Not the grannie but the lense she was photographed with. Like.

complaining part 2

The streets in Helsinki are no more ordinary streets. They are a bloody warzone in a clash between ploughs and snowstorms. Damn it. It's not okay when you need snowblower to get out of a tram...

20.12.10

in addition..

While ago I told you that we have darkness and cold weather. I forgot to mention that we also have snow. Shitloads of snow...

Mr. Ränni-Rapu

From yesterdays SMC Hoodrats gig at Fredan Tivoli. Insane, insane, insane...

18.12.10

Trauma in Rauma. Everything went kind of ok. I guess. Or maybe not. Don't know really..

17.12.10

Greetings from Rauma. They have a really nice Christmas tree here. Don't bother to check it out though - Tampere has a better one. It's always a joy to come here. Last time here I think I lost a piece of my hair..

14.12.10

This is Finland

This is Finland 8:30am. Dark, cold, distant and dark. Welcome! Don't believe the hype. Don't believe Mr. Alexander Stubb.

13.12.10

And another one, cause I like these so :-)

My uncle rocking it on his 60th birthday on Thursday. From that gig started my weekend which was a bit too long - once again.

Tampere Thursday

Wow, I'm actually feeling quite ok after few days of disastrous condition. It's time to head back to the origin of those feelings to check out the 60-year-birthday-gig of the coolest relative ever.

27.11.10

Looks fucking cold, doesn't it? Yes it does. And it was... Jesus...

25.11.10

It was -7°C when I today pedaled to work. I nearly died out there. I really don't know how on Earth I'm going to survive next weeks -20°C..... Why can't it be summer all year long?! Where the fuck is global warming, what's taking so long?!

Love stories

Just watched the movie New York, I Love You. It was good, watch it if you liked Paris, je t'aime. Lots of cool love stories. Different kind of love stories were seen in Thailand, unfortunately...

ROSKA. TODAY. 22:00.

We were ought to have a crazy-ass blizzard from frozen hell but no, all we got was water, lots of water. Thank you Pekka Pouta. I do not trust you anymore.

9.11.10

a good start of week

Some serious photoshit went down today. It was probably the largest single photo I've done. And now, after seeing the result, I'm actually very pleased with it. It made me go bananas, and pineapples cause I like pineapples. I will show you when it is time, so don't worry. I also went to Kontula deep-east-hoods to actually ride my bike for a long time. I'm quite proud of that also. What imposing Monday! (We got some snow here, I don't mind :-) )

Samu my man going high as hell! Go boe!

under the sheets

You know what's one of the best things in the world. Yes, huumetukka.com is also one of those, but this time I mean hotel sheets. God damn they feel blasting when you fall in them at 06:24am. (And it's awful as fuck to leave them behind when the cleaner comes to drive you away.) Hotel sheets are always rustly, hard (in an oddly good way) and clean like a baby's mind. Tomorrow it's once again time to feel the endless pleasure of hotel sheets in Tampere. And if you want to share a night with me (not under the sheets) come to the Ilves Nightclub and I just might take a photo of you.
