Today I bit my dentist. It wasn’t my fault. I couldn’t even feel it. What I did feel, however, was him trying to pull out my tooth. So it was in pure defence that my jaws closed around his finger.

Christmas in pictures
Posted in Christmas, culture, events, family, Finland, food, life, music, pictures, Relatives and other friends on January 7, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I went home and spent my Christmas doing what I’ve done for 27 years now. We watched Donald Duck on Swedish TV. And the traditional family photo was taken - courtesy of Olle. We ate lots of leftovers. We took the ferry to Bergö to visit my grandparents. There was singing – that was interrupted by my [...]
Today a day like other days

Today. I couldn’t get access to the work plan I’m writing until one o’clock. They had some problem with the network service. I couldn’t add references to my work plan. RefWorks is an idiotic program. I couldn’t transfer a mouse to another cage since it was running and jumping like crazy. I had to ask one [...]
Things that’ve made me happy this week

*The best yoghurt in Finland – Kalinka top, by Ingman. Totally artificial. When other yoghurt brag about containing real berries, this one only contains some kind of froth. But it tastes great! *After living without mascara for two weeks due to a stubborn eye infection I now have great lashes *Other things that make you [...]
Flowers on my table, flowers in my hair

My cousin André is getting married in a couple of weeks and I think I’ll be wearing these (otherwise I’d be completely black…) Living so close to the city center has its advantages. I eat a lot more strawberries, cherries and peas than usually and my apartment looks a lot nicer too.
Some thoughts about today

Today I ignored my want for eating porridge in the mornings and went to get a tan instead of buying a microwave oven. Did not get a tan since I got out around 6pm. Did however get to spend some time with my favourite author William Gibson and read sentences like: “The Panther Modern leader, [...]
My day

We’re having a lecture series at work. About animal imaging. And I came to the conclusion that I know nothing about it. And that you soon have to know way too much about computers to be a scientist. One of the lecturers was from Gotenborg. He was a Chinese with a very obvious Swedish accent. [...]

My TV dependency has reached new levels. When I moved in to my new flat I quickly came to the conclusion that they only support digi-boxes with cable function in this building. Crap for me since my box (50 euros I had to pay for it two years ago!) only functions with antenna. With the excuse [...]
What I did on Friday
Posted in books, culture, Finland, life, product info on April 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I spent half of my Friday cursing Itella (the Finnish postal service). First of all I cursed it for the fact that it always takes two days to send anything, from a small postcard to a large package, from Vasa to Helsinki even though they kind of promise that it will only take one day. [...]
What my head looks like at the moment
Posted in life on April 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
So I recently saw a picture of what the inside of our heads really looks like and now I can fully appreciate the damage that regular flu causes. Check out the nasal cavity: And now picture it filled with snot. It’s like one third of your head! No wonder it feels like your entire brain [...]
Challenge

I challenge Anna-Karin, Johanna and Ulrika to answer these questions (and if anyone felt left out by this; feel free to answer them as well!) Three jobs I’ve had: selling ice-cream, measuring enzyme quality in animal feed, doing research on fruit flies Three places where I’ve lived: Sollentuna/Sweden, Kuusamo/Finland, Hong Kong/China Three things I like to watch [...]
A very long post on today’s youth
Posted in Asia, culture, Finland, hobbies, life on February 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I was talking to Zhao the other day about the restrictions people put upon us. When Z was in elementary school the kids were forbidden to go dancing, to play video games and so on. If someone saw you in the game-hall they could report you to a teacher and you would get reprimanded. And [...]
