I’m sitting here infront of my laptop and listening how the wind is blowing outside. A huge snowstorm should arrive at night. Fortunately tomorrow is my last day of Spring break so I don’t have to go anywhere. I’d like to point out how I’ve always wondered about the “snowdays” in USA. It snows a lot in Finland and the roads are sometimes in a terrible shape. Still, that gives us no excuse to close down the schools for the day because of the snow situation.

I’ve seen 2 episodes of Gossip Girl on tv and it seems to be such a parade of pointless beautiful people that it’s actually quite good. Nice light entertainment. I’ve read two Gossip Girl books before, but the tv serie is something very different from what I thought it would be. Kind of bother me, though, that the sweet little Cindy Lou Who from the movie Grinch - Taylor Momsen is in the show. She’s 14 but she looks like she’s 20.

I can recall a fashion program on TV where a lady said that people don’t realize that the models they see on magazines and runways, who look like grown women, are really just 14 year old young beautiful, skinny girls. Women and girls who see these images are trying to be as skinny as those little girls - which is, naturally, impossible. You can’t tell how old people are by looking at them anymore. 14 year old girls look like they’re in their twenties and grown women in their twenties and thirties try to imitate the 14 year old girls.

The world is twisted.

It’s my one week off from school! I am eagerly waiting for the new Canon camera that I ordered and the X-Japan Returns dvd set which came out February 29th.

My dad came from New York today and had bought me a Creative ZEN V Plus. I have a pink mini player from the Creative ZEN series, but that one is merely a toy compared to this 4gb, audio, video, photo & radio in your pocket -machine. There’s also a feature for audio books which you can download online. I don’t know if that is very useful for me, though. I like to read the books not hear them

Last week I bought a Radiant Glow Body Lotion with arctic cloudberry by Lumene. I don’t tan well and I have always been very sceptic about tanning lotions and solariums. My skin burns very easy and I don’t get a strong tan even during the summer months. The lotion has made my skin a lot softer and now my skin has a slight glow to it. I don’t think the lotion will be any use for someone who already has some other than chalk white basic skin tone.

Oh the joy of the internet. Everything is so easy to find. Everything you ever think of to buy is there for you to buy.

For the past week I have spent my free time chasing after a particular cd - Josh Groban’s Noël. Now, I often order cds online because it is quick and easy and simply because the type of music I listen to isn’t available in common stores.This time I decided to go cd hunting by foot (because Josh Groban is mainstream and all his CDs can be found in most finnish grocery/music stores). I’d seen the cd in an advertisement of a store and went there. They didn’t have it. I then went to another store and then another and another. Overall I’ve visited 5 stores and none of them have the cd although it should have been published in Finland some time ago. One store said that “yes, it should have arrived but seems like it hasn’t, weird”. I’m sure all the stores are waiting for the same late shipment or something and by next week I can’t avoid seeing the cd in every store and newspaper advertisement. I just got really annoyed while visiting all those stores and people knowing nothing.

Today, after an hour of hunting the cd in real life, I opened my computer, pushed a few buttons, wrote a few lines of text, and now the cd is happily on its way to my loving arms. Quick & easy.
