This is how me and my homies celebrate the first of may. Some of it is totally inexcusable behaviour from smart University students such as us. First commenting the annual church boat rowing contest.
Some live music at our backyard. Seriously, is there anything better than chilling out in the hothot April sun while eating ice cream and listening to music.
No idea of what's happening here.
The annual beer can cup. Aleksi nearly shot Folke West.
Otto and I bashed into Jarkko's appartment and started commenting on the sorry state of his room. Jarkko (the one wearing his pants) was not too amused.
Later on that night, after having a couple jugs of beer Otto felt like climbing.
I found an intoxicated young man in the stairway of our house. I could tell he was intoxicated since he was only wearing his underwear and ran out when I questioned hin, why he was ringing the doorbell of an obviously empty appartment. I shot him through a window as he tried to deceive me into believing he was actually leaving. He just ran around that yellow house and came back.
Teemu soittaa jameissa bassoo. Teemu played some bass at Tervasoihtu's jamming session. I posted this to demonstrate my high blogging ability, which led to some accusations from Teemu's part of illegally filming him. I replied that ten years ago (when we went to junior high together) he would have been psyched to have someone film him and post the material on Internet! If you're coming to Oulu for whatever reason, I highly recommend visiting one of these wednesday night sessions.
Whee. We went to 45 Special with Nina to see Stepa, whose album release tour came to Oulu. I liked the guy very much beforehand, but he left a Kimi Räikkönesque impression. Perhaps he'll gain more stage charisma cause that's what he lacks. Still, impressed.
Otto works in Garage, the teen bar capital of Oulu. He's a great bartender noneoftheless. I quess. The only person we pitied more at the bar was the groupier at the blackjack table.
Happened to walk by this accident tonight. Firemen were removing patients from a totalled taxi. Ever thought taxi drivers drive a little too fast? Didn't see what the Taxi had collided with and the local papers don't seem to write about these accidents, so no idea what had happened. Learned a couple of things about my phone as well. You got to be really close to what you're filming and it is impossible to switch off the filming light on the phone. So no filming secretly in the dark, the light goes on on the Auto-setting when it's dark and Night-setting keeps it permanently on.
Language students beat some other student in the traditional Oulu University's sledge championships. Sure it was just the first round but a historical first round without a doubt. No one can remember the last time we weren't dead fucking last. Edit: A student working on her PhD had a vague memory of Verba's team winning some time near the beginning of the century.
My sister drives two to three times a week 75 kilometers to the University in Oulu. Here we are passing Revonneva which is something like the biggesta swamp in Skandinavia+Finland=Fennoskandia.
I posted earlier some videos from the Guild of Humanities' 25th anniversary party. This one is from a day earlier, when M.A.Numminen and Pedro Hietanen played a gig at 45 Special to celebrate the same anniversary. The actual video is Numminen's speech about the importance of studying humanities. Sadly, majority of the crowd was something else altogether than humanities students.
