Website devoted to Helsinki fashion: Hel Looks

I like a lot of these. Maybe it's because I'm half-Finnish....

Cleaning house, which REALLY needs it, doing laundry, taking dining set from garage to New!House, so we can get INTO the garage and look at all of our Junk In Boxes, actually sorting Junk In Boxes and taking sorted stuff to Goodwill.

Also, going to a movie on Saturday night.

Pets In Uniform

Imagine: your dog, cat, or other pet in full military regalia. We make this fantasy a reality. Using the latest digital techniques, we combine a photo of your pet with the uniform and background of your choice.

What are people doing this weekend?

I'm going to sleep and read books and watch tennis and make carrot soup and maybe edit some code and try not to kill anyone, and probably wash a lot of dishes as our dishwasher died and came back wrong while I was in Atlanta.

I love the Finnish site! I look just like my Grandmother who was Finnish. Blondish hair, dark lashes and hazel eyes, Long straight nose (BIG long straight nose), full lips. Me=Finn.

Dude! Is it seriously the weekend again, already? I'm losing time again. Have any of you seen me getting abducted by aliens recently?

This weekend: do work that's been neglected this past week due to band drama and more. Meet with the builder. Watch football.

Today: finally starting up at the youth center. Turns out they've got half-day Fridays all year, so the youth center will open up after that, and then us. Which is bonus, 'cause we'll get off early and won't have to drive up the hill in the dark on alcohol night. Then probably some housework and general tidying up.

Paid lessons on Saturday morning, recording session Saturday afternoon. Ooh, and then the SO bought us season tickets to the tiny local symphony! The trombonist in our band is also in the symphony, so we're going to support him. We'd probably have gone anyway. So symphony concert Saturday evening, yay!

Sunday is probably church if I can get motivated. We're still visiting around, and we had the concert last weekend, so we've missed for a few weeks. Then rehearsal in the evening. We have a bunch of car songs to learn for the car show this month.

And then the following week will be a) the first of possible normal weeks for the year, with all our stuff scheduled in at last and b) the start of the build.

And The Bride Wore...

While preparing for her own wedding, a dear friend stumbled upon examples of strange, odd, and unflattering wedding accessories. She kept the strangest of the lot, and I am presenting them here, along with her comments.

OMG, is this the worst but-bow in the history of the universe? [link] It looks like two pillows.

Just one word: Cupholders!

Tonight is watch Doctor Who, then sleep. Tomorrow is work at the bookstore, intend to wash dishes, but sleep instead. Sunday is Fooootbaaaalllll!!! And maybe some cleaning.

Oddly enough, maximum fatality seems to occur from falls in the 7 story range.

I wonder how they know this, given that only the (temporarily) living victims are brought to the animal hospital. If the cat is no more, has ceased to be, has expired and gone to meet 'is maker, it doesn't go to the hospital. So it doesn't end up in the data.

Hee--the Onion has two cat-related pictures/captions, including one with a cat in uniform!
