It's spriiiing! There are already small yellow and purple flowers blooming at the front of this concrete monster house! And it's getting warmer too. I can still see piles of snow out there but they will melt away soon. I am full of will to do something. Anything! Raaaa!

Yes I know, some of you southy people are already moving your lawns. But north is a bit different. We have 3 months of summer and 9 month of winter. Or so it used to be. This global warming thing has given us 3 months of summer and 9 months of cold, wet and snowy autumn. It sucks. We didn't use to have guess if it's going to be a white christmas. Of course christmas was white. Now we stock up on fake snow in aerosol cans, just in case...

Someone might (or might not) remember this journal from August 2007 [link] Just so you know, I finally started

This week I've been listening to Ayreon non-stop. I finally got the "it" from Into the Electric Castle. Took a while though. But now I get "it" Now I'm getting inside 01011001. gave me the (autographed!!) CD last year, but spring is the time for new music (and pathetic excuses) so it patiently waited on the shelf for me to grab it and give it a go. This one's by far the easiest album to get inside to. Might be because the sounds are more aggressive, rock, classical and things like that, more like what I'm used to listen. Previous albums have been quite folksy to my ear. I now have the track The Fifth Extinction on loop. And loud. I love it!
