Hell And High Water

After closing up September I proceeded to start October with some very long days in the office. Handed in the first draft on one my exams for this semester, a discussion around how philosophers in the 1800's radically broke with their predecessors. Boring material, but this weekend I've been working on another one where I get to indulge myself in thoughts about individuals and society. The picture above is from Nummi, of a random church I saw from the main road to Turku. It was quite lovely.

Watched Wall-E and loved it. Next week brings Recipes for Disaster, an English/Finnish documentary about a family who tried to live a year without oil without giving up their lifestyle. Am looking forward to it :)

Thursday I went out socialising with the LCV team and my departing colleague, and was a tad tired on Friday. Friday I went out for pool, dinner and subsequent partying with Sales and Finance, and Saturday morning I felt like I'd been hit by a train. Then proceeded to celebrate Veera's birthday, and I swear to God I'm not going partying again any time soon :)

Have listened a bit to Starsailor this weekend. Definitely recommendable. Will now go on to start from A in my collection and listen to everything but the albums I love, meaning I have no choice but listen through all the hundreds of records I've bought on good faith or because I just like one of the songs. Hopefully I'll find a bunch of good stuff!
