Manga:
I sense there's ending in the air. Chapter 186 of xxxHolic, which I will read soon (like, right after I've finished this sentence) begins with the same words as the very first chapter.

...
I read it. It didn't end (not yet). And it was only like thirteen pages long (then again, they rarely are longer than 18 pgs). But I'm happy, because Doumeki is as awesome as ever, and I'm a bit sad too, for Watanuki, but at least it will continue. Now off to see if Tsubasa has been updated as well.

...
Apparently it hasn't. Doesn't matter really, though, 'cause Holic is my love, not Tsubasa.

... oh and YEAH! Maru and Moro welcoming Doumeki home was pure Aww.

Music:

The first ever the Beatles album I consciously listened to was Help!.

On the ninth all the Beatles albums were re-released as remastered versions. They went straight to the charts.

Yesterday I went to Itäkeskus, my intention to buy one of those records. I ended up in Anttila, and walked out with

The Deram Anthology by David Bowie (5 euros)
Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin (8 euros)
and
Live in Pompeii DVD by Pink Floyd (10 euros)

No Beatles, no nothing.
Had I known which album I wanted to buy I believe it would have been easy for me to just take the album and buy it. In stead, I had five from which to choose from: Help!, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, The Beatles and Abbey Road. I was totally at a loss.

Then today I went in there again and bought Revolver.

Books:

I had this amazing moment of realization during our Geography lesson on Thursday. We were talking and writing about different kinds of marshlands, and one of them was called luhta. I then proceeded to realize that Litiluhta (a swamp in Middle Earth, no less) is indeed not a name invented by Tolkien, but a translation. Luhta (the type of swamp) that is wet (litisevä). Wonderful!
(Apparenly the original name is Wetwang, in case you're interested.)

Tolkien's death-day. I'm not celebrating, but I did watch the Two Towers yesterday, does that count? Later this week misters Mercury and Waters have their birthdays.
He has a pretty bath tub styled grave:


Doing stuff with people:
Movies:
We've been planning a Chinese food and movie trip for next Tuesday.
Art:
There has been talk of a photograph project.

Personal life:
I don't really know what to write. Noting much has happened. In school we've had substitute teachers for English and Finnish, which is just terrible.

Oh, it looks sunny outside. Damn.
Well whatever.


...

But I do hope it'd start raining soon.

Oh I know, most people don't like rain, especially if it's like holidaytime and [mid]summer and everything. But yeah!!! I like rain! Because when it's raining (I feel like I've said this before too, hm-hm.) you don't have to go outside.

Oh - it's all slavery!
  Not really. 

I... and I lost the thought. I'm feeling a little funny.

That sort of anxious. And for nothing.

Oh, I have nothing more to say- no, yes, I do!

So I've been reading alot again. LotR. Um, I got to the part where Sam and Frodo are entering Shelob's um, tunnel. Cave. What does lair mean? Anyway, there were some über cute parts before that, at first when Sam was cooking those rabbits and then when they were climbing the stairs and um,  read the chapters 'Of herbs and stewed rabbit' (if i remember correctly, chapter VI) and 'The stairs of Cirith Ungol'(chapter VIII) - so yeah.

You know - no you probably don't, lucky you - it's hard to read stuff like that when you've been a slasher for your whole life past, um, three-four years - My god has it been that long, that's impossible - Three years I'd say, about. That's long. Long-long, you know, for someone as youngish as me.
So the point was that it's difficult to read that sort of literature and then not to take it - ah I'm not getting anywhere here.

If you want something to prove this difficulty, I suggest you look at my posts during last year's summer holiday. It was, - oh I'll go and chaeck it. - Yeah, bless wikipedia - Sixteenth of July, I posted around nione-ten o'clock in the evening, and um, *smile*
I wrote something, If you want to know what, go and see it - um, something, something that pops into my mind every now and then when reading/watching TV/movies. 
You probably will find it, it's not a long post. And, um. 
For once my thoughts proved right. Heh. 

And that's all.
No , it's not. Yes, it is. Oh don't you try to blah me. 
Because [the sky is blue, it makes me cry] - Hey! That fits! To the wish-there-was-rain -theme!

Oh, - no, I cna't think of anything more to write. Farewell, my darlings.
