Midsummer, a midterm report

Thus far it’s been a pretty conventional urban midsummer:

  • Summer Party - good music for a change (Lauri Tähkä), beer chilled and official nachspiel locations hopelessly crowded.
  • Pre-eve barbecue - excellent steaks once again, conversation that stumbled between subjects at lightspeed, and the first drink ever named after me.
  • Getting rained on - not seriously, and only a couple of times.
  • Neo-punk is back once again - Offspring’s new album is not bad at all, and Green DayFoxboro Hottubs’ debut definitely mandates further investigation.
  • Watching only the last three minutes of the extra time Croatia-Turkey was the most economical way for football spectatorship ever - two goals and cosmic amounts of drama.
  • And speaking of football, ended up actually sharing the top position at the office EURO 2008 pool, but as the organizer was not awarded for the skills.
