Weekend

Wanted to get some rest, but no rest for the wicked, which is probably all for the better.

Satruday Jarno and Lena were here, and we had a very nice evening even though a somewhat short one. I don't know what gave us the idea to watch a Russian comedy and a Hong Kong one, but it was fun. Gotta get them to visit me again in the near future.

Yesterday went to Ville and Leena and watched hockey and ate pancakes. Leena makes great pancakes. Then we watched The Perfect Storm, which was a lot more impressive in the movie than it was for real, athough it is no surprise since the movie mostly showed the deep sea and I saw the storm from the shore. At some point Ville was also watching some 80s rock bands which mostly consisted of young men with long hair that would have been quite pretty is somebody had used a liter of heavy conditioner and a big brush on it.

Today celebrated the Passover and ate too much. I am never eating anything again. I even made some suspicious vegetarian food, although the only vegetarian who made it here was Meira, but apparently it was well-liked since it was all eaten. For a second I reflected on the irony of an American in Finland celebrating the Passover with Finnish friends and making eggplants Georgian style for the purpose, and not from the Georgia state either, but from the small country in the Causasus.

The German Russian dulce de leche was weighed, measured, and found wanting, but it's sort of OK.
