14:40 — Yesterday I moved some more furniture and my mattress to the game room and then slept there. Slept for a long time, too. Slept so much that I'm still tired, yay. I also went to the attic to pull the network cable to the game room, but I couldn't find the hole above the router that easily. It was so hellishly hot in the attic plus I didn't have a breathing mask so I was breathing in the very unhealthy dust there. I gave up then and my throat itched and hurt for some hours afterwards. Then I forgot to buy breathing masks from the store.

00:36 — I've been doing a lot of work. Moving furniture and things around and that sort of thing. I got all my comics safely moved already, rewallpapered a portion of the wall (I just don't like to look at snot on the wall every time I happen to lift my eyes) and now I'm ready to take in my drawing desk.

13:06 — Omfg. I waited with horror for the day I'd see Wraeththu stuff in y!Gallery, and today it happened. Erh. I just don't think it belongs there. Yet, I CAN see how it would belong there. I'm easily confused.
Related to that, I finished reading the second book yesterday, but I think there was too long a time between reading the middle and the end. I ended up a little confused.

16:44 — I may have found out what's wrong with my eyes. Yesterday's featured article on Wikipedia was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratoconus ... keratoconus! The symptoms match almost perfectly, though my multiple images are usually a bit more uniform and I usually don't see them if I watch an object closer than half a meter. Also my eyes don't seem conical... Either way, if this stuff gets worse, I'll bring that up.

21:10 — I got my name changed! They did first try to whack me in the head with gender but they bought my explanation. I'm feeling bouncy.

And... Ambiguous contest!

01:01 — I've been moving furniture around so that I could one day move into the game room. Living room is almost ready and all my comics are on the floor.
In other news, this is absolutely the best thing I've read in a long while. It tickles my brain just in the right places and makes me squee! http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/glossary/grandfather_paradox.html

23:20 — I've been doing a lot of painting and stuff. There are also plans for me moving to our game room. The reasoning goes like this: mom won't have a place to do her ob in, so she's going to have to telecommute. There's no extra room in our house, and she wants to make a working room out of [Levoton]'s room. Key needs more space, so she should move into my room, and I could make do with the game room (though stuff needs to be moved). Yay. Also, [Gastogh]'s graduation "party" is ...tomorrow, heck. I gotta wake up early to take Key to her school-ending party. There are slightly drunken people in the house playing Scrabble. Well, our family and my parents' friends are reasonable so it doesn't bother me, but I'd like to sleep and stuff.
I got a five (highest grade) out of engineer math course 5! Of course this means that my physics grade is just doomed. I'm afraid to keep checking the school study info database site. >_>
I've been RPing like a nut (as much as I can at least, playing Pokémon and recoding my site. It's amazing how much more you actually understand of any programming language, especially PHP, after actually learning to program (with C++). So yeah, have a look at the glorious PHP (yeah, some things do need fixing, don't expect anything to work): http://www.mutantgalaxy.com/brandnewdesign/

Check out the contest before I come after you!

Ambiguous contest!

23:09 — When I was painting the porch, paint (surprisingly) got sprinkled over my clothes. Well, paint-sprinkled clothes aren't what people call clean, so I can't really wear those clothes anymore. All the more reason to go buy some clothes. Well, I went and met a friend of mine (holy shit, Vel has a social life, no fucking way!) and bought needed clothes and better shoes. We also found a great store called Leather Heaven that sells the kind of T-shirts I wear. Heaven indeed. :D
I had also parked my car in the usual place in front of the underground sports hall. Only this time I actually knew that it's not a completely free spot. Well, I forgot to put in my parking disc (a thing that shows when you arrived, you're allowed to be there for 4 hours) and remembered that only after I'd walked so far that I couldn't have bothered to walk back. Well, I angsted about it and when I finally came back, there was no fine. Yay. It's weird how I've parked there for years erroneously and never gotten fined. Then again, I misparked about 300 meters from that place ONCE and did get fined that time. So yeah, great.
Well, I was pretty dead after that. I mushed my brain by oogling at Elftown and watching [Gastogh] play Super Smash.
[Levoton] was also nuts today.

