No idea. Nothing even remotely remarkable apparently since I've forsaken this blog for such a long time. Well, time to rave about something I found out today: the second X-Files movie is finally coming to the theatres (not according to the schedule of 25th of July, though)! YAY! Happyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappy!!! See the trailer at

My mother, brother and aunt visited me today and I concluded the following: nineteen days without having an actual face-to-face conversation with anyone is, indeed, a longish time to me. I really, truly, bluely enjoyed having them around for the four hours we spent together first at my flat and then roaming the town's malls. And now I have an ironing board so I can make the tie (more of the project part of which the tie is later...I know, the suspense is killing you... ;D). But anyway, I don't recall being so relaxed around my relatives before. I guess I do spend too much time alone.
Actually, I tried to come out to my mother today. We went to my sister's place to drop some of her things there (she's working in our home town and is staying with my mother and brother's place for the summer). As we were leaving -for some incomprehensible reason- I blurted out that I had once hid there to get someone off my back (see the entry on 9th of February 2008). No one seemed to pay any attention to that small sentence so I thought -as I was already beginning to regret saying it in the first place- I got off the hook. But no. On our way to my brother's car (I really don't get what's the thing about cars) she asked if the person I was hiding from was a male one. I said yes, and complained that he just didn't get the word 'no' or the phrase of 'just friends'. So that was my more or less planned attempt to come out. However, my mother either choce to stay ignorant (don't ask, don't tell) or really just didn't get it. So, as far as she's concerned, I'm probably still her probably straight daughter.
Lovely.

Reading now:
'Koko kosmokomiikka' (I love the allitteration!), org. 'Tutte le cosmicomiche' by Italo Calvino & 'The Poisonwood Bible' by Barbara Kingsolver. It rained the whole bloody day so I didn't get to read much today. Well, perhaps tomorrow. Have to ask Foreca... or the snails. Yup, more rain tomorrow. Damn it. I love reading outside (as can be seen from my half-tanned hands =D). Well, no can do, I'm just going to have to wait till Wednesday.
