Praise my Lords name. My lords, known to the world as the grand, the Holy, the creators of all non-sickness throughout day and night: Lord Dayquil and Nyquil! Praise be thine names! Man, it feels really good to breathe through my nose again.

I'm really chuffed at the moment, as I've been sorting through stuff for a couple of hours now, and I have a pile and a bag of stuff to give away. I've also been looking through my cleaning products, and downsizing them where I can. That prompted me to go on a scrubbing spree in the kitchen (which was long overdue). You can't see the hob, because that hasn't yet been scrubbed.
The best 10% are almost always emotionally & artistically more valuable than the rest 90%. Kill bad 90%, save good 10%. If you want to fine tune your photos, you have 10 times more time to do that. And after killing rubbish away, it's more comfortable to show photos to others.
Finland won the World Championship in ice hockey. (Sorry about that, my Canadian friends.) It feels good!

Ow! You cut to the quick, don't you? I'm a transplanted Canadian, and I feel a deep sense of sorrow and loss if my national team doesn't win gold in any ice hockey tournament.
My mom, born and raised in upper Michigan, always supported the Montreal Canadiens. My dad was a dyed-in-the-wool Detroit Red Wings supporter. Me? Just stayed in my room....
I don't hockey anymore, but even when I did, my favourite was Tretiak. If I am forced to root for a team, I generally root for the team that has the most Canadians on it, rather than ones that are geographically Canadian. In the NHL last year that was Las Vegas. Interesting side note, The Washington Capitals have only about 20% American players and 30% Canadian, with the rest being from assorted European countries.
I fake to be very, very sorry about Finns beating Canada 3-1 in finals. And silver medal is much better than Russians Bronze or Swedens... whatever. (Did you know that there was 18 first timers in Finlands team? And all of them were almost unknown players.) Maybe Canadas team with billion huge NHL stars gets gold next time?
Is it sad that I kinda like curling? If I was gonna compete in the Olympics, that would be the one I'd do. ETA: I'd probably be the sweeper (I have experience of this at home ), although the thrower doesn't do that much by comparison. Hmm...decisions decisions.
My Northern Irish friend was telling us about how they once watched Ireland play Wales in the Six Nations, staying in Cardiff with their brother and his Welsh girlfriend and her family. They and their brother sat on the sofa in green and the Welshmen pitched up on the other side of the room in red, and they stared daggers at each other for the whole match. I don't know who won.
One more day at work and then Thursday is off - and most people are home on Friday so it should be a rather chill day. Next week I only work two and a half day - but is paid for four!
If I was dead, I would be happy. But I would be dead. Therefore could not verify the authenticity of said argument. Sad, tragic, metaphysical shit.
Since I might be moving after the summer I decided to get rid of some of my things. Starting with things I don't want/need/use - because even if plans change they just collect dust. One of these things is an old, classic (Swedish) role-playing game from the 80's that I found at a yard sale for about 2$. It's currently at over 40$ and still two days to go! Also - less than a month until Lost gets here! That also mean my birthday is fast approaching and I can't wait for a nice date with castle, art and circus resturant
She's selling stuff on SwEbay, right? She complained that the site showed her wedding stuff as potentially being relevant to her interests, then spent the rest of the evening shopping for wedding rings. Women, am I right? She made me promise she to get her a prettier engagement ring than my ex by the way
