Whoever said that the music they play in supermarkets (and I guess would qualify for the term elevator music) was bad was either a music idiot or never shopped at my favorite supermarkets. Because the music they play there is better than a lot of the stuff they play on the radio. Alan Parson’s ‚Eye […]

Because I am serious on working on my Bree-ness I did two things: 1. I established The Perfect Lunch Break à la Bree. 2. I bought a little cook (or rather bake) book with recipes for muffins, brownies, cakes, bagels and other yummy things of the like. Elucidation on 1: Until recently I had The […]

I’m feeling strange. I’m both very tired and something very close to hyperactive. Was it the coffee I had for The Perfect Lunch-Break (read more about that soon) or something in the bottle of peach flavored iced tea I emptied today? Something else?

My last night’s dream had a voice-over. How screwed up is that? And it was snarky. Like at TWOP. I need to face more of this thing called reality other people keep telling me about. Where can I meet it?

I just found a finnish bookshop that actually offers buying and shipping information in English, so I fear I might do something really really stupid come next month. Maybe I’ll order Harry Potter in Finnish or one of the Moomin books. Not that I know enough Finnish to be able to understand one whole sentence, […]

Things I Could Always Buy: 1. Tablecloths 2. Bedclothes
