For serious.

Maija was accepted into the International Development and Cooperation Master’s program at the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland. So we’ve got under 4 months to pack up our lives and get outa here. We fly out on August 28th, for 2 years or so. 18 months of the course is spent in the class room, and then 6 months onsight at the location here thesis is about, which for us is likely Tanzania!

How crazy is that?

So between now and then, I expect all of you living within visiting distance to conduct a visiting. All of those beyond visiting distance, it doesn’t really matter does it?

“It seems that the most recent DVDs released by Sony — specifically Stranger Than Fiction, Casino Royale, and The Pursuit of Happyness — have some kind of ‘feature’ that makes them unplayable on many DVD players. This doesn’t appear to be covered by the major media yet. A blogger called Sony and was told the problem is with the new copy protection scheme, and they do not intend to fix it. Sony says it’s up to the manufacturers to update their hardware.”

Had a wonderfully irreligious Easter with family and friends.
We took in just as much Freshwind as we wanted, and I had the pleasure of spinning with Ed 3 times, from Thursday to Saturday. The mighty School of Ministry FreshRock @ Freshwind tent housed us, and the talents of Missionaries in Position, Worthless Without and The Light of Con Stamos, who are the the ONLY band in the world, as far as I’m concerned.

Tonight I tasted the sweet wine that is Wii Sports. I’m going to calculate the relative value of a Nintendo, compared to say, the price of a movie and try to convince Maija that wii need one.

For now, let yourself be enraged at Rogers, as the dirtbags THROTTLE the speed of your internet connection.
