I walked on the snow today :p And it's 30 degrees...

I'm off to Switzerland first thing tomorrow morning. I hope to see you all here at the beginning of July :) Enjoy the summer!

PUHKUS. JEEEEEEEEEE.

Tänane aktustepäev möödus üsna rahulikult, vihma sadas, ilm oli külm, sain hunniku roose ja piisavalt palju häid emotsioone. T lõpetamisele kahjuks ei jõudnud :(

Hommikul ootasin Jõgeva jaamas peaaegu poolteist tundi rongi. Jäi teine rohkem kui tund aega hiljaks, sest mingid remonditööd võtsid arvatust kauem aega. Loomulikult ei anna jaamas keegi teada, et rong üleüldse hilineb või kui palju rong hilineb. Tartu pool olid kõik tuled punased ja rongi oodates ei tõota punased tuled kunagi midagi head. Helistasin kell 9:50 rongiinfosse ja küsisin Tallinn-Tartu aeglase rongi kohta, tädi telefoni otsas teatas, et rong peab plaani järgi Jõgeva jaamas olema kell 9:20, ainult see kell 9:20 oli umbes pool tundi tagasi. Lõpuks talle meenus, et paluti edasi öelda, et rong võib kuni 40 minutit hilineda. Seejärel venis Tallinna poolt (jah, just sealt poolt, kust reisirong pidi tulema, aga väidetavalt läbi ei pääsenud) jaama suunas tohutupikk kaubarongimölakas ja vedas lugematut arvu Leedu kütusetsisterne ja ühte ekskavaatorit. Kaubakad värve ei tunne, nimelt tossutas rong rahumeeles Tartu poole punase tule alt läbi, kiirusega umbes 10 km/h, kaugelt jäi selline tunne, et ta parkis ennast kuhugi raudsilla kanti ja plokkis seega tee täiesti ära. Varsti pärast elevust tekitanud kaubarongi möödumist muutus üks foor Tartu pool roheliseks, roheline annab alati lootust, tee on vaba, äkki tuleb nüüd reisirong ja äkki teeb ta seda lähitundidel. Ja tõesti, umbes 20 minuti pärast see rong tõesti tuligi, tsuhhat-tsuhhat-tsuhhat. Sõitsime peaaegu Kärknani, siis jäi eelmainitud kaubarong tee peale ette ja reisikas pidi loomulikult hoo maha võtma, sest tundus, et kaubakas polnud vahepeal eriti kiirust lisanud. Õnneks lasti Kärkna jaamas reisirong mööda ja saimegi nagu vopsti Tartusse, kõigest kaks tundi võttis kokku aega ja 12 klassi lõpubanketile ma kogu selle ootamise tulemusena loomulikult ei jõudnud, jõudsin napilt alles aktuse alguseks kohale. Ühesõnaga, ma ei väsi kordamast - seal, kus lõpeb mõistus, algab Eesti raudtee. Unustasin vist mainida, et kõik see aeg sadas lakkamatult ja sooja oli 12 kraadi. Eile algas ju suvi!

Käisin ükspäev raamatukogu kohvikus söömas, see oli vist reedel, ja seal oli Hannes Kaljujärv. Haaa, celebrity spotting! Kui päris aus olla ei olnud ma sellest pooltki nii elevil kui sellest, et me käisime eile Laiusel ja ma avastain, et seal on Kolme paksu tänav. Jah, päriselt. Silt näitab. Edasi tuleb Pargi tänav ja Keldri tänav ja veel mõned tänavad ja siis on Kolme paksu tänav. Et siis kus sa elad? Oh, Kolme paksu kolm. :D Veel käisime Laiuse aiandis ja ma hankisin endale ühe toreda puhma, mille akna alla istutasin. Puhma nimi läks mul muidugi meelest, kes neid pisiasju ikka meeles jõuab pidada :p Täna nägin ma oma vannitoas ja esikus VÄGA PALJU tolmu. TO-HU-TULT tolmu. Ja nüüd on mu vannitoa seinad igasuguste asjameeste poolt nii läbi freesitud ja auguliseks puuritud, et oleks viimane aeg kogu seda tohuvapohu likvideerima hakata. Jumal tänatud, et ma neljapäeval minema sõidan, siis ma ei näe vähemalt, kuidas see käib, tagasi tulles ootab lihtsalt üllatus. Täna hommikul käisime näiteks tüübleid ostmas ja juhet ja põrandakütet ja lampe ja pirne ja pistikuid, pinnapealseid ja mittepinnapealseid, kattega ja ilma ja veel umbes sada asja, mida ma hetkel ei mäleta. Lisaks sain aru, et õnneks maksab mu valamule sobiv segisti umbes miljoni ehk rohkem kui dušilift, dušiotsik ja termosegisti kokku, nii et olen ikka toredaid otsuseid siin vastu võtnud küll.

