our home colours etc.
And I'm indeed liking the give-away, these are the stuff that is up for "grabs" (or rather: winning ;)) I mean, just look at that gorgeous handcotcheted lace!

By the way, what is a "gækkebrev"? As I read Danish fluently, its silly to see that there is one item that I have no clue what it is, even if the picure can describe it.... The two rolls of handmade paper there on the right, is the gækkebreve. I cant say we have something equivalent in the Norwegian language.

Nåh. anyways. Thanks to Tina, the owner of the blog, in holding a nice little give-away attention gathering.

Fractured toe=restless reading for a week

....at least!

This is not mine...

I wanted to ask the doctor if I could get a copy of my x-ray, but I chickened out...
So I borrowed one from the www(link to owner of picture rights is embedded).

So now I have quite much sitting still time on my hands, as walking is not really very helping the remodeling. But I have plenty to read, ironically enough, curriculum this next two weeks is about skeleton and muscles... :P

Its just so..... very boring to be cooped up inside! Sun is shining, I want to go outside, get fresh air.... But I have to be strict if I don't want to have a weird, and painfully shaped toe....

studying

I've been busy!
Im currently taking a distance- study course in anatomy and physiology! AND I'm finally taking my driver's license. YEY!
So, hence not much blogging.
I'm trying to catch up with the little falling behind that I have managed to do already (in the course, not the blogging...). It's incredible, really, that with only few days of doing something else important business, I've managed to fall back on a few subjects. This course is actually half-speed, so it SHOULD be possible with some stuff in between, like actually cleaning the house properly. Or concentrating on learning how to operate a vehicle a couple of hours in the week...
But then again, seems I have to double back this weekend, and read up on how the nervoussystem functions on a detailed level. And not to forget how sensatory reactions work. yeeey....and then at the same time be updated on what this weeks topic actually was...
So! *pushing self back to reading*

...or dreaming about travelling?
(pictures are from the super ultrafast Tallinn trip we took in august. Speed photography, anyone?)

crazy happy about mowing the lawn?
