Do Not Enter The Tea Room

Around Christmas 1995 a friend came to visit me in my newly married, presumably happy, life in Michigan. We went to a museum where we saw an exhibit of a Japanese tea room. Outside the display was an attempt to describe this exhibit. It started with something like: “Within the tea room, one feels loneliness which penetrates into the marrow of one’s bones...” and ended with the caution “Please do not enter the tea room”. I laughed out loud. If you don’t get it, you probably should leave.

Happy Easter

Not a very spring-y Easter. It's 36° and cloudy.

I'm guessing Spring in Finland must not be too different from Spring in New England.

Vittujen kevät ja kyrpien takatalvi - Oh fucking fuck! (note: Most naturally used after the sentence initial 'Voi,...' Literally Oh Spring of cunts and cold spell of pricks). An expression of extreme disgust.

Spring better kick its fucking ass into 5th gear and get here pronto 'cuz I think it's a little ridiculous to have snow on Easter.