I heart Jamie Scott :) Presenting Graffiti6, not the 80s this time

I officially chickened out... At least Ajak could use my registration payment.

It's two a.m. and I can't sleep. Which shouldn't be a surprise since I slept for two hours today from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. And this means I won't sleep at night, I've tried that before, last Friday for instance. But I just couldn't resist the temptation (read: couldn't keep my eyes open). And Ossik sort of crawled under my blanket and started purring, which was really cute. I hope Milli's ok.

I know that I have to survive the redecorating, but I honestly want to go home. It was supposed to happen today, but obviously didn't. Maybe tomorrow if the plumber comes to fit my toilet seat, but it's a big if. Hope dies last.

Someone's walking past the window along Tiigi Street, making a lot of noise. Or maybe it comes from the dorm across the street. I can't tell and standing up and going to the window would be way too much to ask. Now the noise stopped. I guess that someone either closed the window or chose another street to walk at night. Both are fine with me.

Twitter is over capacity.

I'm tired and have to be at the dentist's in 7 hours.

Put up your hand if you DON'T recognise the chorus!

Amadeus! Amadeus!

I've got nothing else to say besides TODAY IT WAS THE LAST EXAM, THIS SCHOOLYEAR IS OVER!!!!!

Katrina and the Waves "Walking On Sunshine" (1985)

Katrina and the Waves were a pop rock band formed in the 1980s, best known for their hit "Walking on Sunshine" and their 1997 Eurovision Song Contest victory with the song "Love Shine a Light". (Source: Wikipedia)

For some reason I do remember their Eurovision song. Could it have been the same year when one of my favourite Eurovision songs ever, Alltid Sommer, was on as well? No it isn't the same year (I just had a valid reason to listen to Lars Fredriksen once again), Alltid Sommer was a year later.

As for Walking on Sunshine, then I just needed something sunny into this weather that, at best, reminds me of September if not early October with unusually green leaves. Scarf is a must. Especially since I still have an occasionally sore throat. Precisely "occasionally" because on some days it's sore and on others it's not but since it's been a month, I actually don't notice the sore throat any more. Plus, the dentist hurt and I have to go again first thing Friday morning. I'm whining, I know, but I'm sick and tired of this year and being so bloody scared and the incredible mess in my flat that I can do nothing about right now and the fact that I have to ask for help and depend on somebody else and feel guilty slash bad about it. Etc etc etc. So, Walking on Sunshine it is :)

New Kinds on the Block "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" (1988)

New Kids on the Block is an American boy band assembled in 1984 that enjoyed success in the late 1980s and early 1990s and went on to sell 80 million records worldwide. After having disbanded in 1994, several attempts were made to get the group back together, all of them unsuccessful. After secretly reuniting in 2007 and recording a new CD, the group released that new album and embarked on a concert tour in 2008. The album, entitled The Block was released on September 2, 2008. (Source: Wikipedia)

My first penfriend was obsessed with NKOTB :p Can't say I know anything about their new stuff. And I don't think I want to.

Brainmelt continues (and is contagious)

Ajak räägib oma Bulgaaria reisist:

"Igal pool oli elav muusika, kõige suurem grupp, mida meie nägime oli kuus inimest - 2 naist ja 3 meest ja laulsid neljahäälselt."

Men At work "Down Under" (1981)

Men at Work are an Australian rock band who achieved international success in the 1980s. They are the only Australian artists to have a #1 album and single simultaneously in the US (with Business as Usual and "Down Under" respectively). At the same time, they also had a simultaneous #1 single and album in the UK. The group won the 1983 Grammy Award for Best New Artist and sold over 30 million albums worldwide. (Source: Wikipedia)

I've never actually thought that they say "down under" :D It doesn't sound like it very much, does it?

The lyrics FunFunFun, let's put the stress where we like it.

Travelling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

Buying bread from a man in brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, do you speak-a my language?
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

Lying in a den in bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?
And he said,

Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

I adore the beginning and the first two lines, it's absolutely brilliant and very summery for some reason (forever that reason might be, it's definitely NOT the meaning). And the video - the part starting from 1:37, just lol. Welcome to randomness.

Simon Cowell Time also known as SCT

OMG OMG :D I've just realised that the abbreviation "aka" comes from "also known as". ROFL. I'm good.

Major brainmelt
on the way.

Teadupärast oli L täna kodus kõva häälega teatanud "Pane uks kinni, hiired tulevad sisse!"

Kõnealused hiired osutusid tegelikkuses sääskedeks.

Dialoogid

Küsija: Mis su kassi nimi oligi?
Mina, ilma mõtlemata: Nelli. Või see tähendab Milli. Mitte Nelli.

Oma kassi nime võiks ikka teada, ka ilma mõtlemata. Hetkel arvab see Milli, et uus dušialus keset elutuba on seal selleks, et ta saaks sinna sisse ronida ja seal ennast hästi tunda.

