Long week!

It snowed today! Real snow, for most of the day. I am excited. It made it feel less cold too, even though strangely enough it is colder.

I've been very very busy this week with lots of translations, so I haven't really updated this thing in forever. Sorry about that. I'll try to remember what's happened!

Last Saturday we went for a long walk north to Casa Loma, a large castle built by a crazy rich guy back in the early 1900s. They charge you 16 dollars to enter, and a large portion of the money probably goes to heating, since the huge castle was really really warm.

Sunday was the Santa Claus parade, which was silly and commercial and we didn't bother to stick around to see Santa. We did however see tons of colourful clowns throwing candy, a large purple dog, mother goose, and a huge plastic girl online promoting yahoo. Silly. So we rented a movie (Videodrome. I don't recommend it.)

On Tuesday we went to see Anna and Tierro, Antti's sister and her husband, at his parents' house. It was great! Great to see them and great people. We had tons of fun.

Tomorrow I'll be insanely busy again, as I'll be getting my weekly translations with one less day to do them than usual, since the guy who writes them has been sick. And the weekend will be exciting! The Swedish Christmas Festival is coming up on Saturday and Sunday, so I'll be there buying mulled wine and singing Sankta Lucia. Jee! And Saturday we are also going to celebrate that we met a year ago (well a year and three days, but who wants to celebrate on a Tuesday), so we'll probably eat and drink well and reminiscence!

I'm exhausted now so I'll go to sleep. But I suppose I'm still not as exhausted as Chris, who had to get up at 430am and now has to repeat the same thing tomorrow.

Goodnight!
