Last week I had a chance to go to the mobile library for the evening route. There were quite a lot of people (even first time visitors!) waiting for us as we travelled around with the bus. Lots of sand roads, fields, old people, children and sunshine :) The only bad thing was that there isn't a toilet in the bus, so I had to wait until I got home (so many hours!) Too bad I ran out of battery, so I couldn't take more photos of sunny scenes I saw. It's amazing, how it looks just like countryside just 4 km outside of Joensuu!

I've been reading Stephenie Meyer's Twilight -series and I'm sure I'm some kind of masochist. I somehow like the irritation the book evokes in me! Poorly written, full of christian values (woman should be at home and cook, get married at 18 and start to have babies after that, but OF COURSE no sex before marriage!!), empty characters (how sad is a girl, who rather dies than lives without his boyfriend and is all the time "not good enough for him"! Or a boy, who is so handsome and godlike, but "protects" (read = stalks) her girlfriend all the time), and forever continuous rain...The fact is though that these are the books teenage girls are so crazy about. Secretly I hope they're reading the book for the same masochistic reasons than I do :D

New (hopefully last!) book of the series (where baby conceiving finally happens and that means lots of bruises and wounds for the girl = that's the way sex should be?) is going to be published this October (in Finnish) and there are already 25 reservations for that book at the library. I don't know what to think, because it's GREAT that young people are reading, in fact it's AWESOME :D But I feel somehow annoyed, because there are so many better books to read, where girls can decide about their life themselves, where boys look normal and no-one is forced to get married or pregnant in the age of 18.

Yesterday a summer journalist (oh! memories!) came to the library to make a story about our summer quiz and "Sun and child"- exhibition. All places are surrounded by yellow suns made by local kindergarden children. This is already second time this year that my face is going to "beautify" the pages of local newspaper :D I'm not so happy to see my face (especially my rosacea cheeks :D) around, but I remember how hard it was to get people accept I needed to take a photo of them, so I don't want to be THE pain in the ass ;)

Ok, it seems like I didn't have anything special to write about, just something that came to my mind. What I've been doing briefly : ordering organic creams and shampoos from Germany (double as cheap as in Finland), also ordering colourful clothes from USA to celebrate the last days of custom in Joensuu, waving goodbye to Jinchul, AEROBIC <3, watching TV brainlessly, buying seeds (I know I'm too late to grow nice plants, but I'll try), reading a lot. I'm going to end my babbling in a photo of Urpo, my brother's cat.

See you!
