Finland's Starbucks!

Okay so I'm sitting the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport in Helsinki and I hope I'm the only person who has come here mostly to visit Starbucks. Okay, I came to pick up my Co, but usually I don't bother with that wen he goes on his little trips. I usually sit at home and cruise the net and miss him just a little bit more until he shows up! 

Anyway, I'm almost feeling like making a video because I forgot my camera and I want to record this moment in some way other than text. Well, I've never vlogged in Public and I'm not sure if I'm about to start now. Lol. The great thing about Airports is that they are supposed to have free WIFI. So I'm using it. It's awesome. I love airports. 

I'm supposed to be an environmentalist, but I love airports and flying, even though it is kinda scary, traveling is fun. But, but, but, I also love being at home, and that's something that Starbucks has come to stand for, for me. As a teen I hated Starbucks. I made fun of it, I boycotted it, I just was totally disgusted and opposed to it. Now that I live outside of the USA I love Starbucks. I have a Starbucks card and when I am in the States I drink Starbucks on almost a daily basis. I was so happy when they opened a Starbucks here at Helsinki-Vantaa airport. 

In case any of you don't know, I really like iced coffee. Unfortunately, in Finland "the land of coffee" , iced coffee is kind of unheard of. Iced Latte's are something you can find now, and I thought you couldn't find them in the USA, I still don't know. But they're gross, and they're expensive. Sometimes I go to a cafe and ask for a bigger full of ice and a coffee and then mix them together myself. But it's never as good as it is when someone else makes it. So today, I got to experience what it's like to buy a real iced coffee in Finland and have someone else actually make it, and get a flavoring that I actually like in it, and it only cost me 3,10. 

It's too bad they don't have VIA. 

Amazing Day W. Jani Toivola and Thanos!

Today was totally awesome,

I interviewed Jani Toivola with Thanos on Ovi Wild Ride, and we just had a blast. I have to say that Jani is an amazing person and blew the two of us away. We've got a lot to be happy about with a guy like that in Finland's Parliament.

It was especially exciting to meet Jani because he is such a well known and powerful POC in Finland and in case you didn't know, I am really passionate about race and totally uplifted and inspired by the things he had to say. It was a wonderful surprising to find that he is a great person. He even impressed Thanos!

I'm actually kind of embarrassed about my level of excitement about this but, Oh well! I was really nervous at the beginning of the program and then just plain excited. Insecurity kicked in big time but I just kept in going. Even though I blanked out a few times! Lol.

You can here the show, and our interview with Jani here: http://www.ovimagazine.com/radio/music01.mp3

I'm...

I'm so excited about meeting and interviewing Jani Toivola tomorrow! Can't wait.
I'm really happy about having posted another Vlogg, can't wait to do more.
I'm super happy about doing more writing, did some today.
I'm kinda bummed that I had no motivation to see Gracias perform at the World Village Festival today...
I'm Hyped because I met some SDP people today and the ball is rolling.

What are you?

New Vlogg and summer is here!

 So yeah, I did another Vlogg, finally. Today was a kind of rough. I met some people and ran around and dealt with stuff and my co is still out of town. : ( I'm not into it.

 Anyway, I did go to a party, it was nice. I was able to connect with other people that have had similar experiences to me and drink and bunch of liquor. Yay. Classes are done, I'm really happy about that. I guess summer as officially started, more on that later...

 Thanks for watching + reading,

It's Alive!

How I got my computer to work again, after spilling about half liter of water all over it: 


1) Blow dried the keyboard it (for like 2 min)
2) Took apart my computer. The parts I could remove from the backside, taking out the battery first, and of course, UNPLUGGING IT. lol. 
2
3) Waited 2 days
4) Put my computer back together. 
5) Plug in and turn computer back on. 
6) Did the happy dance, because IT WORKED! 


Another thing, I heard that if smoke comes out or it makes a crackling sound the computer is most likely done for, luckily mine did neither.

Good Lunch

Yesterday I had a great lunch. It usually doesn't happen to me that way because I am lazy and usually in a rush. This time I woke up a bit earlier than expected and had some time on my hands when the OMG I NEED TO EAT SOMETIHNG! vibe came over me as it usually does after my second cup of coffee.

Luckily for me there were some left overs in the fridge and I piled on a bunch of salad. It was awesome especially because I've been wanting to eat more salad lately (cause it's healthier than chips...and because vitamins are good for you, and your mood) I made this one with Avocado, Arugula, orange bell pepper and cucumber, with soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and olive oil drizzled on top... it was yummy. Underneath is quinoa and chicken. One of the best parts was that I got to drink club mate w. it. They just started selling it here. It's a little more expensive than in Berlin but, whatevs. I love it, and I work.

Maybe this would be a good chance to fill in the blanks about what has passed and what's to come. A lot has changed since I was more active on this blog. I created another blog almost exclusively for my comics, and occasional reposts on tumblr. I started studying cultural production, and I'm basically setting all of my ropes out into the sea. I'm doing a radio show regularly and I am really excited about a career in radio, if someone will pay me... and my Co and I are taking some relationship steps forward which I will write more about later. How we got here was huge!

I'm really happy to be blogging again, and will try and include content about  food and hair which are some of my newest points of interest. A lot of pictures and stories to come.

Thanks for reading!

Vlogg #1

I'm gonna try and see what it's like to try and record a Vlogg. I have tons of things to do around the house but this is a great way to procrastinate.  Lol.

Official Vappu Hangover

Back Again...

Work, work, work, work. I've got so many things to do and realized this is one of the first things that comes up when one Googles my name. Might as well update and keep it up huh.

But, I haven't got much to say. Doing radio and just cutting down on social activities/expenses. Co's watching King of Thrones. Very dramatic.

More later...