T: Miks sa oma orhideed ümber ei istuta?
Mina, lausa hüüatades: See ju sulab ära!

Mõte oli selles, et õitsvat orhideed ei tohi ümber istutada.

Because of the lyrics

No hakkab juba looma - paar päevakest veel ja tunnid saavad kohe täitsa läbi. See on täiesti kujuteldamatu, kui väsinud, ma sellest aastast olen. Homme sisustab mu päeva Vembutembumaa (kas see on üks sõna? ei viitsi guugeldada, sry), ülehomme saab olema muidu üks igavesti segane päev, kus mu kahe 20minutise tunni vahel on kahetunnine auk, siis on veel umbes poolteist tundi auku, siis ma lähen külastan oma perearsti, sest ei ole kaugeltki normaalne, et mu kurk on kaks nädalat järjest valus olnud, siis on veel kaks tundi auku ja siis on õppenõukogu. Kui kõik need asjad saaks järjest ära teha, saaks ühe normaalse päevakese, aga nüüd näeb see välja nagu õhksilmustest heegelpits. Reede hommikupoolikul kavatsen ma palju kasulikke asju ära teha. Vähemalt plaan on hea.

Ma pean poole tunni pärast raamatukogus olema ja selleks tuleks ennast diivanilt püsti ajada, natuke ringi tuuseldada ja uksest väljuda. Ma olen täna juba ühe kolmetunnise matka maha pidanud mööda Tartu linna, nii et ma ei saa just väita, et ma väga tahaks sinna raamatukogu poole astuma hakata.

Aitab nüüd virisemisest.

Craziest moment of Eurovision 2010 - so random

Haaa, I watched the season finale of Castle and Skinner was there! I mean, not Skinner but Mitch Pileggi, obviously. But the casting was fabulous, since the episode dealt with a game gone bad, before the viewers knew it was a game, Skinner, sry Hans, was supposed to be some kind of secret agent/government official or who knows what and of course, every person who has seen even a little bit of The X-Files would automatically think Skinner was an agent and not an ordinary person from the street with enough money to buy himself a costly spy-game entertainment. I bet you understood what I meant :p Clear as crystal. Anyway, it was Skinnneerr! Muuuuch older, but still the same. Otherwise, Castle rocked. Now all three of my TV series are on a long hiatus, so let the summer commence! I'm not even sure which season finale I liked the most - SPN was a bit painful, beautiful but painful (ok, who am I kidding, a BIT painful?!?) and Castle was somewhat predictable, though the murder and the investigation were extremely cool. And it was really cool that Beckett dumped the guy, whatever his name was. Out of the three I might have to choose The Vampire Diaries (plus the show has/had Julian Sark from Alias aka David Anders). Now that Damon can't quite decide whether he's good or bad and starts to be a tad vulnerable, things might get interesting. Besides, it's the most extremely impossible to hate a villain like him. But the ending sure was unexpected...

Some of Salvatore goodness :)

I'm just so incredibly impossibly tired right now. And I can't even get some sleep right now. I need a vocation and I'm tired of decisions, tired even before I've made a single one. And my throats hurts like a bitch, yes hurts, it's not sore any more. It was sore on Friday and has been getting worse ever since. It's just one of those days that nothing goes the way you want. Thank god vh1 is playing Mika right now.

Tulin just Liblikapüüdja 20. sünnipäevalt. Mitte et ma ise sellega kuidagi seotud oleksin olnud, aga kuna T on, siis ma pean ikka oma fänniklubi kohuseid täitma. Vaatasin veel korra tükki Imelise nimeline ja oli ikka endiselt täitsa täitsa hea. Lisaks veel Betti Alveri luulepäevade kava ning kõige noorema ja keskmise trupi etendusi. Oli hästi armas, et kohale olid tulnud ka Hele ja Alo Kõrve ja Tiit Sukk. Hele laulis kaks laulu ja mängis klaverit. Ma võiks üsna lõputulu kuulata, kuidas ta laulab (mina, kes ma ei kuula peaaegu mitte kunagi naislauljaid). Hele, Alo ja Roosi (kes on muideks superübernunnu) kolmikpöördumine Lianne ja Liblikapüüdjate poole oli selline muhedalt mõnus ja hästi vabas vormis, kusjuures Roosi rääkis kohati kõige kõvemini. Roosi jutust kahjuks eriti midagi aru saada ei olnud, aga ega Alo kah selgusega ei hiilanud, lõpuks suutis ta oma kõnesse kaasata ka saali teises otsas istunud Tiit Suka. See oli täitsa naljakas. Kui kõik kõned kah kuulatud said, sai sünnipäevale kohaselt torti ja kohvi ka :)

Millile ilusat nimepäeva :)