00:05 — I caught a damn annoyingly rare pokemon. Its name is Feebas, an it appears on a certain route only in certain few squares out of about 400 water squares. It was a damn pain I tell you. But it paid off, because I found one damned square! And I caught a ton of those, took the best one and made it evolve to the next stage! Which is, by the way, a pretty awesome pokemon. In addition to that, I made two pokemon produce an egg and now I have a "rare" baby pokemon. I also made this other pokemon evolve. When it evolved, I had to have an empty spot in my pokemon party, because apparently the shell of the previous pokemon became a new pokemon. It only has 1 HP and will never have more. :D

21:13 — So yeah, I've done my exams, no results yet as far as I know. I washed and painted our backyard porch, but it'll need more revision. I've been playing a whole damn lot of pokemon and not drawing or writing. >_> Oh well, it's damn fun to get them level up. :D

10:29 — My last lecture was on last Thursday. I'm freeeee! Well, almost, since I have the exams of those courses I took on the 18th and 20th. Yeah, math exam on a Saturday, how nice. Yesterday we cleaned up the game room. It was filthy. Now it's clean. :D Mom boiled our toothbrushes yesterday and now mine is all soft and bent. Damn.

13:19 — Stars damnit. I looked at the physics exercise paper for about an hour and wrote down the stuff I understood. Yet I couldn't even get one half of any exercise done. I went through my notes and just didn't find anything useful, and I didn't have the book with me either. I'm going to be majorly screwed if the final test will be anything remortely similar to this. 8 study credits down the drain. >_< And that's like one third or one fourth of the amount I've done this school year. I'm so bloody dead.
I'm dead also because it's bloody hot. It may not be this hot in May!

00:10 — Today (okay, yesterday now) was the day for the traditional fun-making of first-year university students. Or however you'd translate fuksijäynä into English. Nevertheless, there just can't be a better event thing than that organized by the university's RPG club. Full-scale epic LARP, complete with plot, character sheets and silly costumes. The main bad evil antagonist stole our student hats and shirts. Our healing potions were regular beer and the cleric had some really weird stuff in his bag (lots of alcoholic beverages serving as Speak with dead, Haste, Bull's Strength and whatnot). (I had to repost this thing because I forgot to write about the random encounter with the lawyer.)

