”Hello!” ”It’s so nice that you could come and help me!” //
”Guests will be here in a hour. Would you slice these fruits while I clean up the living room?” ”Okay.” //
”Aaargh! The window is full of little dogs’ muzzle prints!” //
”Do I have the time to wash that window? Yes, I do, if I do it quickly.” //
”I’ll use ten minutes to do this and if it’s not enough then never mind.” //
”Hmm, ten minutes and if it is not enough then never mind… Sounds like a good principle.” //
”Can I use it for my master’s thesis?” ”LOL
!”

NOT LIKE THIS

In the Zoological Museum of Turku: ”Oh, cool, look Mum!” //
”Oh, yuck! Those are so gross, aren’t they?” //
”You just can’t like such disgusting creatures!” //
”What is wrong with you?! There isn’t ANY animal that is disgusting, repellent or somehow wrong! Every living creature is AMAZING and WONDERFUL as it is!” //
”And at least don’t ruin your child’s interest in animals with your own alienated-from-nature attitude!” //
”Well okay, I didn’t get violent or even said anything but I was thinking this way. And I still do. So there.”

Reissu Turkuun

A TRIP TO TURKU

Piti mennä Turkuun kurssille opettelemaan karttaohjelman käyttöä. Ei ollut erityisemmin jännää. Mutta mikä oli kivaa oli se, että serkkuni, hänen vaimonsa, heidän kolmevuotias poikansa, kaksi kissaansa ja herra Pahvi-Spock ystävällisesti majoittivat minut kurssin ajaksi.
I had to go to Turku to learn how to use a mapping program. It wasn’t very exiting. But what was nice was that my cousin, his wife, their three-year-old son, two cats and Mr Cardboard-Spock kindly accommodated me during that course.

”Oh, Gattus! What do you want?” //

”Eh… Little one, where are you taking Mr Spock?” ”To the front door!” //
”Erm… Why?” ”So that Mum sees him right away when she comes home!” //
”Kati, come here!” ”All right…” //
”Look!” //
”Hahaha… very good… hihihi… job… hehe…” ”Hihihi… well done… hehehe… Little one…”

”Yes, we are… Okay. By the way, Spock is by the front door. Yes. Just wanted to let you know.” //
”I’ll take Little one to take a bath. My wife forgot her keys so would you open the door when she comes?” ”Sure!” //
”Welcome to your home.” //
”Is this decent, Mr Spock? Make our guest open the door even when your standing right next to it?” //
”On your century doors open automatically but try to remember that in here they don’t!”

”Hello, wizard?” ”Hello, wizard here.” ”We have a problem.” //
”What kind of a problem?” ”We need to get to the other side but there are chulches in the way.” //
”You mean churches?” ”Yes, and they’re on our way!” //
”Couldn’t we just, like… walk around them?” ”Hmm… Yes!”

DIAGNOSIS

”I so wouldn’t want to work on my bachelor’s thesis. I’m probably suffering from NANW.” ”What’s that?” //
”Not Able, Not Willing.” ”Yeah, I think I have that, too.”

Muutoksia blogissa

CHANGES IN THE BLOG

Huomasin, että minulla oli esittelytekstinä ikivanhoja sarjiksia, joiden tiedot ovat lakanneet olemasta relevantteja jo vuosi sitten. Siispä tein uudet. Loytyvät yläpalkista klikkaamalla tuota ”Mitä kummaa?” -napiskaa.
Toinen uusi sivu ylhäällä on ”Scotland Edition”, jonne olen kerännyt kaikki Skotlannin-vaihtoni aikaiset sarjakuvat kronologiseen järjestykseen. Alunperinhän tämän blogin piti kertoa seikkailuistani Skotlannissa, mutta lopulta ”Scotland Edition” taitaa kertoa lähinnä ruoan parantavasta voimasta… Siltä se ainakin näyttää näin jälkikäteen lukien. Lukiessasi vot myös ihmetellä otsatukkani evoluutiota kuukausien kuluessa…

I noticed that my introductory comics were really old and hadn’t been relevant for a year. So I made new ones. You can find them by clicking that ”Mitä kummaa?” part up there.
Another new page up there is called ”Scotland Edition”. I’ve collected all the comics from my time in Scotland in there, they’re in chronological order and now they all have English translations! Originally this blog was supposed to tell about my adventures in Scotland but the it turned out to be about the healing power of food… That’s what it looks like now that I read those comics. While reading, you can also follow the evolution of my bangs…

THE EMPIRE STRIKES

Eli kaksi vitsiä yhden hinnalla!
Two jokes for the price of one!
Vatsaisku_n
The first one probably requires some explaining if you don’t speak Finnish. So, ”The Empire Strikes Back” is known in Finland as ”Imperiumin vastaisku” which translates to ”Empire’s Counter Strike”. But if you switch the T and the S (so that it becomes ”Imperiumin vatsaisku”) it means ”Empire’s Stomach Strike”. I first came up with the Finnish version and tried to translate it, which led to the English version…
