Mars Ultor: August 2008

The God of Random. Saturday, August 30, 2008. Auld lang syne, Mr. von Schlegel's turn of phrase! Down to business it is. As I mentioned in my previous post, in Munich I bought an old German translation of Shakespeare's. Part 1 AND 2 (I noticed later that both were included). I was annoyed to find no mention of when the book was printed. Now I'm not very well-versed in these technicalities of poetic composition, but is the iambic pentametre with male or female cadence really so strikingly different from t...

The God of Random. Wednesday, August 19, 2009. What's happening in Elina's world. I visited Amoena last week, as she already announced in her blog. I wanted to finally meet her new boyfriend J.R. (not so new anymore) and her new puppy, Papu. I can still see her soulful eyes and ears in my mind. But I'll have to be careful when choosing my own, as Amoena demonstrated to me that not all miniature pinschers are as pretty as Papu. Yesterday I finally met Deniselle. It's a fun story how I "found" her. Tv you'...

Mars Ultor: October 2008

The God of Random. Wednesday, October 22, 2008. I'm incredibly tired right now. Incredibly, because I slept quite well. The first thing in the morning, however, I went to the Linna library reading room and read for two hours. It was so dark in there that I could barely stay awake. I don't remember anything from what I read, except I noticed some Canadianisms in the text. Always good to have ideas for possible new research projects. So I got tagged by Amoena. 4 Let them know they have been tagged by leavi...

The God of Random. Thursday, November 6, 2008. Who is this guy called Hölkänen? And what exactly is "pöläys"? I'd like to know. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Always in a state of flux. No point in trying to pin it down. View my complete profile. Follow me on Twitter. It's about me, Amoena. Peace, Love, Empathy. Eg scooters and vacation and fall.

Mars Ultor: February 2009
http://marsultor.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
The God of Random. Friday, February 27, 2009. Limb of the matter. There's something strangely blissful about living in a limbo. I consider sentences of one sort or another. None seem of any consequence. I look outside. Snowflakes twirling down from the sky. Should matter. But doesn't. A happy smile. Laughter. Should matter. I laugh and then stop. It won't lead anywhere. Manual labour. Corporeal punishment. Satisfying. Matters as long as it steals time from me. Bless this blissful state. I always thought,...

Mars Ultor: May 2009

The God of Random. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Avril Lavigne in a bikini. I've been having an emotional hungover after last week. I never imagined I could be so happy around people. It's like I'm a completely different person now. My social phobia is almost gone. I realized how great my life could be if only I had more friends. Friends I could meet everyday, even if just to say hello and chat a little nonsense. That could keep me happy. Until then, all I can do is try to keep busy. One surefire way of m...

Mars Ultor: September 2008

The God of Random. Monday, September 29, 2008. Falstaff's nose and the babble of green fields. Othello by Mikko Viherjuuri was not quite what I expected. It reminded me of why I don't go see plays much. I don't get the overacting, especially when it isn't done all the way through. At times I was reminded of my favourite soapie, Days of Our Lives. If I want to see overacting, I'll watch that show. And they do it better yet! The director also claims that de-mythifying the play has made Othello's character ...

The God of Random. Saturday, March 28, 2009. Earrings are a girl's best friend. I wanted to show Amoena my new earrings. My mum gave them to me when she visited last week. She always tells me that my ears are the smallest in the world, so I shouldn't use heavy earrings that could stretch my tiny lobes. Whatever. Mums are like that. This is the best shot I could get with my camera phone. Well, it's really a phone with a built-in camera, not the other way around. Eg scooters and vacation and fall. I shamel...

The God of Random. Friday, November 13, 2009. Since I happen to live in an apartment with zero ventilation, I have to open the window several times a day, even when it's cold outside. I don't mind the cold, but my plants do. So they don't survive or they simply suffer. Which is why I adore my aquarium plants. I need plants to take care of, to give some green lushness to my winter days. I love seeing plants grow and prosper. Back when I still had my Rainbow cichlids. It's full of plants! Such a happy sight.
