Brain

Brain seems to have gone into hybernation. Didn't think the lack of light would affect me in any way, but apparently it has. Not that am depressed nor anything, but my sleeping pattern's become... well, patternless. Was never very solid to begin with, you'll say; totally agree, but it's never happened that i go to bed at 11:00 am and wake up at 4:00 in the afternoon, then take a nap from midnight till 1:30. That was today. Put the hours of the day in a shaker glass and then spill them on the table, and you have my waking cycle over the last three or four weeks.

Brain's very silent, too. Probably snowing a lot in there as well. Got to shake it up a little.

Got to finish packing first, though. Then take a shower. Cab's coming to pick me up in a few hours and then it's ha det bra til Tromsø. Will be in London till the 23rd, and then on to Valencia.

Ooh! Brain just woke up. Thinking of the seventh commandment. Just looked it up on wiki, and it says "Do not commit adultery". When i went through catholic catechism as a child, though, it was "Do not covet the woman of your neighbor".

Catechism classes were mixed. Boys and girls from 6th and 7th grade had them after school, every wednesday. Two years, and then you were ready to take the first communion. Must have been strange for the girls. For them the seventh commandment was not an admonition against adultery, but against lesbianism with married women. Gay boys like me, on the other hand, were scot free: it sounded like that commandment in particular had no bearing on us. Not that coveting a married man is much fun, anyways.

At any rate, the message is clear: whatever your sex and sexual orientation, adultery is a no-no. That's to say, if you're married, do not sleep with married people other than your own spouse. Any other sex partner must be unmarried.

Isn't semantics an amazing thing?

"Panic"

Just read the script of this amazing play by Mika Myllyaho. My first encounter with finnish literature (in translation, of course) and have definitely NOT been disappointed. A bit like "Women on the edge of a nervous breakdown", but with men instead of women. Would really love to seen this acted...
