This. Is. SPARTA!

The neighbourhood the bosses live and work in (and me as well, unfortunately...) is known as rich. Here, the houses do not have numbers. They have names. And today one of them caused me great amusement as I walked to the village in the morning. You see, during my very-and-altogether-too-short holiday in Finland N and I watched 300, and the joke version of it, Meet the Spartans. Unfortunately we watched the joke one first and therefore spent the actual movie laughing as well. And what made me laugh this morning was realizing (and remembering) that one of the houses along the road is called Sparta. ^^

...and that's been pretty much the high point of my first week here. It's terribly hot, no wind, flies everywhere, too much work to do, not enough free time etc. etc. etc......... you get the idea. Also, I do not want to be here.

My boss is a photographer, among other things. He hasn't taken any picture of me before, but yesterday, as I was waving a scythe at some nettles and hay, sweaty all over, wearing my most torn pants ever, a dirty shirt and covered in dirt, he suddenly tells me to turn around and takes a photo. Then makes fun of me because I have fat cheeks.

=(

He also finds it greatly amusing to poke at my stomach and watch it wibble.

What else... I really dislike Garfield. Davis has admitted that he created the comic just to make money, and has kept on doing it only for money. Trust me, Jim, IT SHOWS. But this:

THIS is great. Heh.

Should get to writing Sun-kissed eventually... as if I'm gonna get enough time off from work to do any proper writing. But eh, three more weeks, tops. I HAVE to be back in Finland by the 26th of August, and my intention is to go home well before that. Stop in London for a few days on the way, heh. Now, if we only could get STARTED with the bloody urgent work I came here to do... but it's not our end that's causing the hold-up. So nothing we can do but wait. And work on other shit. Stuff. Shit. Which ever. Whatever.

Hee. Sparta.
