Once again things are changing. I know you readers are probably wondering “NOW WHAT!!??” But that’s the way it is… I might be moving to Göteborg (or Gothenburg as it seems we say in English) For those of you who don’t know, it’s in the south of Sweden. And what the heck do I want [...]
Recently I came across an interesting site. It’s the Finnish version of partypoker.com Even though that link is to the Finnish language version, you can change it to whatever language you want when you get there. Now, I’m going to be clear, that I don’t encourage people to go out and lose their home gambling [...]
So… for the last couple of months I’ve been helping Kirsi work on the Nutcracker for her dance school. This time instead of just helping out with some minor technical stuff (music, graphics etc) I agreed to actually be on stage in the role of Drosselmeier. But I wasn’t about to be the only non-dancer [...]
So… the 26th of December Finland gets hit my the mother of storms. Nothing but uprooted trees and fallen electric cable for kilometers around. We were without electric for over five days! I have to admit that I actually almost enjoyed the blackout. We have our own fireplace downstairs and the weather was warm for [...]
First of all for those of you just stumbling in here… I don’t have Mesothelioma. But I learned of one of our readers, Heather Von St.James who shortly after giving birth to their daughter, Lily Rose, was diagnosed with Mesothelioma, a type of cancer that kills 90-95% of those who have it. Fortunately she beat [...]
Some of you might have already seen strip#107 some of you might have not, but it’s been taken down. It was me and Kirsi building our new barn and there were some slight innuendo remarks. I received a lecture here at home about “keeping things clean” etc. And I agree that I don’t feel the [...]
It’s been one crummy year! At the beginning of this year my grandmother passed away. My mother and I tried to get things in order for one of us to get there (The U.S.) but we didn’t make it on time. Then a few months later my father’s mother died. We weren’t that close for [...]
Don’t worry, I’m not disappearing for weeks on end. There’s just some stuff going on in the family right now (no one’s died) and we have to do a family road trip. It’ll be the whole beginning of this week and since these things tend to get me by surprisde and I don’t have a [...]
It just dawned on me the other day that I never followed up with what happened to the music video project I was working on. “What was it…?”, you ask. Well… the plan was to make a prequel to the Capital of Culture event that takes place Turku in September of 2011. It was put together [...]
I’ve got a small gig working on a music video that’s part of the whole “Cultural Capital of Europe” thing going on in Finland throughout the year. So all of my time has been sucked up lately doing storyboards and going over the project with the creators. I’ll also be shooting it, editing it and [...]
