PeBloWriMo Day Four: Return to Routine

jukkahooThere is a growing realisation that our new home is simply Teh Best. It feels spacious, it has nice rhythm to it, the colour scheme is just right. Of course, we're still miles away from the finished product ie. getting rid of the boxes. As of now, we still have a score of red moving crates to unpack, not to mention some 200+ bookboxes... And those booksies need a place to sit.
The livingroom shelves are mostly up, I still need to drill a ladder above the smaller sofa, but after that, the shelfspace for genre (SF, fantasy and horror) is ready. To be filled.
But this is going to take some time. Most, if not all, of February. While there is still quite a number of other things to do and attend to. Weddings, parties, meetings etc. Not to mention the checking up of one very promising venue for the 2009 Finncon. If even half of what has been said and promised at closed meetings is delivered, this could be it. Good vibrations.
And talking about conventions, Åcon 2 is coming in three months! There is still time to reserve your rooms at the Adlon, as well as your ferry tickets. Viking is the choice du année. There should be some kind of activity on that front as well soon. I'm again messing up with the programming, but unlike last year, this time we should've something prepared well at hand and most (if not all!) of the programming and program participants at least a bit before con. Perhaps. I will talk about Åcon programming during the PeBloWriMo. Remind me, if this doesn't start to happen.
Do not remind me about Patriots... snif.
Actually, funny story. We were able to pick up few channels from our digidigi last evening (today Sari got some good advice from Elisa and now our Telefunken is working as normal), of which MTV3 (not part of the Music TV conglomerate, but the largest Finnish commercial network - Mainos TeleVisio - on channel number 3) was one. They were broadcasting Superbowl, but after the weekends rather active workout, I couldn't face the workday without proper sleep (so I slept something like six hours...) and missed it for the first time this millenia. And my baby-Pats were playing!
I dreamt that Patriots lost the game, with four points. I kept pondering during the night, how on Earth could I know the end result, if I'm not watching the game, but I managed to convince myself, that Sari had seen the result somewhere. I was also somewhat sceptical about the referees call, which granted two points to NYBiggies due to "unsportmanlike conduct" by Belicheat. Which gave the NYTalls the four point gap and left Pats needing something bigger than a three-pointer.
And now I saw the decisive throw. What were Patriots thinking? Didn't see the game itself, so cannot really comment on the situation, but it looked amateurish, to say the least. Least.
Imagine my dissappointment. Somewhat confident that it had all been just a bad dream, only to find out, that while my dream wasn't reality, the loss was. Sadness.
There was a silver sports lining for today, however. Pena is gone, Pena is no more. HIFK has a new General Manager with Jukka Valtanen and a proper handler of the sports side of running the club in Tom Nybondas. Shurely Mr. Valtanen cannot do anything wrong with that kind first name? :)
And as you can probably guess, we have reconnect ourselves to the Innernets. This should mean that PeBloWriMo should be able to continue without further hiccups like yesterday. And some news regarding this glorious venture:
There is Another PeBloWriMoer!!! Why yes! And from Sweden no less. Well done, Néa!

And the the Meme du jour:
You are Twilight
Your exact moment of the day is always changing, because the sun never sets at exactly the same time. You are the romantic moments just after sunset when it's still light enough to see your way around outside, and the sky is a blend of reds, pinks, purples, and blues. At this time of day, the light has a special way of making even rundown buildings looks like works of art. You're like that, too – you're always finding beauty and magic in unexpected places. Not only will you wish on the first star you see, somewhere inside, you actually expect that wish to come true.
Yeah, right.
