Enchanting

Lately I've been listening very much to the latest Wintersun album Time I. And I'm really loving it! It's Epic, Enchanting and Excellent. It's even better than I had imagined, and I'm even having a break in listening to a few other albums right now, in favour of Time I. I really like those albums as well, but they'll still be there when I'm done for now with Time I, so I'm not worried. But here's an example of what has to stand back for a while yet.

Characters

Last weekend was all about different characters. I took part in a Vampire setting tabletop role-playing game with elements of live action role-playing (Larp). Everything started out really well, my character made a lot of new contacts and even established a position in the town he was visiting. But it seems that everything ended in mayhem. I had to leave before everything ended, but I read that other characters were killed.

And at home, I have an alter ego that I call Agnieszka. She is from Poland and takes care of our household. My wife has an alter ego called Viljar. He is from Estonia and works as a gardener and property caretaker. And last weekend we had two new additions to our staff. Our two sons have alter egos as well now. Pedro and Miguel, they are from Mexico and they basically help Viljar with the property.

Envy - but not so much

I wish I'd been in Toronto last night, at the Air Canada Centre. I've read a few comments about the show, and I'm a little envious. If you don't know what show I'm talking about, here's a little tip. But on the other hand I'm rather happy anyway that I'll be seeing the band in the UK in May. I'm not as hardcore as many other fans who would travel the world to see them. I actually *shudder* considered skipping this tour altogether. Luckily, my family is absolutely wonderful and did something I never could have dreamed of. Last May, on my birthday, they told me we'd be going to London next May as a birthday present.

Do I even have to say that I love them?

Busy

A lot going on right now. But I'm not complaining. I actually (kind of) enjoy it when I have a lot to do, for some reason I get more things done when I'm really busy. Which is really weird...

Tomorrow my parents are coming over to visit us for a few days. It's been a while, so I'm looking forward to seeing them. Today my father sent me an e-mail from, it was a link to an exhibition in the Museum of Cultures in Helsinki. The exhibition is called Fetched from afar and features one of my ancestors. (Unfortunately, these pages are available only in Finnish). He travelled the world and donated objects from his journeys to museums. I really enjoyed this exhibition and reading about him. Then again, I'm interested in genealogy and history, so it's really not that surprising.
