5 firstevers of this fall.

1. peeling crayfish at a traditional fall party. i did not quite succeed; the vegetarian in me had a hard time dealing with an individual with a malformed limb and i could not continue, but i did try. i ate the poor btard, though.

2. playing with a playstation. (i know! but yes, it is possible i never did it before...) later on i tried wii fit, and realized i have a natural talent for ski jumping. if you want to have a go, visit the miltton and their hillstreet 8 entertainment studio on a saturday.

3. adjusting a flash code to my likings. (i'm one of those fake nerds who are nerdy mostly in the socially awkward sense.)

4. eating produce i grew myself, such as onions and beets. i do not have a green thumb, nor am i really all that into gardening. but i did enjoy the sporadic sticking of fingers in the dirt and pulling of weeds. and the stuff tasted pretty good.

5. voting strategically. since people tend to harden their political views in the company of like-minded people, i believe it is extremely important to retain variety in every decision-making body. i voted extreme, just to help idealists create a certain dissonance in the helsinki city council. that should keep them in check...
