..this life without him. Some day it will come to that, and I can’t shake off the fear of it.

..got ~1000 photos of the bands we went to see. And still missed a couple of happenings taking place on stage.

What an awesome trip, once again. I love my girls. I love my boys. I love sitting in the car, singing out loud; sleeping in Omppu, spending a hangover day at a spa, dodging drunken people who are about to push me over with my camera. I love life on weekends like this.

Tomorrow, Tavastia. And while waiting for the live photos of Phoenix Effect and Poets of the Fall, I give you a hooded crow. What an awesome character.

Added a few tags. This needed them all!

What’s this? I suddenly feel like writing about my life! So, stuff follows.

Today is the first day of the tour. We’re gonna be driving like mad(wo)men on the Finnish highways and smaller roads just to see our boys (Poets of the Fall, Phoenix Effect) play for – how many-eth year? We used to have our own blog for the journeys and experiences, but we got lazy with it, and then totally forgot it ever was. Maybe we could do SOMETHING about that this year, huh, girls?

Some crappy cellphone photos can be found in my MMS blog. It’s kinda like watching our trips live, except the frame rate is really slow. And if I’m having too much fun (read: too much alcohol) I just might forget I even have a cellphone. Or a camera. Or fingers with which to operate those two.

Hey, awesome. Satu just called, she’s bought us 3 liters of quality red wine. This trip is going to be so LEGEN- …wait for it…. -DARY!!!

If you’ve never heard of Poets of the Fall and hence, have no idea why we’ve been spending thousands and thousands and thousands of kilometers in Satu’s Morphmobile (as we call it), flying to other countries, taking shady trains and routes and subways, spending dozens of nights in dozens of crappy hotels, then please. Feel free to experience some of that love here.

Better get packing. I’m the one who’s always late, but I’ve made a decision to be more careful with that. Too bad I made that decision five years ago and nothing’s changed. Oh well. They’re used to it.

Tah tah for now.

Sometimes I can handle more than 10 minutes outside just for fun. That only happens when I carry my camera and can actually pretend to have a reason to be outside.. in the snow.. and cold..

I’m sorry I haven’t been writing about my personal life anymore. I do realize how stupid it is to apologize for something like that, but for some silly reason I feel I have to. After sooo many years (has it been nine already?!) of blogging about everything I do, everything I feel, everything I’m going through in my life, it just feels.. rude? Why? I have no idea.

Maybe I’m finally trying to drop all the less important hobbies and concentrate on things I *really* wanna do in life. Like roam the savannah with Dave or some other nature maniac.

Yeah, I wish. I really do.

I circle around my own bellybutton (as we say in Finland) and will now present you my photo of the day, quite randomly selected.

The story behind this photo: I had to visit the zoo three times to see the leopard babies (endangered species, by the way) coming out with their mama. One night, 10 minutes before the closing… time, I FINALLY spotted them. I’m sure the mom waits for the zoo to quiet down, and even knows the time of the day when that will happen. I’ve witnessed at least horses and swans to learn the daily feeding times of the day, almost by the minute.

I also had to go through pretty violent feelings, spotted a couple of idiots banging on the glass wall & growling & yelling at the mama leopard. She got really upset and aggressive, and tried to get to them trough the glass (wish she did).

They were Russians, who apparently didn’t understand English at all.. I hope they at least got the “YOU IDIOT” part.

There. Rant rant rant & again with the love for the animals :)

..I’ll give you THESE GUYS!
