Horsin' around

Glxblt. Can hardly think straight anymore, and I have to actively try and focus my eyes to the screen, or else I can't make out the characters. I've had the most wonderful weekend, during which I have done things I don't want to even talk about, things that I would like to sing about, things that have made me glad, and things that have made me sad. I have found new things, rediscovered some old things, forgotten about some others, been reminded of some things, and reminded others of some others.

Just a few highlights:

• Saturday morning breakfast
• The discovery that yeah, blue can go with red if they are both striking enough and everybody else is wearing a tuxedo =)
• You can't mix Black Cat with 4 other alcohol drinks and expect it to be good
• Riding is good fun, but you need to have narrower boots than hiking boots, and tie down your trouser legs somehow
• You can squeeze four games of Amplitude in the 20 minutes before the bus leaves, if you eat a lighter breakfast =)
• DVD players are really cheap these days
• Taxi trip from the west side of Vantaa to the east side costs 30€ (ouch)
  • Corollary, you can actually get a taxi by chasing one down, like a dog.
• Avoiding branches can sometimes be difficult on horseback
• Note to self: don't get daughters, only sons. Much, much cheaper.
• The Two Towers, extended edition is a far better movie than the movie version; the pace is calmer.
• Ground loops can occur within home environment, too.
• My sight has not grown any worse during the past 8 years. Yay!