First the evil bad guy had us locked into the club's backroom. Well, some people thought it would be very cool to play bridge right then, so they played bridge. Some wondered how they'll get out of the room. One of the organizers was with us and started panicking because of the bridge and beat the door until the others let her out. Shortly after that we decided to stop playing bridge and try the door to get out. Yay, it worked!
After that we were told that (to get our student hats and shirts back as the bad guy had stolen them) we'd have to go to the great mage in Herwood's great tower. Yay, for the water tower of Hervanta, it's just too bad that the most experienced person with respect to that was the group's half-orc barbarian. Oh well, we went for the tower then. I was given the dice bag since I didn't have a weapon. Biiig dice made of paper!
Our first random encounter was two orcs, who we whacked. The orc retired and gave us a morningstar as well as a gift horse for our dwarf. Well, the dwarf got stuck to the horse (pushable wagon or whatever kottikärryt is in English), so we had to push him around in it. Note that water towers are in high places.
Can you imagine how awesome it looks when a group of about ten people walk around in extremely silly costumes wile speaking RPG slang?
Well, we arrived at the water tower where we found the mighty mage who challenged us to wizards' duel (MTG cards). Well, due to the elevator limitation of 475 kg and 6 people, only half of our party actually was there and none of them (except the half-orc) knew MTG. Thus the Necromancer cast some spell on him and he could play. He was of course given a false pack of cards, but luckily the great blue 1,5 l drink that we had along was a mana potion. Lots of mana and we pnwed the game! The wizard said we need to go to the mall in the great Metropolis (Tampere) to find someone who can help us with our quest.
So we went to Tampere by a bus. The first bus that got to us was totally full, but about half of our party fit there. Again the awesomeness that is about five extremely sillily dressed people in an absolutely filled bus.
Well, in Tampere we got stared at a lot. Our target was a pizzeria, where we met something who had lost a miniature-sized giant-space-hamster and we needed to save it before he'd give us information about someone who knew the lair of the bad guy. Well, we ate and got going. A new party member joined us at this point. At this point we walked through one of the busiest places in Tampere.
The hamster-nabbers were along the Tammerkoski river. It was probably our toughest encounter, because the offenders, when we approached, did nothing, and we just giggled because one was a large guy in a bra made of Shell logos and the other a balding guy in a top and see-through pink/orange bag-pants. When we got close enough, they just turned around suddenly and started singing some totally lame-ass lovesong. Most of our party just cracked up (especially the half-orc, he laughed so hard he fell down to the ground). After that no one would attack them and the singing hurt our ears, so we had to stuff our ears with parsley that the Druid conveniently had along. Well, even after that we had trouble because no one really wanted to attack and obviously no one heard anything because of the parsley. The half-orc got sat on, too. Meanwhile, the Necromacer shifted through their bags. We were just supposed to search their pockets for the damn hamster, and eventually we got around doing that. By that time, the kidnappers were holding the hamster in their hands and we snatched it. Once we'd taken it, the enemies bawled.
The hamster told us that the great lair of the evil guy is in the great Tower of Seeing (the sight-seeing tower of Pispala) and we would have to cross the land of the dead (graveyard) to get there. Well, off we go!
In front of the church in the graveyard The first orc we ran into came to us as a zombie and said that since they don't let him or his partner into the great church of Peelor (peelo meaning idiot in Finnish) to be married, our party would need to do it. Well, no problem, the Paladin does the ceremony while the druid plays a song on the pixie's flute and the rest of us formed an arc with our weapons (except me since I had no weapon, but I made great use of the paper dice). After that the zombie orc gave us some really foul highly alcoholic beverage. Well, that's according to the others since I didn't drink it.
The journey continued and in the graveyard we met a dead vamipe whose tree-stub grave ad been disturbed by four bridge-playing undead things. Well, we got to get rid of them for her before we could pass, but they couldn't hear us. Therefore we needed that Speak with dead drink, and though we negotiated a long time, they didn't move. However, our party stole altogether three cards from the pack while they were playing as we negotiated about playing bridge for the freedom of the tree stub. Then, as the undead discovered they were missing cards, they started blaming each other for cheating and quit playing, so the tree stub was saved.
The final trip was a painstaking one up the ridge in Pispala to the sight-seeing tower. There was also a random encounter, we got approached by a lawyer who gave us her business card (it read "Random encounter") and accused us of breaking copyright laws. We then discovered the dark elf was the violator, imitating Drizzt Do'urden. We discussed about killing the lawyer or the dark elf or doing mething, and then, half-accidentally, the half-orc stabbed the dark elf in the stomach and killed him. Well, case resolved and the cleric cured critical wounds.
There was a damn crapload of people at the tower! Glare to the power of ten! There we saw we final boss of a bad guy and his minions. Then our parties needed to pose for the final battle and the initiatives were decided by the height of people. The bad guy had the finger of death, and he said "Pull on this", after which at least one of our party pulled the finger and died. While hitting, the bad guy hit the holy symbol of the Cleric (it was an ideal target), but the GM said that doing that doesn't do damage because it hit the holy symbol! All in all, a lot of people were killed, a lot of zombies were raised and a lot of damage was dealt (and I pnwed with my paper dice), but finally (after divine intervention) the bad guy was surrounded and whacked to death. After that he tried to go fall on our loot, but he missed and we got our student hats and shirts over his dead body!

Afterwards we went to listen to the Vapputervehdys by Captain Pirk.

16:08 — I went to the (a?) city administrative court today to change my name. Well, didn't go too smoothly, but also not too bad since at least I wasn't told to sod off. I had to write an explanation for the change after initially being told that I can just change it without any explanations. The stuff got sent to Nokia, I wonder if I have to go there. Even the place in Tampere had moved, I had to walk a few kilometers more and my feet protested a little. Was too hot, apparently.

17:30 — I changed the tires to our bigger car last weekend. I think the summer tires are a bit more noisy than the friction tires, but then again the roads are dry and noisy too. Either way, the tires have been changed and I didn't even hurt a place on my body!
I've been having fun playing Pokémon. We're getting the "new" games fairly soon, too. Two GBA consoles and Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. And chargers and the connecting cable thing or whatever it is.
My dad confessed. >_>

17:48 — I forgot to say that I pnwed the math exercises. I did one of nine yesterday and the rest eight today during the two skip hours I had. Then there were five people in the exercise checking class, two of whom had actually done exercises (and I was one of them). And I was probably the only one who'd done them all (besides the assistant of course). So I ended up doing altogether three exercises on the board, yay. Oh well. I pwn. That's the most important thing.

15:45 — Stars fuck it. Last Friday, I took Battlestar Galactica on tape because I needed the sleep. Well, today I watched what I had on the tape. Guess what.
Two thirds of the show was there, no problem, but during the second commercial break the channel changed to SexTV. SexTV. Okay, but when I want to watch BSG... really. Fuck I say.
